i dunno, "pop" is just rock-derived music that doesn't rock, in some senses

I know I sound self-righteous here, but what about the millions of people who do actually enjoy listening to this stuff? There are a lot of these people. And I'm sure they are valid as people.
― katherine, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 21:11 (ten years ago) link
I honestly couldn't care less if other people like this band or not. I think they're terrible and I'm very happy I never have to hear them unless I make an effort to subject myself to them; that's where my engagement with this ends.
I don't even know who you're arguing with here, or why.

I'm arguing with the trend, that gets stronger and stronger by the fucking day, that taste, as defined more and more narrowly, is some kind of moral imperative, and how it warps things like a 1,000-view band on some German indie pop label into the Great Satan of Music with 100+-post threads devoted to how bad they supposedly are and how no one can possibly listen to them.
― katherine, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 21:19 (ten years ago) link
i'm with you as far as "good taste" is concerned, but this is just "I Love Music", the message board for people who like talking about how bad music is.
and i think it's ok to be repulsed by something, tho yeah that rarely merits the backslappy "oh yeah let's all congratulate ourselves about not liking this" threads, but there's room for piss-taking of artists, genres, aesthetic decisions i think.

I would be fine listening to them, but take a look at their videos! They are so annoying. And that's an objective statement. They look like the kind of people who make their videos themselves, not because they can't afford anything else, but because they think the whole idea is to be on camera.

no one says you can or cant like a band. Puppini Sisters are still shite and deserve the mocking they got.
― ۩, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 21:43 (ten years ago) link
I don't have a problem with them and don't think they serve mocking. More specifically, my stance is they did a very nice cover of "Last Christmas" that's always pleasant in the rotation during that time of year. What does that make me, then?
― katherine, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 21:44 (ten years ago) link
why would it make you anything?
― ۩, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 21:48 (ten years ago) link
Because that's the unspoken implication behind every "OH MY GOD THIS IS THE ACTUAL WORST" chain-mocking: that the people who enjoy it (there are always people who enjoy it) are bad people.

today on a 'local' borad I look at this dude, a grown man, was trying to gee ppl up to go and see one of those screamo crunk bands or whatever they're called now purely to heckle them. I doubt anyone will bother but it was kind of lol because Grant Hart is playing literally ten feet away in another venue (this is tomorrow) and there will probably be like 30 people there

Wolfe Hogan on 27 October 2013 at 1:32 pm said:This is a particularly nasty and cynical piece of ad exec manipulation. The whole point of advertising is to engage with a broad demographic and evoke an emotional response on a sub-conscious level. Notice how the protagonist family is young, white and middle-class- they are “cool” enthusiastic youth football supporters who go to imaginary festivals and do crosswords in their bare feet. The vocals are fake working-class London youth but the music itself is girly acoustic pop, aping The Lumineers. I find it disingenuous to say it’s “inspired” by Ian Dury when it’s only ripping his original concept (they’re actually lucky he’s dead). I can believe that people might actually like the music since our appreciation for real music has been very deliberately sucked dry. Dumbing-down a nation’s appreciation of the arts is a conscious ploy (heralded by people like Simon Cowell and advertising execs) so that they can sell you shit- like this car.
