This is one of those bands where you stop doing psychedelics and immediately disavow having ever enjoyed them. They are this generation’s Phish.

Agree even if OP is pasta. Strokes for some reason are considered among the pinnacle or the pinnacle of 2000s rock and it's just crap. Every song, like the Ramones, sounds the same, and not in a good way.

Considering how many good rock records came out that decade I'm always flustered to see this at or near the top of lists.

That’s right, M.I.A. managed to make a more popular song than the Clash. Thank God someone paid to fix Joe Strummer’s teeth or this would’ve just been another unmarketable British band.

I just don't understand how they were so successful. Honestly I must just be missing the cultural aspect of this music because I see indie rock being so well received yet I can't enjoy any of it, ANCO, nmh and jesus and the mary chain is the closest I'll ever get.
Anybody else feel this way? I feel like indie rock is just elevator music to me, at least in terms of it's impact.

Bob Dylan is possibly the most self-absorbed, self-mythologizing piece of shit to ever pick up a guitar. By writing inscrutable songs that pretend to elevate the byzantine dramas of his whiny, privileged life to some sort of self-construed poetry, Bob Dylan paved the way for our current vapid culture of appreciating personal expression over any form of talent. He couldn’t sing, he made a bunch of terrible gospel albums, and he sold out his core folk fan base and its laudable values of anti-commercialism by going electric. Although he was seen as a voice of change, he demonstrated himself to be selfish at every turn of his career. And worst of all, he has two first names.

You need to stop sucking up our bandwidth downloading hour-long bootlegs of “Dark Star” while I’m trying to watch porn. You’re 58 now. Have you ever stopped to consider that Jerry Garcia has been dead for 20 years? I was an all-conference cross-country runner and you couldn’t even be bothered to show up to the awards banquet because you were smoking weed. I don’t love you anymore, and it’s all Jerry Garcia’s fault.

You'd probably say the same about Half Japanese (different era and much poppier) but c'mon dude get your shit together.

It isn't fucking around. This Heat is INCREDIBLE and Deceit is a fucking masterpiece. The part in Paper Hats where it just shifts into that fucking hypnotic groove after all the spazzery, goddamn might be one of my favorite moments in any album ever. Fuck you. Fuck you to death.

* Taylor Swift
* Katy Perry
* Celine Dion
* The Backstreet Boys
* The Weeknd
* Adele
* Usher
* Jessi J
& countless others. Every time someone's like "pop artists don't write or produce their own shit"... THIS IS THE GUY THAT'S WRITING LITERALLY ALL OF THEIR SHIT

Arguably the most prolific and successful musician of the PAST 20 YEARS. And his top influences?
> Prince
> Lasse Holm
> ABBA

Makes total sense that all of pop music is written by one middle-aged Swedish dude. Seriously, look up his discography, it's fucking insane.

Here's what a real musician looks like, and instead of putting his big dumb face on album covers and TV interviews and music videos, he just writes the fucking hits and he writes ALL the fucking hits. Dude isn't even Jewish. He's a Swede.

Sonic Youth albums aren’t as popular now as they were in the days of cassettes. That’s because now it’s a lot easier to say, “Hey this song is going fucking nowhere, skip it.” Every single Sonic Youth song is a “skip it” song. Every single one. Unless, of course, you enjoy hearing Thurston Moore sound like he’s dicking around with effects pedals at Guitar Center.

Come to think of it, a lot of those supposedly really important New York punk bands were crap.

To be fair, Pantene Pro-V has released at least 80 different types of shampoo over the past 15 years, and sold them off of one The Transplants song (their only song btw).

The Misfits have sold one T-shirt based off of a whole discography that amounts to one song, because all of their shit sounds exactly alike. So what I'm getting at is that The Misfits are basically a hair product and clothing line, which is why they're sold at Hot Topic.

It's amazing that OP is shitposting on 4chan at the age of 40. Most people have a job and a gf when they hit 23.

I mean, I'm 28 but I look fucking 40. I may be a stay-at-home remote software engineer but at least I'm not a fucking NEET that listens to urban outfitters radio.
