Do people unironically listen to these musicians?

[Skitarii]

Prince, pink floyd, blink 182, maroon five, ja rule, carti and limp bizkit. Who was this music made for?

 

[Starved Artist]

Carti is the only one up there that hasn't put out a certified " I'll be listening to this in 10 years" song.
I may not like Pink Floyd but a lot of their songs are pretty damn good. Ja Rule is only good depending on whoever he's working with . His solo albums , fuck. His duets and cross work with other producers? Those are Golden.

 

[Table Country]

Nigger you can say what you want about Pink Floyd but it's not fair to lump them in with Carti and Limp Bizkit.

 

[Free Steaks!]

Can't speak for most of the acts you have listed there, but Pink Floyd were very inventive. Roger Waters is by and large a psychopath and it lent itself to some interesting ideas. David Gilmour is also an excellent guitarist with an uncanny ability to write melodic vocals and solos.

Richard Wright and Nick Mason were pretty much disposable though.

 

[Phalanges Mycologist]

I think it's that some of them have produced timeless ear worms, not in terms of quality but in that they male a sound thats easy to get stuck in your head.

With Pink Floyd, I think it's mostly just longevity and kids wanting to sound cool by listening to them and they have been around long enough they have become retro twice with teens. They did have a way with some of there music making it appeal to a lot of "counter culture" revolving cycle imageary and it's just open to interpretation and wacky enough for it to find a audience, not that I think they are good it's just a thing I've picked up on seeing them rise when I was in my teens fall in my 20's and rise again and they where a old band in my teens.

 

[snailslime]

uh yeah

 

[Jack Awful]

pink floyd

Nice bait

 

[Stabmaster Arson]

Every one of those musicians stole their sound from the black man. Especially Ja Rule.

 

[TFT-A9]

Who was this music made for?

Me. Only me. None of you are allowed to listen to them. They're mine.

I've heard of black on black crime but this is ridiculous!

That's a pretty eclectic assortment there.

- Limp Bizket was actually pretty well known for having a guitarist who was way too good for the band, and Fred Durst seems to not take himself too seriously. They named a garbage dump after him and he was all for it. He'll licensed the band's music to videogames in exchange for nothing but being allowed to appear in the shitty game. He made The Fanatic, John Travolta's best movie. What the fuck did Pink Floyd make, The Wall? Get outta here with that trash.
Trivia: you know limp biscuit is a game where a bunch of guys stand around and jerk off on a biscuit and the last guy to finish has to eat it? Now you do.

- Prince was kind of a fag, but he was like 5'2". Dude made do with what he had. Plus if Charlie Murphy was being honest he's pretty good at basketball, and he's actually a very good guitarist. Also, keep in mind he did everything himself, he's like Trent Reznor in that on recordings he plays every single instrument and does (well, did) most of the mixing himself. He gave hope to manlets everywhere that they could get laid if they had enough style.

- Blink 182 was another one where they didn't seem to take themselves too seriously. They all seem to be fairly competent musicians in their own right, and the one has the bravery to be a UFO freak. That's a pretty original post-career grift.

- Ja Rule helped make fyre festival happen, which tortured and ripped off countless clueless yuppies. Enough said.

As for Pink Floyd and Maroon 5 though, I don't know why anyone listens to them. Pink Floyd is British, none of them are especially talented, and the absolute fucking sellouts try to claim Comfortably Numb isn't about shooting heroin and that they, in fact, never even did drugs! That's marketable, right?! Fuck Pink Floyd. I don't know who Carti is.

uh yeah

As if you'd know snool. The only thing women listen to is the same 3 songs on repeat 24/7, everyone knows that.

And heat hot chip and lie.

The only one I ask myself “who actually listens to this” is Maroon 5, all the others have an audience even if they’re not my thing, Maroon 5 just makes music for the hot adult contemporary stations they play in the background of stores at this point. Like they’re not rock enough to be a rock band, they’re not young and cool enough to be pop stars, idk.

 

[Idiot Doom Spiral]

You should have had Captain Beefheart on that list. Completely unlistenable, pretentious wank. Anyone that tries to tell you that Trout Mask Replica is a ‘good album’ is by default an arch-cunt of unfathomable proportions.

Pink Floyd aren’t too far behind, but one admittedly has to acknowledge some of their pioneering work.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

Who was this music made for?

No one except for people that think Fred Durst is pretentious

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

Jack Harlow seems astroturfed as hell. I had no knowledge of him prior to "Industry Baby" (he just features in it), yet suddenly he's getting name meals at KFC and doing the call to the post at the Kentucky Derby. His song on AT40 right now is not even mid. How can you listen to "First Class" and think it's fire unironically? It's dogshit.

Yes I know music is subjective.

Methinks it has something to do with him whining about muh white privilege.

 

[CarlosDanger]

I love the David Gilmour era of Pink Floyd.

 

[Alex Hogendorp]

Pink Floyd is pretty much only remembered for their pioneering works in the 1970s, I honestly don't remember much of Pink Floyd's works after that though I do own Roger Water's "Is The The World We Really Want" which seems tone-deaf. Maroon 5 is definitely comparable to bands like One Direction and Imagine Dragons, especially their newer songs. Songs so safe and corporate and never challenge anyone's perspective. Songs with no meaning other than serving as the soundtrack to the meaningless corporate world which is common trend with Modern Pop nowadays. I basically find this the lowest common denominator of music and having something like Kid Bop cover them is only bittersweet. The older tracks of Maroon 5 seem a little interesting being that this band did seem to have potential but has all been wasted to appeal to the masses who like watered down corporate music that makes Chicago look like Radiohead in comparison.

 

[AnOminous]

I love the David Gilmour era of Pink Floyd.

I never really did although it did have its moments. My favorite eras would be the Barrett era, and the mid-Waters era. The band kind of flailed in Saucerful of Secrets because they were still figuring out what to do. The middle period, I think, probably ended around the time of The Wall and its seriously flawed soundtrack. And then we entered the period of PF basically being the Roger Waters Personal Angst Band.

It isn't even really the focus on Waters himself that bugged me but the Wall was disjointed and incoherent.

I actually liked a lot of The Final Cut, though.

Agreed, apart from his first album. It's from before he went up his own arse.
