Steven Patrick Morrissey. Fuck him and his whiney bitch voice. He’s also an asshole.

If anyone says Rush, I will find you…oh yes, I will find you.
Rush.
(Just saying that so you pop by, and we can listen to some Rush together, maybe also some Yes, Hawkwind, Floyd, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, early Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Dream Theater, Fleetwood Mac, and Golden Earing’s Radar Love.)
I’ll say Rush, too, if it can get me in on this action.
Count me in, thats a great lineup
Rush is goddamn terrible. Every song changes tempo 12 times so the drummer can show off.

It sounds like you don’t like pop music. 1989 is an objectively good album. I don’t know anything else about any of her other music, but that single album is DENSE with well executed main stream pop.
Having said that, should tickets to see her be as expensive as they are? Should people be as obsessed with her as they are? No on both counts.

Electric Callboy. Saw them live at a festival. They’re sooo popular here right now, but OMG this is not Metal. This is Carnival music. Glittery idiots, techno bassline and confetti canons. I actually left their performance early.
For me, it’s Oasis. When they reformed recently to play some shows, it was headline news across the UK.
They’re an okay band, but far from being anything special.
They’re musically enjoyable but I do feel like we, as a society, need to truly reckon with how bad Oasis’s lyrics are. My general thought is that they wrote the music first and then said “well let’s not worry about having coherent lyrics, let’s just have me singing words that sound good at the right time in the song”.
Oasis always sounded like they were imitating the concept of emotion, in their music, rather than actually expressing any. I don’t believe Liam and Noel Gallagher have ever felt any emotions beyond disdain for one another
If any band has enough fans to have a “fandom”, they deserve it. You still never have to listen to them or buy their music and that is fine as well. Anyone who names a band they dislike, probably has one they like that others on here hate. Big deal. Everyone has their own taste. All hype is, well, hype. It is all manufactured.
Sex Pistols. Don’t get me wrong I like them, but they were children who made one album and were barely a band for a year. Their hype really comes down to the story of Sid and Nancy’s deaths.
Weren’t they a manufacturend boy band also? I think I read that somewhere
My understanding is that it was a more or less some kids that hung out at the same stores in a mall.
Edit: I looked it up. They hung out in Vivian’s Westwoods clothing store, Sex. Westwood and another fashion guy from those stores managed and styled them. Sounds like Westwood might have even fed them lines that became lyrics. They barely knew how to play their instruments for a solid chunk of that time.
Sounds like a boy band to me.
There is a sound bite on the pirates of destiny album where Lydon was recorded saying that sid couldn’t play anything so ig that confirms it
Pink Floyd.
Some of their music is nice to listen to. Some of it is catchy. Most of it is just boring.
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE! GET’EM UP AGAINST THE WALL!
Imagine Dragons, ugh, music designed for car commercials and 8th graders, fucking rip my ear drums out.
I’d just add that I think part of their popularity comes from their “safe” image. You put on an Imagine Dragons song, you know you’re getting a pretty apolitical “pop-rock” song, not like those dumb hippies from the 70s or those indie-rock losers. Which I think sucks, to be clear.
whats wrong with imagine dragons?
TIL that Taylor Swift is a band.
all.
especially the cia psyop ones.
so, especially nearly all.
Taylor Swift.
Why
The Beatles. Fight me.
My coworker wouldve loved this thread lmao, he was the biggest Beatles/Metallica hater ever.
I’ll fight you to say it loudest.
I get that they were supposedly somehow pretty influential but nothing in their catalog is pleasant to listen to.
It has all the quality of a garage band of middle school children recorded on a tape recorder that was run over by their dads car.
I couldn’t even pretend to like it to get with a really hot hippie chick in high school, not worth it.
Weezer.
They have exactly two songs.
One song, Buddy Holly, is good.
Every other song of theirs is all the same song over and over again.
This makes me think of the band Everclear. Every song of theirs is exactly the same. Dun dun dun dun dun da du-un Yeah! dun dun dun dun dun da du-un Oh yeah! Insert lyrics about gardens or daddy issues. However, speed that same song up and call it “Amphetamine” and it kinda slaps.
I like Hash Pipe…
Yes! Weezer is the Beatles for white suburban kids who don’t like spicy tacos.
All of them. It’s just music.
I like the bands/albums/singles that I like, that’s enough.
Integrating a band into my identity is so far from likely that I won’t even buy or wear a fan t-shirt.
Sounds like you don’t like music, you just prefer it to silence
Not at all, I love music. But it’s a personal experience.
Sure, but you say it’s “just” music, whereas for me music is the greatest possible thing humans are capable of. It’s still personal, but in no way is it “just” music
Sorry. I’m not explaining myself well and “just” was a poor word choice.
I refuse to (try to) idolize anything (well anything tangible) and especially things that are important to me. So music is an art like any other art. Someone will love it others might hate it and that’s fine.
The “hype” is idolatry. Kind of in the biblical sense.
My relationship is with the music, not the artist. So no artist is with the “hype”.
Hmm. If your relationship is with the music though, by extension youd have to care about the artist somewhat… so there’s no artist where you like a majority of their songs? Did you grow up only listening to greatest hits of the decades playlists? I wonder if this is more common among those who didnt grow up with albums.
We’ve diverged from the OP’s question and descended into gatekeeping how to “music” properly.
Time to finish.
