sorry Broham, but band creation exceeded critical mass around the time of the early 00's influx of Brooklyn Retro-IroniClash™,  which we are still trying to reconcile.

My suggestion: form a "situation", it's way cooler than being in a band.

Really though, my influences are AIC, RHCP, AudioSlave, Jaco & EARLY Dream Theatre.

Here's me shredding during XANATOS THE MIGHTY: Prelude III, my former band's Magnum Opus. I totally don't get credit on the CD-R, but I TOTALLY came up with the main groove during the third bridge.

Seriously man, form a band and have some fun playing some tunes. It's really satisfying. My suggestion: teach a friend to play an instrument. you already know they are cool, and they'll pick it up in a coupla months (maybe sooner).

I think if you specify that a genre you wish to emulate must be "unironic" then the music you make will probably be bad.

I like a few of those groups and I am interested in starting a band only if we unironically cover Gluckman's air mixes and John Cage's 4'33''.

I just misread "unironic" as "uni-ronic" and thought to myself wearily, "There's yet another hep term I don't get."
