Fun Stuff > BAND
The recent popularity of good bands.

Exactly. And if they can appreciate someone's efforts in putting out a great album like The Arcade Fire's, all the power to them!
One thing that absolutely IRKS ME TO DEATH about this forum, mainly the music talk part, is how freaking elitist you guys are about your music.
I like Stars. I like the Constantines. I like groups like Broken Social Scene, and I support local bands in my home cities. Somehow this makes me "cool" or whatever in ppl's eyes. But GOD FORBID that I EVER listen to a Coldplay song and ACTUALLY ENJOY IT.
Because that, according to all that I've ever come across here, would pretty much send me straight to music hell.

Bleeding heart my ass. I just think it's stupid that the most serious thing you have to get pissed about is someone liking the same music as you. Oh god forfuckingbid.

"I can't like it unless everyone else likes it for the same reason." Yeah, good reason. Also, the "they are ruining it for me so they shouldn't enjoy music I like" thing is so fucking lame.
--- Quote from: Hatebunny ---Indie's like a depressing label for bands that want to make it but can't, and everytime you call yourself an indie kid, it's like you're mocking their efforts, and willing them to fail!

I'm going to ignore the obvious troll, but...
It's pretty possible to make it big even on an independant label. A major label may be a quick in, but you get screwed if you're not really savvy.

I'm pretty sure Coldplay IS music hell.

Wow, I actually agree with sp2 also. Except the Sigur Ros thing.
I don't really want to defend Coldplay, but they are... inoffensive.
I say, more power to bands that get popular. Like Modest Mouse. I wouldn't have heard of them if it weren't for all the buzz about GNFPWLBN, since I don't listen to the radio and so never heard "Float On." Since I am also 100% cred-free, I just generally find out about bands as they get popular and then work my way back through the generally less accessible stuff from whatever it was that caused them to break through.
And the more people who like Blueberry Boat, the better. And I formed that opinion before I read the fucking Pitchfork review, so just don't even start with me.

false! I can continue to like it, but be pissed off because other people like it for the wrong reasons.
True! If someone's ruining my fun, I generally want them to fuck off. Like you for example. fuck off.
