The ironing of this band being on Rise. The ironing of how ‘popular music sux ppl r dumb only real music is real’ songs are themselves incredibly formulaic, predictable and cliche. Dat album title, which I really wish I would have come up for the ENPEDESTALMENT demo (“Every Day I Tell Myself I’m Going To Be A Better Person”).
‘reality tv is like, such a f—ing waste of time. i can’t believe you watch that crap. i’m so passionate about art.’
Wait, did they call out … Sublime as an example of a popular radio band? OMG, maybe they’re SOO tr00 the last time they listened to the radio was b4 brandonley knowells kilt himself via shotgun.
It’s honestly hard for me to wrap my head around how someone could write these lyrics with complete sincerity. They’re so obvious and over-the-top angsty that they really do sound like a parody. I’m curious how old the guys in this band are?
Also, Duck Dynasty is a ridiculously scripted reality show but I love it and can’t stop watching!
music is srs
Please tell me those aren’t the actual lyrics. Please tell me those are just the once-a-post YouTube comment screenshots.
rise really need to cut down on all these betacore bands
Um, if you don’t like what’s on the radio couldn’t you just, y’know, turn it off? There’s a surprising amount of options available as far as listening to music goes these days. Such as the discman, for example.
I’m sick of them shoving this corporate garbage down my throat!!
Sent from my iPhone
BRB just going to say how hipster they are from TUMBLER….
hahahah
“sent from my iPhone”
Makes end world look like lyrical gods. At least they sing about real things not stuff that’s easily avoidable like crap on the radio and reality tv
>implying Endworld aren’t lyrical gods for “YOU ARE A SCUM SLUT”
look at the first top comment and backtrack to maady’s first comment. things like that make me cringe and pisses me off. “ugh, guys, you have to, like, wake up guys. like, things and stuff are happening. please like, look around you. like, wake up.”
and when that uppercut person hits the nail on the head with his reply, maady the special snowflake makes an even more stupid comment. “there is hardly any intelligent life forms left…” oh teach me your ways enlightened one!
DAMN IT i fell for it. now i’m full of butthurt hatred towards the world too. :(
oh boy, I can’t believe those were the actually lyrics.
these bros must be super fun at parties
“Sooooo SICK of your “beer” and “shots”, where is the mixologist? I really could use a vintage-fuzzy-absinthe-steampunk-daiquiri…”
‘ugh, beer is so cheesy’
I love it when all these douchebags are like “I H8 TRENDY MUSIC OMG”, meanwhile they probably all listened to A Day to Remember, Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals back in 2008, when THAT was the “in” thing.
Tbh I wouldn’t mind lyrics about reality tv or mainstream music (or most other subjects for that matter regardless of whether I care about/agree with them) so long as they’re well written, witty and/or have some originality to them. This doesn’t have any of those redeeming factors though and the album and song titles are so bad they almost sound like parodies.
Deep-undercover troll-band?
I’d like to think so
Maybe in-so-deep they’re in over their heads, getting high on their own supply, trying to forget their troubled-past, seeking revenge, co-starring Lance Henrickson…THAT DEEP UNDERCOVER?
Fukkn lold! Lance Henrickson put it over the top.
misser’s ep was mad promising and the new cd is pretty mediocre. i remember when they put this out and i was like “ghey”
“I wish everyone would grow up”
signed, a single twenty something who is “rlly passionate about music,” has a bunch of tattoos, and wears a cabby hat because that’s what authentic New Yorkers do. SOUNDS LIKE U RLLY HAV UR LYF 2GETHER BRO
I’m sorry if this was brought up in the initial ENPEDESTALMENT thread, but I need to know how to pronounce!! Is it en-PED-es-tal-ment or en-pe-DEST-al-ment?
Word nerds gotta know!
Pretty sure it’s en-pedestal-ment, as in putting Demi Lovato/Jamie Eason on a pedestal for worship as the goddesses of Sergeant D
I feel ya but I still prefer en-pe-DEST-al-ment. But then I also still pronounce it se-PULT-u-ra in 2012. NO FUCKS
I HATE WHEN THINGS USE A FORMULA DIFFERENT FROM OURS
(i) strong lol @ people who think liking stuff like reality tv and pop music makes them INAUTHENTIC HUMAN BEINGS. it’s very “i have a surface understanding of one way you can live a MEANINGFUL life, so i’m just going to follow the cliches of this way and conclude that all other ways are for sheeple”.
(ii) using this opportunity to mention one of my current fav reality tv shows, #EXCUSED. it’s like NEXT meets BLIND DATE. plus, wood wife the host because she’s actually really funny.
I’m not sure which part makes me cringe more: that these bros think that ‘trashing da mnstrm’ is still edgy and cool, or the fact that this song sounds like a really shitty version of Brand New’s “Mixtape”
Also, ten bux says that this is gonna be played on the radio some day.
These lyrics are so embarrassing. Hopefully dudes grow up one day, realize what little chodes they were being. If they’re gonna be whiny little bitches on something, why not at least talk about something that matters?
Oooh, wait. Maybe the album is one of those concept albums about a total fucking douchebag idiot tool learning to be a better person. This is one of those songs where he whines and bitches so the audience understands that he’s a little bitch with no friends, and by the end of the album he becomes an actual person without a bunch of dumb opinions no one gives a fuck about.
Wishful thinking.
brb writing concept album called “DO U EVEN LIFT FGT” for my new bildungsromancore band ACQUIRE THE AESTHETICS
bildungsromancore = fuck_yeah.mp4
Pre-order available????
In a variety of exclusive package deals!
will there be songs about kreyateen? how working out on the insanity program is way better than p90x?
these are things i have to know before I pre-order the package deal with the poster that is signed in the back of course =D <3
BRB paying $10.99 to register acquiretheaesthetics.com
Inb4 every band on Rise suddenly turns 25 and grows up and releases concept albums about mortgage repayments
Hoping the last song on the album is a electro-pop song about clubbing.
Would be a thousand times better than whatever it actually is. If only.
unfortunately i knew exactly what this was gonna be the second i read the title. i actually enjoy this band (via being a fggt) but lyrically they do NOT have the ability. i feel vicariously embarrassed for all of these new pop punk bands, despite loving their music.
The lyrics look like they’re literally stolen from some overly negative 14-year old’s (who probably describes himself as “really mature”) Facebook rant that no one liked and/or commented on.
I HAVE A NAME U KNOW, U JOCK ASSHOLE, sob…. (no one understands MEEEEEEE…)
lol@”jock” being used in any context anymore
A+ no one liked or commented on detail
the only troo artist ever was Kurt Cobain
fvck bvllshit
Kurt Cobain was just a 90′s worshipping Srscore fag IMO
Doesn’t he realise it’s not the 90′s anymore?
Kurt Cobain was a chill bro and legit drug addict responsible for perhaps the most overrated band ever by being worshiped by losers for making something that isn’t pop music popular when their shit only became popular because it was written and produced like pop music.
He was too fucked up for the Melvins so he made Nirvana.
BRO FIST
It’s probably been mentioned already, but I saw this post this morning and assumed if they’re hating on mnstrm mzik it must be some kind of srscore band (which would still be retarded as fuck) but now I’m on my lunch break and listening to it… holy shit this sounds like a song that should be on the fucking radio.
the ironing of their mediocre pop band taking a stand against mediocre pop
The lyrics read more like the stangry musings of a Facebook rant than a song.
They don’t even rhyme!!!
And if you don’t like reality tv, change the channel fggt! U know there’s whole channels dedicated to tr00 documentaries right??? Pretty sure that’s easier than writing a stangry song about how you wish the world would end because everyone else is having fun and you aren’t.
Is the use of autotune in the line about autotune supposed to be ironic? they must be so witty irl. I love their controversial and revolutionary opinions about pop culture, they must rly know how to save our society from ruin :((
This just feels like every time someone posts the Futurama ‘I don’t want to live on this planet anymore’ meme after they learn that artistic endeavors are 90% commerce based.
‘Ew. Another season of Jersey Shore? I Don’t Want To Live On This Planet Anymore. Fuck, I’m different.’
I hope they become really popular and this plays on the radio endlessly.
While listening to the song, my mind erased the original lyrics and replaced it with “my pussy hurts” over and over on the original melody.
Amaze.
“Radio music is so generic and without a message”-Signed “By The Book, Incredibly Dull Ikeacore Band”
File under that embarrassing moment when you complain about talentless generic singers on the radio when you sound like a talentless hack trying to imitate mnstrm pop-punk vocals.
Seriously, that was an incredibly boring song. It’s like if they’re too pussy to play their music fast and too “anti-commercial” to focus on the pop-punk melody underlying their shitty song. Have not been so bored with a song in a long time. Hxc ain’t for pussies and pop-punk ain’t for fggts.
Totally unrelated to this post (but related since I’mma talk about Ikeacore in general) but is there anything more enraging than a “political punk” band that has an anti-Fascist message in 2k12? Was reading the bio of Ikeacore band Propagandhi and saw they had an “anti-Fascist” message. Fantastic, too bad that nobody except idiots have repped Fascism in 60 years. Brb making Anti-Feudal songs.
Best post from YT:
“When Mayday Parade tried to be La Dispute. Only this band isn’t good enough to be either.”
OUCH. That hurts.
I think we can summarize this easily:
Caring about what’s on the radio and TV after you’re 15? Embarrassing as fuck.
the comments on youtube are 10x funnier than the actual song
Sarge, as a huge Propagandhi, Trial, MLIW fan. How can you, the hardcore lawmaster, lump them in crap like this? Your word is law. You’re like the architect from the matrix. You need to live up to your responsibilities brah.
I’ve known various members of Trial for about 15 years (or as I like to call them Trail), and would definitely not lump then in with this or ikeacore in general. Trial is an actual hardcore band, for people who like hardcore. Propaghandi is the pop punk band ‘ur allowed to liek bc they have smrat lyrics’
The government south of us does bad things 2 foreigners bc they r terrorists – poppagandhi
LOL
If these guys lightened up I might dig them. But I don’t think they would want me as a fan because I think stuff like “Call Me Maybe” is catchier than gonorrhea and listen to it all the time. I’m not tr00 enough for them.
“I’m really starting to hope the world ends in 2012″
What a bunch a self-absorbed cunts.
Ironically this is super radio-friendly.
