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?

>>65631124
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.
