The recent popularity of good bands.

--- Quote from: Patatat ---Brings a fleet of retards that claim they have been fans forever, when they don't know the difference between one song from the other. I am getting fucking tired of this.
Like with the Arcade Fire, kids are claiming they liked them before they were popular. Yet they have no fucking clue, what Us Kids Know was or the difference between the two.
Anyone, else sick of these things happening?
Its been happening with The Decemberists, The Weakerthans, and Iron & Wine alot lately too.
I swear to god if this happens with M83 I am going to be pissed, I'll shank someone.

Why does it matter so much how long a person has listened to a band for? Is that all you care about? Hearing a band before other people? Does that make the music worse, or any less relevant now that more kids listen to it? The music is the same. Who cares if kids who listen to The Killers now listen to The Arcade Fire. Do you even own their two previous albums before The Funeral?

It's because all these people are jumping on bands you really like, and it's because it's trendy. They don't have the same liking or affinity for the band that you do, and it irks you because you feel that your much liked band is not being appreciated properly.
At least that's how I see it. As I've said, not ever so likely to happen with most of my favourite bands.

Why would I be upset that a bunch of morons are listening to a favourite band of mine? That means that the wonderful music is actually being heard by more than a few thousand people and maybe opening some kid's mind musically. And it also means the band is actually probably making a living now. If you can get over your pride, it's a win win situation.

You have a point about the unbiased thing. Of course they are biased. What I meant was that if they are good (throwing bad producers out as completely useless and un-defendable) they are not biased by being as close to the music as you are to tell if it's any good.
My main argument though is that these companies are spending their money on you and yoru music, of course they want to make money. So in order for you to get your music out, you have to make the sacrifice of maybe having a producer.

Y'know what is awesome? One of my local radio stations now plays alot of music that I like. Which means a total of three awesome things:
(1) people I think deserve more money are now getting it.
(2) I can listen to kickass music in my car which does not have a CD player.
and last but not least!
(3) I can easily find out about new good bands.
...
So I'm listening to this band I've never heard before on the radio right now and I really like it. I don't know the bands name, nor the names of the members of the band and their biographies. But I'm still really enjoying this song! Isn't that crazy?!
maybe tomorrow I'll tell my friend about them so that we can both be excited about this band. and we might talk about them even though we haven't been fans since the lead singer was a fetus.
...is that really so wrong?
Enjoy the music you like. Enjoy the music other people like. Enjoy knowing about obscure bands. But stop trying to find more reasons that your better than everyone else. please.
