Bands that are cool to hate

Bonham did the same thing, and look at that guy.
I personally like the White Stripes, though there are better bands who do the same thing. Whether it be the brother-sister duo gimmick (Firey Furnaces) or the bluesy thing (The Kills).
And as for Good Charolette. I hate them because I hate their music. Just because I don't like a rock band doesn't mean I don't like rock. There's a pretty fat line between a genre and a band, you know.

They're also really laid back and chill in person. Every time I've seen them headlining a show, they've hung outside the venue and talked with random fans before the show. On the other hand, most hipsters are total assholes and won't be seen in the near vicinity of anyone or anything they deem unworthy.
Savor the irony.

--- Quote from: Spike ---First, I do not see how it is possible to hate the Bravery.

How about they and the Killers ripped off the new-wave sound of the 80's without adding anything of their own to it. Even though The Bravery's drummer went to my high school, I don't really like The Bravery. I don't hate them either, though.
The same goes for The Killers.
heretic:
i never know what's cool anymore.
actually, it seems i tend to hate what's cool, but then again i guess that's cool huh?
what a convoluted topic, and druid, i was put off to everything you said the minute you said "i'm guessing he's into metal because he hates pop-punk" (paraphrased) a generalization like that really makes me not want to listen to you anymore....
plus you like pop-punk ;)
P.S. i had never heard of the Bravery before i saw them on Conan O'Brian. i knew not whether they were cool or not, but i did not like them. they seemed astoundingly generic to me.
Merkava:
Like Louis XIV, they aren't "favorite band list bait" because of the way they don't add anything new and interesting, but they do make fun songs.
