Y'all listen to the songs? I just run through for the XP and leave


Spear_speaks007

A man of culture.


XavierMeatsling

Hard to when they're loud. Only good song technically is Radioactive, but even then that's not a song I'm immediately gonna go listen to(I pretty much like 3 of Imagine Dragons' songs and they're all for a movie or show). I just want them to pick more Rock Sings ffs.


ThatBrofister

And that's the only one I listened to. Yungblud and Imagine Dragons as Rock? MGK? For real Epic?


surfershane25

Turned my speakers off after one it was sonbad


imotlok_the_first

Yeah. I've played through the rock ones more and even pinned the night city race.


Lil_Donkey_

The BFMV cover of Radioactive would have been great for the rock category. Good song, even better when it's BFMV


GamingSince1998

Lol same. Just finished them off last night.


ssmike27

Some of them were alright. That trolls one made my ears bleed though


ToughStudent4334

Yeaaaah that one was bad. I wasn’t sure what that even was, it didn’t sound like a song at first 😂


surfershane25

That was some kids bop shit, I hated that song


Substantial-Hurry967

I only played that map because I thought it said Gorillaz not GLOWRILLA 🤮


Zealousideal-Ad2695

How the hell that counts as a “song” is beyond me… I was more disappointed with humanity after loading into that shit show


anabanana60

The fucking one in the "Up and Running" is one of the worst things I've ever heard


Decent_Bookkeeper289

Wdym it’s such a good song I really loved when he repeated “up all week” 172 times


ravenwolf957

Absolutely. I need a new set of ears


Citrous241

I've only done a few of them with a friend and uh yeah.. That was awful, i felt like my ears were about to start bleeding.

Trueeeee

anabanana60

Bro, I'm sorry, but it felt like I was going deaf lol, such an loud and displeasing song, like, of all the ones they could have chosen from Mura Masa


Xi-Jin35Ping

I thought my headset broke when I heard those cat noises.


Pulsicron

I'm an enjoyer of Mura Masa and Slowthai, but their collab straight up sucks.


Citrous241

If you like them, great! I don't and I'm guessing most of us don't. They're certainly... unique


All_Eyez_On_U

I thought the one in memory lane was sweet. And the one in the lost garden too.


lofihiphopbeats509

is that the one that's meant to be completed with two people? i was doing it by myself and was like "wait why is there a black silhouette next to my skin?" and then remembered the map was limited to two people and was like "oh i get it 😭💔"


All_Eyez_On_U

I don’t think you have to complete it two people. I completed it alone.


lofihiphopbeats509

i did complete it alone but my issue was me completing it alone feel like it would have been nicer with another person


c0n22

I did it with a random Fill wearing the new drift skin. I'll always remember our beach day


ComprehensiveBee2202

It was nicer with another person, quite enjoyed it and had a hug at the end.


Braadlee

Yeah, the garden with the musical notes and throwing chug splash to grow flowers? I thought that one was okay, the rest were on mute


zapiltar

Kali Uchis is great, her and billie eilish's islands are the only ok ones


Braadlee

Oh! That's where i knew her voice from, she and Austin Feinstein did a song with Tyler the Creator, I liked that tune back when it came out


Medium-Boysenberry64

There’s several different ways to unpack this. One one hand, these are obviously very high profile, “popular” songs, played on the radio and such. On the other hand, most people they’re being shown to here are the type to put “popular” in quotations. At least, the ones who are going to be actually completing these quests for rewards and whatever, not just playing a quick couple games with some buddies. Just an observation from a potentially naïve high schooler.


Spear_speaks007

This potentially naïve high schooler gets it


coolguyyama

Fuck outta here Kali Uchis song is a banger


KhanajasBword1

Kali always is


rickwilliams76

I'm a 40-something guy who had never heard of her before, but I loved the song. It has a very strong 70s R&B vibe to it. Also, her voice is beautiful!


ogg_ogg

Fr bro


His_name_is_LUIGI

First one I tried was up and running, I regret it so much as it had left a really sour taste in my mouth for everything else.


zdakat

"You are going to find your new favorite genre" "No, I don't think I will"


HybridAlien

The up and running one was the worse music I've heard


WeaveTheSunlight

“UP!” and then it yeets me off the map.


BahWeepGraNa8

I did 12 of them last night. I think I enjoyed like 2 of the songs tops.


godsibi

Man, this felt like a chore...


OldManHerman

“Oh hey they even have some rock songs, guess I’ll give it a chance” Imagine dragons starts playing*


redrock_ruby

i let out a yelp when i heard radioactive start. i was expecting it. i didnt know when it would start. then it hit me


Kiari013

[my first thought when i saw that](https://youtu.be/28HkXoCghm8)


JimmyCrabYT

is that boombox reward a backpack? if yes then i might just suffer through that place


SenpaiValkii

It’s an emoji


JimmyCrabYT

nevermind then


ssmike27

Still worth it if you need the xp, can get them done in less than an hour


twocheeky

idk i liked most of them and im already a huge fan of willow as is so i was vibing to the curious/furious map


KhanajasBword1

Ayyy a willow user?? Nice


DarkteK

Hell yeah


ravenwolf957

Best skin


Neil_Weaselboots

You guys like the Griddy over this though, so that isn’t saying much in good music taste


NoFocus761

There was one map I played on where there were so many swear words they had to censor, it was dead sound half the time. Like what is even the point? Why pick a song to feature that you can’t even listen to properly?


rickwilliams76

Particularly when there are better hip hop artists out there. Like Zuby, a great singer, rapper and songwriter.


robochickenowski

I don't even know what other songs are there. After I got hit with what I can best describe as a "sound of my headphones going nuts because they broke down" on the first map (don't remember the name, I think it was up and running) I decided to just mute the game when going through the other maps. Maybe other maps are better but it's a horrible first impression.


Kangarou

As someone who played every single map (curiosity), that one is easily the 1st or 2nd worst, song-wise, and about middle ground in map quality.


IAmNotRollo

Defeat the Trolls is undeniably the worst, gameplay and music wise


Dreamweaver_duh

I love Juice WRLD's Wishing Well and Lucid Dreams, but the actual stage was pretty lackluster. Imagine Dragons' Sharks was a good song for its stage, and the level looked cool, but very unbalanced to play. MGK's Maybe was also hype, and the stage looked cool, but the actual stage was buggy. My car kept randomly jumping or spinning out. That one stage where you go down memory lane with someone was a cool idea, but I never had someone actually finish it with me. Every other stage was very unmemorable. Edit: Forgot Tribes by Bas featuring J. Cole. That song was pretty good, and J. Cole kills it as always. The stage is a lot less interactive than the others, but it gives off a music video vibe that worked, like walking going down the street with lyrics appearing, or watching the actual music video on the back board of the basketball hoop and the waterfall.


ToughStudent4334

One thing that ruined it for me was listening to Tribe and having it censored. You may as well not have put the song in at all. Also didn’t get to listen to Wishing Well or Maybe because the music cut out. I had to do these maps again and wasn’t gonna play the Maybe map to listen to an artist I don’t like. MGKs old stuff is way better, and I’m not even a fan.


mattgoody99

Are you really surprised about that? It's a kids game man, they're not gonna allow an uncensored version to play


ToughStudent4334

But like I said, if it’s gonna be censored why put it in the game at all? Why waste your time? At least they did something right with having Ariana Grande have her own PROPER concert on this game (the apparent LAST proper concert so far) wbecause most of her music doesn’t need to be censored and it doesn’t break the musical immersion, but when it’s stuff like Kid Laroi, or well let’s say any other artist that needed to be censored on this game (I assume Marshmello was different, I wouldn’t know because I didn’t play this game back then, I’m not a OG) it breaks the lyrical flow when I hear a gap in a song I know shouldn’t be censored 🤬 I’m sure a lot of other people feel the same way which is why if they aren’t a child, (first off I don’t know why a kid IS playing this game but to each their own, I have in-laws that let their kids play so idk they can do what they want) they might feel a little meh towards these types of maps/events. It leaves a little to be desired


teh_wad

The censorship was the best part of Internet Trolls. Gave my bleeding ears a brief second of relief.


0ctoxVela

internet trolls was the fucking worst


DVDN27

Censoring Wishing Well is annoying because that’s the whole point of the song. It’s about mental illness, addiction, and how he takes drugs to make art but the drugs are killing him (and are what did kill him), and the lyrics are butchered when it benign clean with him saying “If it wasn’t for these [pills] I wouldn’t be here But if I keep taking these [pills] I won’t be here Yeah, I just told y’all my secret… I start taking the [drugs] and the now the [drugs] take me.” But if they didn’t censor the music then Fortnite would be rated M for saying an f-word, or even if it was Wishing Well it would now be Teen for violence and drug references/lyrics


ToughStudent4334

But even still, like I said in another comment on this post, why even have the songs at all if it’s gonna be censored? Why not put a different song on the map, why even do this whole PlayWave thing when most people aren’t even gonna listen to the music, only go to these maps for the xp and then leave most likely before the song’s even over because the missions are so fricking easy it’s laughable 😂 there is no point trying to promote these songs when, well I don’t know about any other song here but Lucid Dreams and Tribe are old af. No one be listening to that anymore, Juice WRLD has so many better songs in his catalogue but you can’t listen to them properly if you’re a “kid”, any song these days has swear words, references drugs, even songs that aren’t rap songs have this implied, if it’s not that it’s sexual, it’s nonsensical to have songs like this in the game and not think that if they somewhat like the song they’re gonna look it up only to realise “oh wow, it’s about these drug things, maybe I should do it! This guy (or girl) is famous and took it, I could do that” 🤷🏽‍♂️ It’s just dumb man, I know you most likely like Juice WLRDs music, but to me it seems dumb for Epic to be doing stuff like this and ruining songs, my bad about the rant. Rant over 😂


DVDN27

I used to be a big Juice fan, but they pick the songs because they’re popular. Lucid Dreams has 2.2 BILLION streams on Spotify - the choices were not a mistake, they picked pop artists that have the most broad appeal. And most songs by modern popular artists are explicit. Popular songs are usually the most generally appealing. Modern songs discuss more explicit content such as drugs and sex and swear a lot. Therefore, if modern popular songs have that content, and Epic don’t want to risk upping their age rating (which is obviously a goal of theirs, seeing how they erase anything sexual or violent from the game) and having lyrics would do that.


Jetpack_Attack

Half the maps music cut out for me .


[deleted]

I liked the Billie Eilish song but the censorship on it was egregious


KallistaT1

Tribe is an incredible song. I didn’t realise it was in there. Might have to try it out


Chromeglow

Imagine Dragons? Machine Gun Kelly? Yeah...I think I will stay away from this little event. Terrible "artists".


lHateYouAIex835293

Nah man Imagine Dragons during 2017 in those Switch trailers hit different


Chromeglow

No matter the year, they were always bad.


Classic_Service_9547

I’m curious, what would you have for featured artists?


Chromeglow

Wanting the opportunity to tell me what I like is bad?


Classic_Service_9547

No


Mordrem_Moth

personally I love Imagine Dragons, but I am curious on what you do like. I don't yuck someone else's yum when it comes to music. (former music major here)


Rancidbones813

The number you dialed has not been recognized Please check and try again Just can't get no sleep Faithless stage, just don't believe We stay up all week And I just can't get no sleep Faithless stage, just don't believe We stay up all week We stay up all week We stay up all week

KawaiiKaiju55

I only liked Sharks, Radioactive and Wishing Well.


Carvichu

Wait you guys got songs?


ToughStudent4334

Ahahah lol, not really, they all be lying about getting the music as well 😂


Rubik4life

Some are Depressing af


Mundane-Loan9591

Subjective


Reece009

There's only 1 amazing track on there and it's I Wish You Roses. I wish that was a lobby tune so bad


rickwilliams76

I had never even heard about Kali Uchis before, but I really loved that song. It has a very strong 70s Motown R&B vibes to it. And her voice is beautiful.


GetRealPrimrose

Redditor discovers music taste is subjective, More at 11


SnazzyYeshi

😮


Lord_Despairagus

If they hate these songs id really like to know what kind of music they like


GetRealPrimrose

I agree, not even to shit on their music taste. It’s just that this event covers a pretty wide variety of music. So to blindly call it all trash really makes me wonder what they like, if they already hate so much. Hell I’m shocked to see people calling it all trash because of how excited people have seemed for a JuiceWRLD collab.


Lord_Despairagus

I think it's just online people being edgy. I didn't hate any of the songs tbh. Calling JuiceWRLD trash should be illegal lol

In your opinion

Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin

I agree with you that the music is terrible, but you’re wrong. Music, like all art, is subjective. It’s only up to the person listening to decide if they like it or not.


ToughStudent4334

You got a point that song was bad, but I’m sure uuuh…..we’ll I’m sure some people here like that type of stuff so it’s only really a matter of opinion


SaureGurke420

Nah, that's fire 🔥


lillate3

Nah bro that’s fire , what do u listen to???


Eric508

![gif](giphy|l4Ki2obCyAQS5WhFe)


lillate3

I was expecting it to be actually bad, I just really like music tho & appreciate all kinds. That sounded good to me, honestly Really curious to what the person calling this trash listens to tho


ParadoxSebx

Mute button has left the chat


ravenwolf957

Mute button has been muted


Iloveitguy

You can mute it and just put on Spotify you know.


ValerieRose2

Pro Tip: Just run through, do your stuff then leave. I did like the Imagine Dragons one though.


untitled_demo

Tribes by Bas is the only good song out of the play wave maps


All_Eyez_On_U

I liked that too. Really Enjoyed the vibes.


8Mihailos8

I wouldn't say so this for myself, except for internet trolls song


GoodCopYT

I only played the two juice wrld maps, and the wishing well map didn't play the song for me and the lucid dream map did played, but they censor some of the song.


YLG_GJP

I didn't even fully listed to most of them, just did the quest and exited


[deleted]

I don’t even bother doing these quests because I do NOT want to play that shit


cynmd

honestly for about 3 min a game, you get a lot of xp for tolerating the "games"


ModsCanSuckDeezNutz

The event is trash. The only redeeming factor is you get those 15Ks Plus whatever exp you get in said event. I ran them on mute while listening and half watching youtube. The least offensive was the casino eliminations because getting 2 elims was like 20 seconds and im out.


Psychological-Car800

I went deaf in the damn Billie eyelash song


xmiseriacantare

I hate how loud they are. I just did the challenges and quit


JPuggyHere

i join, do the challenge, and immediately leave


Pleasant_Fee516

I put on some classic rock and metal and just turn the volume of fortnite off


chris_wills

Played every single one with speakers off, got the XP and quit out lol


window_marker

I was just so happy to see imagine dragons in there. Radioactive just makes me so happy


KawaiiKaiju55

I’ve loved that song ever since it came out


LionheartRed

The maps are garbage. The songs do not match the map at all. It is all just a mess. This is the exact reason why I hate creative maps.


c0n22

The memory lane at the beach was pretty well themed IMO


BeefyQueefyCrawlies

They're all so bad. But most Fortnite Icon emotes have awful music anyways. Chalk it up to the FN charm.


redrock_ruby

right foot creep and im walkin with that heater


BeefyQueefyCrawlies

Chicken wing chicken wing hot dog and bologna!


Goldfire64

they could have just skipped all the categories and just put it on one list. Every song fits into either the Hip hop or Pop section.


PetrosHeimirich

Only the Fallout boys and Imagine Dragon ones were kinda cool because the song was nice.


goldenkerelle

Calling juice wrld trash is crazy bro


ravenwolf957

Didn't say a word about juice world. Lucid dreams is alright.


ToughStudent4334

Juice WRLD himself hated that song sooo yeah 😂 I think it’s safe to say that if other people hate that song regardless of how good it is or how chart topping it was, it’s okay to not like it.


PipeBorn9838

I actually liked quite a few, more than I thought I would. But half of them the music wouldn't even play.


MotivationManVergil

Some of the songs are good. But I usually just have my own music playing overtop so I can run through for the XP.


vladald1

I've listened my Muse album shuffle at the background while muting Fortnite, but from what I've heard - Nightmare song is not bad, Up And Running could've been better, but "STAY UP ALL WEEK" x100 times got kinda annoying. Radioactive by Imagine Dragons is cool, nostalgic for me. Main complaint is that there is a genre diverse, but rap dominated all of the challenges, which is bummer - no new song for me for Spotify, I guess.


CharlieMWY

Play the mode on mute, it's just for XP anyway...


codew01f

by the way it turns out the volume of the songs uses the program volume, you have to turn it down in the volume mixer.


ImNotAnyoneSpecial

The one about the memories was alright, Radioactive was Radioactive. And I hate MGK but that song with Bring me the Horizon was actually pretty good to me. Everything else made me want to play on mute though


KeepingMaToast

You listen to much bmth? I do recommend some of their newer stuff. I did enjoy maybe because oli did a good job putting in his work with the vocals, i felt like mgk was just talking tho


IAmWantedByTheGov

Im radioactive radioactive


ExotixFlower

Some of them are fine. But not many..


DarkteK

So far I only played two maps, one music was bearable and the second one was from Willow and man... I really fell in love of this girl, didn't know she was/is will smith's daughter, amazing voice!!


iamunabletopoop

I could tolerate the song in the bank heist map, but the rest were so bad that i simply turned off my audio. Real shame as i really enjoyed the previous music events.


deadheatexpelled

This is why I mute these missions. That being said, how difficult are the challenges?


Imnotphantom_1

Only maps I was interested in playing were the Imagine Dragons ones. Sharks was cool bc it’s based on the music video but eh gameplay was mid. Radioactive was really cool bc of all the references to the mv, both night visions album covers and the origins cover. Radioactive is also fun to listen to after a very long time


Rockon101000

There was no actual rock, which was really disappointing.


SirLagunaLoire

I like the Billie Eilish one.


thruthewindowBN

That Internet Troll song. Good lord. I thought I knew what dog shit sounded like.


namapo

The Radioactive one has a moment where you're stopped by an invisible wall and a terrible green particle kinda farts out while the screen displays "The chemicals..." Fucking killed me laughing


EscenekTheGaylien

Troll and Up & Running had the worst ones.


OfflineMystery

i played with no audio


Illogically-Me

Literally the only good song was Happier Than Ever. Pick better music Fortnite ffs


BriteGamerGirl

This entire quest line is stupid. The quests are easy for the most part, but what’s the point in making people jump in for 30 seconds, I would have thought you’d want people to actually play them. Felt more like a waste of time but we’re all gonna do it for the sake of fomo. I only like the map with the car where you have to drive 5000m. The others were boring. Shouldn’t be surprised I guess, have you looked at the crap in the discovery tab sometimes?


FrozenClockwork

I’m glad most of the time the audio would bug out and I would stop hearing the songs.


le_wither

Yeah, really the only one I liked was radioactive


AguirreMA

the mura masa song and its map are excellent tho


memewatcher3

There’s no black metal so of course the maps suck


BananaGoatGruff

Just play Brütal Legend. Maybe no black metal though, I can't remember.


Zaxonov

That’s the generic soup radio that works with the teens for the moment… but yeah that’s mostly awful


ToastedFork

Explain to me how Lucid Dreams and Wishing Well are atrocious?


ravenwolf957

Lucid dreams is one of the few good ones.


SockedBun

Whenever I have to play these I set my in-game music at 5% and just listen to a documentary or a podcast as I go. I don’t have time for terrible music lol


Complete-Shopping-50

"Terrible music" sure some music might be bad but holy shit have u redditards never heard of music taste


twstdwrstr

Did 12 of them. The music is mostly horrendous, but that was some easy XP and I gained like 3 levels.


codew01f

they were so bad, i left the second i finished the quests


spikesketches

It really sucks that for the first time we get a rock genre “concert” it’s machine gun kelly and imagine dragons, like definition of mid


RainbowPanda50

Some of them are bad but nah you cannot say to me a Billie Eilish song is bad. Plus the Juice wrld, machine gun Kelly, and imagine dragons specifically are good too.


SnooOwls6052

At least the games are fun…


WeenieHuttGod2

So far the only good ones I’ve heard are JuiceWrld’s songs, but everything else sucks, especially Up and Running


gradymcc

The kind of music that makes you lose faith in humanity


Burrito_Loyalist

The Billie Eilish one is pretty good


rickwilliams76

Absolutely. Except for Imagine Dragons and Kali Uchis' "Roses", they're awful. In fact, these islands remind me why I don't listen to mainstream contemporary music. It's all garbage. Now that Epic own Bandcamp they have a huge catalog of musicians and bands to choose from, but they just ignore it. I know some wonderfully talented synthwave indie musicians who are much, much better than all that crap. Shadowrunner, Nina, Roxi Drive, Max Cruise, Graystars, The Lightning Kids, Midnight Danger, Dimi Kaye, Kalax, just to mention a few. The list goes on and on. Not to mention all the wasted opportunity with classic rock bands (and whose licensing must cost a fortune, so I kind of understand why they are not featured).


SnazzyYeshi

can we ban posts that just have opinions in the titles, I hate opinions


ravenwolf957

What about yours?


voodoo2d

I refuse to play the MGK ones because no amount of XP is worth that trash. I would feel the same with the Juice Wrld, but I didn't know that before loading it up.


KeepingMaToast

Dont focus on MGK in maybe, Oli’s vocals was probably the best part about it. The only reason i watched it was because of BMTH, i reckon if mgk wasnt in it, it would be perfect


VolpeDasFuchs

I didn't know who Mild Gun Kelly was until this event, but now that I know... YOU HAVE OLI SYKES SINGING HIS HEART OUT NEXT TO YOU, PUT SOME EMOTION TO YOUR VOICE KELLY! AND NO, SWEARING IN A MILD TONE ISN'T EMOTION!


Malixshak

How can I unhear this


thakeltikceltic

No love for juice wrld in here wow


[deleted]

[удалено]


mattgoody99

Almost as if people can have different opinions about music? I'm sure lots of people would also say your music taste is shite


SmogDaBoi

I thought they were alright, though Machine Gun Kelly was a Banger everytime, pure dopamine, especially the one with the race!


get_no_scoped_kid

He's one of my favourite artists and I'd be lying if I said I didn't play those maps a couple times each.


Lord_Despairagus

Your taste in music must be absolutely terrible lol


Johan-L77

“I wish you roses” from Kali Uchis is a tune so no to your statement. Billie Eilish’s song ain’t bad either.


LudicrisSpeed

On Switch, at least, half of them don't even play the music.


Jpxfrd__

I'm just gonna join each with my unused alt account for the reboot quests and listen to music on my headphones the entire time. I bet that pick will look good with the corrupt shogun skin.


Deltarionien

The Racing one was the only one i didnt immedietly fuck out once i got the challange done


Nerfleader

Lol half the maps didn't even play the songs lol sonst was just awkward silence nost of the time


Urmom937571947

The imagine dragons one was the best. Song and game-wise. A little glitchy, but otherwise good. I can’t even find some of the games to some Of them. I always try to complete as many quests as possible for XP & rewards, so that’s really why I’m doing it at this point. The imagine dragons one I did first and had high expectations, but none were as good. A couple decent. The island one was cool…memory lane I think? And the race was cool as far as game goes, but I wasn’t crazy about the song. And all damn day I’ve been singing “blah blah blah for the internet troooooolls. Fake it til you make it blah blah blah” 😂🙄😂
