Everything - Hooch vs. LFO - Summer Girls vs. Crazy Town - Butterfly

I also just feel like this needs to be stated for the record: "Everything" has got to be one of the dumbest band names of all time.

idk at the end of the day it’s like, on a board where people enthusiastically and unironically embrace fatboy slim, third eye blind, and limp bizkit, maybe it’s not super weird to suggest that “hooch” is a more or less cleverly constructed pop tune and i sort of get that it’s funny to be histrionic and pretend to faint when you hear it bc it’s the worst thing ever and the lyrics are a crime against humanity but actually there is just so much worse music (two in the poll, two vids in thread)

and i realize this thread is supposed to be fun sry

'Everything' is no 'Hoobastank' but it holds its own.

budo, it's cool to like things that are garbage (god knows I love my own share) but 'Hooch' is unquestionably dumpster runoff.

Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee is a very skilled guitarist. UM just have extremely corny ideas and are allowed to make money that way because jamband people love corny ideas.

OL, please listen to the album 'Zonkey'

i guess we just set our boundaries differently !!

xp

The album entitled Zonkey by the band Umphrey's McGee has at least two very decisive strikes against it right out of the gate, and I will let you guess what those strikes are.

(I will give you a hint: earlier today, upon learning that the band under discussion has a song called 'Wappy Sprayberry' I wappy sprayberried my breakfast all over my workstation.)

this is tip o' the iceberg shit, man. you need to dig deeper.

If I really wanted to shed the last vestiges of my humanity as I plunge into a nihilistic void I can think of much more enticing ways to do it.

Dang, I should've known The Why Store would kill this thread stone dead.

Just as Grateful Dead followers were coined "Deadheads", avid Moe fans embrace the term "moe.rons."

lmao

on a board where people enthusiastically and unironically embrace fatboy slim

Everything Fatboy Slim has released under his moniker post-YCALWB has been bad to terrible

The most embarrassed I've ever been for another person was when I heard someone proudly refer to himself as a Hazelnut (aka a fan of the band Sister Hazel). It was like I absorbed all of the same that he should have been feeling but totally, totally wasn't.

SHAME that he should've been feeling etc

secondhand embarrassment is real

certainly didn’t mean everything he’s every done

It may be a truism that if there is a quasi-official name for fans of a given band, the band in question is a bad band that should not have fans.

always wondered if fatboy slim is actually fornicating up there or just emphatically in heaven

a second grader definitely lip synced 'praise you' at the school talent show that year, and it was extremely painful.

There's never a bad time to repost this video but because it seems to capture a vibe intrinsic to the broader discussion itt

That vibe being something akin to 'the cultural interests and practices of people who have wasps in their brains'.

I posted that video on facebook when it first came out and my father-in-law replied "What was that, a bunch of gay guys?"

And did you reply 'no, it's a bunch of Three-Elevengers'?

I replied something like "I hadn't considered that they might be gay. I just thought they were dorks!" to which my FIL replied "so did those two guys in the window."

my favorite Fatboy Slim thing is that insanely loud accelerating noise on "The Rockafeller Skank" which still stops the room cold

Mea culpa: apparently 311 fans are known as 'Excitable Ones' or 'Excitables' for short.

Of course they have a name. Of course. Of course.

Wow! That's news to me.

311 vid is right up there with the animal collective wedding video

311 member, "P-NUT", lives in town. my 311 loving family member was excited to meet him by chance at brunch on a visit.

I'm sorry, the Animal Collective what

It looks like one of those things from a kids movie where their little brothers hypnotize them and plays it during their big presentation to the board of directors, causing them to suddenly lose control and start doing that and it's so embarrassing but there's nothing they can do until the song stops. Then they get fired.

^ any excuse to post

oh my god

Doesn't work for me?

somewhere nearby a field of cows is stampeding, attempting to save their wounded brethren

this is my first time ever hitting Flag Post

evan plug "Michael + Heather's Wedding! (My Girls - Animal Collective)" into YT and dance along

Okay, that

Um

Ah

What?

Ohh, wait...that's supposed to be dancing?

Have they seen dancing before?

Apparently they have seen elephants before

Michael, you're my dearest friend, and I'm so honored that you chose me as your best man, but no. Absolutely not.

"I have a question about this song; would you like for me to sing it, moan it, or mewl it?"
"... Could you do a combination of all three?"
"DONE AND DONE"

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't My Girls supposed to be about little girls, like daughters. or is it just about adobe slaps

Where's Taylor Swift when you need her?

forgbs its about not caring about material things, like a social status
