You really do need to get into the mindset of a Redditor to understand

You really do need to get into the mindset of a Redditor to understand why this band is so popular. These people have never heard of music in their lives that wasn't stuff like Lady Gaga, it was completely alien to them. And they can't enjoy these artists because they consider these artists stupid. They want an artist that doesn't necessarily have substance or good songwriting or authenticity, but that appears to in order to appeal to their surface-level taste. Because these people live for that mindless self-validation. They don't actually understand what makes for good writing or good music, nor have they ever picked an album more obscure than Demon Days. They want to pretend they do so and circlejerk themselves, that's what matters.

Gorillaz is just perfect for its demographic: these same Redditors who "fucking love all kinds of music, rock, rap, AND electronica!". The entire foundation of the band is built upon the dichotomy between "look at how wide our genre repertoire is, we have music that sounds like hip hop AND rock AND electronica" and "LOL SILLY CARTOONS". This pseudo-intellectual "wow so versitile" bullshit that Gorillaz shits out in almost every track is what appeals to it's audience. The band doesn't actually have the tact to even begin to offer an interesting presentation and discussion of any genre, so it spouts these edgy teenage cartoons.

Nevermind the bean-headed, noodle-limbed unexpressive production, or how the substance is non-existent and only comes up when the writers beg you to feel something for these characters so devoid of substance, or how the entire band is a trendy forgettable scenario of the week memefest with just enough hip hop references to trick kids into thinking they are smart for understanding them, or how the characters have somehow been reduced to even more obnoxious caricatures than before, none of these things matter. What matters is that it appeals to the millenial redditor audience, and that's what's selling Gorillaz.

This is a bait post but I completely agree with it

Gorillaz is essential teenage girl / middleschooler core, i know a guy over 21 who prides himself on his eclectic taste and his favorite artists are death grips and gorillaz

Lmao or maybe most people don't care if the music they're listening to is obscure. And maybe it's because people just like the music...but no, you're right, it's because they're all morons who don't understand "real" artistry.

Fuck out of here with your elitist pseudo-intelect

>>71987099
ignorance isn't monopolized by middle schoolers. there are people who pride themselves on eclectic taste and claim their favorite genre as classic rock.

The irony is that Gorillaz was made as a vehicle to "get kids into other types of music" but now the only fans of Gorillaz are the same 20 yr olds who started listening to them and never grew out of them
And those people only listen to shit like Gorilaz

It fails on a fundamental level since the people who need some kind of push to get into other genres or expand their taste are retarded an don't give a shit about music just how its presented to them

If you're above the age of 20 and a fan of Gorillaz you're not a fan of music

God forbid people listen to music.
Never understood /mu/ hatred for Gorillaz probably because it isn't some shit indie band that sells 10,000 copies.
Or perhaps they're like /v/ where anything popular is a bag of shit. Who knows.

When I was 9 the kids in my class were crazy about this shit band, pretty sure Reddit didn't exist for at least 7 more years.
>>
>>71988885
It's just /mu/ being fags because it's popular with everyone. They're literally /v/ of music

>>71987072
Why do you care so much? If you don't like it don't pay attention. Move on, do something else
>>
>>71989323
Because people enjoying something is alien to most people on 4chan. If you enjoy something you're immediately a redditor. The whole of 4chan is literally no fun allowed.

I actually agree.

As a copypasta, i r8 8/8 gr8 work m8
As an opinion, i'd like to remind you that the idea that everyone is special is a bullshit fix for bullying because the truth is that some people shouldn't have been born

>>71989354
Yes no fun is allowed here fuck off to reddit. If you consider circlejerking to a shitty gimmick band and making 20 threads about it everyday fun I'd prefer you to have that fun elsewhere

Your whole "point" is that 4chan isn't fun because people here dont share the same idea of fun with you.
Your idea of fun is not objective and repeating yourself over and over and saying that I somehow prove your points wont change this.
Are you retarded?

what the fuck do you guys even mean when you call something plebbit? I've never seen anyone who's called a band or album that actually explain what being plebbit is and what makes the band/album plebbit

come to think of it why did OP even make this thread? what does he get out of writing 3 paragraphs that sound like they're taken straight from a neckbeards diary with no opening for discussion at all?

literally plebbit: the thread

Why don't posts like this ever take specific examples and features from songs to back up their points?
It seems like the original writer of this post put some time and effort into writing this, but they've just made a few vague, unsubstantiated critiques about the music and spent the rest of the post bitching about Redditors. Like, is this supposed to be ironic or something?
>>
>>71993328
Yes it's supposed to be ironic.

This is just a variation of an pasta from /tv/ about Rick And Morty.
You are arguing with no one.
>>
>>71993479
You really do need to get into the mindset of a Redditor normie to understand why this show is so popular.
These people have never heard of adult animation in their lifes that wasn't stuff like Family Guy, it was completely alien to them. And they can't laugh at these shows because they consider these shows stupid. They want a show that isn't necessarily smart or funny or well-written, but that appears to be to appeal to their surface-level taste. Because these people live for that mindless self-validation. They don't actually understand what makes for good writing or good comedy, nor have they ever picked a book about physics. They want to pretend they do so and circlejerk themselves, that's what matters.
Rick and Morty is just perfect for its demographic: these same college-age self-important Bernouts who "fucking love science". The entire foundation of the show is built upon the dichotomy between "silly sci-fi humor and references" and " things are super deep and tragic bro". This pseudo-intellectual "nothing even matters, I'm insecure about existence, we are all going to die" bullshit that R&M shits out in almost every episode is what appeals to it's audience. The show doesn't actually have the tact to even begin to offer an interesting presentation and discussion of any philosophy, so it spouts these edgy teenage catchphrases.
Nevermind the bean-headed, noodle-limbed unexpressive character design, or how the story is non-existent and only comes up when the writers beg you to feel something for these characters so devoid of substance, or how the entire show is a trendy forgettable scenario of the week memefest with just enough sci-fi references to trick normies into thinking they are smart for understanding them, or how the characters have somehow been reduced to even more obnoxious caricatures than before, none of these things matter.
