A constant source of imitation for so-called \"noise rock\" bands, it has yet to be surpassed in it's nihilistic glee. Recorded between October 1980 and August 1981 and released in 1982 on the indispensable Subterranean Records, this album functions as a chaotic, sticky mass of individual personalities: the magma-like bass eruptions and dual vocals of Will Shatter and Bruce Loose, Ted Falconi's icy guitar scraping and the relentless beat of drummer Steve DePace. At times playful and taciturn, paranoid and absurd, Generic charts a deliberate path that willfully chances destruction. In early '80s punk, when the hardening default was \"faster-shorter-louder,\" Generic subverts the nascent hardcore scene with a strictly applied regimen of turgid-slower-heavier. The lyrics are bleak, yet unnervingly beautiful. \"Ever\" sets the tone with trademark restraint-\"Ever wish the human race didn't exist? And then realize you're one too?\"-while closer \"Sex Bomb\" is a churning, 8-minute epic with looping bass, saxophone accompaniment and electronic effects of dropping bombs. Tons of indie bands have attempted to recreate Flipper's mix of acidic guitar, metallic bass sludge and sardonically brilliant lyricism, using the seemingly effortless template they pioneered; however, the effect usually drives listeners right back to Generic. While most of their contemporaries wilt under direct comparison, No Trend, the Butthole Surfers, feedtime and Church Police are a few who can stand the frigid heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca class=\"ui-tabs-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/webami.aent.com\/generic-flipper-yellow\/850051035069#mt-2\" id=\"MusicCredits\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content\" id=\"aec-musictabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"false\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-corner-bottom ui-widget-content\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" id=\"mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracksonly\" id=\"aec-jukebox\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Ever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Life Is Cheap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Shed No Tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e I Saw You Shine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Way of the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Living for the Depression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e Sex Bomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ROCK \u0026 ROLL HALL OF FAME RECORD STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029398569129,"sku":"850051035069-R","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5982\/5577\/files\/generic-flipper-album-vinyl.webp?v=1776434314","url":"https:\/\/shop.rockhall.com\/es\/products\/flipper-album-generic-flipper-limited-edition-yellow-color-vinyl-lp","provider":"Rock \u0026 Roll Hall of Fame Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
