took two months for this thread to j_mp the sh_rk

ok holy SHIT @ that 5 Seconds of Summer video..... I'm going to the store, I need a drink

I mean, I thought Chainsmokers was pretty terrible, but it's at least a kind of terrible that makes sense to me...?

also, I am very amused that the 5 Seconds of Summer youtube comments appear to consist entirely of haters labeling them a 'boy band' & teen girls refuting the allegation with "nuh-uh, they play their own instruments!!!" -- is rockism returning thru the back door?!

I saw no indication in the minute of that video I got through before self-loathing set in that they can play the instruments the props department supplied for them.

might also be a candidate for Songs in which the speaker is unwilling or unable to make consistent use of personal pronouns , given the idiotic way the chorus shifts from "she looks so perfect" to "your lipstick"/"your name"/"your ripped skinny jeans"

Video's p hot tho

it would be hotter if the band appeared in women's underwear

I ws thinking it'd be hotter if they didn't appear at all, but either way'd be fine

It is very post-Blink 182/Sum 41.

the idiotic way the chorus shifts from "she looks so perfect" to "your lipstick"/"your name"/"your ripped skinny jeans"

I watched a Stevie Nicks/Dave Stewart doc the other night on Netflix, and she said Lindsey gave her total hell about doing this in one of the songs on Say You Will.

heh. I've not gotten into Fleetwood Mac beyond the singles, but if I ever decide to start, Team Lindsey all the way

5 Seconds of Summer welcome dancing to their songs from fans of all sizes

the 5 seconds of summer song is a legitimate hit now in AUS

If you could travel back in time and kill the members of Moss Icon, would you?

"I liked it better when my car had sound." [Shaves head, annoyed]
You mean it's not satirical?!

Ugh. I remember being exposed to this song last year when I accidentally heard it on the soundcloud page that Janelle Monae's QUEEN was put on.

Oh my God they are actually named Tyler and Josh. Please delete Earth.

Did old people in the '90s react to something like, say, March of the Pigs the same way I react to twenty one pilots??

I have been meaning to make a thread for a while on the godawful overly-rhymed pop music of this weird post-hip-hop zeitgeist that seems to be forming, but "Car Radio" was definitely the missing Exhibit A

for all their obvious stylistic differences, 21 Pilots and Ed Sheeran are united by the "every line must include at least one internal rhyme!" ethos, which I assume* is a direct result of growing up on hip-hop... cuz they're probably not getting it from Cole Porter

at least Linkin Park had the good sense to use bad rapping sparingly for contrast, rather than making it the main course

* because I did the same thing when I started to write lyrics

... anyway, the thing that makes 21 pilots unlistenable to me is that he's rapping over a straight 4/4 track sequenced on a computer, rather than a funky swung drum loop sampled from some old record. the part where it goes full-on rave at 2:50 almost comes as a relief in this context

Something about that 21P song draws from bad poetry slam style.

ya I was trying to stay away from slam poetry because it's not an artform I've followed particularly closely, but my point is that "bad slam poetry" rappers ten years ago, like Sage Francis or Saul Williams (nb I kinda dug Saul Williams) made music that was still recognizably hip-hop, rather than garbage electronica

I was under the impression that latter day Weezer had to do this trend of over rhymed music.

Saul Williams frequently has something to actually say, though. This kid thinks it's the end of the world because someone jacked his car radio.

I like that he's sitting on the floor shaving his head over it

The whole "shaving your head to show devastation" thing is more effective if you don't look like you've done it before in the last month or two.
