Lots of people hating on Radiohead here. I fuckin love Radiohead so this really sucks. Now I need some new karaoke songs too ffs. Why couldn't they just be cool
I feel this so much these days. Like motherfucker why couldn't you just be cool? Better to be silent than open your mouth and be known for a fool. I don't look at celebrity news anymore because I'm running low on artists from my childhood.
Fun fact: the miku twitter account that made the original "shut up transphobe, i made Minecraft" joke that inspired this also made a tweet saying that you cant actually seperate Rowling's bigotry from the actual work like you can with Minecraft. Basically saying "Miku made x" isnt an excuse to engage in a work uncritically.
Now, as a Death of the Author guy with some remaining affection for HP from childhood, i do still find "Miku wrote Harry Potter" enjoyable. But i thought it was important to note.
well-adjusted people aren't going to out of the blue post about not liking some artist, but if that artist comes up in some context maybe i'll mention that [whoever] sucked anyway
simply because you don't fully understand the perspective doesn't mean it is dumb
for some people, heinous acts tend to taint and ruin the quality of something.
some types of nestle chocolate can be argued as quality, but they also use fucking child labor
further elaboration and admittedly i am being a dickhead here: if you can look past genocide and still rock out to raidohead without images of dead children and the hell blackened landscape that was 2 million+ people's homes immediately flooding your head, good on you i guess
Honestly I just grew up listening to them and singing them. I'm a hobbyist singer and Thoms vocal range and tone fits my voice perfectly. I've been singing Radiohead songs in my car and living room and in karaoke bars for like 15 years. It's not gonna be replaceable unfortunately.
I'll have to go back to everyone thinking I'm a weirdo by singing They Might Be Giants songs instead. NOBODY RUIN THEM FOR ME TOO FFS.
People make fun of me for being a DJ but EDM is all I've got left after the bands I grew up with keep getting rightfully cancelled
I also hate They Might be Giants. I don't think they did anything wrong, I just think they're the progeny of nerdy band kids being quirky and writing the Juno soundtrack. Radio head taught band geeks they could make pretentious and boring rock music.
I'm EDM neutral outside of goth shit, most is too outside of my range of taste to have any meaningful thoughts.
I sound like Robert Smith when I sing and it's hard to not do a fake British accent while doing so
Oh yeah I mostly love TMBG because of how fun they are to sing and how annoyed people get when you do. They're so nerdy and that's fun to me. I chose to lean into my nerdiness rather than shy away from it decades ago
You can hate TMBG if you want but if they’re not politically bad then, like, nobody cares, it’s kind of just your opinion. And like with all music, a really subjective on at that.
They have a fun song called Your Racist Friend which is about not tolerating your friend's racist friends, so that would at least suggest that they're OK
Noticing you seem very effected by fanbases and particularly which highschool cliques were into something between this and the Death Note thing. Personally i would advise against that type of thinking.
I've seen some death note and have overheard some amount of radiohead. I am a huge film and tb nerd and an even huge music nerd, Radiohead named themselves after a kinds bad Talking heads song for example. Death Note isn't gonna be my thing cause I'm not very anime and what I do enjoy there is a bit eclectic and odd, my favorite animes are Nichijou, Kino' Journey, Paranoia Agent, the first 3 seasons of Digimon and Medabots. As far as music goes, I've been deep into diy music since my early teens and still trade tapes etc. I know my weird music real well and radiohead don't do much for me, also when you're into music you go to shows and what is or was big affects who's around, radiohead made for worse crowds.
Are you not Nichijou pilled? It's uhhhhh...best description is Azumanaga meets Monty Python, Kino's Journey is like a awrene version of Twilight Zone with an androgynous lead who has like 53 guns at all times and a talking motorcycle. But mostly get on Nichijou, it's got the best vibe of anything, I guarantee you will become happy when watching. It's a positive absurdist comedy sketch shown with continuity? Like if Camus wasn't a bummer?
