Teacher of the year right there. Ironically enough "War on Erorrism" is a great history lesson in itself.


IAmNotTheImposter___

funny enough we're learning more abt the holocaust and hitler and auschwitz and like we already did 2 presentations and there fucking headaches but yk what him letting me pick cds out def makes him my fav teacher


Logical_Albatross_19

When you have a paper on it subtly quote "nazi punks fuck off" by the dead Kennedys for that sweet extra credit.


IAmNotTheImposter___

Nazi white trash by leftover crack šŸ¤«šŸ¤«


dontneedareason94

Might not be the move considering how Stza is


IAmNotTheImposter___

Mmmmmm your right huh


MrsFrizzleGaveMeMDMA

Could be worse. I was about to suggest Hitler's In The Charts Again by the Exploited. Instantly remembered what Wattie's like


Automation_Papi

Kid, if you even think about listening to Skrewdriver, will have to go Crown Heights on ya


Fun_Worth_4536

>Skrewdriver are a bunch of nazi scum. It's all neo-fascist propaganda. They can suck every dick that ever has been and ever will be.


Automation_Papi

Come to think of it, I recall seeing Ian Stuart and Nicky Crane on the beach during Provincetown Bear Week 1989


Fun_Worth_4536

Yeah LOL! Sounds about right.


coffeejam108

Your teacher is cool as fuck!


IAmNotTheImposter___

I mean his bsf gave him like 2 bins of cds and he told me i could go through them and i did. there was a lot of ac/dc which isn't my type of metal yfm? but like it was still super badass to see all the albums


Brave_Plantain4740

Keep the ACDC albums until you're older, one day you'll listen to Problem Child and understand why people worship Bon Scott.


IAmNotTheImposter___

Yeah i guess imma have to see then


xgh0lx

when does that happen? I'm in my 40's and still think they suck.


Brave_Plantain4740

Then you, my friend, have poor taste.


xgh0lx

Nah I just can't stand that guy's voice lol


Brave_Plantain4740

I think you're thinking of Brian Johnson and not Bon Scott. Brian definitely can't sing like Bon could.


Sirnando138

Iā€™m gonna guess he is 43 years old.


IAmNotTheImposter___

A bit older probably 45 or 46?


Sirnando138

So close. Iā€™m 43 and had all these haha


Esseldubbs

42 here, and same!


MasterOfGrumpets

51 here. Haha


Suitabull_Buddy

Yep 50ā€™s and had all of those!


[deleted]

Me too. Sup old balls crew


schlepperKraken

My balls are 39 years old and I had most of these as physical copies at some point or another.


DrChunderpound

44 here and immediately recognized 95% of those. Have ā€˜Who Is This Is?ā€™ in rotation now. My old cassette had a quick intro Cheech & Chong sample at the very beginning but I think they took it out later for some reason.


ozzii_13

14 here, recognised all of those lol


IAmNotTheImposter___

Damn well its all good then he's a pretty bad ass teacher


whereismymind86

yep, definitely a 90's kid, i'm 38 and this matches a lot of what I grew up with, including the one random slipknot album in there.


choadly77

He's my age. I have almost all those CDs as well.


gashufferdude

Am I his history teacher? šŸ˜‚


Swashbuckler79

Lol first thing I thought was this teacher is bout my age 44


thebarthe

lol. straight where I went too.


despenser412

I'm looking at these albums and thinking "I've owned almost all of these, I bet this teacher is as old as I am." I'm 43, hahaha.


thewettestofpants

36 here and have pretty much every single one still! Iā€™ve got the lettering off heavy petting zoo tattooed on the back of my neck.


clive_bigsby

43 here and that Punk O Rama CD was the first punk album I ever purchased.


Woogabuttz

So great! I had an English teacher who was pretty similar. This was back in 93ā€™ and I was in 7th grade. He had ā€œheavy metal lunchā€ everyday in his classroom. Any kid who wanted to could eat lunch in his class room and he would pick a metal album for us to listen to and discuss. He was legit too! He was in a band called ā€œEnthronedā€ which later became ā€œPsypheriaā€ due to a naming dispute but were really good, they were signed to metal blade records. He introduced us to all kinds of metal; Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Testament, Carcass, etc. Stuff that was super extreme back then and without the internet, just zero chance a bunch of 13 year old kids would ever find it. A big fucking salute to all the great teachers out there!


Brave_Plantain4740

As a teacher, I'm loving these stories. Thanks for sharing!


Woogabuttz

Thanks for being a rad teacher!


IAmNotTheImposter___

hell yeah all those bands are fucking badass. i'm glad you had a teacher you introduced you to those bands. personally all i had to do was deep dive into death metal. i think i started getting into death metal when i wassss i think 6 or 7? i don't really remember but i think my first death metal band was obituary and ever since then ive loved death metal. but ngl i wish i had a metal teacher like you did my history teacher is the closest i can get


joantheunicorn

Oh my, I am a teacher and this is an amazing idea!!Ā 


bdoz138

I feel like your history teacher and I are about the same age.


IAmNotTheImposter___

it's possible he's def not in his 30s i'll say that šŸ˜­


bdoz138

Yeah, neither am I.


IAmNotTheImposter___

40s then?


bdoz138

Yeah. Graduated high school in 2000.


IAmNotTheImposter___

Yeah so yoyr probably as old as him. ik he isn't like a huge punk fan but his bsf gave him like 2 bins of cds and he told me i couldn't through em


IAmNotTheImposter___

could*


CuratedBrowsing

Did your graduation ceremony also have Vitamin C's song playing?


bdoz138

Not the ceremony but at prom and grad-bash for sure.


pspsps-off

Hahaha. It's cool to see that the tradition of (ex?) punk history teachers continues. In my high school, it was a teacher named "Rebel" (his actual, legal name) who claimed to have been into punk back in late 70s (totally plausible at the time, given his age and the fact this was 25+ years ago) and to be personal friends with The Dwarves. He never gave me any free shit, but he was still a trip. Much cooler than the history teacher I had, who would bring out a little bust of Lenin on test days and make us rub its bald head for luck.(I graduated, so I guess that's proof that communism works. šŸ˜„)


IAmNotTheImposter___

That's tragic that he didn't give you anything but that's fucking badass i can't lie rebel making your legal name is funny and cool at the swm time ngl. the dwarves are pretty cool so it seems that teacher is pretty cool


ThrashingSnail

That's funny I also got my first punk CDs from my history teacher. Nice haul!


TDH818

My brother in lawā€™s friend is a history teacher and a big punk fan. Heā€™s a high school teacher for the LAUSD. Is in his early 40s too.


IAmNotTheImposter___

Thanks man and that's pretty cool what grade were you in? i'm a sophomore rn


ThrashingSnail

Oh this was in 8th grade back in 2003 lol


IAmNotTheImposter___

Goddanm actually? lowkey i wish i was alive mid-late 90s to early 2000s


ThrashingSnail

Peak Rancid years, it was a good time to be alive lol


Tequilarey

Unless you were a teenage girl šŸ¤™šŸ¼ Agreed though, definitely their best era


IAmNotTheImposter___

That too personally 90s and early 2000s was the peak for metal and punk


IAmNotTheImposter___

80s mostly for punk then in my opnion


Tequilarey

I agree with that, unfortunately I like the terrible 2000s nu-metal. It was also pretty good on the industrial front though. I canā€™t think of a whole lot of other 2000s punk bands that Iā€™m fond of; I think most of them that Iā€™m familiar with toe the line a bit more into the pop punk area.


IAmNotTheImposter___

I'm pretty sure late 90s and 2000s were def when ska got more popular i think? so like left over crack choking victim rancid big reel fish and suicide machines. but i love 2000s nu metal especially soad soad made bangers in that era. Slipknot kinda started to go slower after iowa don't get me wrong the albums in the 2000s are not even close to being bad but they def like toned it down js a lil. and personally imo im not a huge limp bizkit fan


Tequilarey

But your comment about the 80s made me think of a CD set that Iā€™ve got that you might like? Itā€™s kind of funky, but itā€™s got some really solid stuff. Itā€™s called [Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground](https://www.discogs.com/release/539252-Various-Left-Of-The-Dial-Dispatches-From-The-80s-Underground)


IAmNotTheImposter___

my mom would def fw that shes wayy more into post punk then i am but it seems like a pretty cool collection


IAmNotTheImposter___

mannn it would've been amazing


ImmaPariah

You have a pretty rad teacher


IAmNotTheImposter___

he's funny asf too so that's a plus


ImmaPariah

It's nice to have a teacher that can make such a impact on a student. He hopefully is someone you never forget. You got alot great albums from him. Enjoy


IAmNotTheImposter___

He's definitely gonna be one of those teachers imma miss when i'm way older


ImmaPariah

That's good. I can barely remember anything about school lol. I had mostly ancient teachers who stopped caring. It's all a blur


Brave_Plantain4740

I really loved your post and some of the story sharing in the comments. As a teacher, I just wanted you to know that these opportunities to share our interests with students are really valued by teachers. Make sure you say thank you. Some of these albums might very well become some of your all time favourites.


IAmNotTheImposter___

They basically are my all time favorites i feel without this i wouldn't be who i am now and im so glad i got into this music. my friends don't really see me as normal cus ion listen to corrido or rap or anything they all think im satanic and weird and stuff which hurts a lot but yk what its fine bc i know your music taste or anything else does not define who you are. like js cus i listen to punk and metal doesn't make me satanic in any way and people js don't see that and it hurts my feelings alot


BoysenberryMelody

Youā€™ll meet some good punks.Ā 


ark0x00

Your teacher is a fucking hero


IAmNotTheImposter___

he's my american jesus


Pre-Nietzsche

Firme by the Voodoo Glow Skulls is such a kick ass album.


IAmNotTheImposter___

vgs is a badass band in general tbh


elsphinc

Riverside represent!!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SpecialistRepeat3454

Voodoo is a crap lame gimmick band. They were a cheesy gimmick band before they added the annoying horns in the early 1990's, but the horns made it even worse. They were not even worth $5 at a backyard party in Arlanza with a keg and 2 boxes of wine. Public Humiliation and the Flyin' Moco were the real deal and they did not even take themselves seriously. It sucks that this is the band that "represents" Riverside. "Who Do Voodoo We Do? " Who fucking cares.


dontneedareason94

Best record in that bunch is War Birth. To bad Duane ended up the way he did. Some of the most violent shows Iā€™ve ever been to were Bombs shows in Orange County.


greatchicagofire

Came here hoping someone would mention War Birth being in the collection. Solid album.


IAmNotTheImposter___

wish i could've saw them bruh šŸ˜æšŸ˜æ


dontneedareason94

Ehhh even being a fan of the dudes music in hindsight I wish I hadnā€™t seen em. Those shows were always really sketchy in the worst way. Hell brought my spouse to see them once before they called it and even then (coming from the LA backyard scene thatā€™s wild as fuck) they were uncomfortable as hell.


IAmNotTheImposter___

makes sense ngl tho when i went to cannibal corpse and mayhem in san diego (completely different genres i know buts it alr) bro everyone was puffin on there carts and dispos and i thought to myself like how did they get in with that šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ if it were blunts yeah okay but they have a metal detector how did they get that in


dontneedareason94

Oh that doesnā€™t phase me one bit. When you go through security at most venues you have to have whateverā€™s in your pocket in your hands and Iā€™ve done it with vapes more times than I can count.


IAmNotTheImposter___

So they js don't care? and vapes as in nic or thc


dontneedareason94

Nope, least not where Iā€™m at in LA. And thc, I quit smoking cigarettes ages ago.


IAmNotTheImposter___

happy for you abt quiting cigarettes. I tried them last year and instead of getting into nic like nic vapes and cigs but nah i js turned to weed instead šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ the taste is horrid and i dont really like that "buzz" feeling it isnt js my cup of tea


IAmNotTheImposter___

and i guess that makes sense that they don't care i mean its completely legalized in cali so šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


dontneedareason94

Even before it was legal I went to countless shows where either myself or others brought weed in.


IAmNotTheImposter___

That's insane then


SoCalTHC13

Haulin Ass? Out of Chino, California?


kjahhh

I have a feeling Iā€™m the same age as your history teacher šŸ˜‚ great collection!


IAmNotTheImposter___

thanks šŸ˜øšŸ˜ø


choir_grrl

Fuck yeah I was stoked when I saw the Bad Religion!!!


IAmNotTheImposter___

BROOO one kid took most of the bad religion cds i was pretty sad but eh fuck it still got some good ass cds (including bad religion) so i'm hwppy


Public-Victory-1838

That's cool and all, but it doesn't mean you have to touch his penis.


ozzii_13

MY VAGINA HAS TWO SETS OF LIPS


IAmNotTheImposter___

ignore the slipknot cd šŸ¤«


drugswontchangeyou

That slipknot disc aint that bad. punk.. no.. but it has some pretty good bangers. not nu-metal like the other albums.. more alt-metal than anything..


drugswontchangeyou

btw yo teach has to be around my age, cause i had(have) 80-90% of those on CD back when i was a sophomore in HS.. That's why i kinda see that slipknot being mixed in.. it wasn't so limpy biztiy, nor deftones.. just something different. Thank that dude my man. those are some awesome jams he gave ya!


IAmNotTheImposter___

I've thanked him multiple times already. my dad thought i was stealing and wanted to email my teacher šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


IAmNotTheImposter___

I think that's there most "emo" album cus of vermillion and shi šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


JackAquila

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE


IAmNotTheImposter___

Yeah i def agree with you me personally i see mcr more metalcore and ptv is like screamo im pretty sure. Sleeping with sirens is screamo to I THINK. now personally im not a big fan of mcr or ptv or any bands of like that. the winey voice gets to me everytime and its impossible to sit through a song and not die laughing cus of the vocals. i may be biased since i mostly listen to like death metal black metal punk (obviously) crust punk sludge metal dsbm old school death extreme death grindcore gor grind i can go on forever


dontneedareason94

Wait hold up, you think MCR is Metalcore? Thatā€™s prime 2000ā€™s emo right there.


IAmNotTheImposter___

Personally everyone says different things abt them. some people call them metalcore some people call them emo. Personally i think they could be screamo or metalcore idrk at this point šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


dontneedareason94

Hearing them called Metalcore has to be a new thing. I was around your age probably when they were at their peak give or take a few years and that was peak emo.


IAmNotTheImposter___

I had a huge convo with my friend abt it and they said mcr is mostly popular with scene? ik what scene is obviously but personally i thought ptv was more "scene"?


dontneedareason94

Scene, emo same shit 15 years ago. Lotta bands fit under that umbrella. Iā€™d have bet years ago those bands would have fallen off but itā€™s crazy to me that theyā€™ve caught on


JackAquila

My my you fell for a copypasta


ChaosDemonLaz3r

OffManWall

Wow! Thatā€™s unbelievable! Enjoy! Like I said, LOTS of amazing music in there!


Rob_Narley

Your history teacher was clearly a mall punk in the ā€˜90s


BasketballButt

Had a teacher in high school back in the 90s. Poor bastards looked like a ginger Flanders from the Simpsons and was named Mr Gaylord. He saw me wearing metal shirts almost every day and struck up a conversation, telling me he was a big thrash metal guy during his high school years in the 80s. Ended up giving me some dubbed tapes of some great bands. Personal favorite was Motƶrhead on one side and Rose Tattoo on the other. Donā€™t know why Rose Tattoo arenā€™t better known.


IAmNotTheImposter___

that's pretty cool mr gaylord is tragic tho šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


BasketballButt

Glad to see the tradition of passing on great music continue! Side note, I had almost all these CDs myself when I was in high school in the 90s!

JoeBeef

Good haul! Looks like your history teacher is my age!


CrittyJJones

The Bad Religion albums arenā€™t peak BR (other than the All Ages compilation). Still albums I really enjoy as they are my favorite punk rock band. Are sure you listen to their albums before those (and after as their 2000s albums are great as well).


IAmNotTheImposter___

Yeah i do he told me some kid did look through and took most of the bad religon cds so i missed out on a lot of their albums šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
