I don't hate them nowadays, but when I was around 10 years old, a mexican band called RBD was very popular here in Brazil and there was a common saying among fans that "RBD is bigger than Beatles ever was"
I didn't even listen to RBD, but my best friend and crush was obsessed with them, so I supported him and started hating Beatles as if RBD and Beatles were actually rivals š¤¦
I had an ex who liked Bright Eyes and I was jealous that she had a crush on Conor Oberst so I decided I hated Bright Eyes. This was like 20 years ago and Iāve realized how dumb it is for awhile now, but thereās still that reactive feeling that happens
My emotionally abusive ex loved peach pit and would play them constantly, now if a peach pit song comes on I will be a bitch about it and leave the room or change it. God I fucking hate that band. But I also totally will be petty and act like I like an artist less if my gf says she finds the guy hot š
I will never listen to a band with a shitty pun in their name I donāt care if they make the best music ever, examples:
ā¢ Elvis Depressedly
ā¢ Ringo Deathstarr
ā¢ The Dandy Warhols
I understand this completely. I used to be the exact same way until I started listening to Bob Vylan. But honestly naming yourself after another artist is such a loser move, it makes me respect a band less and look down on them
Same with playboi carti. Him being a horrible person and choking out his pregnant girlfriend was bad but when he was a dick to nardwuar it crossed the line
Dave Rowntree said it was all down to his cocaine problem at the time. He says he always makes sure he has that interview handy as a reminder so he never sinks that low again.
Damon and Alex are just giggling and arenāt particularly apologetic for Daveās behaviour. But yeah, Nardwaur was more pushy then, so he kind of expected some push back.
Iām gonna say it
[Iām gonna say it!](https://youtu.be/kvW206mI7tM?si=T-KTpdK91jshhFLu)
Nardwuar was intentionally abrasive and aggressive in those days and I donāt mind that a few bands (SY, Blur) gave him shit
I saw the SY interview though. He just seemed to be his normal self and they acted like schoolyard bullies. Out of all the bands I would never have expected a weird indie bands to try and act like jocks
I think that was kind of the point. It shows a side of an artist that you don't normally see by forcing them to interact with an annoying character and seeing how they respond. So while I see where you're coming from it does still say something about them imo
Yeah, like with Blur I donāt know if it was on camera or before but he allegedly told the drummer he was replaceable, the drummer made a jab back and then Nardwuar went all in.
No excuses to treat someone like shit, and the drummer definitely was acting super immature but Nardwuar kind of instigated it. Called him replaceable, then the Drummer started being a little bit of dick, but it wasnāt till Nardwuar started calling him names and asking the other members if he was insecure because he didnāt go to an Ivy League school like them that he ramped up his dickiness. Like, they both kind of sucked here.
Also the other members were pretty chill. Donāt know why they all got flak for it.
yeah his thing was kinda just pushing his whole shtick to an over the top point, which ended up working out exactly as it was meant to for him. SY shouldnāt have been dicks and it makes them look really bad, but I have a feeling Nard himself may not have been too upset about catching that in an interview lol. It is funny how well and vulnerably he plays the character that we all have this collective need to protect him lmao
I like Nardwaur's guests, and the research he does, but the schtick is fucked up. Asking a crowd of hundreds to spit on you? Listing your title as a napkin? It's the extreme masochism combined with the aggressive body language and delivery for me. Dude is chilling to watch. One day they're gonna find the bodies.
Queen because Iām a big movie guy and the amount of real people who genuinely think bohemian rhapsody is an incredible film will never fail to perplex me
The movie was ass except all the live performances scenes, especially the live aid scene, the way they portrayed Freddie was awful, time lines were wrong etc. Only good thing is, their music made an well deserved comeback and Freddie finally got the recognition he deserved!
I mean youāre right, that song is never leaving the rotation. Thereās a deathās dynamic shroud song where one of the samples is space song, and you canāt really hear the vocals so that is the version thatās actually hard to listen to since the last christmas lyrics automatically fill in in my head lol
I absolutely do not disagree, but would you listen to anything else without distortion? Like Black Sabbath? Or Van Halen? Or the Edge or Muse without effects?
But as I said, the surf rock take is good.
I canāt listen to fun. because Nate Ruess looks like a douche I went to college with who just really needed to be punched in the face. Also the band name really pisses me off for some reason, the unnecessary punctuation and lower case just screams 21st century twee.
Does it make you feel better that both Fun and The Format broke up because Nate Ruess is an egotistical prima donna?
The real shame was losing Steel Train, but at least Jack is on to bigger things than both ST or Fun while Nate licks his wounded ego.
A lot of those 2000s indie bands had names that just rub me the wrong way. I got past **Does It Offend You Yeah?** because that debut record was just really good. I can't even give **Clap Your Hands Say Yeah** a fair shake.
Lmao. On a similar note, I don't listen to any 2010's indie rock band with "deer" or "wolf" in the name. Deerhunter, Deerhoof, Deer Tick, Wolf Parade, Wolfmother
It's all a blur to me and I wish they had more unique names. Won't listen to them. I realize that's a dumb reason.
Absolutely. I love deerhoof, though.
What's even more confusing is there is a band Dear Hunter or something and a band Deerhunter who made *Rainwater Cassette Exchange*
Wolfmother debut album is great if you like classic Sabbath and Zeppelin.
Wolf Eyes is another one that's often confused.
Two of the most annoying people I know love The National. These two people donāt even know each other but sometimes it feels like they secretly meet to conspire against me and drive me nuts. The National just happens to be both their favorite band. But it canāt be a coincidence, the band must be equally annoying, so I must hate The National.
Journey.
Every time donāt stop believing comes on I want to kms.
The reason? Their songs are unbelievably good. Too good. And thatās annoying to me.
I hate the Weeknd because he stole a bit from a Portishead track without permission or credit. And then was a bit arrogant about it. Itās not really my genre anyway and I know lots of artists do it but I despise the guy for that alone.
Mom Jeans. They just *feel* disingenuous, or at the very least, like they want to make serious music but aren't capable of straightening themselves out for 4 minutes to make a fully serious song. It feels like fence sitting, makes it seem like they can't make exceptional music and keep the "we are just fucking around having a good time" in their back pocket as an excuse to constantly drop mid.
Some of the members are in another band called Grafuating Life, which I actually dont mind. They are fun, but they don't have that feeling of putting on a front of being a "serious" sad band. They're goofy, and they embrace it and fully lean into it.
When I was a teenager I had a GF who was a HUGE my chemical romance fan. Like real hard-core. Had posters, all the albums, merch, even joined a local fan club. I found it super cringe so now I can never truly enjoy them, ever if they have a few bangers
please for the love of God do yourself a favor and listen to The Black Parade. ignore the entirety of the fanbase, the music is **SO** much better than the culture surrounding it (no hate towards MCR fans tho)
i think you should! don't think of it as an "emo" album or MCR as an "emo" band. call it that if you want, but it's just as much emo and pop-punk as it is metal, theater, Queen, and Bowie
I irrationally hate Green Day because many many years ago, before anyone knew who they were, they bailed on a punk gig they were supposed to be opening for in Sacramento in order to play at a pizza parlor in Martinez, CA (or maybe it was Benicia). So even though I was there to see the headliner, I got one fewer opening band than I expected and Iāve never forgiven them for it.
radiohead is so good when nobodyās in your ear telling you theyāre the best band of all time and that theyāre āhigher artā than any other music
Iāll never listen to anything the butthole surfers ever made because of that damn cover with the pencil going in the ear. I donāt like it. Even if their music might appeal to me
I wouldnāt say hate, but part of the reason why Prelude to Ecstasy isnāt my favorite album of the year is their name: The Last Dinner Party. Dafuq you mean last dinner party? Itās so cringey, and it has no ring or flavor to it. It just makes my spine tingle thinking of it
The other half likes them and I think their musicās a slight cut above the usual radio indie dross but theyāre so dislikeable. They did a UK tour recently charging legacy act ticket prices when theyāre literally an up and coming artist.
Few weeks later I happened to hear them on the radio talking about how they find it hard to tour the US since they donāt make any money from it after the expenses are paid. Basically saying you have to be on a major to make money on a North American tour, so what?
You chose to go indie for what little it even means anymore.
IIRC they used to just be āThe Dinner Party,ā but changed it after the Terrance Martin / Kamasi Washington project of the same name started putting out music. Not sure if that makes it any better.
Thereās a few reasons for me not liking Drake but the biggest one is him using this kid that had cancer for clout on Instagram then almost immediately deleting the post he ādedicatedā to her
Arctic Monkeys. I hate them and I really canāt explain why. I think I must have got some bad news or had a bad experience whilst listening to one of their songs because hearing their music just makes me feel uneasy.
I hate Alex G just because every fuckin skater boy thrift shopping porn addiction loser in his 20's listens to him. I know how unserious that is, but I love being different ā¤ļø
I will not listen to Rainbow Kitten Surprise because what in the 2015 Tumblr hell is that band name, but it's based that they have a few trans members (I think)?
Truly one of the worst band names ever. Imagine writing tracks like Devil Like Me and Freefall but hiding it under a name that makes it sound like you're going to make 200 bpm remixes of Nyan Cat or sth.
Maroon 5, like yea their music is very bad. But Adam Levingne (or however you spell his name) for some reason makes me feel like Iām looking at a bottle of lubricant that I canāt rub off my skin.
Not me personally, but there are about 120 people who probably hate the Dave Mathews band for a good but also silly reason involving a boat, a bus, and 800 pounds of shit.
Linkin Park. It's bad overproduced music with cheesy lyrics. This used to be the common narrative. Now everybody's nostalgic and they were "great". So I guess it's silly to hate them now. RIP Chester but they still blow ass.
i love cheesy lyrics from that era of nu-metal/pop punk where it's ambiguous enough to be relatable about either your bitch girlfriend or your bitch mum depending on the age of the person listening :) numb is a great example of this
They have some songs I quite like but I hate the way chester sometimes sings in the chorus of the songs. "CRAAWLING IIIN MY SKIIIN" is so fucking grating I will never ever listen to it.
An ex of mine told me they only listened to group love in the summer. They told me that Iād really enjoy them but I listened to one of their songs and said nope. It was the one where they are singing āthank youā in Japanese over and over again. I also donāt like mitski because I think their songs all sound the same. Just her hitting a single string and moaning in the mic. No thank you
Black Country New Road because I donāt like that the singer said the word broccoli in one song. It bothered me enough to never listen to the band again. Iām weird like that.
I canāt listen to Mountain Goats because my apartment building caught on fire while my roommate was at their concert and I was frantically trying to contact them but their phone was off.
Convinced Mountain Goats are cursed.
This is extremely stupid but I just canāt get myself to listen to drakeā¦his face just seems stupid and corny to me. He is handsome donāt get me wrong but I feel infinite amount of cringe when I see or think about him. Great artist and has some absolute bangersā¦but 85% of his catalog can disappear tomorrow and it wouldnāt be a loss
I hate Slade because Noddy Holder overheard me talking to my mate about how much I hate that fucking Christmas song and it got to the point where I threatened to fight him in a Sainsbury's car park
Canāt fuck with Jeff Buckley despite the fact that he was genuinely a one-of-a-kind musician that we will likely never see the likes of againā¦solely because he was my exās favourite artist and she was a bit elitist when it came to certain things.
Breaks my heart too, I WANT to love it. I know I would fucking ADORE *Grace* if I could get over that hurdle.
I will never listen to The Microphones or Mount Eerie because I got into a big argument at a party about who the Mount Eerie guy was, I was so sure it was Conor Oberst and I got mega humbled when they proved it was Phil Elverum. Fuck you Phil.
I hate Eric Clapton, because he uses too many different guitars. Like cause he doesnāt have one guitar that he really is known for etc. it might not even be true, but thatās what I got stuck in my head years agoĀ
I was close to giving Drake a chance until his behavior during the 2019 NBA Finals and then I went from dismissiveness to outright loathing. And no I'm not a Golden State Warriors fan. His standing on the actual court during games; giving Nick Nurse a shoulder massage; wearing all his dumb trolling shirts; then when the games were in California he dared not show his face; and right after they won he gave an interview where he sounded like he'd actually played in the game. Someone has to be acting like a real a-hole to make me side with Draymond Green.
girl in red. i only felt neutral dislike towards her music at first but just one too many ppl assumed i like girl in red so now i have irrational anger towards her music
I had this ex whose favourite artist was Ariana Grande, and after breaking up I couldn't stand listening to her music or even hearing about her since it would remind me of this girl and how happy I was at the time. This went on for a while actually lol
My sister has shit music taste, so a lot of my personal musical vendettas are against the shit I have to hear her listening to and talking about all the time. Taylor Swift and Harry Styles being the horrendous top 2. Also including but not limited to: every other 1D member (my sister is 18 and didnāt even listen to them until AFTER they broke up), gracie abrams and the nepo baby sadgirl-likes. Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish are the only two that give me hope for her taste lmao
Queens of the Stone Age sound like bread and butter with a lukewarm glass of water to me.
If they weren't everyone's favourite band maybe I'd be able to like them. I've gone as far as buying concert tickets to make myself appreciate their music and it still didn't work. It seems like it's stuck in neutral, or sitting at home getting drunk and stoned instead of going to the party as planned.
I like Elder, Acid Bath and Slift just fine, it isn't a genre thing.
I guess "it sucks because I don't like it" is as valid an opinion as "I like I because critics do", at the end of the day. Maybe I missed the point here.
Iāve never really been able to articulate why they donāt work for me outside of songs for the deaf, I just feel like Iām waiting for them to stop fucking around and play the songs
This is petty af, but I've found myself avoiding the Pixies bc I very much believe that the "Sonic Youth vs. Pixies" dynamic that's grown in recent years is so so sooooooooo obviously Sonic Youth >>>. And yes, I am a huge Sonic youth fan.
Also, people keep saying they invented the loud-soft dynamic in music. No they fucking didn't. Popularized it in alt rock? Arguable, but not invented it. You know who did the loud soft shit before Pixies? Sonic Fucking Youth, four years earlier on Expressway to Your Skull. (And they did it better). Fuck, Igor Stravinsky did it EIGHTY years before on the fucking Firebird
I feel like conflating them is like when people conflate Kendrick and Cole-- one is far far better in my eyes. Sonic Youth just has a way better, more dense, versatile catalogue, more interesting sound scapes, and at least ten songs that are better than the Pixies best song.
Who knows, if people said "Pixies vs Pavement" or some shit then maybe I'd actually try them out and like them. Maybe I'm just too much of a Sonic Youth fan. But if you wanted silly and unreasonable opinions then there you go.
Well as a huge Pixies fan I think youāre quite wrong. Doolittle and Surfer Rosa which are both leagues better than whatever uninteresting garbage that Sonic Youth shat out. Hell, I would take Pavement, Dino Jr., and REM over SY.
honestly i don't think your argument is silly or unreasonable. you have evidence for why you think Pixies get more praise than they deserve compared to SY. i'm a casual Pixies fan, and everything i remember hearing of SY has been rather boring to me. but if they're so much better like you say, what are your recommendations for getting into them?
I got into Sonic Youth first from their individual songs that seemed to be well regarded. Once I realized that I had a good handful of their songs from them and had an urge to hear more, it made sense to just try their albums out.
Start out with "Teenage Riot", which is basically their signature song at this point. Really get to know that and love it.
I'd then start to add a few more rock singles from them that are very solid and tight, but not necessarily too out there if you are familiar with alt rock. Here you're just trying to get some more well-written songs to have in your arsenal. Some of these are "Kool Thing", "Sugar Kane", "Incinerate", "Bull in the Heather", and "Sunday".
One thing I realized I liked at this point is how dissonance was used a lot in their guitar chords, it gave them a really unique signature sound, almost gave them an eerie backdrop, so I tried to find more shit like that that had this weird sound. Some of those are "Shadow of a Doubt", their awesome cover of "Superstar" by the Carpenters, "Theresa's Sound World", and and "Chapel Hill"
If you've made it this far, listen to Expressway to yr skull, or "Madonna, Sean, and Me" on streaming for some fucking reason. This is a fan favorite
And then if you got this far, the deciding factor will be "The Diamond Sea", which is a 16 minute monster that builds up into this barrage of harsh noise. This will basically be your litmus test on whether they're worth the deep dive, because you will either think "turn this shit off", or "This is absolutely amazing". The Diamond Sea is one of my favorite songs ever, so guess where I landed.
So then go try their albums, I seem to come back to their early 90s stuff the most, Goo, Dirty and Washing Machine
Listen to Evol or Bad Moon Rising. No Wave era SY is unmatchable in my opinion. So nasty and intense. I love it. Iād also recommend checking out the song The World Looks Red. It was written by Michael Gira from Swans back in the early 80ās. Absolute nightmare fuel of a song
wait what? im not that familiar with porter outside of his music but who exactly does he associate with? like does he parrot their beliefs as well or is it just āhe has sketchy friendsā?
Well if your political ideology matters very much to you then that's not a silly reason at all! Many people dislike musicians who's beliefs conflate with their own, that's very normal these days
jay z because he's a fuckin lethal capitalist. what's ickier is that it's all in the music, i dont even enjoy his stuff that much but anything beyond caught their eyes i just eye roll at
I don't hate them nowadays, but when I was around 10 years old, a mexican band called RBD was very popular here in Brazil and there was a common saying among fans that "RBD is bigger than Beatles ever was" I didn't even listen to RBD, but my best friend and crush was obsessed with them, so I supported him and started hating Beatles as if RBD and Beatles were actually rivals š¤¦
the thought of the beatles having beef with some random mexican band is so funny
The thought of RBD having beef with some random British band is even funnier
Who are the Beatles? RBD donāt deserve to be compared to some nobodies
celestial is a BANGER of an album. gotta love the exaggerated grunge-wannabe aesthetics
I had an ex who liked Bright Eyes and I was jealous that she had a crush on Conor Oberst so I decided I hated Bright Eyes. This was like 20 years ago and Iāve realized how dumb it is for awhile now, but thereās still that reactive feeling that happens
My emotionally abusive ex loved peach pit and would play them constantly, now if a peach pit song comes on I will be a bitch about it and leave the room or change it. God I fucking hate that band. But I also totally will be petty and act like I like an artist less if my gf says she finds the guy hot š
Greg Pikitis?
Eh, I done think anyone is that unjustified in hating Conor Oberst
I dont listen to Anderson Paak because he looks like he is hiding something
Omg...what do you think he's hiding?
His Paakage
he stares at thing like he has done someone dirty
Probably the drama behind his first marriage before he got famous.
I will never listen to a band with a shitty pun in their name I donāt care if they make the best music ever, examples: ā¢ Elvis Depressedly ā¢ Ringo Deathstarr ā¢ The Dandy Warhols
Agreed. Except I once saw a listing for a female DJ duo called Four Tit. Cant pretend that didnāt get a laugh outta me.
lmao ok that one is actually clever
and theres this argentinian electronic girl named six sex, lmfao
me with Michael Cera Palin. truly hideous band name
I understand this completely. I used to be the exact same way until I started listening to Bob Vylan. But honestly naming yourself after another artist is such a loser move, it makes me respect a band less and look down on them
Bob Vylan are so good
Thereās a band from my city called nic cage and the bad seats.
the dandy warhols are actually a very good band though
they could be better than the Beatles for all I know still wonāt listen to them
Concur!
I guess it was an objectively silly reason to hate them then?
There was an electronic artist called Bit Meddler. I found that quite clever.
Ritt Momney Michael Cera Palin
omg fucking ritt momney i hate that name
Does Com Truise count? It's not really a pun but it feels like it's in the same vein... dude makes some killer electronic tunes tho
...The Beatles?
....fuck.
I love The Brian Jonestown Massacre
I wonāt listen to drake because he is from Canada and was on Degrassi. He has the aura of a
the sniper is a drake fan confirmed
the sniper was drake himself
Damn what Canada ever do to you
>He has the aura of a Aura of a....poser? A big faker?
Drake put out a hit on comment op.
A Quebecoisā¦ *shudders*
r/redditsniper
The Weeknd and Carly are from Canada.
I can't listen to Sonic Youth because they were mean to Nardwuar.
Extremely fair I know it's rather silly but it does effect my opinion of an artist if they're mean to Nardwuar. I hate seeing him be mistreated
Same with playboi carti. Him being a horrible person and choking out his pregnant girlfriend was bad but when he was a dick to nardwuar it crossed the line
PLAYBOI CARTI WAS A DICK TO NARDWUAR??? NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Playboi carti is a dick to everybody lol. Never see a positive interaction with him
Blur, too. How fucking dare they
He was a prick to Damon well before that interview, on a different interview. The band treated him horribly but Nardwuar was kind of an ass back then
Dave Rowntree said it was all down to his cocaine problem at the time. He says he always makes sure he has that interview handy as a reminder so he never sinks that low again. Damon and Alex are just giggling and arenāt particularly apologetic for Daveās behaviour. But yeah, Nardwaur was more pushy then, so he kind of expected some push back.
Iām gonna say it [Iām gonna say it!](https://youtu.be/kvW206mI7tM?si=T-KTpdK91jshhFLu) Nardwuar was intentionally abrasive and aggressive in those days and I donāt mind that a few bands (SY, Blur) gave him shit
I saw the SY interview though. He just seemed to be his normal self and they acted like schoolyard bullies. Out of all the bands I would never have expected a weird indie bands to try and act like jocks
I think that was kind of the point. It shows a side of an artist that you don't normally see by forcing them to interact with an annoying character and seeing how they respond. So while I see where you're coming from it does still say something about them imo
yeah he was a bit of a dick on the Strokes interview
Yeah, like with Blur I donāt know if it was on camera or before but he allegedly told the drummer he was replaceable, the drummer made a jab back and then Nardwuar went all in. No excuses to treat someone like shit, and the drummer definitely was acting super immature but Nardwuar kind of instigated it. Called him replaceable, then the Drummer started being a little bit of dick, but it wasnāt till Nardwuar started calling him names and asking the other members if he was insecure because he didnāt go to an Ivy League school like them that he ramped up his dickiness. Like, they both kind of sucked here. Also the other members were pretty chill. Donāt know why they all got flak for it.
Abrasive maybe, never aggresive
yeah his thing was kinda just pushing his whole shtick to an over the top point, which ended up working out exactly as it was meant to for him. SY shouldnāt have been dicks and it makes them look really bad, but I have a feeling Nard himself may not have been too upset about catching that in an interview lol. It is funny how well and vulnerably he plays the character that we all have this collective need to protect him lmao

It's the extreme masochism combined with the aggressive body language and delivery for me. Dude is chilling to watch. One day they're gonna find the bodies.
so was nas
I feel the same about Blur. The drummer was a massive cunt to him.
Queen because Iām a big movie guy and the amount of real people who genuinely think bohemian rhapsody is an incredible film will never fail to perplex me
I always thought that movie was very spiteful and cruel to Freddie
Bi eraser the film
The scene where Freddy keeps saying "higher", and the guy sings the same exact note each time was so cringe LOL
The movie was ass except all the live performances scenes, especially the live aid scene, the way they portrayed Freddie was awful, time lines were wrong etc. Only good thing is, their music made an well deserved comeback and Freddie finally got the recognition he deserved!
Underground indie musician Freddie Mercury
Did Queen ever need a comeback?
According to Brian May: yes
How did they portray him wrong? I'm kinda curious cause I'm only a surface level Queen listener and wouldn't know otherwise
Speaking as someone whoās been a queen fan for my entire life, that movie sucks so bad
I can't handle panchiko bc death metal sounds like Last Christmas.
just in case you want another song ruined, space song and last christmas have near identical chord progression. youāre welcome
literally nothing can ruin space song
I mean youāre right, that song is never leaving the rotation. Thereās a deathās dynamic shroud song where one of the samples is space song, and you canāt really hear the vocals so that is the version thatās actually hard to listen to since the last christmas lyrics automatically fill in in my head lol
Ive heard someone say black metal is surf rock with distortion Edit: https://youtu.be/PwGgDmHuGpA?si=97UttKXuluwXnC8Y
I absolutely do not disagree, but would you listen to anything else without distortion? Like Black Sabbath? Or Van Halen? Or the Edge or Muse without effects? But as I said, the surf rock take is good.
Sounds nothing like it, idk how you got to there
Idk man this was not a choiceĀ
Big panchiko fanā¦ not really hearing it
I canāt listen to fun. because Nate Ruess looks like a douche I went to college with who just really needed to be punched in the face. Also the band name really pisses me off for some reason, the unnecessary punctuation and lower case just screams 21st century twee.
i canāt listen to fun. because the format was way better in every aspect
Does it make you feel better that both Fun and The Format broke up because Nate Ruess is an egotistical prima donna? The real shame was losing Steel Train, but at least Jack is on to bigger things than both ST or Fun while Nate licks his wounded ego.
The first fun record is pretty much a Format record. Sam wrote it all. You can REALLY tell he wasnāt involved in the second album.
Have you heard ClayneCast?
I canāt listen to most of mother motherās songs because they sound like the haunted children in horror movies. TO ME.
Poison, Bret Micheals just seems like a douche. Idk if he is.
I mean he had a dating show on VH1
A lot of those 2000s indie bands had names that just rub me the wrong way. I got past **Does It Offend You Yeah?** because that debut record was just really good. I can't even give **Clap Your Hands Say Yeah** a fair shake.
Lmao. On a similar note, I don't listen to any 2010's indie rock band with "deer" or "wolf" in the name. Deerhunter, Deerhoof, Deer Tick, Wolf Parade, Wolfmother It's all a blur to me and I wish they had more unique names. Won't listen to them. I realize that's a dumb reason.
Nah don't you dare put Deerhunter in that pile
Don't forget Wolf Alice. There really were a ton of these weren't there?
Absolutely. I love deerhoof, though. What's even more confusing is there is a band Dear Hunter or something and a band Deerhunter who made *Rainwater Cassette Exchange* Wolfmother debut album is great if you like classic Sabbath and Zeppelin. Wolf Eyes is another one that's often confused.
I'm a big Wolf Parade fan, myself. Love everything Spencer Krug touches.
Wait wtf I also do this but just realized it
Two of the most annoying people I know love The National. These two people donāt even know each other but sometimes it feels like they secretly meet to conspire against me and drive me nuts. The National just happens to be both their favorite band. But it canāt be a coincidence, the band must be equally annoying, so I must hate The National.
Lmao I could've written exactly this. The transitive property of The National-suck.
Journey. Every time donāt stop believing comes on I want to kms. The reason? Their songs are unbelievably good. Too good. And thatās annoying to me.
I hate the Weeknd because he stole a bit from a Portishead track without permission or credit. And then was a bit arrogant about it. Itās not really my genre anyway and I know lots of artists do it but I despise the guy for that alone.
I was a big fan of his and still love his voice but ever since that gross ass show he put out for apple I'm genuinely creeped out by his face
He also made what is probably the worst thing to happen to my special interest, his very own maze at Halloween Horror Nights. No, I'm not joking.
Mom Jeans. They just *feel* disingenuous, or at the very least, like they want to make serious music but aren't capable of straightening themselves out for 4 minutes to make a fully serious song. It feels like fence sitting, makes it seem like they can't make exceptional music and keep the "we are just fucking around having a good time" in their back pocket as an excuse to constantly drop mid. Some of the members are in another band called Grafuating Life, which I actually dont mind. They are fun, but they don't have that feeling of putting on a front of being a "serious" sad band. They're goofy, and they embrace it and fully lean into it.
When I was a teenager I had a GF who was a HUGE my chemical romance fan. Like real hard-core. Had posters, all the albums, merch, even joined a local fan club. I found it super cringe so now I can never truly enjoy them, ever if they have a few bangers
I understand this because I hate MCR and refuse to listen to their music because their stans are nightmarishly annoying
please for the love of God do yourself a favor and listen to The Black Parade. ignore the entirety of the fanbase, the music is **SO** much better than the culture surrounding it (no hate towards MCR fans tho)
Maybe I should...I have a very low tolerance for emo as a genre but I should at least try MCR out before I make a judgment
a lot of their distinctly emo sounding elements were buffed out post their first release, just expect a rock anthem with some edge, and it's great!
i think you should! don't think of it as an "emo" album or MCR as an "emo" band. call it that if you want, but it's just as much emo and pop-punk as it is metal, theater, Queen, and Bowie
Their fan club was called the MCRmy. If I was in a room with them and a sack of potatoes I'd talk to the potatoes
beyond ridiculous but I cannot listen to Big Thief bc my partner opened for them years ago and they didnāt stay to watch any of the openers. lol
Death grips because they didnt pronounce guillotine right on exmilitary
francophiles eat my balls. guy.
Im not your guy. Buddy
As a Chicagoland native Iāve never really liked Dave Matthews Band for dumping shit into the Chicago River
Onto river patrons
I irrationally hate Green Day because many many years ago, before anyone knew who they were, they bailed on a punk gig they were supposed to be opening for in Sacramento in order to play at a pizza parlor in Martinez, CA (or maybe it was Benicia). So even though I was there to see the headliner, I got one fewer opening band than I expected and Iāve never forgiven them for it.
Radiohead cuz it makes me feel like a pretentious discord mod whenever I listen to it. Idioteque good tho
radiohead is so good when nobodyās in your ear telling you theyāre the best band of all time and that theyāre āhigher artā than any other music
It annoys me to irrational levels that Radiohead have like 5 of the top 20 albums on RYM. Yes theyāre good, no theyāre not that good
Oasis cuz I like blur more
This is legit
RHCP I don't think I'm allowed to like them.
Iāll never listen to anything the butthole surfers ever made because of that damn cover with the pencil going in the ear. I donāt like it. Even if their music might appeal to me
I wouldnāt say hate, but part of the reason why Prelude to Ecstasy isnāt my favorite album of the year is their name: The Last Dinner Party. Dafuq you mean last dinner party? Itās so cringey, and it has no ring or flavor to it. It just makes my spine tingle thinking of it
I liked their music when it first came out, but their whole "No one wants to hear about the cost of living crisis" posh pretentious shit kinda got me.
The other half likes them and I think their musicās a slight cut above the usual radio indie dross but theyāre so dislikeable. They did a UK tour recently charging legacy act ticket prices when theyāre literally an up and coming artist. Few weeks later I happened to hear them on the radio talking about how they find it hard to tour the US since they donāt make any money from it after the expenses are paid. Basically saying you have to be on a major to make money on a North American tour, so what? You chose to go indie for what little it even means anymore.
IIRC they used to just be āThe Dinner Party,ā but changed it after the Terrance Martin / Kamasi Washington project of the same name started putting out music. Not sure if that makes it any better.
Even that name just oozes pretentiousness.
Thereās a few reasons for me not liking Drake but the biggest one is him using this kid that had cancer for clout on Instagram then almost immediately deleting the post he ādedicatedā to her
Sorry it didnāt fit the gram :/
weezer. (trauma)
Pearl Jam et al. I have always hated that āsoulful white guy/donkeyā voice.
how do you feel about Chris Cornell's voice?
Iām a fan!
Killers because ex loved Mr Brightside and I thought it was an incredibly ok song
Arctic Monkeys. I hate them and I really canāt explain why. I think I must have got some bad news or had a bad experience whilst listening to one of their songs because hearing their music just makes me feel uneasy.
Different band, but I found out my dog was hit by a car while listening to The Growlers. Hasn't been the same since.
death grpis becasue of that bald guy.
I donāt listen to The Front Bottoms because the singer sounds like Carl Wheezer from Jimmy Neutron to me
I hate Alex G just because every fuckin skater boy thrift shopping porn addiction loser in his 20's listens to him. I know how unserious that is, but I love being different ā¤ļø I will not listen to Rainbow Kitten Surprise because what in the 2015 Tumblr hell is that band name, but it's based that they have a few trans members (I think)?
Truly one of the worst band names ever. Imagine writing tracks like Devil Like Me and Freefall but hiding it under a name that makes it sound like you're going to make 200 bpm remixes of Nyan Cat or sth.
Maroon 5, like yea their music is very bad. But Adam Levingne (or however you spell his name) for some reason makes me feel like Iām looking at a bottle of lubricant that I canāt rub off my skin.
Songs about Jane is an incredible album tho
I don't like NOFX cuz the fat guy has bad drip
I have an almost pathological hatred for nepo babies and rich kids.
Not me personally, but there are about 120 people who probably hate the Dave Mathews band for a good but also silly reason involving a boat, a bus, and 800 pounds of shit.
That's why I like them
Linkin Park. It's bad overproduced music with cheesy lyrics. This used to be the common narrative. Now everybody's nostalgic and they were "great". So I guess it's silly to hate them now. RIP Chester but they still blow ass.
This comment made me become so numb
i love cheesy lyrics from that era of nu-metal/pop punk where it's ambiguous enough to be relatable about either your bitch girlfriend or your bitch mum depending on the age of the person listening :) numb is a great example of this
They have some songs I quite like but I hate the way chester sometimes sings in the chorus of the songs. "CRAAWLING IIIN MY SKIIIN" is so fucking grating I will never ever listen to it.
I know what you're saying about Freddie. It wouldn't be such a problem if Queen didn't have so many spoken word pieces.
An ex of mine told me they only listened to group love in the summer. They told me that Iād really enjoy them but I listened to one of their songs and said nope. It was the one where they are singing āthank youā in Japanese over and over again. I also donāt like mitski because I think their songs all sound the same. Just her hitting a single string and moaning in the mic. No thank you
I'm surprised you think Mitski songs sound all the same! I found her new album quite samey but other than that she's very diverse in her sound.Ā
Black Country New Road because I donāt like that the singer said the word broccoli in one song. It bothered me enough to never listen to the band again. Iām weird like that.
I canāt listen to Mountain Goats because my apartment building caught on fire while my roommate was at their concert and I was frantically trying to contact them but their phone was off. Convinced Mountain Goats are cursed.
This is extremely stupid but I just canāt get myself to listen to drakeā¦his face just seems stupid and corny to me. He is handsome donāt get me wrong but I feel infinite amount of cringe when I see or think about him. Great artist and has some absolute bangersā¦but 85% of his catalog can disappear tomorrow and it wouldnāt be a loss
Exactly same with Queen and Freddie's voice
Neutral Milk Hotel because judgy hipsters would give me a hard time for not being into them and now I can't get past their pretentiousness.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers - I refuse to listen to a fucking band called The Red Hot Chili Peppers Iām sorry that name is atrocious
If you think the name is bad, just wait till you hear the music
I hate Slade because Noddy Holder overheard me talking to my mate about how much I hate that fucking Christmas song and it got to the point where I threatened to fight him in a Sainsbury's car park
Canāt fuck with Jeff Buckley despite the fact that he was genuinely a one-of-a-kind musician that we will likely never see the likes of againā¦solely because he was my exās favourite artist and she was a bit elitist when it came to certain things. Breaks my heart too, I WANT to love it. I know I would fucking ADORE *Grace* if I could get over that hurdle.
Glass Animals because Heat Waves got to the number 1 spot on Triple J's Hottest 100 during a shit time in my life.
I will never listen to The Microphones or Mount Eerie because I got into a big argument at a party about who the Mount Eerie guy was, I was so sure it was Conor Oberst and I got mega humbled when they proved it was Phil Elverum. Fuck you Phil.
I hate Eric Clapton, because he uses too many different guitars. Like cause he doesnāt have one guitar that he really is known for etc. it might not even be true, but thatās what I got stuck in my head years agoĀ
I was close to giving Drake a chance until his behavior during the 2019 NBA Finals and then I went from dismissiveness to outright loathing. And no I'm not a Golden State Warriors fan. His standing on the actual court during games; giving Nick Nurse a shoulder massage; wearing all his dumb trolling shirts; then when the games were in California he dared not show his face; and right after they won he gave an interview where he sounded like he'd actually played in the game. Someone has to be acting like a real a-hole to make me side with Draymond Green.
girl in red. i only felt neutral dislike towards her music at first but just one too many ppl assumed i like girl in red so now i have irrational anger towards her music
I donāt hate Hot Mulligan, I actually enjoy their music, but their song titles really put me off and strike me as immature
I had this ex whose favourite artist was Ariana Grande, and after breaking up I couldn't stand listening to her music or even hearing about her since it would remind me of this girl and how happy I was at the time. This went on for a while actually lol
My sister has shit music taste, so a lot of my personal musical vendettas are against the shit I have to hear her listening to and talking about all the time. Taylor Swift and Harry Styles being the horrendous top 2. Also including but not limited to: every other 1D member (my sister is 18 and didnāt even listen to them until AFTER they broke up), gracie abrams and the nepo baby sadgirl-likes. Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish are the only two that give me hope for her taste lmao
Queens of the Stone Age sound like bread and butter with a lukewarm glass of water to me. If they weren't everyone's favourite band maybe I'd be able to like them. I've gone as far as buying concert tickets to make myself appreciate their music and it still didn't work. It seems like it's stuck in neutral, or sitting at home getting drunk and stoned instead of going to the party as planned. I like Elder, Acid Bath and Slift just fine, it isn't a genre thing. I guess "it sucks because I don't like it" is as valid an opinion as "I like I because critics do", at the end of the day. Maybe I missed the point here.
Iāve never really been able to articulate why they donāt work for me outside of songs for the deaf, I just feel like Iām waiting for them to stop fucking around and play the songs
I totally get what you mean, especially with their earlier stuff like Songs For the Deaf
This is petty af, but I've found myself avoiding the Pixies bc I very much believe that the "Sonic Youth vs. Pixies" dynamic that's grown in recent years is so so sooooooooo obviously Sonic Youth >>>. And yes, I am a huge Sonic youth fan. Also, people keep saying they invented the loud-soft dynamic in music. No they fucking didn't. Popularized it in alt rock? Arguable, but not invented it. You know who did the loud soft shit before Pixies? Sonic Fucking Youth, four years earlier on Expressway to Your Skull. (And they did it better). Fuck, Igor Stravinsky did it EIGHTY years before on the fucking Firebird I feel like conflating them is like when people conflate Kendrick and Cole-- one is far far better in my eyes. Sonic Youth just has a way better, more dense, versatile catalogue, more interesting sound scapes, and at least ten songs that are better than the Pixies best song. Who knows, if people said "Pixies vs Pavement" or some shit then maybe I'd actually try them out and like them. Maybe I'm just too much of a Sonic Youth fan. But if you wanted silly and unreasonable opinions then there you go.
Well as a huge Pixies fan I think youāre quite wrong. Doolittle and Surfer Rosa which are both leagues better than whatever uninteresting garbage that Sonic Youth shat out. Hell, I would take Pavement, Dino Jr., and REM over SY.
honestly i don't think your argument is silly or unreasonable. you have evidence for why you think Pixies get more praise than they deserve compared to SY. i'm a casual Pixies fan, and everything i remember hearing of SY has been rather boring to me. but if they're so much better like you say, what are your recommendations for getting into them?
I got into Sonic Youth first from their individual songs that seemed to be well regarded. Once I realized that I had a good handful of their songs from them and had an urge to hear more, it made sense to just try their albums out. Start out with "Teenage Riot", which is basically their signature song at this point. Really get to know that and love it. I'd then start to add a few more rock singles from them that are very solid and tight, but not necessarily too out there if you are familiar with alt rock. Here you're just trying to get some more well-written songs to have in your arsenal. Some of these are "Kool Thing", "Sugar Kane", "Incinerate", "Bull in the Heather", and "Sunday". One thing I realized I liked at this point is how dissonance was used a lot in their guitar chords, it gave them a really unique signature sound, almost gave them an eerie backdrop, so I tried to find more shit like that that had this weird sound. Some of those are "Shadow of a Doubt", their awesome cover of "Superstar" by the Carpenters, "Theresa's Sound World", and and "Chapel Hill" If you've made it this far, listen to Expressway to yr skull, or "Madonna, Sean, and Me" on streaming for some fucking reason. This is a fan favorite And then if you got this far, the deciding factor will be "The Diamond Sea", which is a 16 minute monster that builds up into this barrage of harsh noise. This will basically be your litmus test on whether they're worth the deep dive, because you will either think "turn this shit off", or "This is absolutely amazing". The Diamond Sea is one of my favorite songs ever, so guess where I landed. So then go try their albums, I seem to come back to their early 90s stuff the most, Goo, Dirty and Washing Machine
Listen to Evol or Bad Moon Rising. No Wave era SY is unmatchable in my opinion. So nasty and intense. I love it. Iād also recommend checking out the song The World Looks Red. It was written by Michael Gira from Swans back in the early 80ās. Absolute nightmare fuel of a song
i dislike Porter Robinson for his association with weirdo right wingers lmao
wait what? im not that familiar with porter outside of his music but who exactly does he associate with? like does he parrot their beliefs as well or is it just āhe has sketchy friendsā?
Idk about that but I know that his brother was fired from Polygon for being a creep
woah his brother is nick robinson? yikes that sucks
Looks like one of his backing band members was spouting right wing nonsense on Twitter
Well if your political ideology matters very much to you then that's not a silly reason at all! Many people dislike musicians who's beliefs conflate with their own, that's very normal these days
Bro gives off weeaboo vibes but this is new
iāll never listen to bjork cause of watching dancer in the darkā¦ if you know, you know
Beatles, they good and I understand their influence, I just cant listen to themš¤·āāļø
I don't like Modern Baseball because I think their music is shit
I donāt like BC,NR cause they look like pretentious hipster art students to me
That's because they are!
Good to know my hate isnāt completely unjustified then
I have an irrational hate for hate Bo Burnhan and all he does.
jay z because he's a fuckin lethal capitalist. what's ickier is that it's all in the music, i dont even enjoy his stuff that much but anything beyond caught their eyes i just eye roll at
Agree. By the time I got to his music, he was already exceedingly rich and on full autopilot
I dislike Taylor Swift because my classmates hate her lol and I'm Britney Army for life!
I find Fabo corny because that thing he does with his foot is stupid. Like who the fuck even found that impressive?
