Looking back, what's the biggest bullshit, musically speaking, that you fell for in the 00s

New Pornographers.

― EZ Snappin

this makes me sad.

sort of.

the average age of things mentioned here probably tends towards earlier in the decade (2003/4ish) rather like the best album polls, love and regret following a similar timeline

a lot of these are artists who established a following and then disappointed them (sigur ros, the streets maybe too)

I'm sorry - I wanted to like them, bought the first tow albums, realized except for parts of a couple of songs - not even one whole song - they did nothing for me. Zippo.

xp

New Pornographers

that's just trolling

first NP is pretty nice, there's some good songwriting on it. Never listen to it anymore. Also never understood why they had such a wide appeal, they really seemed to blow up for no particular reason that I could discern.

catchy tunes iirc

if you haven't heard Twin Cinema, i recommend doing so

btw "just not that into them" /= "bullshit of the 00s"

Electric Version's the one to hear, Shakey Mo, if you haven't

itt h8in urselfs wtf imo

them being the future and savior of indie pop, a supergroup for the cardigan set = bullshit of the 00s

xp i think Sigur Ros and The Streets haven't been mentioned because their respective albums (I imagine you're referring to ageatis and OPM) were so well liked, as opposed to freak-folk which perhaps swayed people on a buzz (or evan a novelty) factor. OPM and Agaetis made relationships with their fans a lot deeper I feel.

Big Dada/Ninja Tune/Quannum but let it be known that i still bump blackalicious, latryx, roots manuva, herbaliser on the regular

that stuff is all pretty much first-tier and still pretty much dope.

oh yeah, i def fell for the Streets, oof

OPM = ()??

but lol @ anyone who fell for Sigur Ros. whadda crock of shit

lamp u fat cocksucker don't get so aggrieved

lol if u cant tell y ur post is entirely loathsome & shameful then best end things now here 2day

"YOU SAY LOOOOOOOOO"

"omg i'm crying"

I guess I fell for the Streets - I bought one album, which I convinced myself I sorta liked for a short period of time.

"crying in my own language"

i love that record, man. and it's "YOUUUUU SILOOOOOO OHHHHH FIIIII LOOOOOO" x1000 iirc

enjoy the things u like assholes iirc

"help, i am a whale with a guitar, i am crying"

"my heart is heavy and full of sorrow, i am a whale-man, taste my blubber in a made up language"

ahahaha

the early streets albums are still charming.

there's so much here that i could talk about, i'm sort of stuck as to where i should begin.

"my heart is heavy and full of sorrow, i am a whale-man, taste my blubber in a made up language"

hav no idea what this is but i think id bee into it?

those are Street lyrics

do your future self a favor and don't delete/sell everything. taking a scorched earth approach to your own taste usually leads to more remorse than listening to something you later dislike

itt h8in urselfs wtf imo

^agree

not falling for anything is a much worse way to go imo

I "fell" for Sigur Ros - still think it sounds great tbh, personal fave being the title-less album

lamp i don't know who you are, i was amused at yr taking offence to my fairly innocuous if slightly smug first post
i wouldn't worry about it

Dizzee Rascal was one of the best rappers to emerge last decade.

sincerely regret the hollertronix/ed banger phase

fucking uffie ffs

although tbh i still do like some of it

Supergrass are the best pop band on the planet

dizzee rascal, the fiery furnaces

― I won't vote for you unless you acknowledge my magic pony (Shakey Mo Collier)

yep, it is great. Agaetis, Takk..., and Hvarf/Heim are excellent, but i'm less keen on their 2008 record, and haven't heard Riceboy Sleeps or Jonsi's record yet

xp was waiting for someone to mention 'blog-house'. heheheh that was fun/terrible

ksh as a former nu-metal fan would you say any of that music is worth preserving

Luckily I'm a little older, so I didn't fall for anything that embarrassed me like some of my nineties Britpop crushes would. The Streets probably comes closest.

nu metal > sigur ros for entertainment value actually.

dunno y yall have to hate things like it represents who u are all of a sudden, feel like u r letting the puritanical constraints of acceptable taste inhibit and restrict ur urges.

i feel like i don't like bands who cry and play bows with guitars and make up their own language all at once in one band. it's cool that they do that, but it's just not my thing, and i feel like i should feel free to make fun of them, because they are whales.

u r free to be as douchey as u want but like that is not my issue tbh

^^^ used to say this a lot when I was in the closet.

i used to listen to Staind, Mudvayne, and whatever else the local modern rock radio played (Disturbed, etc.)

tried listening to Mudvayne again recently, and it was miserable. i'd probably still like some of the songs from Staind's Break the Cycle, and i like "Prayer" by Disturbed still, but eh

also, this isn't nu-metal, but i'll totally rep for that first Evanescence record. love Amy Lee's voice especially

i still like siger ros's first two albums, good for work or zoning out type stuff

but i was never a super fan or anything....
