Why do you guys think this band has become so popular?
Because you keep posting threads like thus you memer

this is my first thread about this topic and of course word of mouth, but I was speaking more so of their music
Because 13 year old girls on Tumblr think their lyrics are deep and relatable. Also because they're on Fueled by Ramen, which is a record label their target audience love.

They aren't popular.
I never heard of them until I came back to /mu yesterday.

I don't listen to them either but they just played near me at the United Center so I was interested because I have "deep" friends who hype them nonstop
Only heard about them once and it was from a fat tinder girl who would wear cat ears and slept with a fucking night light. Haven't spoke to her since I threw up on her bed.

Fact: if it weren't for the cringey lyrics this album would be /mu/core
>>65631870
why's that?

Yeah, I had a few friends go to that. They acted like it was the second coming.
Honestly, it's because they're talented and the lyrics resonate with a lot of people.
But i have a feeling you knew this and are jumping on the hate wagon because stressed out was so overplayed and they're meme'd out now. Seriously, the meming of them on /mu/ is as overplayed as that song is.

They're not my cup of tea, but I can respect them.
