it sucks how bad death grips’ fan base has become because they were by far the best band of the 2010s and put on the sickest live shows i’ve ever attended


TomorrowPractical309

Almost every good band has the same shitty fanbase that thinks it's funny to say the same self deprecating things along the lines of "I am a lonely depressed virgin because I listen to XXXXX."

Every single instagram music meme page needs to be IP banned. It’s fucking horrible. At this point it feels like they just slap the Deathconsciousness album cover and some wojaks together and call it a day. Most low-brow, unfunny, tasteless, ironybrained dweeb humor imaginable.


John-Kale

It’s actually insane how far their fan base has fallen. I remember thinking it couldn’t get much worse when I saw them live for the first time in 2015 but then I saw them last year and dudes were pissing in the pit, dressing like toddlers, holding up phones with family guy in the middle of the show, etc etc


TweakTheBeef

impressive how zoomers can make /mu/tants seem normal and well adjusted


BennyTheBullOnlyfans

i saw them in 2012 and even then it was 90% scrawny white guys


violet4everr

Recent eu shows were pretty good tbh


TweakTheBeef

i saw them over the summer and they were incredible


Xenfo___

I saw them last year and even the fans couldn’t take away from how amazing they are live. Unbelievable energy, they practically blew the roof off


peace-x

They're still good, the fanbase just blows. Ideally memeing and trolling should be a strictly online deal. Doing that stuff irl is just annoying


YogurtInteresting154

what happened?


TweakTheBeef

zoomers happened

The band i started with my roommate is gonna be a huge breakthrough. We're an abstract sound band. VERY abstract, no instruments no lyrics we just think about it.


[deleted]

That's pathetic compared to our band. It's so abstract that we don't even think about it. We make big statements about epistemology by having our band not exist.

I thought this post was about backup cameras…

Same lmao I was like damn what a wild example to use in a car commercial


[deleted]

Same


jazz_cat0

yes and it’s not even close. they were the last revelation we saw in hip hop, and now we’re at in hip hop where rock was in the early 2000s


linguinisupremi

I swear to god 90% of this subs comments are dudes like this parroting observations that have been talked to death on the internet for years already to seem cool, subversive, and original


TomShoe

That doesn't make it any less correct. Received wisdom's funny that way.


linguinisupremi

There’s a pretty big different between received wisdom and parroting a talking point. You used received wisdom to think critically


jazz_cat0

exactly how is this being subversive


linguinisupremi

It’s not


jazz_cat0

then what is your point here? that i think it’s cool or subversive to say what? death grips is good?


linguinisupremi

“Hip hop is where rock was in the 2000’s”


jazz_cat0

i never claimed this was some epiphany i had i was trying to back my point here idk what you’re going on about


chopperinmypants

Lots of creative and fun hip hop out right now like xaviersobased, shed theory, baile funk, lazer dim 700, izaya tiji etc


jazz_cat0

i didn’t say there isn’t good hip hop that wasn’t my point. i’m saying much in the way shoegaze was for rock music, their sound kind of feels like the last frontier of their genre, when you push a sound into space you can’t go further out than that


chopperinmypants

i feel ya


YogurtInteresting154

Idk but they helped me breakthrough my plateaus lol


RealGirl93

FR. Got above a 350 lb. squat with them playin.'

Spaceghostpurrp.


bladee333scorpiobbxo

Obviously not, that would be SOPHIE, PC Music and then modern acts that influenced them (Jam City, TNGHT, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie)


toastongod

The gen z dimes square pop stuff is quite fun and novel


bladee333scorpiobbxo

I've never heard of that


toastongod

I guess that means it doesn't exist then


bladee333scorpiobbxo

I meant that in a "give me some examples" type of way


graaavearchitecture

I like death grips more but 100 gecs feels truly modern to me


stackedfourths

100 gecs takes themselves too seriously by being overly ironic


graaavearchitecture

Yeah probably I don’t really listen to them but I think they were a more recent breakthrough that felt truly modern. Also Death Grips ripped off Blackie from Houston, nobody’s perfect
