Say it with me guys, Swans is shit and Gira is a moron. It feels good to finally realize it.

this should have been obvious to you from the first swans song you ever heard you retard
gira's an emotionally stunted clown with the intellectual depth of a puddle of piss
always was, always will be

pretty much. I like how /mu/ criticizes nine inch nails for having edgy lyrics, but they'd slurp the same shit up if it came out of gira's mouth
reply to this post or you'll never have sex with op's mom again
Why is it important? Only jazz and classical music have intellectual depth. All other music is just for fun.
None of that is true. You're just trying to sound unique since /mu/ doesn't usually shit on this band. You're just an ultra hipster.

Swans haters are much worse edgelords than members and fans of Swans.
Early swans as just an output of youthful impotent anger is best swans

Edgy is not the same thing as being an edgelord. Stop acting like a mentally retarded fucktard and think if something has an edge to it that means it's bad. Edgy stuff that comes off as tryhard is the real awful stuff; the stuff that results from posturing.
This topic has a lot more posturing than anything Swans have ever done; this more edge lords in here.
>>61605185
That's pure bullshit, Jarboe is a really nice person.

How do they have intellectual depth?
so what if Gira's iq is a two digit number? their music is good because it has no need for intellectual depth.

Of course his lyrics aren't complex, it's just the way he shouts and sings them that's good

more pls. someone post at least the dougnut and cop ones
and yes of course swans are edgy. took younthis long to figure it out? not that its a problem
>>61608100
they're not that edgy anymore... Gira was angsty guy in the eighties but his personality seems more balanced now
>>61608266
Honestly he went angsty->depressed->facetious
>>61608300
yeah I agree... I like the journey the Swans discog is: first comes the anger, then the depression climaxing with SFTB, AoL are the post-depression struggle to find oneself again and new Swans are the resolution... still somewhat dark but in the end quite uplifting and triumphant in a certain way
