Me at 14 trying to recreate my favorite palm-muted metal strumming patterns from songs I know: “what the hell why does their shit sound so good and thumping and my shit sounds like AM radio static in a tin can?”

Me, many many years later: “BASS! IT WAS ALL MISSING THE FUCKING BASS!”

A song without bass is like a glass without water or something like that

It took a while as a guitarist/keyboard player just learning and starting out to realize how fundamental it is. I kept trying to turn up the low end of things in the mixer in my software to compensate without realizing what I was missing.
