Fun Stuff > BAND
Panic!AtTheDisco
Melodic:
--- Quote from: xeyexlinerx ---Well, I like them.
I don't think the lead singer is 'fit' neither although I wouldn't call him ugly. But seeing as I'm gay I can't really comment lol.
Still, I like their music. I find it catchy. and dancable =D

Again, my main complaint with them is that their music is shallow. Catchy, yes, but not inspiring. The same stuff that people crave: they're being controlled by the industry, and, like all pop acts today, are afraid to pave their own road because some people might not agree with it.
They'll continue to listen to what the scene wants, and then DO what the scene wants, and they will never sound original until they explore their artistic abilities.
Imagine, for example, if there was a sudden, tremendous rebirth of cubism: every artist that was "with it" would abandon creating personal, astounding artwork, and would instead make cubist pieces of art that looked exactly like all the other painters', but since cubism is popular, so is his artwork. It could be the worst painting ever painted, but it would still be popular because the style of art is "in".
Indie music is like indie painters: they are unafraid to take their own path and create music that, while not everyone will like it, they are doing what THEY want to do.
Johnny C:
In the same way that bands like Mr. Big signalled an event horizon and logical terminus in the evolution of eighties hair metal into unabashed pop, Panic! At The Disco represents emo with all of its punch, vibrance and electricity (which emo at its best unarguably has) replaced by pop-song instrumentation and complete vapidity.
What I'm trying to say is, they confuse wordiness with intelligence, and they're barely a band, to boot. They represent a complete fallacy, and my music needs some substance, dammit.
casull:
I enjoy their music.
I don't know their names, don't know what their album covers look like, don't know anything but their song titles. Their songs are rather short and suffer from made-for-radio-catchiness from what I've heard. I would be interested in hearing an album from then a few years from now when they aren't new and don't have to worry so much about selling records.

I agree with you on that perception. Though I would never let the music industry control me or place me into a label. My music taste varies alot and I'm happy to give every type of music a chance.
Kai:
So says every teenager on the planet.
And then they go and listen to their Bob Marley greatest hits album just to show how diverse their musical taste is, get through like, three songs of it/wait until the person they are talking to is gone, and then turn it off.
I am a cynical fuck.
