100% of these statistics are entirely made up. Is Pitbull really that popular?
Youtube comments are probably the best place to go if you want to find some really ignorant statements. Some of the dumbest are these ridiculous calls to bring back “real music”. And there are a lot of them, because real music is redefined by every kid with a keyboard.
I’m gonna post a lot of these. Who the fuck is Flowers?
“Real music” isn’t a thing that actually exist, its more of a made-up idea about commercial, popular music somehow not actually being music. I guess some people got music confused with Christmas trees. Whatever the idiot that writes or posts one of these listens to becomes totally authentic actual music, and it makes you a better person than everyone that has ever heard a radio. It doesn’t matter what kind of music either, as long it isn’t Justin Bieber apparently.
Why does this girl like Linkin Park too?
I did get most of these from a J Biebz video, but I’m pretty sure that every one made shows immense hate for the dude. No problem if his music isn’t your thing, but I’m sure he gets a lot of blind hate just because he’s huge at the moment. Kids want to rebel and listen to Asking Alexandria or whatever and pretend to be more interesting than their friends (and to tell their parents they just don’t understand). It doesn’t stop there either, tons of people hate Asking Alexandria because of how fast they got scene popular, though it isn’t surprising at all considering the amount of scene band selling points they use all at once. AA can be real music next to T Swift, and fake bullshit next to La Dispute, which is fake bullshit according to skramz bros, and etc., creating a vicious cycle of elitism.
It just never ends! Mainstream pop isn’t real enough, so a kid turns to radio rock bands. They aren’t real enough, so he turns to scene bands who try pretty hard to be on the radio (All Time Low, A Day To Remember, etc.). They aren’t real enough so he turns to less popular “serious” scene bands like The Ghost Inside or maybe some Four Year Strong. They’re still too fake, so he turns to bands like the Wonder Years and Touche Amore, with reputations of being ‘tr00′ for their genre. He starts to think that their realness might just be gimmick, and turns to weird 90′s skramz bands. Then he sees too many kids jocking those bands, and turns to totally unknown skramz bands. He wakes up one day hating everyone who listens to anything, and cringingly refers to whatever he’s playing as ‘art’. Gross. And that’s not even considering the paths people take to becoming metal nerds, or indie posers, or even worse, post-rock aficianados. Because there are so many levels, no matter what you listen to some asshole can call you out on listening to “fake bullshit music”, when in fact all those bands are just as real as the others. What’s so bad with mainstream music anyway?
Because radio metal is rock n’ roll now. Rise Against sold out more than I thought.
Imagine playing any of those bands at a party or a club. No one would know the songs, dancing would be impossible, hot girls would leave, mellows would be harshed, and the only people left would be the nerds who had no chance of getting laid anyway. Simple catchy pop/dance songs about nothing important are important, and having mass appeal doesn’t make them bad. Just like how writing personal songs about your life and being poor doesn’t make your music any more real or better. Some people write songs about girls, some people write songs about girls and also are marketable, its all real music. No one likes that guy in the back of the room complaining about how fake pop music is while waiting to plug in his iPod full of undanceable boring/depressing/alienating ‘real music’.
Happened to me recently. Was at a chill party, chilling with some 7′s (being generous), jamming some Watch the Throne, when a couple pop-punk bros turn on like Such Gold or something. I even like Such Gold (not enough to know if it was them tho), and my mellow was severely harshed. Two songs later thankfully, someone turned it back to some ignorant hip-hop, but that party was almost sacrificed so two bros to sing along to their ‘meaningful bullshit’.
Lulzy Reggae one. Did not think reggae fans were fourteen.
Don’t be that guy who ruins people’s good times by hating on the fun music. No one wants to hear your sludge metal playlist or about that basement hardcore show/vegan buffet, or even that totally sweet breakdown you’ve been blasting in your car on repeat. The majority of people will always just listen to the radio, so learning to at least put up with it is a pretty important life skill. Mainstream music is just like every other genre, a lot of shit that’s not for you with a good amount of music you’ll actually really dig if you give a shot. Even if its targeted to kids, because there’s nothing wrong with some wholesome pop jams. This should be pretty obvious to anyone out of middle school, but my mind got pretty messed up by looking through youtube comments, and maybe this isn’t as basic as it should be.
I got three more of those pictures, just gonna tack them on at the end.
Bet this girl hates all the fake people in her freshman class.
Despite what most of these say, rap is apparently real music as well.
Euro version, the only place people are butthurt about ‘tr00′ techno.
Srs statement. Music to me is just organized noise. If you here it. Its real. Dont be a butthurt douche. But this post reminds of this one time I rocked Hammered Smash Face by Cannibal Corpse and Babykiller by Devourment at a house party. It was halrious no one was butt hurt a few ppl were actually headbanging. #notfuckstogive.
Homecoming freshman year of high school, me and a buncha bros got the DJ to play a death metal song in the “side room” (there were 2 rooms running music with 2 different DJs), and suddenly, mosh was had. Don’t stop believing.
I was at an event at my old church when someone requested the DJ play “moshing” music. The moshing quickly ensued for the minute of an Emmure intro song that was played while I sat back and lol’d at the hilarity of the situation
This post prompted me to put on some Journey.
I remember once at school in the ghetto a kid started furiously banging a stick against a wall and suddenly….mosh was had!
I remember this one time at a party last year i started masturbating furiously and, suddenly, mosh was had.
You say Ke$ha, I say Katy Parry
You say Shakira, I say Danzig
You say Nickelback’s “This Is How You Remind Me”, I say Nickelback’s “Someday”
100% of my LOLZ from these mashups are still 100% funny today.
Take note that every single person who makes one of these posts has terrible taste.
I like a few bands mentioned but yeh, they always ruin it with some shitty band that reveals how bad their taste really is.
Did you see that thing that just flew by over your head?
Yeah, that was the point of this whole post.
I’m really into hardcore. It’s an awesome scene with awesome music, but it’s always important to know that normal people don’t give a shit about hardcore or the fact that you like it. I hate seeing people that are oblivious to this.
Also, people only hate da Biebz because they’re jelly that a little kid is getting more ass and money than they ever will in their entire life.
This. I don’t tell people I’m into Swamp Thing or Outbreak because sincerely 99.99% of people don’t care, and the other .01% asked you.
Also biebz is a pimp, can’t b mad.
Beibz better be hittin’ as much as he can get now, before he turns 18 and only has 23 fans he can bang without going to jail.
Back hard. I listen to tons of abrasive metal music that most people hate, understandably. So when I am having a party I make sure I’ve got a mix of popular/chill stuff that I know other people will like, even though I could give a fuck about most of it. That or I just ask a black person brings their ipod.
I actually ask my black friends for their playlists. I dig dancehall and latin music myself so I get a good mix going! I always finish the night with Domination…..it’s a must for me!
But enough about me, let’s talk about you…..
Please Respond
ya i dont know what any of that stuf is i just listen to lady gaga and katy perry lol my bf tried to get me into screaming stuff but it hurt my ears :( lol
I like Ludacris and Pitbull better than Pink Floyd or the Sex Pistols. Who wouldn’t?
I wouldn’t.
I like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry better than Ludacris, Pitbull, and the Sex Pistols, but like Pink Floyd better than all of them. Even tho I can seriously jam to some Gaga. (srs)
Backed. Sex Pistols are lame, Pink Floyd is boring.
hot girls don’t like “real music”. one thing to always remember before saying you only like real music.
i always find these statements worthless. yeah, 99% of all pop music sucks ass, but no straight guy goes to a nightclub to listen to music. not every fuckable girl is a deathcore-obsessed scene gurl
Dude I go to clubs to get fucking buck to ignorant club rap. I love that shit.
+1
lil jon makes every song better. no exceptions
OKAY
I had to login just to agree with this comment. truth.
You say Touche Amore I say Cephalotripsy
You Say Defeater I say Xibalba
You say Hundredth I say Circle Of Death
You say 2011 Liferuiner I say 2008 Liferuiner
You say The Ghost Inside I say Devourment
92% of teens these days are into srscore, if you are one of the 8% that brings the ignorant mosh paste this into another comment section. Don’t let StuffYouWillHate die!
BACK TARD
You say 2011 Liferuiner I say 2008 Liferuiner
Fuckin gold. What has this band been up to beside changing members every 10 minutes? I do love me some Taking Back the Nightlife.
Also, it intrigues me how much TGI gets referenced on this site. My primary mental association of them is the time I got hit in the face by some fggt at their show in the back room of the Torrance Famima in ’08.
endhipsterAlso, the shirt I got at said show, which I am too fat for now.and by ’08 I mean ’07

COMMENT THREAD WINNER
Feeling all the names on that playlist, when disregarding lyrics. feelsschizofrenicman.tar.gz
I’m butthurt that people don’t like the music that I like, which I like BECAUSE other people don’t like it
Damn bro, I think that shit is much deeper than anyone realizes. brainisfulloffuck.jpg
brb all these layers of postmodernism are making me dizzy
Holy Shit, Christopher Nolan is in the thread guys!
mind=blown
everyone knows real music is on your. local “top 20 hits” station …. duhhhh
Oh hey, I contacted your tumblr about this thing! I remember just a few months ago before seriously reading SYWH thinking that Blink-182 wasn’t “true music” and turning to “true hxc”–but there was always one thing that bugged me…why is Blink-182 hated so much when some of their songs sound like a more accessible form of “tr00 hardcore.”
I finally got my head out of my ass and just admitted to myself that the differences between (early) Blink-182 and some Casualties songs were just negligible and not worth getting anal about. And then I realized something else…POP MUSIC CAN BE FUN AS FUCK TO LISTEN TO! I realized that getting pissed at a party because they weren’t playing “meaningful jamz” was stupid as fuck. Who cares about that when hot sluts are dancing to music about being hot sluts (via Ke$ha)???
Ever since then, I’ve been listening to whatever the hell I want to and it’s been great. Sometimes I really do want to listen to Norwegian Black Metal. I don’t know why I like it but I find the stuff fascinating. It’s ridiculous, absurd and yet somehow…I like it. And I also began to like listening to some party songs. Hey, it’s the weekday and I can’t go out and party on good conscience, but why not jam out to a few really FUN tracks?
And with that, my life has improved vastly. I do whatever the hell I want and don’t worry about what some idiot on Youtube thinks about me liking a LMFAO song or thinking Blink-182 is really fun to listen to. Who gives a shit? It only becomes embarrassing when you’re that guy in his basement complaining about people having fun, and only having other miserable, equally socially inept people agree with him.
/srsfaggotry
And oh god, for about 3 weeks in to college, I was that guy wanting to plug his ipod and show off the sludge metal collection (the worst part is…it really WAS sludge metal I wanted to show off). Feelsbadman.jpg
I KNOW THAT FEEL BRO
I know how much you guys like Tha Carter III, but let me show you some Acid Bath songs I swear youll love them.
Oh, so you like music from New Orleans like Lil Wayne? Check out Eyehategod!
I actually did this a few weeks ago but it was my bro’s b-day party and it is his favorite band.
Counts?
feelsbadman if it does.
Doesn’t count. His B-Day party, who gives a fuck about anyone else?
God Bless
Remember, kids, when we want Blink 182 to be serious, we get Angels and Airwaves.
Srs LAWLZ
This is a beautiful story of triumph over lame as fuck tendencies. YOU ARE INSPIRATION.
“Ever since then, I’ve been listening to whatever the hell I want to and it’s been great.”
I need everyone on the planet to have this revelation, world would improve.
But if everyone had this revelation, we couldn’t mock their butthurt anymore. That would make life less fun.
You say Earth Crisis I say Earth Crisis
92% of teens these days are into earth crisis, if you are one of the 8% that earth crisis
Glad to see a full post on this amazing trend, it’s been years now and these things are still going.
when kids use BMTH or Blessthefall as examples of “real music” = never not funny
I love how they associate “real” with “insane overproduction.” I went to Gigantour the year that High on Fire opened, followed by Job for a Cowboy. I can appreciate that that which springs forth from the amps of Matt Pike is not everyone’s cup of tea, especially in echoey-as-fuck Long Beach Arena (Christ, that place is fucking terrible), but when you herald the entrance of your beloved JFAG with “Now we get to hear some REAL music,” you look like a fucking idiot.
troll too hard sometimes
When I first saw this on your Tumblr, I thought it was a list of who was equivalent between different genres, like that Slipknot is the metal version of Miley Cyrus.
I was kind of looking forward to hearing the rationale for it.
This might be one of my favorite posts yet! The Youtube comments section is basically a portal into the worst of humanity, those “You say Kesha and I say Led Zeppelin” deals have been fucking bothering me FOREVER. People like different music, it happens, and has no significance on your well being.
The part about constantly upgrading to “realer” music is so spot-on. Once upon a time (middle school), Linkin Park was my favorite band. YEAH. THEY WERE. They even managed to be my first real “concert”. And I had a fucking blast! As the years passed, I started to discover punk and hardcore and screamo and started listening to a whole bunch of different things. I found myself in circles of people that would mock anyone for saying they like or ever liked Linkin Park, but you know what? Fuck it. Looking back, I can see that Linkin Park was a laughable nu-metal band with cliche “LIFE SUCKS PITY ME” lyrics, but I can still put on Hybrid Theory with zero shame. I can listen to some artsy poetic srsness like La Dispute, and then be completely ignorant and jam Acacia Strain. Who cares?
Also, people need to lay off Biebz. I don’t listen to him or even pay attention to him, but his music and success has no impact on my life or well-being. So why should I put the effort into hating him? He’s a talented young lad. Good for him.
WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE NIGHT TODAY?
come on, bro, sing with me
IT’S LIKE A FACE INSIDE IT’S RIGHT
BENEATH MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN
This man gets it. Hats off to you sir.
My first concert circa 2003 was Unearth. I went with the “homie” whom ended up trying to snake my bottle of cuervo. Looking back, feelsbadman
CAN WE TALK ABOUT ‘AUDIOPHILES’ PLEASE aka the absolute worst people on earth??
http://www.af4k.com/audio_bs.htm
My eyes melted after opening that page before I could read it
The only thing worse is faux audiophiles. I deal with them a lot at my work.
Muderders – Pedophiles – Rapists – Audiophiles
in time, i can forgive someone who commits murder. Someone who buys $400 speaker cables… MY HEART IS FILLED WITH HATE.
Well guess you can’t really waste that kind of money in self-defense…
Greatest post ever. For serious, half the people I know don’t even know what unlistenable garbage I actually like because I never play it when interacting with other humans because nobody wants to hear that shit besides me. Realizing this helps me to have friends and do things normal people do. Plus I dig terrible mnstrm rap (via not being a close-minded idiot).
you’re trying too hard brah
perhaps
srs confession: I once went to a show with La Dispute on the bill thinking it was LA Dispute and they would play ignorant wigger hardcore. I was incredibly disappointed to say the least.
legit LOL’d
i made the same mistake, only instead of “went to a show” substitute “googled their name + Mediafire”
BMTH, ADTR and Attack Attack are rock n roll?
roflmaoflmaoflrolflol
also, best blog post ever for 2011
Well, they not only have guitarists, they even have guitars in videos. So, yeah, that makes them easily identifiable as rock and roll to anyone who isn’t into that stuff.
There’s also Blood on the Dance Floor, which actually IS pop and rap music.
THE IRONY
Yeah, calling that one “rock and roll” just makes you sound like you’re 100 years old.
Most kids and youtube posts call them metal or death metal. Don’t know why Mr Parker decided to look for the few that call them rock and roll.
The reggae one is extra funny, becuase shouldn’t reggae fans be complaining about Sean Paul, Vybz Kartel, Beenie, maybe even Wisin & Yandel instead of Gaga and Bieber who are “ruining” styles that have nothing to do with reggae? OK, Bieber did one reggae-ish song that they can hate him for I guess…
that reminds me of that awful reggaeish song that Rihanna made that was on the radio everywhere for so long (is it still???)
sounded like she was forcing herself to sound jamaican or something
“Man Down”? Eh, really slow, very traditional, and has depressing lyrics so I should hate it but it’s still pretty good. One of my chick singers wants to do a metalcore cover of it.
think they mean Rude Boy. In fairness Rihnna is from that area I think
“Don’t be that guy who ruins people’s good times by hating on the fun music. ”
True words to live by.
The first example of these lists you post is pretty much the worst thing ever. I would spend 10 years listening to everything in column A if it meant never hearing Metallica, Sex Pistols, Iron Maiden, Doors, Pink Floyd and Twisted Sister ever again.
Also much lulz at the basic message of all these (teenagers must be “saved” from having bad taste in music). Having bad music taste is what being a teenager is all about. When I was 14 I thought Marilyn Manson was the greatest artist alive and wasn’t no oldfag going on about Metallica gonna convince me otherwise. Was I dumb? Fuck yeah. But who was dumber, the little kid in the Manson t-shirt or the old metalhead getting his rage hard-on about it?
who are flowers?? and y rnt they real music???
Brandon Flowers, maybe?
I considered that too, but indie rawk pretty boys dont really fit in with those other artists
Some of these have ‘You say pink, I say black’, lulzily bringing up image instead of music content in some lame douchebag metal way I assume, so maybe one person wrote like ‘You say Flowers, I say FIRE’ or some dumbshit, people kept copying it but substituted a band in there instead of an item, because the people who made these are pretty dumb. Only guess, really not sure.
Then again there’s so damn many bands out there that I’m sure there’s at least one called Black, one called The Black… so it doesn’t matter.
seems the only remotely reasonable explanation, LOL@ tweens and their sheep-like brains
Is it not possible for preteens to appreciate the natural beauty of both fire and flowers?
Wood smash that lulzy roundeyed azn in pic #1.
you read my mind!
First thought upon opening this article. She’s my type.
Definitely got that vomit in my mouth feeling after reading the term “post-rock aficionado”.
Hit that stage where I couldn’t understand why people dig the black keys or the white stripes. Gotta realize that theres a time and place to mosh, otherwise deal with 92% of whatever hits the your ears
So this reminds me of the time I saw Terror, TUI, STYG, Close Your Eyes, and Your Demise. The sound guy threw on some ignorant hip hop like Waka, biggie, and mobb deep. It was a floor show so about 20 of us were throwing no fucks with the bros from Your Demise and Terror.
Butthurt hxc bros got pissed and waited outside until the bands played the entire time.
Like what you like and quit acting like a butthurt tr00 moron…have fun for once.
Yo, getting buck between sets to wild-ass club rap = BACKED
Shitty pop music too, someone put on “Party Rock Anthem” between sets at a show, watch me lose my shit.
That music would definitely be setting the right mood for that show. Poor butthurt people miss out on all the fun.
I will only hate the Biebz once Selena Gomez is legal.
WAIT I WAS JUST INFORMED SHE’S LEGAL. Now I only have to wait on Paris Jackson.
you damn pedo lmao….
I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING XD
Everyone knows the only real music is John Cages 639 year long organ piece. Everyone can shut up about what real music is until this ends in 2640.
IMO it kinda sucks, i wish he hadn’t watered it down for the radio like that
tl;dr
This. Those Youtube comments make me want to bash my face against a wall. Trying to make yourself seem more important by listing whatever metalcore band is popular that week is pretty weak, especially because said band is just as generic as whatever pop artist you are trying to put down.
I like to wear band shirts alot, but thats pretty much where my outward expression of the music I like ends. I’m not gunna talk about how great Obituary or Harm’s Way is unless either I know you are into shit, or you ask. I have a group of friends who all listen to indie rock and hip-hop, and sometimes when we are all together, they ask me to put on some of my “crazy music” I either put on something super stereotypically “brutal” for us to laugh at or something I’m into thats a little more accessible to them.
Also, I remember in High School that the kids who constantly talked about how much they hated the Biebz were greasy chubby nerds who didn’t have many friends because of how douchey and unpleasant they were. Justin makes catchy music, I can get down with it, what’s the big deal?
1st half of 2nd paragraph a big +1. how the hell does demilich get into the conversation with normal people anyways?
+1 for the stereotypically brutal stuff. Entombment of a Machine by JFAC or basically anything by Disfiguring the Goddess does the trick.
I think it’s hilarious that people on the internet think that others give a shit about their opinion. everyone needs to learn to shut up.
My town has a venue that at the end of every local show they blast tik tok on the monitors. Its a fuckin sea of hardcore bros fist bumping and screaming kesha, a few butthurt assholes always walk out all pissed but no fucks given, funnest part of the night every night.
This really isn’t that relevant to this post but… Does anyone miss the ignorant club rap from the mid 2000s as much as I do? That stuff was the shit and nothing comes close to it anymore.
THIS. I mean I like a lot of the new stuff too, but 2003-2008 was an especially great time for retarded club rap (chingy, mike jones, lil jon, etc).
Don’t these kids realize that when they click a Justin Bieber video to post a stupid comment, they are giving him ad revenue?
But if they dislike his videos enough, METAL WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Srsly this is the best post ever!
You say Jonny Craig, I say Kurt Travis
92% of young adults have been in Dance Gavin Dance, if you are one of the 8% that hasn’t…
“Imagine playing any of those bands at a party or a club. No one would know the songs, dancing would be impossible, hot girls would leave, mellows would be harshed, and the only people left would be the nerds who had no chance of getting laid anyway.”
Solid as fuck, could you imagine bitches bumping their ass to some obscure maiden song your 8th grade history teacher made you listen to? THINK WITH YOUR DIPSTICK, JIMMY. Stick with what works.
The worst is the Prog-Metal nerds who think everything has to be complicated and techinically perfect. Nerd says “Man these guys have no talent. Listen to Dream Theater, they play such complicated solo’s and time signatures!”
yo, i took my lady to a katy perry concert and had a real good time. i’d rather listen to all that shit on the left than all that shit on the right.
You say Katy Perry, I say alright bro
You say Miley Cyrus, I say that’s cool, not my cup of tea
You say Justin Beiber, I say I hear good things, but have yet to listen to it
You say Flowers, I say what?
92% of people care way too much about what music other people listen to. 8% don’t give cares.
You say Emperor, I say Cradle of Filth.
You say Deicide, I say Bring Me The Horizon.
You say Slayer, I say Municipal Waste.
You say Blind Guardian, I say Killswitch Engage.
You say Darkthrone, I say Abigail Williams.
You say Mayhem, I say Dimmu Borgir.
95% of metal nerds will get their panties in a twist if you actually think this. Copy and paste this onto as many metal forums as you can just to piss them off and watch them call you a faggot over and over again like it’s actually offensive.
lol i’m so out of touch with metal i had to read this like three times, because the first two times i was like “huh? i don’t get it, why the fuck would anyone listen to Blind Guardian or Deicide?? isn’t this just the most obvious choice ever?” and then i realized metal nerds have horrible taste and this would be considered controversial!
Really, nobody would actially consider it controversial… People would just think that your taste in music sucks. And Blind Guardian is better than your favorite band. 92% of teens agree with me.
Metalhead nerds stuck in 1999/2000 STILL live by Blind Guardian and Deicide.
I paid $30 to get into a Deicide show just to see the opening band Pathology slam that sickness for 25 minutes. 3 songs into Deicide, I left.
You say Lady gaga, i say Torsofuck
You say Katy Perry, i say Anal Cunt
You say Justin Biber i say Pig Destroyer
You say Flowers i say Waking the Cadaver
Lol
slammin list brah
I facepalmed so hard to this I almost broke my nose.
80% of teens have switched to pop and hip hop. If you are part of the 20% who listens to mainstream metalcore/deathcore, that’s cool, listen to what you want, and let the other folks listen to pop and hip hop. Don’t let common decency die!!!!
Am I the only one in love with the azn on the first pic? She’s like, “come at me, bro” someone should do a meme on that!
Dude in an earlier comment wanted to bone her too. I would only if she held that face.
You guys sure seem to care a lot about other people valuing their musical taste over “making friends.”
Just some food for thought.
My wife and I actually have a “veto” system whenever we’re both in the car, because I listen to a lot of fairly obscure stuff from various genres while she’s into mainstream-ish stuff, so we generally annoy the hell out of each other with almost all of our music.
I would never put Cary Grace on in the middle of a party (not that I really like to party anyway) but if I can’t drown out the garbage then I will actually go outside. Deal with it.
You literally don’t like fun?
I love fun, I just don’t find parties fun.
“please, enough with the jokes. i don’t enjoy humor.”
Normally I’m an incredible smartass, but I don’t get it this time…
Anyway, a lot of the time it’s people who like pop that get their panties in wad when they ask what I like to listen to, I answer, they ask if any of that would be good to play on the stereo, and I say most of it would not. Apparently the very fact that I like different things ends up spoiling everything for everyone.
What’s also funny is the other side of the whole coin, when people go onto metal videos and say “This is just a bunch of screaming, it isn’t real music!”
The majority don’t attack it though, or at least not in a lulzy way like this.
The point was to listen to what you like and be more open-minded to things you may have written off, and that goes both ways.
Somebody actually said that shit on the Invisible Oranges metal blog recently.
I meant “tune out.”
There’s a reason why radio music is big: because it is appealing, and while it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the majority of people like the shit. It’s formulated to make your toes tap. If I’m in a club chilling, or at a work social just vibing, I don’t want to hear the latest Verb the Noun band, I wanna hear AC/DC, or Rihanna, or something with a steady metronome that you can converse over.
You say any of these bands, I say why not zoidberg.
I’m actually surprised comments like this still exist. They’re a relic from the days of the reign of scene when it was actually still a thing.
I’ve definitely learnt how to put up with ‘mainstream’ music because you kind of have to in society.
But on the other hand I just can’t stand it for the following reasons:
- The sheer arrogance ie.Rhianna, Minaj
- The fact they feel they have to look ‘different’ ie. Gaga, Minaj
-The fact they have to have catchy hooks repeated over and over again to brainwash people to ‘like’ it. ie.Hopless place – Rhianna.
There’s a lot more reasons but those are pretty much the main reasons.
I’m not saying it’s not ‘real’ music. It’s just they just don’t seem to be putting as much effort or emotion into their ‘work’ yet still get paid a shit load.
For the record, favorite bands include – Touche Amore, Pianos Become The Teeth etc.
-Well bands like Touche, Pianos, pretty much like 90% of any band will have some sort of arrogance involved in how they present themselves, kind of a moot point.
-I blame Gaga for that, but pretty sure the copying Gaga trend has peaked, so things should be back to normal soon? I like my pop broads to dress classy instead of weird, but that’s just me.
-Catchy hooks are awesome! Its not brainwashing, its just being memorable and something to sing with, like the most fun part of mainstream music.
And they put in emotion, they’re just more positive about it (usually) cause that sells more. Gaga could right a song about feeling out of place and make a dance hit, Wonder Years bro would write one and make a sad song for kids who love basements or whatever.
I recommend some non-the Wave bands for you too, plenty of great post-hardcore bands around doing crazy interesting stuff.
Speaking of classy pop broads, did U see Kelly Clarkson in the AMAs wearin that red dress?

Yea the the reason mainstream music annoys me is that a large chunk of people who listen to don’t actually like music at all, it’s just one of their multiple methods of “looking cool”. Tho I guess some people are like that in the underground too.
That applies to so many hipsters and posers who pretend to be into ‘real’ music too tho. Everybody is just going along with liking certain music to impress certain people and seem ‘cool’, that’s how music works and bands get popular.
Why in the world would anyone pretend to like any kind of music – be it mainstream or obscure – to impress anyone else? Who would ever be impressed by that nonsense anyway?
Why would anyone have to read this blog to be able to just like what they like?

Why in the world would anyone pretend to like any kind of music – be it mainstream or obscure – to impress anyone else? Who would ever be impressed by that nonsense anyway?
Why would anyone have to read this blog to be able to just like what they like?

This guy gets it. Civilization exists because of people trying to impress other people, mostly dudes trying to get laid.

So long as music comes from the heart (not saying it has to be deep or meaningful, just saying the artist has to enjoy making it and yes, actually make it, not pay some douchey producer to write and program the whole fucking thing) there’s no reason to shit-talk it.
Wouldn’t it be coming from the producer’s heart then??
Its funny because none of the artists matched the genres
