ITT: Good normie-core released in the last 5 years.
>>65396374
Out of all the examples you could have chosen, you fucking choose Imagine Dragons?
>>65396407
Agreed
uh no.
>>65396407
>>65396421
>he didn't even listen to it
came out in 2010 but nonetheless
>>65396407
>>65396421
I know
I guess Tame Impala kinda counts as normie core. They're probably the best.
Seriously, fuck Imagine Dragons.
>>65396587
Night Visions is GOAT normie core I give it an unironic 8.5/10 and 9/10 with the bonus tracks TbH
>>65396374
nope
>>65396649
All I've heard are the singles and they are both 4/10 at best.
Also their SNL performance was shit.
>>65396677
delete this
>>65396699
their singles were trash the deep cuts were so good.
>>65396707
quality album and janelle is prime waifu material
>>65396649
I'm sorry, but Night Visions is trash. If you're gonna give it a fucking 9, you need to listen to more music.
>>65396649

i listen to a lot of music my friend i just like to indulge in some tightly written pop rock without any pretension from time to time
>>65396762
>i just like to indulge in some tightly written pop rock without any pretension from time to time
The anti-Hipster meme has gotten stale, can't we all just go back to being pretentious faggots ALL the time?
>>65396775
FUCK posted the wrong MGMT album
why live

This is honestly the greatest pop song that has been made within the last 10 years.

>>65396374
>>65396836
Turns out pretentious hipster assholes like better music than poptimists though
>>65396762
As do I. I'm just saying that Night Visions is mostly bland, derivative drivel.
Listen to Everything Everything if you're looking for some recent tightly written pop rock.

kys idiot if you can't tell the difference between me thinking an album is good and me thinking an album is technically impressive
>>65396901
night visions is better than this retarded manbun-core trash
>>65396680
good answer
>>65396901
>>65396911
the difference between poptimists and normal /mu/tants right here
>/mu/tant takes the high ground, doesn't get salty. lets it go
>poptimist tells them to kill themselves
top fucking kek
>>65396819
Not even the best Drake song.
>>65396942
>>/mu/tant takes the high ground, doesn't get salty. lets it go
are you serious?
>>65396901
>this is bland, derivative drivel. check out this other band that's also bland, derivative drivel!
>>65396911
I can tell the difference. It's just that Night Visions isn't good and your wrong
>>65396962
if the responses seem salty to you, you obviously haven't actually seen people get angry on /mu/.
>>65396992
It's good and you're wrong
>>65396934
I'd rather listen to manbun-core with catchy hooks and meaningful lyrics than sellout-core with regurgitated beats and pseudo-indie aspirations.
>>65396374
you start
>>65397008
>{'[("no")]'}
>>65396993
I meant do you actually think that a /mu/tant's default response in a situation like this is to "not get salty and let it go"
>>65397014
see i have no problem with a band "selling out" and psuedo-indie
i do have a problem with pop trash masquerading around as if it's not pop trash like the shit you linked
>>65397030
FINALLY
a good post
>>65397047
no, but it's obviously not yours anon lmao
>>65396707
only correct one ITT
>>65396775
that's a normie core artist but not album
This fight is so cute. I love it!

Which one? I'm pretty sure there's like 3 different fights going on here.
>>65397094
i know, i fucked up. meant to post pic rel

>>65397081
I just thought your original post was referring to /mu/tants in general and not just this particular thread
>>65396707
Not normie core for sure.

>see i have no problem with a band "selling out" and psuedo-indie
why
>>65397201
Is Tame Impala even mainstream? The only people I hear listen to them are quirky white chicks on my campus.
>>65397260
Isn't that mainstream enough?
>>65397121
>>65397126
>>65397201
i agree with these
>>65397265
not from the last 5 years but it's not that bad. jesus of suburbia is an excellent song
>>65397265
this. I just relistened to it today
>>65397260
I heard a few tracks in stores and restaurants so that's the basis for my post.
>>65397285
I guess we just have different definitions. I'm talking about stuff you hear in commercials or see get played on SNL.
>>65396887
this album makes me physically sick
>>65397240
Why would I?
Selling out is such a meaningless term, made up by butthurt manchildren who value some sort of ill-defined "authenticity" over the band's actual artistic decision. Maybe it's because I grew up on punk, but I hate this term because literally every punk band that has gotten any level of success has been written off by purists as being sellouts. So that term to me signifies a mindless drone who can't judge music without injecting ill-placed pretension into their opinions.
As for "pseudo-indie", just because a major label act tries to imitate indie rock music of yesteryear (like Imagine Dragons do with artists like Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes, and The Killers) doesn't mean it is automatically bad. Derivative? Yes. But I never implied otherwise. And I don't think derivative music lacks artistic quality as long as you can tell effort and heart went into it, which I believe is the case when it comes to Night Visions. Now their second album, Smoke and Mirrors, is where that criticism applies imo. That record sounds completely manufactured. But Night Visions doesn't, to me at least.
>there are people on /mu/ RIGHT NOW un-ironically defending Imagine Dragons
ive not heard of any of this fuckingh bands in this post u guys dont know a thing abotu norraml people music jesus christ
>I post bait and get 60 replies
>I justify myself in paragraphs and no one replies
never change /moo/
>>65397518
as long as you're admitting that Imagine Dragons is objectively bad I don't feel so bad about taking the bait
>>65397637
I never did that
>>65397688
So the original post wasn't bait then?
>>65397732
It was bait because I knew it would trigger /mu/ but I genuinely love Night Visions too.
>>65397223

>>65397956

>>65397052
So one type of fake shit is okay but another isn't?
>>65397989

this

>one single is successful
>normie
worse than hipsters.
This was quite fun
>>65397364
>selling out
>meaningless
Except it's a well known phenomenon, and everyone you mention it to would know exactly what you mean.
The dictionary definition makes no mention of "authenticity" even being a factor:
>sell-out: a betrayal of one's principles for reasons of expedience.
And the definition of pseudo:
>pseudo: not genuine; a sham
I guess I'm just not a fan of unprincipled derivative sham music, but to each his own I guess.
>>65398115
Shit, I guess I have to like it now then
>>65398177
When you bring out the dictionary is when you know you've lost the argument. Delete your account.
Still one of the best Hip Hop albums of this decade so far
Save Rock and Roll
Hip Hop normies that is.

A dictionary contains generally accepted meanings of various words (aka facts). I've literally never heard someone argue that using facts in an argument is bad. Also, I didn't even know we were having an argument. Maybe you should delete your life.

Imagine Dragons is the worst thing to happen to music since Elliot Smith died, including Mumford and Sons being a thing

>>65398365
>context: the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed.
>>65398422
to be honest, i saw them live and thought they were pretty great

>>65396374
>>65398246
antidote was one of the most popular songs last year lol
>>65398468
this is a good one
>>65396374
Probably Owl City or something
>>65396887
This was the start of their decline. It's all production. Here it's just a fucking mush of shit and the next one was EDM trap brickwalled bullshit
>>65396476
absolutely
I mean you could call it god-tier normie core, but then you got songs like u and for sale that take it back to /mu/land.
this is probably the only album I can play for normal people
>>65396476
I forgot i had this, thanks for reminding me :D
Fucking plebs each and every on you.

Not him, but I still don't see why I should care if I band "betrays their principles". I'm not their fucking mum or moral guardian, I'm an audience to their entertainment.
is this normie?
>>65397201
Lonerism was better in almost every way
>>65401034
is this good? besides untouched i dont even know any other of their songs
>>65401370
The Warning is legitimately great
>>65397030
Id group this in with Kendrick Lamar, both artists have the underground and the normie respect
>>65400548
good kid maad city is god tier normie core, even some of the people ik who only listen to rap and should appreciate it more dont fuck with this album for some reason. It really isnt as normie as mu thinks it is.
"Sedona" by Houndmouth is legitimately a good song
>>65398246
no bro, antidote made put him in like all the "party bangers featuring drake on spotify" for normies.

wouldn't consider this normiecore, but still a great album
>>65396649
>>65396374
>>65396444
I listened to that album about a 100 times after it came out. (I was still in high school, and was a major pleb.)
This album is mediocre at best. Maybe a 4/10. It's stadium rock with a bit of modern production. Listen to more music, seriously.

I was in high school in Las Vegas the year before Imagine Dragons hit it big with "Radioactive". They were playing a free show in the ZIA Records shop about a mile from where I lived and I had every opportunity available to me to see them. I decided not to.
every time I hear about this band I think about that decision and every time I'm comforted with the fact that I made the right choice because Imagine Dragons gargle balls
>>65398468
nothing about radiohead is normiecore besides Creep or some The Bends tracks.
>>65401971
radiohead are incredibly popular, how are they not normiecore?
>>65401971
they're the single most popular experimental group in the world. everybody and their mother likes radiohead. they are the normiest weird band in history.
>>65401986
Incredibly popular among people who spend a lot of time in music. Those people are not normies.
>>65401986
Because most normies don't even know who radiohead is. And if they do, they only know Creep.
>>65402048
or Paranoid Android, which was a radio hit in the '90s
or Fake Plastic Trees and No Surprises, which were big on MTV
>>65402003
wrong. ask any random normie on the street who radiohead is, they won't know. are you sure you're not confusing them with coldplay?
>>65402097
you severely underestimate how popular that band was in the 90s.
they've been name-dropped on Family Guy and South Park for god's sake.
whenever they release anything, it's mentioned in Entertainment Weekly.
Radiohead is a Normie Band
speaking of all-time great normie music
>>65402179
pixies aren't well known at all
I'll give you Where is My Mind but that's only because of Fight Club.
Nirvana is the normie equivalent of the Pixies
>>65402424
"Gigantic" was in an iPhone commercial.
>>65402440
Oh, 2 songs. You got me
>>65402500
seriously, though, Pixies were a massively successful band in the 80s.
they still sell out concerts regularly, they attract huge crowds at festivals like Coachella - for fuck's sake, they regularly play Coachella and that is normie Mecca
Pixies are also a Normie Band
TSwift is ok
Emotion by CRJ
Lemonade by Beyonce

>>65396476
Is this normie? I love it anyway.
>>65402361
2/10 bait
>>65402661
IMO their only good song is pumped up kicks. The rest of that album sounds way too poppy for me, it feels like I'm eating something so sweet that it makes me sick.
>>65397047
I think he just meant that particular /mu/tant.
>>65401860
I always dismissed this album because of the Pitchfork review. I mean, I know that people generally agree that the review is bullshit, I just didn't really have any interest in it anyway.
But my mom has been playing it whenever I visit and it's actually amazing.
Does Tumblr-core count?
>>65396476
Thumbnail looks like IFWHITEAMERICA etc
>>65396374
this is a step above normie core, I don't know what we should even call it, it's so shit it can't be described by words.
>>65402910
It's a good album, just overplayed because it is that good. Unfortunately everything release since has been complete shit. The definition of one hit wonder. At least they made an entire album that was solid rather than one song, which is more than most bands can say.

>>65404002
>implying Bluish and Taste aren't two of the best songs on the album
>>65404002
I think the album is actually pretty even
you have brothersport as the closer, taste is as good as also frightened, and guys eyes and lion in a coma are both only slightly less good than summertime clothes.
I guess bluish and no more runnin are the two worst songs, so maybe it does fall off a little bit
>>65398267
>some nights
>not the INFINITELY superior aim and ignite
>>65404116
They're both fantastic albums, was thoroughly disappointed by grand romantic
>>65404160
I have the same feelings towards grand romantic as I do some nights, the songs are ok to mediocre except for the title song which is actually good.

They're OK but I'm quite tired of Casablancas' trademark vintage French pop vocals by this point.
>>65396760
clt?
>>65406413
What do you mean/what influences do you hear?
>>65406466
this
>>65406517
It's hard to pin down because it's not top list music and not the kind of music I normally listen to. It's that kind of jazzy soul vocals, like Sam Cooke or Otis Redding, where Casablancas goes high and low, loud and quiet, strong and soft, to the point where I don't even know if he's singing to the song or some different track. His manner of singing reminds of French pop for some reason, quite a lot too. Maybe because he sounds a bit posh
Oh so this is the "subtle subversion of the standards on /mu/ yet again to enforce poptimism as the mainstay" thread.
Welp, i like bad music and i am absolutely content with it
>>65406626
That's what I like about them weirdly enough, I think it's different enough to make them stand out
why haven't anybody posted 1989 yet
this one is incredibily good
>>65406916
Yeah but having listened to Tyranny, which tries to be prog as far as I can tell, it just clashed with the record heavily.
I like when the song at least follows where Casablancas is rushing with his vocals. Take "Try a Little Tenderness" for example. The song develops to get louder and stronger, along with Redding's vocals. He sounds in harmony with his band.
And Casablancas just loosely goes around the melody during sections. There's Casablancas singing his song, and there's the band playing the instrumental part; to me they often sound like separate entities. He follows the song section changes; but during the sections, he just goes wherever he wants.
It's ok and good for several songs; but to me this schtick of his got kinda old.

Well of course you aren't aware fleet foxes is as mainstream and normal/inoffensive as it gets, you like alt j and probably think you have unique taste for it
>>65396649
It should be one of your all time favourite bands with a score that high. Or you're just a classic normie who doesn't get grading.
