Basically you want to be able to be rude with no one taking issue with it. Sorry that's not how things work.
there is nothing wrong with saying "blank band is bad/boring" but you better damn well expect some backlash if you're gonna make that statement. Usually the backlash is going to be "ok, well why?" "they are just bad" is a bad answer to that. It's fine, but why shit on a band someone loves? Do me a favor, next time someone says they love a band, and you have the desire to shit on said band, don't do it. You'll feel better after, trust me.
You can, you did, and it started three pages of conversation (and counting). Did you want people to just agree with your initial post or ignore it or what? For what it’s worth, I found La Dispute to be pretty “non descript” in relation to mwY at first. It wasn’t until I really spent time with their music that I found them to be really unique and dynamic.
"La Dispute is a legitimately bad band darling" this was pretty rude, as was this flippant dismissal of uh... everyone there after. Refusal or inability to think of how you effect the people around you isn't cool.
I also don’t think the vocal styles of mwY and LD are at all reminiscent of eachother Aaron is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaX100yyy more “singy”
I disagree completely. I legitimately dont want you to be mad though. You can ignore everything Ive said if it makes you feel better. Calling someones opinion a “bad take” is actually pretty rude though. Good thing Im not bothered by that personally. I wish I could be part of a message board that could say things are good or bad or boring without lighting a match and throwing it on to gasoline.
you can say whatever you want, but it would be naive to think people arn't going to stand up for bands that they love.
This is wild. The original comment was a response to someone else making an obvious joke, then others explaining why they think they’re bad, and then the other side flat out saying our opinions are wrong, swearing and threatening to get banned over said opinions, and then told to not voice our opinions at all. I don’t want people mad either, but it’s pretty ridiculous to not be able to have someone dislike something you like without flipping out over it.
Imo nobody talking bad on La Dispute was being rude. But yeah us that listen to the band will defend the band.
@Dinosaurs Dish @Your Milkshake Admittedly, La Dispute vocals are not what I listen to that band for. It’s the lyrics / stories. I really recommend (if you care) listening to Wildlife or Rooms while reading the lyrics and you’ll 100% be like “okay I get why people dig that”... but if not that’s okay, I probably wouldn’t either of a band I don’t like lol
unfortunately Im a dumbass who doesnt care about lyrics most of the time what are La Disputes most instrumentally interesting songs?
Hey everyone, I am directing the music video for "Julia" (Or Holy to the Lord on the Belles of Horses)" on Saturday, September 29th in the New York City area, venue TBD. It's a large ensemble scene set in the 1950's with a call back to a popular 80's film. The band will be in attendance. If you or anyone you know has availability and interest in being an extra please email: mewithoutyouvideo@gmail.com with your name, age, location, and photo of yourself. Thanks very much! Best, MPR
