What's your guilty pleasure? Pic related is mine...
that's not a guilty pleasure, that's a band that had artistic potential finding the crossover between their niche and widespread accessibility. most shit bands don't start out that way if they ever get widely famous
feeling guilty about liking something is childish

these, also from under the cork tree is better
>>69378491
Folie à Duex is best.
>>69378830
no, take this to your grave is the best
I sometimes listen to the compilation they released when they "broke up"
>>69378856

Alpha Dog was a great bonus track

They knew how to make simple but catchy af pop rock tracks, goddamn.
>>69378319
their first 4 albums are great, no need to feel guilty about liking them.
now pic related is a real guilty pleasure.

>the music video where Elton John was literally God
>>69379338
Which is pretty accurate. It IS Elton John we're talking about.
>>69378319
This album is legitimately great. I've been lucky enough to see them live in their prime, as well as recently.
I gotta say, they lost their touch when they reformed. I don't know what even happened. The production on their albums have been terrible since Folie A Deux too. That'd hands down be their best for me if it wasn't so brickwalled.

Gary Glitter. He made some great tunes, but I would never, ever admit to liking a nonce's music to anyone in real life.
>>69384235
Shreck was a mistake
>>69378433
This is true. People always wonder "why these bands are even famous" but FOB blend GOAT pop hooks with pop punk. Listening to other bands in this style it's extremely easy to see how FOB are still relevant
>Good singer
>Catchy hooks and songs
>"Had the look" when emo was popular

Wentz always wrote songs that gave me a chuckle, especially with his song titles.

oh hell yes
I don't really have conventional guilty pleasures. For instance, I love Mae. Who would give me shit for it? Like "oh, you listen to Mae, lol."
Damn right I do. Saw them a year ago at the Firebird, too. They were doing the Everglow.
The shit I'm actually ashamed of is shit like The Black Keys and Royal Blood--you know, shit that thinks it's cool but isn't. If it's obviously played or unhip, that's really just as good. It's edgy in a way.
The worst stuff is the stuff that's tired but still popular. I unapologetically like MCR, but I turn off my scrobbler to listen to Jack White.
>>69378319
I don't have any because I don't feel guilty liking music that I like. Sure there's music that when I listen to it I know how goofy it is but that doesn't mean I think I should feel bad for liking it.
>>69386596
Thanks now I have to play Tony Hawk 4

just look at this era:

>tfw everyone knows it because of OceaN Man
>positive fall out boy thread
Finally. They're my favorite band.
The past two albums..I view them as "fall out boy 2" and I can't blame them really. They wanted to be done but their connects in the industry kept pushing.
Aside from my liking them I believe they're objectively one of the best rock bands of the 2000s so far and potentially beyond.
When alternative was popular they were popular. Rap is popular and they've found their niche within that by releasing a remix album of their entire latest album that has popular rapper features. It's a genius move industry wise.
Patrick Stump has an incredibly versatile voice ranging from punk to gospel (check his solo album), Pete wentz is a quality bassist, Andy and joe are good at what they do as well, no complaints there.
They've also never changed their lineup which is always impressive in my opinion.
MCR was sacrificed for fall out boy to remain relevant. I wouldn't have been okay with this if danger days wasn't as "just okay" as it was but oh well.
I liked a few tracks off save rock and roll but American beauty is completely irredeemable.
>>69384235
Ew
>>69385544
Yay
>>69388247
I might just be a pleb, but the last 2 albums were just harmless pop music to me. I rarely listen to pop but with them I was more willing to just let myself enjoy most of it. They seem to be really enjoying themselves.
it is making them buckets of cash, but hopefully they do tone it down on their 7th album.
What tracks did you find irredeemable on AB/AP?
Deaftheaven - Sunbather
>>69386048
what is this trend on mu saying pop punk is good, jesus christ this might as well be reddit
>>69388464
that's just how opinions work dude
there's also a bunch of thread that praise hip-hop music unironically despite being a garbage genre for retards, does that not bother you?
pop punk isn't even popular on Reddit.

Honestly, I don't quite understand why anyone would ever admit to having a "guilty pleasure" when it comes to music.
When someone calls something a "guilty pleasure," they're saying much more than just "I like it but it's bad". In reality, they are putting themselves into one of two camps; neither of which are desirable to be in.
>1. The "ironic rockist" - this camp purports to be appreciating music on an intellectual or "deep" level, but shows enjoyment for something does doesn't live up to their poorly contrived notions of artistic evauluation.
>in order to justify this behavior and quell their cognitive dissonance, the rockist will choose to label the piece a "guilty pleasure" and avoid amending their evaluation process to better reflect their actual tastes.
>2. The "real" [insert genre] fan- this camp purports to be appreciating music on a "genuine" or "personal" level, but will prove otherwise through their actions. Much like the ironic rockist, they will achieve a state of cognitive dissonance when they find that they enjoy something not fitting in with the image they desire to project. They settle the dissonance through the justification of it being a "guilty pleasure" while assessing "well everyone has some."
>Oftentimes called such things as "hipsters" or "poseurs," these people are frequently concerned more with the image they gain in the eyes of others rather than the pleasure they derive from the music itself- that is to say, their enjoyment of the art stems almost purely from something outside themself, the art itself, and their sphere of control.
now, maximum the hormone ain't nothing to feel guilty about but I sure do feel like a 14 year old weeb listening to it
>>69388464
eat shit
just admit it /mu/ you listen to this everyday and you love it
>>69392854
adding the word ironic to an argument doesn't make something more true or precise
>>69393737
System of a down for japs and weebs
Not necessarily guilty, but since we're talking about albums seen as mediocre or unliked. I love this album
While we're on the subject of scene kid-core.
I wish I were lying. I'm sorry.

I definitely have you all beat.
>>69378466
One of you faggots literally every thread. No one actually feels guilty about liking it. It's a concise way to say "Shit you like that you understand why it's not liked"
>>69378466
of fuck off there's one of you in every thread like this, nobody honestly feels guilty about liking whatever it's just a bit of fun
>>69378319
Funny op I always say FOB is my guilty pleasure too. Them and early Killers.
CHVRCHES. Their music is catchy as fuck. I don't really understand the hate for their music here.
Fuck them as people though.
>>69395757
MCR isn't a guilty pleasure. They are legitimately good on several levels.
>>69396218
Yeah MCR gets pretty unfairly lumped in with a bunch of the terrible bands of that time period.
>>69392854
why u gotta ruin everyones fun?
I really like shadow and breath on me.
>>69381784
There's some amazing pop music out there... No need to feel guilty over liking it.

>>69397457
Oh hey, didn't see you there.
>>69378319
the first 2 albums of panic and first 3 of FOB and MCR I will always unironically enjoy, not a guilty pleasure though, history will dissolve all the cringe worthy works associated with that time
>>69395298
the fuck is that cover
>>69395483
I wouldn't consider that album a guilty pleasure.
>>69378466
amen

I like it too, it is not a shame

Why?

I guess.
Listen to Arsonists Get all the Girls. They're this, but better.
This guy kinda creeps me out, but this latest album I actually like.

I've listened to them. iwrestledabearonce's first two albums are avant-garde metal and nobody wants to admit it.

Love em. But Boy Division is probably my fav song from them
>>69402584
Gonna try this

How is that a guilty pleasure?
That's a legit fantastic album
It came out this year, and it doesn't have what I usually enjoy from the punk/hardcore/post-punk genre being kinda straightforward and not even that intense. But holy shit the hooks on it feel so catchy to me so it gets hard for me to not enjoy it.

Literally no reason to feel guilty of this.
