I'm going through the exact same crisis, dude. I'm also 20.

This thread convinced me to start listening to Television! In general I'm more of a Shoegaze/Dream-pop kind of guy who enjoys guitar lines drenched in effects. But lately I've been getting into Viet Cong and other post-punk stuff that apparently focuses more on the playing. Television has been a great find for me so thank you!
I'm glad I'm not the only one going through it, haha. It's definitely making me think more about my playing than I have in a while to be honest.


I'm gonna check out that CBGB video soon for sure.

Also I'm really liking what I've heard of Nels Cline too

viet cong, preoccupations/women and all of that shit is all excellent. I wouldn't go so far as to say they focus more on playing but they don't cover what they are playing. Plenty of shoegaze stuff is complex...Swervedriver for one.
Television is fukicng timeless

go listen to the Wake, not even close to related but may also blow your minds
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

Sound quality of The Blow Up is pretty bad though unless someone did a truly heroic remaster.

Also, I wish I had discovered Television at the OP’s age instead of waiting about a decade longer.
You are right, I actually meant "double exposure" which are Demos recorded with Eno for the most part.

Sorry for the confusion, although these are pretty lofi.

Later they got more "erratic" with their guitar playing but this is just so nice
