I LOVE LORDE (Musical Taste Thread.)

[JGBPhone]

I know that Nicoleback has always been hated, but why? I've enjoyed what I've, besides that "I don't love you" one.

Their overall sound is something of a joke. And it conflicts with their image. They look metal but they're diluted pop-rock.

They're like The Edge in the guitar world. They - like he - might sound pretty but they're not doing anything unique or amazing. In the case of The Edge he's just layering effects over what he does to turn plucking two or three notes into something that sounds more riveting because he discovered that he can make the guitar echo.

I think the Nickelback problem is even bigger than that. You had this period in the early 2000's where pop music was basically the most watered down corporate rock sound you could imagine. By now that has all faded and been replaced with silly hip hop songs about butts, but back then fake-as-fuck rock was the thing, and everyone slowly started to hate it. Of course, most people liked at least one or two fake-as-fuck rock bands, or at least two fake-as-fuck rock songs. So Nickelback, which is artistically the rock equivalent of elevator music, became the symbol of that era of annoying song that everyone has agreed to hate so that nobody hates on each others exceptions.

Meow The Jewels is going to be AOTY

more hot opinions

Honey Cocaine is objectively a better Canadian rapper than Drake
Mac Demarco is a talented and cool guy and Another One is better than Salad Days
Justin Beiber is actually coming into his own as an artist and his latest singles have actually been real gud
To Pimp A Butterfly was 10/10 but I think it unfairly overshadows many other great experimental hip-hop albums that have come out this year
I'm like 90% his video to 'Alright' is a reference to that one Pharcyde video but no one seems to be talking about it so I'd feel weird bringing it up
Yo but bruh 2014 Forrest Hills Drive tho
Lil' Dicky is a talented rapper
I Don't Do Shit, I Don't Go Outside is a great album that reflects heavily on themes of lethargy and depression that I can emphasize with, it's def the best OF album this year, but Cherry Bomb isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
I liked the old Nightvale theme better, what happened Disparition?
Snow Tha Product > Nicki Minaj
I miss Amy Winehouse
I miss J. Dilla
I actually really liked Fashion Week by Death Grips
I haven't even listened to the new Bjork album yet
Courtney Barnett isn't overrated you fucking cunts
Today I Wrote Nothing by Billy Woods is literally an album of poetry
I found Dr. Dre's Compton to be disappointing, I was looking forward to it being to Kendrick Lamar what The Chronic was for Snoop, or what 2001 was for Em
I'm looking forward to the next Haim Project
Vaporwave has transcended musical genre status
Mallsoft and Futurefunk are aesthetic and wonderful genres that have come into their own after daddy Vaporwave transcended the physical plane
That being said Mallsoft as a genre>Futurefunk
ATMOSPHERES 2 by ECO VIRTUAL might be one of the greatest albums of this generation
Meat is Murder is the best album from The Smiths, not The Queen Is Dead-- and even on the TQID the best song is 'I know It's Over' come at me

albums that are good in my hot opinions

tl;dr I'm pretentious/"opinionated"
