![]() ![]() It's also where I discovered two bands I would class as my favourite at different points, Bombay Bicycle Club and Deftones. The "shows" were parades of music videos with titles like Biggest! Hottest! Loudest!, Hits from the Brits!, and Kasabian vs Killers vs Kings of Leon!. It was part of a weird sort of specialisation from the pre-streaming era where good old-fashioned MTV ONLY played reality TV shows like Jersey Shore and Catfish: The TV Show, and things like MTV Rocks (FIFAcore), MTV Base (""""urban"""") and MTV Dance (unts unts music) played nothing but music with no human intervention. If you don't know, MTV Rocks was an MTV offshoot (duh) that basically only played indie music. I saw the first band I truly fell in love with, Kings of Leon, on MTV Rocks one day. Though I never actually played the game, save for brief trouncings at mate's houses, I came to what I think of the key artists of FIFAcore in other ways, essentially. This is not a genre that either Wikipedia or Allmusic would recognise, but I think among people roughly my age you could definitely put together a list of "FIFAcore" artists. The point of this is I didn't have these key experiences and yet I still think I could quite easily define for you the genre of FIFAcore. I didn't even play Mario until I was maybe thirteen at my dad's girlfriend's house in Friern Barnet. This means I am noticeably awful at all of the traditional Boy Things like FIFA and COD. I didn't even have a computer until I was ten, and a proper Internet connection until I was twelve. I never had a games console when I was a younger. Time for another Sprezzatura Sob Story(TM)! Not as sad as the last one, I promise. Songs that were on the FIFA soundtracks, songs that should have been, songs I mention elsewhere in the post, all in one playlist!
