in other news, as has probably been mentioned previously--one's opinion of DMB is slightly different if one was a university student in the mid-late 90's. Then, you'd have EVEN MORE reason to hate him, cuz of those two fucks on yer dorm floor who'd play the record over and over and OVER AND FUCKING OVER AGAIN...

"hike up your dress a little more/ and show your world to me:" is a funny line. dont you guys like humor in your music? do you have to really take music so seriously? its only music. I like music as much as the next guy but why do you hate a band so much. At least they play their instruments and write their own songs. Unlike those Pop idol 'artists'.As for yuppies /lawyers/accountants liking them so what? Is that a reason to hate a band?Why not hate the overhyped Nirvana, the WORST thing to ever happen to music. They were rubbish at their instruments, Kurt couldnt sing , He was a junkie. They spawned a million of horrible 'indie & alternative' bands meaning an entire generation missed out on bands whoc ould actually play!

I'm trying to figure out what group came out in 1983 that was more talented than DMB. I'm hoping it was Kajagoogoo.

Haha since when did being able to sing or play instruments matter? Give me Nirvana over DMB,Creed, Limp Bizkit et al any day.
Dan, maybe he meant Wham?

We shouldn't have to have *good* reasons for hating them - just *many* reasons.

The funny thing is, this thread didn't even start as a "Let's bash DMB" thread -- it was "Let's try to figure out WHY people hate DMB."

not necessarily. for example, this truism has been finely articulated:
Anyone who calls your genitals "a world" is clearly a creep and pig and will never go down on you unless under extreme duress...
indeed.
and here's a related truism: one of the unpublished & indirect side effects of Paxil is that it makes your jaw ache.
