That's pretty cool, the dude took two pretty subpar songs and made them into one subpar song.

kemon · « **Reply #4 on:** 20 Jul 2009, 15:35 »

i'm gonna have to give that a thumbs up. it's funny, however bad the songs are.

NotAFanOfFenders · « **Reply #5 on:** 20 Jul 2009, 16:20 »

This is way better than either of the two songs.

Josefbugman · « **Reply #6 on:** 20 Jul 2009, 16:31 »

Why the Nirvana disliking? Personally I don't mind much either way, but I always thought they were rather popular?

Still hilarious ofc.

jhocking · « **Reply #7 on:** 20 Jul 2009, 16:32 »

fuck you all, Smells Like Teen Spirit is the first song I ever liked.

Fucking hell. Does this mean that all you kids hate nirvana the same way I hated on Van Halen and Bon Jovi when I was your age?

NotAFanOfFenders · « **Reply #9 on:** 20 Jul 2009, 17:03 »

Van Halen are too hilarious to be hated.

Tiny text isn't terribly funny. You used the wrong form of 'too' there.
Also I don't like the way you smell.
And neither does your mom.
She mentioned that the other night.

I would like to apologize for my behaviour herein. I meant no malice by my actions. It was purely a physical thing.

Because it's hipster! "OMG I HATE NIRVANA THEY'RE OVERRATED AND THEY SUCK AND KURT COBAIN SHOULD DIE OH WAIT HE ALREADY DID LOL1!!!!!"

Nothx. I'm not a huge fan of Nirvana, but they fer sure don't suck, certainly not as bad as so many people claim they do.

Then again, it's probably a way of distancing yourself from all the CRAZY-arse Nirvana fangirls who wear Kurt sweaters and furiously ejaculate nonsense like "I LIKED GREEN DAY BEFORE THEY WERE SELLOUTS!1!1!11!!"

Slick · « **Reply #16 on:** 20 Jul 2009, 17:57 »

I ejaculated on Green Day before they were sell-outs.

wait what? There weren't any Kurt Cobain sweaters when I was in highschool, and he was actually recording music then.

Spluff · « **Reply #19 on:** 20 Jul 2009, 18:09 »

I dunno, I thought Nevermind would have been a pretty good album if it wasn't massively overproduced. I don't know what posessed them to take a relatively lo-fi, bare boned type band and then polish the fuck out of it. The overdubs were hugely unnecessary and detrimental to the album.

The whole grunge phase that followed probably didn't help either - by the time it was over, even the original albums and bands were played out.

That was me stereotyping the stereotypical stereotype of the stereotypical girl who stereotypically listens to nothing but Nirvana.

You should've said "It's a good thing Kurt Cobain killed himself so that Dave Grohl could go on and make the Foo Fighters."

Man that is kind of like saying "I am glad the Beatles broke up so that Paul could make Flaming Pie" if you are the kind of person who does not really like the Beatles that much

Sythe · « **Reply #25 on:** 20 Jul 2009, 19:31 »

I'm glad the Beatles broke up so Ringo could narrate "Thomas the Tank Engine". I mean, the Beatles were great and all, but guys, c'mon, Thomas. The. Motherfucking. Tank. Engine.

Johnny CANNOT STAND people NOT LIKING the THINGS HE LIKES.

Nirvana are dull as fuck, and overplayed to a ludicrous degree. I think Nevermind was on the CD changer in my school common room for a solid month once. Tedious music for tedious people. Kurt Cobain was a cool guy though, shame about him.

Also literally everything that other members of Nirvana have gone on to do has been absolutely execrable, apart from one or two Probot songs, which were ok.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #32 on:** 21 Jul 2009, 03:37 »

Aww ...

Nirvana did some worthwhile stuff. Nevermind s good and, honestly, that thing they did for MTV unplugged was great. A nice little wake, really.

But, yeah ... Foofighters suck. Anything ever touched by an ex member of Nirvana sucked, really.

Oh its a hip thing to mock a band that hasn't produced music in an age... okay.

Its sort of like the whole "I would like snow patrol if they weren't so commercial" thing isn't it? Like blaming "the man" for everything but being too lazy to do anything about it, or doing it to get girls.

öde · « **Reply #36 on:** 21 Jul 2009, 09:50 »

I would like Snow Patrol if they weren't so tedious.

Slick · « **Reply #37 on:** 21 Jul 2009, 09:57 »

I tend to avoid terms like 'commercial' as they weaken an argument by bringing with them charged/radicalizing preconceptions people carry towards them/their use.

P.S.: Oh god I always forget who Snow Patrol are until they come up here and then I look them up and remember I fucking hate snow patrol. They're a terribly tacky sentimental bullshit band.

Josefbugman · « **Reply #38 on:** 21 Jul 2009, 10:06 »

If you don't like them fine. I'm not saying everyone should, but when people say they don't like them because of some reason that isn't actually related to the actual music produced then what the heck?

It just strikes me as silly when they don't like a band for nothing to do with actual music produced. I mean I like bands most people with "taste" won't touch, but I like them anywhere.

Slick · « **Reply #39 on:** 21 Jul 2009, 10:18 »

See, I maintain that "they're too commercial" can actually be a valid argument relating to the quality of their music. I think they sound too commercial, they belong to a school of musical activity where their sound and message appears to be directly marketed towards a certain demographic (that being people who like tacky make-out music) and in this commercial approach they have failed to make meaningful or even entertaining music to me. Their production process reeks of the sound of blandly produced inoffensive commercially saleable music and this means I do not like it. I do not like it because I feel they are too commercial.

I would never enter an argument about snow patrol by saying they are too commercial, though, because someone will come along and talk about how I've just got a problem with the man and then mention something else negative about my character because of what they read into me by my choice of words. I'd much rather give a brief, concise argument than say they're sell outs.

Josefbugman · « **Reply #40 on:** 21 Jul 2009, 10:33 »

I don't really like make out music, but I like slowish stuff that I can work along to. I can see your reasoning but I still like them, and surely you yourself give music its emotional punch, as much as any musician does?

Slick · « **Reply #41 on:** 21 Jul 2009, 10:37 »

I don't really want to argue about the merits of snow patrol, I'd much rather just insult them, have you say I'm wrong, and then let us part furious at each other for being awful people.
What I really would argue though is that the argument 'they are too corporate' is not in and of itself a flawed argument or deserving of derision. That's all I'm saying.

Josefbugman · « **Reply #42 on:** 21 Jul 2009, 10:46 »

Fine sorry, getting hung up on specifics again, I do apoligise. I will accept that "too corportate" is an arguement, I would just prefer it if people would expand on it, instead of saying that anything corporate produced is evil. It would be better if there was some expansion of it.

BTW the original case was some who actually liked the music they did, but just said they were too "corporate"

Y'know, I only actually posted this thread our of irony, because by July 2009, I figured we'd be done with Rick Astley, and heck, even I'm tired of that song. Then it turned into a giant cluster@#$% of Hipster biases and elitist Indier-than-thou opinions that are ironically forced onto themselves just because something was popular, until it descended into something horrible where people decided to start arguing about obviously unrelated bands and derailing the thread until it's original purpose is totally lost among the wish-wash of scorn and BS. In retrospect, I should have posted this in the pointless thread.

In short, all I really meant to say was; GET OUT OF MY THREAD WITH YOUR VILE DISGUSTING QOTSA HATRED.
