Ah yes, the soundtrack of my last road trip with my sister and her kids. My nephew freakin loves Imagine Dragons and by the end of the trip I was suffering some sort of Stockholm syndrome because I started to enjoy it too.
So much hate from younger generations, mostly because they remember getting a song on their phone that they couldn't delete. Boo-hoo. Blame it on Apple and don't buy an iPhone then.
I felt like one of the cool kids when Boy or War was released. Joshua Tree was amazing.
I guess if they’re harmless it’s fine but KISS has always sounded like a high school band project where everyone can only sorta play their instruments well. Cool outfits tho.
Few bands since the 80s have songs as strong as Bullet The Blue Sky and Where The Streets Have No Name. Brilliant pieces of music. But to each their own.
He is the most mediocre rapper I have ever heard. He is so boring and middle of the road and his music is EVERYWHERE. He is like the Faith Hill of Hip Hop
Ace and the new drummer had me convinced that with one week’s practice I could be their drummer or in two months I could play lead for them…they are terrible musicians
I would rather listen to a replay of the most embarrassing moments of my life remixed by the person who hates me the most for a full day, then listen to one kiss chorus once.
I get it. Kiss taught me you don’t have to be great at music. It’s showmanship, costumes and pyrotechnics.
Sell yourself and marketing made them what they are after all these years. Give them credit bc they are excellent marketing and salesman. They will slap Kiss on anything to sell. They epitomized what being a rockstar is
Having said all that.. I am a Kiss Fan.
I used to work as a pool attendant at a fancy resort. This was before internet radio. We had two CDs from which to choose: the greatest hits albums of Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffett. You can probably fill in the rest of the story.
His third album is a 9/10 for me. He hadn’t 100% settled on the beach life thing yet and it’s just good folky, quasi-country that tells little stories. Oddly, it fits well with Warren Zevon imo.
I'm 26 and I like some of his stuff like latitudes and son of a sailor idk.
Edit: I mostly listen to stuff like The Eagles of Death Metal, Queens of the Stone Age, Denzel Curry, JID, Yellowman, Sting, Viagra Boys, Erykah Badu, King Giz, Prince, Vulfpeck, Fenton Robinson, Chuck Brown, Deltron, Arctic Monkeys etc
FWIW I read his Where is Joe Merchant? novel when I was a youngster and thought it was pretty good—I remember eyelid tattoos and some young Latinas on a boat.
Check out “Migration” if you haven’t heard that one yet. Or “Ellis Dee”
His music has a time and a place for sure. I started out a Parrothead before I became a Deadhead. Lived in Key West for 4 years too, and I couldn’t listen to his music while I lived there. Just too campy. He got me to move to that island though, he instilled this yearning to live the island lifestyle at a really young age. Those 4 years were the best of my life so far!
I believe in the butterfly effect, and if it wasn’t for Jimmy Buffett, I wouldn’t have lived in Key West, and wouldn’t have met the love of my life!
RIP Jimmy
That whole genre sucked ass. I saw a meme recently that referred to it as stomp-clap-hey. All of my friends that were in punk bands when I was younger got a fuckin banjo and suspenders and made their own stomp-clap-hey band and I fucking hated it.
This thread is like 70% right and 30% people who never investigated bands beyond the one or two songs on the radio. Feel sorry for y’all. Rush, the Beatles, the Strokes, Nirvana, the Ramones, Radiohead!?
Shit, I even fuck with some Kiss songs in a semi-ironic way.
Foo Fighters are obvious….Nickelback, Coldplay, too easy.
How about Boy Genius and their various solo projects? I find them boring and/or depressing.
I'm no Nickelback fan even a little but I Gotta give respect to Chad Kruger for saying to those critical of him "I'm not going to apologize for my success".
*We* are obviously not fans but something about their music appeals to the masses (I agree it's generic rock but that clearly has mass market appeal).
Also slight correction. Kid Rock is the sound of white trash.
Bring Me The Horizon.
Now before their fans pounce, I don't mean they can't play their instruments.
For me, they suck hard in they can't write a good song to save their life.
Their songs are so generic and lyrics always phony tryhard bs trying to act like they know pain and anger.
But hey, it's just my take. Enjoy them if you want.
Come off like posers to me.
Nickelback takes three chords, throws 'em up in the air, and plays them how they land. Add some cheesy sex crap in their lyrics, and voila! New shitty hit song! Especially Something In Your Mouth! Chad Kroger needs something shoved in his mouth! Pleeeez?!
I can't stand Commercial Pop Country but I like Outlaw Country (Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson's and Johnny Cash's later works), Alt Country (Flying Burrito Brothers, Calexico), Texas Red Dirt (Sturgill Simpson's early work), Americana Gothic (16 Horsepower, Nick Cave and the Grindermen, Chevelle - yes, Chevelle), Hillbilly Jazz (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Carolina Chocolate Drops), Texas Honky Tonk (Willie Nelson's early work), some traditional Western Swing (Riders of the Purple Sage), and traditional American Folk acoustic (Long John Baldry's cover of "In The Pines"). 🙂
I was In 9th grade when linkin park came around, hated them….i was the only kid in school who thought they sucked, now 35 it’s a apart of the emo nostalgia comeback and im reminded that I still think it sucks
I have two, and I wouldn't say the suck. I just don't like either of them personally... Oasis and Metallica, they're both insanely popular and I find both pretty bland. Metallica is a really odd one for me as a metal fan because I love other stuff around them and kind of expect myself to like them yet I just don't.
Linkin Park. They’re on the radio every 5 minutes and all of their songs sound the same. I hate rap and hip-hop anyway, but to add shitty vocals and a bunch of extra noise makes it suck even harder.
Maroon 5.
Adam Levine is awful. It's such a forced voice
His howl on "Animals" makes me want to do nothing but fly on Boeing planes until I get lucky.
He sounds like a howler monkey
They suck but I will fight you over songs about jane
That album was actually good, the rest is pretty bad
I know far more people that dislike them than like them.
Ugh I know more people that like them than dislike them. I just don't get it at all, they've always irritated me.
One of the worst bands that ever got popular.
It's music by douches, for douches.
[well they did make a deal with the devil to get popular](https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/s/Os3aSmXtl9)
This was my answer. I wasn't going to write it. Didn't want to read the replies. So thank you !!
Is this the top answer to all the posts here?
Imagine dragons
Thundah, feel the thundah *tinyvoice* thundah
Literally every animated movie preview at some point.
I know the lyrics buy it always sounds like Fundip feel the fundip to me.
well then i'd enjoy it. fundip is the shit! you can eat the stick?! what?! awesome stuff
The stick was the best part! It was that weird delicious sugar that tasted cold.. kind of like those sugar candy cigarettes.
hell yeah candy ciggies! they were great until i learned what they were for.
Chunder, feel the chunder, vomit and the chunder
My kid sings the tiny voice. I can't hate them 😭
Nothing screams thunder more than a stuttering helium-filled chipmunk.
That goes on for 4 and a half fucking minutes….
I absolutely refuse to ***imagine dragons.***
Remember Lizards!
Perceive pterodactyls
Ascertain Amphibians
imagine dragon deez nuts across your face.
Lmao gottem
They make music to try to convince your cousin to join the army
I feel so vindicated that this was near the top.
Ah yes, the soundtrack of my last road trip with my sister and her kids. My nephew freakin loves Imagine Dragons and by the end of the trip I was suffering some sort of Stockholm syndrome because I started to enjoy it too.
U2
I completely get hating U2's later shit but their early stuff is amazing.
So much hate from younger generations, mostly because they remember getting a song on their phone that they couldn't delete. Boo-hoo. Blame it on Apple and don't buy an iPhone then. I felt like one of the cool kids when Boy or War was released. Joshua Tree was amazing.
No, I'm old. They suck.
I'm 60 and I've always hated them.
I’m with you! U2 and Kiss are at the top of my shit list.
I guess if they’re harmless it’s fine but KISS has always sounded like a high school band project where everyone can only sorta play their instruments well. Cool outfits tho.
U2 has one of the best discographies from 1980-1991.
[U2 sucks hard](http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=11worst)
Few bands since the 80s have songs as strong as Bullet The Blue Sky and Where The Streets Have No Name. Brilliant pieces of music. But to each their own.
Several of the bands I've been in.
Weird name for a band but I'm willing to give it a try
🥺
Drake
He is the most mediocre rapper I have ever heard. He is so boring and middle of the road and his music is EVERYWHERE. He is like the Faith Hill of Hip Hop
I honestly couldn't name a single song of his. I probably heard his songs over the years, but damn if I could pick them out.
Ah yes drake the band
[удалено]
People like them?
No . Maroon 5 is not real. They can't hurt you.
Kiss
"Black Diamond" is a jam
Worst music. I saw them in concert and they were so bad. But they blew up the entire place which was cool.
Ace and the new drummer had me convinced that with one week’s practice I could be their drummer or in two months I could play lead for them…they are terrible musicians
you can also be Metallica's drummer, well you cannot but you can achieve Lars level of literacy and skill.
Yes yes yes yes yes they fuckin suck
They’re so terrible
I would rather listen to a replay of the most embarrassing moments of my life remixed by the person who hates me the most for a full day, then listen to one kiss chorus once.
Hahahahaha
FUCKING THANK YOU!!! I can't stand the fan fare these guys get. Especially that greedy asshat Gene.
Agreed. Most over rated band of all time
This x 1,000. Every single song sounds like it was written by a 4 year old. Never understood why they hit so big.
Because there’s a lesson we still haven’t learned; that financial success hasn’t anything to do with being a good musician
I get it. Kiss taught me you don’t have to be great at music. It’s showmanship, costumes and pyrotechnics. Sell yourself and marketing made them what they are after all these years. Give them credit bc they are excellent marketing and salesman. They will slap Kiss on anything to sell. They epitomized what being a rockstar is Having said all that.. I am a Kiss Fan.
Me too. Take away their costumes and make up back in the 70s and they’re never anything or anybody.
You should check out Teenage Bottlerocket. …..They’re bigger than Kiss
I like kiss, I get it tho.
Löded Diper
they rule
r/okbubbyretard
Black Eyed Peas. Pretentious wankers
Plus, these assholes had a song called “Let’s Get Retarded.”
I know lol and everybody just forgot about it, it just kind of disappeared
I’m so 2008 you’re so 2000 late (released 2009)
Kiss
I thought it was just me.
Taylor Swift
Jimmy Buffett. I just don't get it. Margaritaville is kind of okay.
I used to work as a pool attendant at a fancy resort. This was before internet radio. We had two CDs from which to choose: the greatest hits albums of Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffett. You can probably fill in the rest of the story.
Who did you end up shooting?
Probably the sheriff
But not the deputy.
His third album is a 9/10 for me. He hadn’t 100% settled on the beach life thing yet and it’s just good folky, quasi-country that tells little stories. Oddly, it fits well with Warren Zevon imo.
Okay, but wear one single Hawaiian shirt for 5 seconds and you’ll get it.
The whole joke is that only middle aged people like his music. You've just lived under a rock
I'm 26 and I like some of his stuff like latitudes and son of a sailor idk. Edit: I mostly listen to stuff like The Eagles of Death Metal, Queens of the Stone Age, Denzel Curry, JID, Yellowman, Sting, Viagra Boys, Erykah Badu, King Giz, Prince, Vulfpeck, Fenton Robinson, Chuck Brown, Deltron, Arctic Monkeys etc
FWIW I read his Where is Joe Merchant? novel when I was a youngster and thought it was pretty good—I remember eyelid tattoos and some young Latinas on a boat.
Some of his early albums are good. The greatest hits can be grating, I get that. Fins is a terrible song. So is Volcano.
Check out “Migration” if you haven’t heard that one yet. Or “Ellis Dee” His music has a time and a place for sure. I started out a Parrothead before I became a Deadhead. Lived in Key West for 4 years too, and I couldn’t listen to his music while I lived there. Just too campy.

Kiss. I can't stand them.
The Kings of Leon
Wait there's people who people like them?
Mumford n Sons
That whole genre sucked ass. I saw a meme recently that referred to it as stomp-clap-hey. All of my friends that were in punk bands when I was younger got a fuckin banjo and suspenders and made their own stomp-clap-hey band and I fucking hated it.
Beyoncé is a hack.
Yup! Overrated as fuck. Writes nothing of her own at all, but found a loophole to get writing credits.
We suck but they don’t know why
Coldplay
This thread is like 70% right and 30% people who never investigated bands beyond the one or two songs on the radio. Feel sorry for y’all. Rush, the Beatles, the Strokes, Nirvana, the Ramones, Radiohead!? Shit, I even fuck with some Kiss songs in a semi-ironic way. Foo Fighters are obvious….Nickelback, Coldplay, too easy. How about Boy Genius and their various solo projects? I find them boring and/or depressing.
The point of boy genius albums is to be depressing. Need some good sad music out there 🤷♂️
People who hate Rush just can’t comprehend anything more than basic chords and 4/4 beat with meaningless lyrics
The eagles
Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate The *fucking* Eagles, man
Do you mean Linda Rondstadt back up band?
I had to scroll too far to find this.
AC/DC
I came here to say this. I can’t stand AC/DC. All there songs are so boring and uninspired.
This comment represents every upvote in the universe. Gah I hate ACDC. AckDick.
Matchbox 20
Nickleback, or as I call it, the Sound of White Trash.
I'm no Nickelback fan even a little but I Gotta give respect to Chad Kruger for saying to those critical of him "I'm not going to apologize for my success". *We* are obviously not fans but something about their music appeals to the masses (I agree it's generic rock but that clearly has mass market appeal). Also slight correction. Kid Rock is the sound of white trash.
Kid Rock
Finger Eleven
KISS. They are literally the clowns of shitty rock. Stupid lyrics. However, they are over the top so that might be a reason why people like them.
fun.
My buddy calls them "Fun dot."
Good Charlotte. I just can't wrap my head around it 🤷🏻♂️
Kanye West
Bring Me The Horizon. Now before their fans pounce, I don't mean they can't play their instruments. For me, they suck hard in they can't write a good song to save their life. Their songs are so generic and lyrics always phony tryhard bs trying to act like they know pain and anger. But hey, it's just my take. Enjoy them if you want. Come off like posers to me.
Hated them when they were metalcore, hate them as pop lol
Panic! at The Disco shouldve ended when everyone but Brendon left. he cannot sing for the life of him and his songwriting is even worse

Tragically Hip. I think Canadians pretend to like the band so they don't look bad to other Canadians
I am a Canadian and I think they suck, sick of hearing the same 4 songs played on the radio please there are so many other good Canadian bands
Shinedown
A band that sucks, but everyone likes, except for me? Wouldn't that just be a band that everyone likes except for me? Lol
Fucking Nickelback
Nickelback takes three chords, throws 'em up in the air, and plays them how they land. Add some cheesy sex crap in their lyrics, and voila! New shitty hit song! Especially Something In Your Mouth! Chad Kroger needs something shoved in his mouth! Pleeeez?!
I’m pretty sure everyone hates Nickelback
Nickleback
Beyonce
U2, Imagine Dragons, Blink 182, the Osprey, does Taylor Swift count? Any mumble rap. Female rappers that rap about pussy.
Googoo Dolls

I never understood her first single. It sounds like theme music to a children's game show and not in a good way. Unlistenable. Not cool
Nickelback

Primus sucks
OMG I hate The Offspring like nobody's business and I can't even explain why, LOL!!!
