What the hell ?
>>61042647

Radiohead
21 Pilots, surprised no one has said this yet.
The Arctic Monkeys
Started legit, became a full blown chick flick after an insane gain of popularity.
>>61042590
YouTube cover artists
at least that's what the fanbase thinks anyways
Foo Fighters
just replace "nerd culture" with "rock music" and they're doing exactly the same thing. also the same audience
>>61042616
I think this is as close as you're gonna get
>>61042800
We have a winner
>>61042590
radio head
>>61043385
wrong
>>61042469
They Might Be Giants
i could so see sheldon mentioning cardiacs or mr bungle once in the show
>>61043385
Wrong. The "faux avantgarde" meme needs to die. If something praised on /mu/ is bland and crappy "faux avantgarde" its LCD SHITSYSTEM
YEP LSD SHITSYSTEM IS THE BIG BANG THEORY
Taylor Swift: Super popular and normie, simple and uninvolved, both successful from Jew producers.
>>61043622
>lcdss
>trying to be any sort of "avant garde"
what in the hell how does anyone think that
literally death grips just replace science with Nietzsche for Dummies
>>61043668
Doesnt matter what they try to be they are bland as fuck and have literally notjing that makes them interestin yet they are praised by hipsters as some sort of creative novelty. It is literally the biggest pile of crap critics circlejerk about.
>>61043803
>thinks he's patrician coz he doesn't like lcd soundsystem
>but listens to radiohead
go to bed teenager, it's a school night remember
>>61043924
>implying I listen to radiohead
RH is better than LCDSS in every way though. But that isnt hard. I rather listen to AnCo or even tame impala than to these mediocre POP artists. Where is the appeal? I gave them a chance and listened to the entire discography. The few good songs they have are party bubblegum music with pop appeal. Nothing that sticks or is in any way remarkable. Literally a pop band that uses
>muh 40 min song
To appeal to pretentious hipsters.
>>61044112
Guess you haven't seen my records.
>>61044112
>Pop is bad
>>61044336
Bland music is bad. Bad is a bit too harsh boring suits it better. If a band- no matter which genre does not have some charm or musical identity they cant go beyond mediocrity. The problem is not that they have influences from electronic music but rather that they dont use it in a way I havent heard a million times already. Nothing sets them apart from other bands
>>61042469
Twenty-One Pilots
>>61042539
beat me to it
>>61042469
Imagine Dragons
modest mouse
>>61044487
I think part of the appeal is how well produced the music is along with how well James Murphy can capture positive feelings of nostalgia and remembrance in his tunes
>>61044658
Thank you. Even though this wont change my mind I can understand now what some people might like about them. This is (atleast for me) not what I am looking for in music though
>>61044112
lmao you just made yourself look worse
daft punk
>>61044918
Calm down fanboy. I just personally hate them and have stated reasons why I do. All you did is white knight for your precious band instead of explaining what they do that moves you. Music is largely subjectiv and no argument will make me like them all of the sudden but I might understand their appeal. There are many artists that I personally dislike but I can objectively hear why others might like them. This is not the case for LCDSS so please tell me anon which album should I relisten and what should I focus on? Iam open
>>61042642
