Episode 288: Generation Underground

Mike from Generation Underground is back on the Chord Progression Podcast, this time with new members Rob and Raf. Mike does not hold back when talking about what happened to the band recently with changes in members, managers, publicists, and what they've learned in order to make put the band in the position they want to. We then dive into everything you could imagine around the rock and metal scene. We discuss everything going on with MGK, how many smaller bands are bringing new ideas to the table and should be given the platform to rise up, adapting to culture and the internet to promote and grow your band, why we aren't embracing pop culture shedding more light onto the music scene, the Grammys, and why we should embrace the next generation. Dont miss out on this one, this band knows what's up.   Find Generation Underground Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/generationunder Twitter: https://twitter.com/generationunder Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/generationunder/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GenerationUnderground ebsite: https://generationunderground.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3j3WqVQydWiWaLzBrhyOkb?si=hZnDZPYkSlC5Tpv4T7JWig Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/generation-underground/1279153471   Thank you to our sponsor Custom Debuts: http://fluroes.myshopify.com/discount/CPP10 Use code CPP10 for 10% off your order.   Thank you to our sponsor FNX Fitness: https://fnx.grsm.io/msotdrocks USE CODE "MSOTD" FOR 15% OFF YOUR ENTIRE ORDER!   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chordprogressionpodcast   Twitter: https://twitter.com/cppodofficial   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chordprogressionpodcast/   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chordprogressionpodcast   YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqRKZCDMcFHIYbJaLQMfDbQ   Chord Progression Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/53XWPGrIUvgavKF5Fm6SLk   Chord Progression Podcast (Apple Podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chord-progression/id1454876657   Chord Progression Podcast (Amazon): https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b8dad803-444c-4a73-8aa5-67b4fc43f4ba   Chord Progression Podcast (iHeart Radio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-chord-progression-70632531/   Podcast Webpage: https://mysongoftheday.com/my-song-of-the-day-rock-2000-today/chord-progression-podcast/   Intro: (0:00) Welcome Back Generation Underground: (4:11) Mike Explains what Happened to the Band: (5:39) Diving into our thoughts on MGK and Recycling Material: (19:27) Smaller Bands Bringing New Ideas to the Table, and some Bigger Ones Too: (25:15) Why You Need To Adapt to the Internet and Culture: (35:08) MGK, Travis Barker, and not embracing pop culture entering rock music: (56:05) Letting the Next Generation Come Through: (1:13:48) Pablo from Chelsea Grin and Back to Not Embracing the Next Generation: (1:21:15) Don't Miss Generation Underground: (1:40:39)
