What do you think about Arctic Monkeys?
Is it /mu/ approved?
Should I waste time to listen to them?
this is their best album, totally recommend it to you

I really like them, but I can imagine /mu/ generally hates them.

They're a decent band, and their first two are really good. They get a lot of flack here (and in a lot of other places as well) because their fanbase is mostly teenage girls.
Music for normies who are desperately trying to break into hipster culture.

Well what does that tells you?
The Arctic Monkeys set the British record for fastest-selling debut album of all times (yawn). This new improved version of Oasis and the Smiths debuted with Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (Domino, 2006), an album that was impressive for what it did "not" deliver as opposed to what it delivered: it did not deliver a single second of music that people had not heard before.
good if youre 16 year old and want to feel cool, otherwise mediocre as fuck

So basically they just copied old bands and serve it to young fanbase that would otherwise never listen to those old band's music, which in the end are all generally shit bands?

No, they didn't, it's just that people feel the need to say "well they just sound like so and so". Arctic Monkeys don't actually sound like The Smiths/Oasis etc., it's just that people need to sneer and say "it's all so derivative man", as if there are any bands that are devoid of influences.

>which in the end are all generally shit bands?
The rest of your post is correct but the bands they copy aren't shit.
>>65830494
Who did they copy? Generally interested.

I don't know, I never listened to them. I was asking that anon.
>>65830645
Just listen to them, you'll know pretty quickly whether you like them or not.

this comment will always destroy me
Listen to their first two albums, WPSIATWIN and FWN, it's good, /mu/ is only mad because of AM
