ITT: Albums or artists that you unfairly dismissed at first,

Vampire Weekend were definitely the textbook definition of college hipster

But yeah they were still good (are they even still together?)

Contra is definitely a quality album, if overhyped and college-y. I think one of their guitarists quit to pursue solo projects, but supposedly they'll have a new album out some time this year.

pretty much majority of my library were once artists i hated but now like

What do people mean by college-y? I would associate this album with high school. In college, I would think of music that pushes the envelope a bit more, even obnoxiously or pretentiously so.

Think new england yuppies in the autumn, wearing sweaters and collared shirts, drinking in pubs with dark hardwood floors, vacationing at their parents beachhouses in cape cod during the summer.

Granted, their self titled EP is more college-y than contra, but its the same aesthetic basically. Preppy kids listening to indie rock.

s/t = Contra > MVotC

honestly, the only people I've ever met who genuinely dislike this band are contrarians trying to distantiate themselves from the "hipster" crowd and who most of the time barely listened to their actual songs or turboplebs
they're fucking great

the preppy aesthetic was a facade, m8
look it up

I agree. College-y albums make me think of shit like TMR

The Lumineers

Thats what I mean, this was literally me when this album first came out, whenever that was.

Another artist I hated, despite never actually listening to the music, was Kanye. I only knew him as that outrageous douchebag celebrity who says wacky stuff and makes headlines every few weeks. But then I started coming here and you faggots memed me into listening to MBDTF, which I immediately loved. But for some reason I still held a weird irrational hatred for him, and sort of for hip-hop/rap in general, so I didnt listen to any of his other albums for months, just listened to MBDTF on repeat.

Then one day I finally got over myself and listened to college dropout. Hearing We Dont Care that first time blew my mind a little bit, I loved it right away just like MBDTF. Im pretty sure that was when I first started to actually pay attention and listen to music, and full albums, instead of just whatever random songs I liked on youtube. The beatles and whatever other normie shit I thought I liked, but only listened to because it was really the only music I knew existed outside of top40 pop.

Sorry for the blog

that's funny, because I used to have respect to kanye until I actually listened to his music. stealing samples from much more talented artists and posing it as your own is not good musicmanship.

It's not good musicmanship, but if you like how it sounds it doesn't matter. You can make a case about how talented he is though.

I used to hate them because i had the urge to hate each and every rich kid in this planet
I'm over that though

I mean I can't blame you, they were probably only a few steps removed from being an NPR-approved Mumford and Sons-core band

>>70369943
pretty sure they are but it's too damn bad that Rostam left

>>70371233
I remember seeing lots of rave reviews for this before Fun took off.
