What are some of your "warning sign" bands? - When you hear someone says they like X band then it's time to ask for the check.

Joanna Newsom: It's a shame that this woman's music is so underlooked
"Underlooked"? More like grossly overrated.

Joanna Newsom is a dollar store Tori Amos who sings like a cat being strangled. Popular with basic bitches who LARP as free spirits by eschewing deodorant and deciding to dress like they've been rummaging through Stevie Nicks' trash. Middle aged Tori Amos fans suffering from moderate to severe hearing loss seem to like her too.
 
No one has ever told me they liked Tom Cardy. I tell me they "fucking LOVE" Tom Cardy. Their soy face is always repulsive. I didn't know who he was until he retarded fans made me seek him out. That way, I know where not to go on the Internet.

Tori Amos? Are you high or some shit? Their music sounds completely different. And Joanna's voice actually sounds unique, unlike Tori Amos, who sounds like fucking Kate Bush. I'm sorry you can't appreciate decent music even if it hit you upside the head.

despite my own unending love for a couple of his albums, Sufjan Stevens. So many of his fans are super aggressive and condescending about how you clearly don't actually like his music if you don't like his weird electronica bullshit. Yes my favorite Sufjan album is Carrie & Lowell don't @ me.
Despite Carrie and Lowell literally being comprised of a faggot whining about his mommy issues, which usually makes for good music, it's surprisingly mid for me. His early 2000's stuff is better to me for some reason. I guess hiding your homosexuality makes your music sound better.
Serious KISS fans are universally weirdos. I would know, I love KISS and the few ones I've met or seen clearly have a few loose screws.
Who the fuck is a serious KISS fan? I swear they're some of sort of Mandela effect; I've seen them and their merchandising everywhere, yet I cannot name a single of song of theirs. It's gotta be some sort of psyop.

Worse, I prefer later era KISS, Creatures of the Night and Animalize in particular. Love Gun is their best from the classic era. Most people are into them just for the shows though. It's also typical for girls trying to appear like they know shit about rock to wear KISS shirts.
Gene Simmons may very well be the kikest kike to have ever kiked, and that's saying something.
I know right? Isn't it the best to enjoy a band with the baddest fucking kike in the universe? Too bad you got the name wrong though. Paul Stanley is an even bigger kike than Gene and is almost lolcow worthy with his antics like bitching about Ace and selling burnt pizza on Kiss Kruises.
 
[...] which usually makes for good music [...] His early 2000's stuff is better to me for some reason.
Hard agree, and much of his early 2000's stuff is either written about his mom or his """relationship with God""" so that tracks even if C&L was a miss for you. Seven Swans and Michigan are top tier but Illinois started to get more experimental and he lost me by Avalanche and Adz.

Also not to get sincere in a shitpost but man it would be difficult to have your sexuality debated so publicly (in the context of music discussion at least) for so long. If he actually is straight (X) nobody would believe it, if he ever came out it would be a whole thing and he'd be A Gay Musician which is clearly not what he wants. No good outcome.
 
Morbid Angel. Morbid Angel sound exactly the way people who hate heavy metal think all heavy metal sounds. Likewise, Morbid Angel fans look and behave exactly the way people who hate metal fans think all metal fans look and behave. It's lowest-common-denominator metal for lowest-common-denominator people. See also: German thrash bands, Kreator and the like.
:story: Stay filtered, lad. Extreme Metal isn't meant to be taken lightly. I'll admit I listen to Extreme Metal much less these days especially as my taste for newer bands has greatly waned. Still, anyone who says that can't listen to Extreme Metal tells me they just can't handle heavy music generally. People averse to Extreme Metal are similar to those who can't handle whiskey, absinthe or slivovitz.


- Bleachers, the Front Bottoms, Soccer Mommy, any of the boygenius girls, all of whom I love but oh my God @ their fans we get it you have feelings. You have big feelings that nobody else feels except this musician and therefore they are the most important parasocial relationship you can ever or will ever have. Your feelings are so important. We get it.
Soccer Mommy opened for Maggie Rogers with the highlight of her set being a cover of that fucking Sheryl Crow song. I couldn't have been more glad to have missed half her shitty performance.

Speaking of Maggie Rogers, what say you, Kiwis? Red flag or not? She's alright in my book.

What? I love extreme metal. It's just Morbid Angel that suck donkey dick, and Kreator are one of the most boring bands I've ever seen live.

Actually, wait, no wonder you didn't understand, you must be a Morbid Angel fan. Let me translate:

OOK! OOGAH! OOKAH OOKAH OOKAH! OOK! OOK! TREY AZGATHOTH OOK OOGAH OOGAH!
 
Dave Matthews Band - Dude who was hated by every other member of his fraternity but they had to let him in because he was a legacy. Played lacrosse poorly, currently plays acoustic guitar poorly. Has 100% committed a rape.

Darius Rucker - Exactly the same as Dave Matthews Band guy except played baseball instead of lacrosse and his fraternity was located below the Mason-Dixon line. Has 100% committed a rape.

Blink-182 - Has a nagging skateboarding injury, bad tattoos, and a citation for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor. Creeps on teenage girls while long-term dating/leeching off a single mom he will never propose to.

Primus - Stinky.

Everything up to and including Covenant are all considered part of the pantheon of Florida Death Metal. Everything they did after ranges from mediocre to dogshit. Nobody's arguing otherwise. To outright trash the band entirely is to dismiss the influence on Death Metal's development.

This also applies to fans of Jack Johnson and Incubus.

Pink Floyd* fans at age 60: Boomers who think they’re great because they got their first blowjob while Dark Side of the Moon was playing on the eight track in his dad’s car that he borrowed for the night. The girl was the town bicycle who thought the music was so deep and guys would play along because it meant getting a blowski.

Pink Floyd* fans under 30: Huffs his own farts while spamming YouTube comment sections about how they don’t make music this good anymore maaaaaan…and trust me, he would know because he happens to mention his age in every comment because people totally care that some random faggot is 23 years old and just totally loves Pink Floyd, man.

Pink Floyd can be swapped out for Led Zeppelin.

It's basically "le wrong generation" fags

I dont even like Morbid Angel or German thrash, but come on. Everyone knows the real lowest common denominator metal is slam death. Even slam fans themselves acknowledge this that their music is knuckle-dragging unga bunga shit.

On a related note, from what I've noticed, most people who like anything with "grind" in it tend to be huge weebs for some reason.
 
I'm honestly surprised there isn't more stuff about electronic music. There is a lot of crap in the genre, though also a lot of great work.
