This is the thread where we never listen to Imagine Dragons

hey they are playing in SF at the Warfield tomorrow

Send your worst enemies there.

XXXstillhaven'theardthemXXX

According to my data, if you don't want to hear Imagine Dragons you might also want to not hear Neon Trees, Young the Giant, Walk the Moon, Grouplove, AWOLNATION, Fun., Dan Reynolds, the Naked and Famous, Of Monsters and Men and Matt & Kim. And some emerging songs you might want to avoid discovering right now include "House of Gold" by Twenty One Pilots, "Wilderness" by Ra Ra Riot, "Choice Mountain" by Everything Everything, and "Rootless" by Youngblood Hawke. And along with Everything Everything come Django Django and Mother Mother.

I accidentally heard some of this crap today and they sound like shitfucks.

proper lol to this .. i am soooo using the word 'shitfucks' for the rest of my life ..

I thought Mother Mother were only known in Canada.

ID's "Radioactive" and AWOLNATION's "Sail" are virtually identical.

Imagine Gonad Migraine Dragons

I'm just going to pretend that they are the Soup Dragons and continue not listening to them

ID's "Radioactive" and AWOLNATION's "Sail" are virtually identical.

as someone who hates the former and loves the latter i object

Imagine Dragons = The Lumineers + Maroon 5

Maybe this should be a rolling thread where each week we pick somebody new to not listen to. Because what shows our shared love of music more than self-righteous ignorance of anything that gets popular or unselfconscious, right?

shitfucks

new single?

so imagine dragons are not a soaring, vaguely christian power metal band with sideways haircuts? i am hugely disappointed in this thread.

I dunno, I've never heard them.

me neither. the dream is alive.

I refuse to consider listening to a band with this shit a name. Unless, as Contenderizer says, they were power metal.

"The group's name is an anagram, with the original words known only to the members of the band."

Intrigue!

Also… Mormons!

The wiki used to say what the mystery name was and it's, no kidding, Gonad Migraines

I would be happy to contribute to them feeling that, on a regular basis.

oh my god their new song incorporates SUBLIME influences

i wish i was kidding. it's on the iron man 3 soundtrack

I haven't listened to Imagine Dragons or the Lumineers or Mumford and Sons or Philip Philips or whatever. I feel very blissful in my ignorance.

or songs from the dragon's point of view about how girls always end up going out with asshole knights who treat them badly

Ive heard Radioactive. With the grohl sounding 'ready to rock you' chorus, they sound like a foo fighters tribute. Listening on the radio without paying too much attention at first, i thought this was the Foo Fighters's latest single. lol. Im betting they are big fans of grohl. Not that he's had much amazing input since his debut. The FF are too commercialized now, and im sure this band will be too. Not that the band will mind. Radioactive is a pretty good track but nothing that original or inspirational. In a cowell led music industry thats spitting out more generic rubbish now than ever, thats nothing to be shocked about XD

shit. i kinda wanted to see that movie......

I finally heard this song and it's fucking hilarious.

in the ott, histrionic way that Muse are

"it's time"? "radioactive"?

(like the former, hate the latter personally)

latter. oh no would I actually choose to listen to it, but it cracked me the fuck up when I heard it unexpectedly

lol this post/display name

When will Radioactive stop rising on the chart? Up to #3 after 47 weeks.

Right now it's on track to go past number one, which would be the first time in history a song has done that.

My least favorite lyric from this song is

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus

Okay that tragic cover video.

why the fuck do i have to imagine the dragons

just show me a fucking dragon

Hey! Look - here they are!

http://www.indiesounds.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/IMAGINE-DRAGONs.jpg

chipotle

looks like somebody decided we need a new nickelback

my girlfriend sometimes trolls me by sending me links to youtubes of really popular songs that I (a) have never heard and (b) she knows i will hate. she hasn't gotten around to this band but has trolled me with old crow medicine show, mumford & sons, and that anna kendrick thing among others. of all of the youtubes she's sent me the only one I could listen to all the way through was the OCMS one which I felt was mostly terrible but not offensively so. however if i had heard it every day for a few years I'd probably feel differently. anyway.

ok wow this song is bad

Yup.

Heard Radioactive on Fri, it's boring nasty bad, not funny bad. Blergh.

Dragon #3 looks like if someone made a troll doll of middle aged vince neil.

i think i might've listened to these by accident once but i can't remember so i'm still good

fuuuuuck theeeeese guuuyyyys

For the record I think they might be a cross between Styx and Brokencyde, with classic 80s fighting fantasy cover artwork.

this band is very popular and actually well-liked by those who listen to them. i understand that it is unbelievable to these writer folx that anyone could actually like this band (really, i get it, they truly are terrible) but idk why this narrative, that such an act is in reality broadly hated and can only have reached broad exposure thru sheer force on the part of record companies, still gets traction. it wasn't true for creed. it wasn't true for nickelback. it won't be true for the next one.

I guess this is growing up

its sort of impressive the way they manage to incorporate every single terrible pop rock trend from this decade - mumford-esque twee folk pop, really clunky dubstep integration, terrible sing-rapping, etc

and they're from Vegas!

The one good thing I will say about Imagine Dragons is that the lead singer has been an activist for LGBTQ youth within the Mormon church.

This is also the thread where we never listen to Sleep Token. Who tf are Sleep Token, why do the kids love them, and can we send them back?

Imagine Tokens

haha

jesus, they've been around for 6+ years?

still never knowingly heard this band fwiw

still get them mixed up with twenty one pilots

Thunder! Feel the thunder! STOMP STOMP STOMP! literally music for ages 6-12

― rip van wanko, Friday, January 11, 2019 4:43 PM (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

Except surely ages 6-12 have made it about farting, so small point for the youth of America

― macropuente (map), Friday, January 11, 2019 4:51 PM (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

if a kid could perfectly fart those three stomps, i would be impressed

― rip van wanko, Friday, January 11, 2019 4:56 PM (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

i was googling around for 'thunder' fart memes, as one does on memorial day, but i only found a version of the 'believer' video with fart noises added in the background. anyway i'd never seen the video and the boxing is very homoerotic!
