Is Gorillaz pleb normie trash? I thought they'd be a bit higher brow due to the collaborators. But all the Gorillaz fans I meet are insufferable with their taste.
tfw to intelligent too listen to music if other people listen to that music along with music i dont like

Nah they are kinda like the Beach Boys in the sense both patricians and plebs like them.
>Normies only know "I Get Around" and "Kokomo"
>Patricians know the tale of The Smile album by heart.
>Plebs only know "Feel Good Inc" and the "quirky music videos wow!"
>Patricians know it's satirical of MTV and the music industry and how else could Albarn make an album with Dennis Hopper?

They're kind of a gateway band to less normie music, I even know of some dadrockers who give them a pass
I don't think anyone can say Gorillaz don't have a single good song. Their discography is diverse and has something for everyone.

>Be out of touch dadrock listening yeehee ass elitist
>"NO, it's the children who are wrong"
Way to be a bitch.
Gorillaz is (was) a patrician band with pleb appeal
I prefer when Gorillaz had more of a just Damon Albarn vibe like on most of the songs on S/T album.

Gorillaz is just very well made unique pop music, not "patrician" at all but certainly not bad.
