I am so pumped to hear "it has to start somewhere", "Ihateit", "sink with you", and "no frame". I have been hearing nothing but good things about all 4 of those.
Watching the music video actually got me into the song more, I already was fine with it but it had more of an impact on me with the video. Also I SUPER dig Spencer with blonde hair. I've said it before but I'm so, so happy he got outta the white guy dreads phase.
Of course! However, what's the motive behind dropping in with umbrella statements such as "Super super boring. Aaron sucks lol"? Frustration? You can totally be disappointed, but offer critique of your ambivalence a little bit. What annoys me is when an opinion paints a personal attack on the artist, for their art; comes off like a dismissive Youtube comment section. At least throw in a few words needed to show differentiation between the two. @ChiliTacos I'm sorry for being trite. What specifically don't you enjoy about Aaron?
lol saying you think a song is boring is "youtube comment" level but posting a shitty gif dismissing is is A-OK. quality poster.
I think people get fairly “YouTube-y” on both sides pretty frequently around here, and I’m sure I’m guilty of it myself, but I feel like it gets called out less when it’s more positive.
Yeah I watched the video. I didn't care for Spencer's singing in the song either to be fair, but when he came on in the bridge I just rolled my eyes. Not a fan of his voice at all anymore. Mostly his voice. It just doesn't jive with me. Used to be a big fan but not anymore. His drumming is fine, but I think we saw that UO drumming can be even better with someone else behind the kit.
It's just funny how everyone can say even less than I did in my comment when they have something positive to say, but anything negative gets trashed and labeled as a youtube-y comment. And if adding in an lol or haha makes something youtube-y then idk.
This is what bothered me about that comment. Turns out you can criticize art without putting down the artist like that. Who knew???
It's not the lol or haha that made it youtube-y. "Aaron sucks" is not particularly good criticism, and honestly adds nothing to the conversation.
But neither do "this is good" or "didn't care for it at first, now I like it!". I did what everyone else does on the internet, stated how I feel about it. If anyone took what I said as "Aaron is a terrible human being who should give up music" then idk, leave the internet or something. Not saying that's how you took it, but it just seems like people are offended.
Nah it was a cheap YouTube quality comment, the rest of what you said was fine. It's super ok to not like the song.
