Sunbather's up there though
my top 10.
1. Lauren (literally unbeatable)
2. Grimes (also literally unbeatable)
3. Early 2010's rap
4. Azelia Banks shill
5. Halsey shill
6. last year with Grime
7. DIIV hype
8. RYM
9. any DG sticky
10. Montie
Do you mean the kvlt fags hating it or the hipster black metal fans calling it the second coming of christ?
The initial few waves of summer posters from last year. Holy shit that drop in quality was next level.
Most embarrassing is likely the influx of /tv/ posters and their low IQ memes
Montie still exists, so no.
>>65009572
>implying it's not this one
>>65009770
rap monger rap monster earl sweat attack conquer
>>65010105
I actually totally agree with this
This album is fucking trash
would this album have gotten as much attention if it had a different title and cover art? It basically just comes down to that.
>>65010063
Hiro once said he was kind of positive about making /mu/ forced anonymous like /b/. He said he doesn't enjoy talking here, he spends most of his time on /tv/ sticking the new GOT episodes threads.
That Evanescence/Chelsea Wolfe meme last year hurt me
>>65009572
Yes, it was.
"Sunbather" is proof Starbucks Metal is learning from Indie Rock: when you don't have songwriting on your side, take the self-consciously "shoegazey" route and crudely go through the motions of "having atmosphere" rather than arriving at something called atmosphere in a natural way. You can already hear bloggers tik-takking away with purple prose about "blissful anguish" and "waves of light." Meanwhile the pink minimalist cover art tells you that Deafheaven "gets" the sensibilities of a unique, sensitive guy like you who talks about "rockism" on tumblr in lowercase letters and considers taking a vacation to France on your parents' trustfund. Metal purists don't get it, but they must be "closed-minded." Don't forget your sweater and Virginia Slims (or American Spirits for you turbohipsters).
>>65010301
amesoeurs got a pretty similar amount of buzz (less staying power) despite having a black/white cover
It's tied between Montu, Unty, Lauren, Proge Mon, and Xuosis.
Malcolm you just squeaked under.
>>65009572
sunbather is pretty good
>>65011290
I bet you listen to Watain and unironically care about "true metal"
Deafheaven may not be reinventing the wheel the way critics would claim, but they perfected and popularized their microgenre.
>>65011522
>Watain
Your trollfu is weak, so is Watain.
Bathory, Tormentor, Flames of Hell, early Mayhem, Carpathian Forest, Vlad Tepes, The Meads of Asphodel, Campo de Mayo, Absurd, Spear of Longinus and Grand Belial's Key, brah!
>>65009572
It was pretty good. Not so original, but still pleasant and consistent.
>>65011611
>I bet you listen to Bathory, Tormentor, Flames of Hell, early Mayhem, Carpathian Forest, Vlad Tepes, The Meads of Asphodel, Campo de Mayo, Absurd, Spear of Longinus and Grand Belial's Key and unironically care about "true metal"
Fixed for other anon.
>>65011611
>early Mayhem
stop being a faggot and listen to post-Euronymous Mayhem, its just as good
also btw sunbather sucks
>>65011611
Glad you didn't mention Darkthrone, because they are legitimately shit.
>>65011611
>using an exclamation point on the internet
its like you want everyone to know you like cock
>>65010302
trip culture cam be a fun thing though
he should just get the mods to permaban or rangeban montie like they did aaron, even though he's far more interesting
>>65011522
Sorry, but Lantlos already had them beat years before Sunbather came out.
>>65009770
>DIIV hype
Never happened
>>65009770
This but replace RYM with 'everything but rap & country.'
>>65014313
You weren't there for the thread where he got arrested with Sky, it almost got a sticky.
Not even close.
>>65009572
Looking back all the odd future hype pre-goblin was really embarassing
>>65014702
Nah I think it caused a nice resurgence, for me at least, I was that guy that always posted this in the jazz threads a few years back and I always got shat on but I also got so many good recs because of it. It's an important album for me
>>65014723
There used to be these "post your tumblr and make friends" threads and it's all Odd Future's fault.
>>65009770

>>65009678
>almost everyone loving CHz then immediately turning on it
This, the same thing happened to a lesser degree to PW
>>65014776
Djent was at least somewhat stimulating, made a lot of people excited for the future of metal, it was right there with Transcendental Black Metal but the joke got old fast.
>>65011290
God damn it's posts like this that make /mu/ look bad.
>>65014912
Djent is so fucking bland it's insane.
Imo etc
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.
>>65011822
There is literally nothing wrong with listening to darkthrone.
embarrassing
>>65011400
proge mon and unty are irrelevant and did nothing other than being typical tripidiots
>>65011400
>lauren
is that creature even still alive
>>65014912
Reminder that djentshareguy is a troll and dislikes most djent
>>65009678
>>TPAB-related nonstop shitposting
This one, because TPAB was actually pretty good.
>>65015534
>TPAB was actually pretty good.
>>65015534
it still is senpai
>>65015621
I honestly can't take anybody who won't at least submit to TPAB being "pretty good" seriously. For the biggest Hip Hop album of 2015, it was pretty refreshing. People bang on with their reductive "WE WUZ KANGZZZ" shit without having actually read the lyrics but the production and original composition is second to none when it comes to Hip Hop records. That cannot be denied, and anybody who tries isn't at all convincing.
I don't understand how people thinks that Deafheaven is black metal.
Deafheaven is screamo/shoegaze

4. st vincent / annie
5. memegrips viral marketing
6. djent spammer

FUCK YOU MOO, FUCK YOU
>>65015960

>>65015960
OF actually got me back into Hip Hop when /mu/ was going nuts over them back in 09/10
Tyler's got some neat production skills and flow, but I understand now why people were calling them the "black ICP" at the time.
>>65016021

Wait wait I haven't been keeping up with HxH but I heard it was back. Please don't tell me it's on hiatus already.

Fuck both y'all, I fucking love this album.
>>65015960
>That time /mu/ collectively ruined the chance to listen to all lights fucked on the hairy amp drooling by sending the guy who had the tape death threats
/mu/ confirmed for worst board
>>65009572
It's up there - I still remember when it got spammed to high hell about three weeks after it leaked. I loved the album, but damn, it was hardly worthy of such an insufferable seige of shitty Sunbather thread after shitty Sunbather thread after shitty Sunbather thread - shit, nothing deserves the treatment it got. I'm willing to bet a good amount of people here who actively detest the album can directly trace their loathing back to the waning days of June 2013.
I'm almost willing to bet money that a cabal of vile reactionaries like >>65011290 masterminded the whole thing, too.
>>65011400
literally all of those other than montie have redeeming factors
i don't like that after unty or whoever sperged out from being called embarrassing in a share thread, the word has almost become a meme
>>65010105
fuck off, the antlers is great
>>65015446
Unty is exceptionally shameful, m8.
Literally like the one black kid who tried to go super saiyan but instead was trying to unlock the mangyeko sharingan.
>>65011400
proge mon, unty and lauren are nowhere near as bad as montie
t. proge mon
>>65016435
Really? because I swear that was reddit
unty if you're reading this thread, please come back. no one should live their life angry and alone as you

>>65017192
even hitler had fans desu. unty's just a misunderstood autist
>>65011290
this is the worst post I have ever read
what's worse is you're actually taking yourself seriously
>>65011611
you've just proven your essay on Sunbather was invalid you fucking cocksucker
Sunbather is an excellent blackgaze album though, as is New Bernuda
>>65016984
>>65016829
Montie is just the new crazyaga, who was marginally more pathetic but marginally less annoying.
How did this album become so famous? Was it the cover?
I don't question the quality of the music, but there must have been some mechanism behind the album for it to have reached so many ears.
>>65011416
>>65011740
>having taste this shit
You guys should off yourselves
>>65017687
aesthetic cover desu
I'm not the most embarrassing moment guys, come on.
Grimes is
>>65014890
People still like PW here tho, and to begin with a lot of people were dissappointed by it, from day 1 people were like "Floridada is the best song and its not even close"
>>65017687
It was a perfect crossover planned at a perfect time.
The indie crowd had flirted with "black metal" for years, but Sunbather was something they could embrace because it was "blackgaze", regardless of actually how black metal it was.
>>65017720
At least Grimes has people who like her.
Nobody likes you Montie.
>>65017687
no.
it was because this was the first "black metal" album Pitchfork gave a good rating too, so all the normies took it to mean that Deafhaven weren't a shit band
>>65017720
you're the most cancerous faggot on this whole board. none of us would mind if you necked yourself. I've literally never seen anybody say something positive about you.
>>65009572
>tfw I like Grimes
>>65009572
I liked it t b h
>>65015920
This. Blackgaze is just a reboot of screamo under a name that carries less baggage. It's a more successful rebranding than that awful attempt to reclassify stuff like pg. 99, Orchid, and In/Humanity as "scramz" after screamo got co-opted by angsty, fat cutter chicks in the mid 00s.
>>65009678
You forgot the most embarrassing moment.
Yeezus spam.
>>65018944
>>65017646
>as is new bermuda
whoa whoa whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves
I didn't know /mu/ wrote Sun Bat Her
This new vektor album is desu
>>65019087
Honestly I prefer New Bermuda. I personally don't care for genre labels either so maybe that's why.
>>65010105
But thats a good album

Can't tell if you're trying to get a copypasta started of if you actually believe the stupid thing that you just wrote.
>>65017172
yes, its very problematic
>>65009572
Shut the fuck up about this album oh my god I see it posted every fucking day like it's the godsend that black metal needs or something. IT'S NOT EVEN BLACK METAL it's just a fucking rip-off that is tailor-made for people who don't know a thing about metal. Why don't you all just pin a fucking button to your douchebag sweaters letting everybody know that you're musically ignorant and don't know anything about music as a whole, let alone the genre of music that this album SUPPOSEDLY belongs in. Every single one of you are almost always too busy either a) riding pitchfork's dicks like a merry-go-round or b) trying to be hip and cool by liking something that is both "hardcore AND accessible". It's like none of you fucking heathens realize how stupid that fucking sounds. Either you're hardcore or pop but you can't fucking be both. I seriously hope that you realize how stupid you all are for posting this album over and over and over and over again are because this is some /v/-tier spam/advertisement/marketing nonsense right here. This album isn't good. It's not even decent. It's dogshit and you should all feel fucking ashamed for posting this at all.
Did Sunb8r piss metalheads off because it was a mature metal album? Does any hint of maturity in metal send them into autistic fits of sperg rage?

>>65016021
>>65016335
>>65016435
>believing he actually had the real tape
>>65019675
It pissed people off because it's not a metal album but is considered by people who don't know what they're talking about as an amazing metal album.
>>65019501
It was a good album, and I'm a fan of true black metal. I own the record actually, it's up on my shelf right now with Live In Leipzig, A Blaze In The Northern Sky, and Nattens Madrigal.
Cry about it.

Why is lauren an embarrassment, new here.
>>65020651
there was a thread about her where anons talked about how she dressed like a slut in some music video, and some idiot sent it to her on Twitter and it made the news after she replied
>>65009678
eh what was so bad about the gira/larkin thing
>>65015960
>9. That time /mu/ collectively ruined the chance to listen to all lights fucked on the hairy amp drooling by sending the guy who had the tape death threats

Didnt catch the diiv hype, what happened?
>>65020679
I'm a fucking idiot ,chvrches lauren ,thought we were talking about tranny trip faggot lauren.
I was there for that.
>>65020689
I actually don't even remember it being discussed on here, pretty sure I read about it on r/indieheads.
>>65020679
I fucking hate /mu/ for shit like this.
>>65017720
literally never seen you post before but I guarantee someone has a screenshot of you samefag shilling for yourself
>>65021214
What does Montie do and why is he a meme?
>>65021277
Nothing significant. People want to be recognized in the sea of anonymous posters. He'll make a (typically incendiary) post in a thread where tripfags don't belong and if no one recognizes a trip posted (because this isn't reddit) he'll post something like:
>Montie, get out!
or
>What does Montie do and why is he a meme?
There was NOTHING worse than the 20+ threads a day counting down the fucking seconds until Goblin came out. At least people didn't pretend to like it after it was released.
Also Sunbather is good.
>>65021365
Actually not Montie, just new, but gotcha. That's pretty painful.
>>65009678
I was there when chz leaked and came out. No one liked it and to this day it's a lackluster album
The burrito on windshield was the icing on the cake
>>65021476
The CHz conspiracy threads were my introduction to /mu/ and I still look back on them fondly
Time will prove me right. Lyrically, this is a terrible album.
>>65015465
I think its dead.
>>65011290
Youre right about the shoegaze. Apart from few bands, shoegaze is shit music reverbed to look artsy and "Worthy" of anyones time.
Also deafheaven is mediocore at best. Especially their latest. Then again most metal even the stuff elitists like suck so doing metal right is difficult in the first place imo.
>>65021666
can't believe you got trips for this shit post
>>65021666
trips confirm TPAB haters are the devil
>>65010105
>remembering when the catalog was filled with Hospice threads
>>65010105
as a future cancer patient i can say this album is shit
Death grips' fans and their meme music. Anything they put out is followed by "oh, look how cryptic and cool they are, so edgy" and they proceed to suck fantano's dick off for giving them a 9/10
>>65015960
>9. That time /mu/ collectively ruined the chance to listen to all lights fucked on the hairy amp drooling by sending the guy who had the tape death threats
I just learned that there was a hyper rare first Godspeed You! Black Emperor album and then I immediately learned that /mu/ ruined our only chance of ever hearing it.
am i right in thinking lauren is the chick from chvrches or did i miss out on something
>>65015960
9. That time /mu/ collectively ruined the chance to listen to all lights fucked on the hairy amp drooling by sending the guy who had the tape death threats
that was reddit, he never posted on /mu/.
>>65023461
there's two notable /mu/-related lavrens
one is the synthpop singer, the other is an insufferable tranny tripfag(who i actually haven't seen post here in a good while, hopefully it fucked off for good)
>>65018378
Deafheaven has nothing that sounds similar to pg. 99 and Orchid though. I really don't understand why people find it so hard to call it Blackgaze. That is the only name that describes how they sound.
>>65016860
it's just a character, unty isn't real
>>65020192
>top-right and bottom-right
>indecipherable band logo
What's the point?
>>65023483
Exactly; /mu/ hates reddit, that's why we/they did it.
>>65015960
>9. That time /mu/ collectively ruined the chance to listen to all lights fucked on the hairy amp drooling by sending the guy who had the tape death threats
That was one kid, whose name isn't even worth mentioning as it would give him notoriety.
>>65023483
>implying they aren't basically one and the same at this point
>>65023832
Youtubecomment-tier fags have never heard of the phrase I guess.
Hell I even regarded it as post black metal before learning about the genre
>>65014865
oh that makes sense actually, i never considered that the exchange conversation at the beginning and end and the preaching bit in the middle were separate things
i thought he'd like, paid this guy to preach about something and it confused me
>>65014702
this, although the circlejerk never got THAT bad here

you see all the That Feel threads every day? hes the one who made it daily widespread culture on /mu/
Sunbather is a fantastic album that's probably never going to be topped in its respective subgenre.
Let me know if there's another album this fast, this aggressive but making me genuinely happy and crushed at the same time. And no, Lantlos, the Crippled Children band or all other blackgaze doesn't even come close. Yeah, I tried to find something as good, but nothing.
Kpop and meme rap kanye bullshit is 100x more embarrasing for /mu/ every time.
>>65011290
>I share a board with retards like this
>>65026367
IMO ghost bath's moonlover comes pretty close.

Darkthrone is best trve metal
To Pimp a Butterfly's release was a bigger mess. I thought it was amazing that so many threads about it were being spammed when it was just good at best.
Not even the best Kendrick Lamar album, Good Kid MAAD City was miles better.
>>65011290
This is the truth and if you can't handle that, you should stop posting here because you are ruining the discussion for everyone else.
