ITT: bands you're "supposed" to like >Joy

>>70009333
nobody is forcing you to like those lmao
is this your first day here?

>>70009333
Don't get pressured into liking things that anonymous people on anime imageboards tell you to like

That being said, I have at least one album by each of those bands that I somewhat enjoy, but the only really great artists for me there are Bowie and Death Grips desu

No one forces you to like these bands you fucking loser, stop caring so much about what a bunch of strangers on a message board think about you.

7 years. Hey, aren't you that weeb on rym with the most generic taste on earth? You literally are the person I'm talking about- worse part is you think you have your own opinion.

Modern music fucking sucks and alt/indie rock is the single most overrated music movement we've had so far.

Go ahead, rate all those bands poorly on any music forum or "scene", you'll be ignored and condescendingly reminded you *totally* don't gotta like em dude lmao, free speech yo

>Joy division
Good.
>The smiths
Don't care.
>My bloody Valentine
Extremely bad. Basically helped ruin rock music for at least a decade.
>neutral milk hotel
Don't care.
>Swans
Started off bad, became good, got bad again.
>David Bowie
Never listened.
>Bob Dylan
Extremely bad.
>Death grips
I was already 18+ when they hit the scene so I obviously never listened.
>Sonic youth
Garbage.

>>70009333

Stop hanging out with seventeen year old girls.

>>70009509
I don't like those bands
Holy shit

>>70009509
I think you're just really young and have uncultured friends.
Literally all the bands you listed are favorites among kids.
Once you get older people stop threatening to lynch you for not liking crappy alt rock.

>>70009484

Im 26 now. No, the standard simply evolves. There is always this set list of things you have to like to be taken seriously. It becomes more subtle as you age, but it is always there, it never goes away.

even if you liked those bands we'd call you a normie fag, listen to your own music for a change.

>>70009610
We're the same age.

Maybe you should get a job outside the service industry? Move somewhere where people are more educated? Nobody thinks you have to like rock music. That's ridiculous.

>>70009333
The only ones I agree with are Joy Division and Bob Dylan, but I also kinda feel the same about the Smiths and Sonic Youth as well.

>>70009682

OP has to be a college freshman or something, because no full grown adult will care about such trivial things.

How far this board has fallen..

>>70009333
HOLY SHIT, THIS MOTHERFUCKER DOESN'T LIKE JOY DIVISION! LET'S BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!

Seriously, where do you think you are, an elementary school playground? Nobody gives a fuck, just listen to what you like and post about what you want to.

>>70009333
People shit on every one of those bands/musicians almost every day here
Spend more time lurking and not as much time posting retarded threads like this

>>70009526
>>70009656
Hey faggots I just popped in to say I most all of those bands and the only thing that's running through my head when I see dirty scumbags like you is a twinge of sadness because I can't share my love of these musical artists to some people but I understand that people are all different and I move on with my day without a further care. Have a nice weekend.

Srs
Anon sites should be above it. Probably are above it actually, vocal minority memers just, im changing my mind as i type this
Peace be upon you

They're just insecure about their music taste because they've been bullied for not liking mainstream music in their youth. Now they have their super secret internet community that they belong to and that's all they ever wanted. They'll insult you and hate on the bands you like because everything is a threat to their special community.

I'm projecting only half of this so don't bother posting that as a reply

>>70009366
>hurr if you don't like it don't listen to it!

If you don't' want to hear someone complain about a band they don't 'like don't read it/respond to it.

I for one would love to discuss with OP how shit these avant-teen p4k approved bands are.

>>70009333

I like the production quality on ITAOS, and the music is inoffensive at best.

Talented, genuinely creative, but ultimately lacks any real gripping qualities
>Bob dylan
Solid song writer, terrible performer

I'm going to skip this one because I dont believe people seriously like them.

Non-gripping, however they are pioneers i'll give them that.

>>70009526

>>70011914
OP does or else he wouldn't have made the thread. Don't let the door hit you on the way out mr. redditor

Two out of all of those bands mentioned(Sonic Youth & MBV) are some of my favorite bands of all time, and I'm 23 years old. I don't think it makes you a pleb if you like them or not. Everyone has different taste.

>>70009333

>>70011898
This is essentially correct. Except I actually think the production quality on ITAOS is kinda shit. Sounds like it hasn't even been mastered in parts.

Will 17 year old girls hang out with me if I listen to those bands?
[spoiler]please say yes[/spoiler]

>>70009333
Joy Division is quite possibly the most overrated band of all time. All the other acts you listed are good though.

>>70009333
But those bands are the first ones you're going to listen to when you're just getting to music.

And it's quite the opposite, people don't want you to like those bands because they're not obscure enough.

>>70011907
how is that nihilism, you spastic?

>>70013864
I couldn't have fucked up that comment any more could I.

>>70009333
Man, even as a teenager I was never insecure like this. Having your own opinions is easy anon, watch this:

The Seer and To Be Kind are two of the worst albums to receive significant amounts of attention in recent years, and a stain on the previously good name of Swans. They are a midlife crisis set to music - the sound of a worn out has-been trying to prove that he's "still got it", and are mindlessly lapped up by meme-loving idiots and children.

>>70009333
Never liked Dylan, Bowie has such an extensive discography that surely everyone can enjoy some of his works.

The Smiths were downright fantastic.

>>70009333
I don't really like any of those things except for a little bit of Bowie.

https://youtu.be/WmufxWJXCzU

>>70014094
the smiths are fucking terrible mate.

>>70009333
I've been here 8 years and don't like any of them except a few Bowie tracks.

Fuck the /mu/ hivemind circlejerk.

>>70014321
wow my man, that's a hell of a story.

>>70009333
I don't think people should like those groups, but they are worth listening to and giving a chance. I think there are groups that could be called essential listening, a group that has made a mark on music, art, and culture, that is worth everybody's time. But some people aren't passionate about music, or aren't as curious as some of us. So I just let it go.

People in this board actually think Lou Reed was a talented musician, so what do you expect?

>>70009509
>you'll be ignored
only if you don't have any arguments to back up your opinion

Imagine not liking the smiths

>>70009484
I still can't comprehend how post-punk revival manages to be so utterly boring.

>>70014848
Its really easy to do.

>>70009333
Except NMH, David Bowie and Death Grips are actually good

>>70009366
you fags are worse than SWJ's in terms of shaming people for not liking what you like or for liking stuff that you term as non-acceptable.

>>70009333
>Joy division
Their popularity is similar to Nirvana, but it's more hip to like them because it's post-punk.
>The smiths
I haven't actually listened to them.
>My bloody Valentine
Pop songs with a lot of reverb. Though they did the reverb part really well.
>neutral milk hotel
It is THE indie album. And there is nothing wrong with not liking indie.
>Swans
If you think reunion Swans is anything more than Mikey G's retirement jam band, you're probably a drone.
>David Bowie
Decent pop musician, excellent when he is joined by Eno and Visconti
>Bob Dylan
Muh cultural significance. His music is not special, but I guess that is not what he's actually celebrated for.
>Death grips
Props for making something actually exciting in the bland hip-hop scene - too bad they started to regress.
>Sonic youth
They took the most boring path out of no wave.

>>70009333

>Joy division
They're decent, a lot of people here consider them to be pleb shit though
>The smiths
No way are you "supposed" to like this band, they are one of the most polarizing on the entire board. Some love them, some think they are boring tumblrina core. How new are you?
>My bloody Valentine
Never listened
>neutral milk hotel
ITAOTS is a meme anyway and their other stuff never gets discussed much
>Swans
This one might have an element of truth to it, again though I've never listened
>David Bowie
People were trying to appear edgy by calling him a hack after he died, there were so manh bait threads. Those people got called contrarians but generally speaking if you say you don't like Bowie someone will laugh at you and move on. He's my favourite artist personally.
>Bob Dylan
He's not that popular on here, only discussed semi-regularly and many criticise his vocals and lyrics. He has many fans on here too of course, but again, no one is forced to like him because I'm indifferent towards him and no one has ever attacked me over it on here.
>Death grips
Plenty hate them and consider them childish on here. You're not alone of you don't like them.
>Sonic youth
Never listened but I don't think I see them come up much anyway.

>>70011933
>Station to Station is nothing special

>expects to shit on much-loved artists and not have people criticize him for it
If you can properly and clearly articulate what you don't like about them, nobody would give a fuck and it could even spark a discussion.

>>70009333
>le music is subjective meme
just a defense mechanism for plebs desu

>>70009333
Are you capable of forming your own opinions?

>>70014856
Well, it's modeled after the original post-punk, you see

>>70009333
>Joy Division
Finally listened to them this week. They suck. If they hadn't been around back then, and tried to release their material now, people would shit all over it.
>The Smiths
Finally listened to The Queen Is Dead last week. Only got through the first few songs, but it was pretty good.
>My Bloody Valentine
Loveless was alright.
>Neutral Milk Hotel
I actually like them.
>Swans
Haven't bothered to try to listen to them yet.
>David Bowie
Same as Swans.
>Bob Dylan
Overrated. He's only viewed the way he is because he was around in the 60s. Same as Joy Division - if he hadn't been around then, and tried to release his material today, people wouldn't be sucking all over his nuts.
>Death Grips
Sorry, but I already graduated 6th grade and I don't live in government housing, so I don't listen to rap.
>Sonic Youth
They're alright.

could add just as many black artists

>>70016438
>Napoleon Bonaparte was overrated, if he'd tried to conquer the world today, it'd probably not have succeeded.

>>70016772
who are the black artists you are supposed to like? Davis Coltrane the list goes on?

>>70016802
MJ
Prince
Hendrix
Brown
Every mainstream rapper etc.

>>70016832
I will give you MJ and maybe prince but i don't think hendrix and brown are popular enough among people under 30 for anyone to care if they are listened to. and rap music has not had the level of respect or legitimacy as post punk for a long enough period to qualify any rapper.

>>70009526
>I was already 18+ when they hit the scene so I obviously never listened.
good b8

>>70009333
These bands are essential for modern rock music same way Dostoyevsky, Bronte, Dickens, Dumas and Hugo are essential in classic literature, you don't have to like them but if you don't acknowledge their influence you are an idiot

Except Death Grips, they are truly shit
