This is the thread where we never listen to Imagine Dragons

^ this song (Anna Kendrick's Cups, not imagine dragons, obvs) is being taught in our nation's schools. My 4th-grader brought it home with him and this is the rhythm that's been driving our weekend.

i had no idea that that horrible kingdom come song i've been hearing absolutely everywhere and hating 24/7 is by them, what a disgusting piece of shit jfc

I have just knowingly listened to Imagine Dragons for the first time. They are rotten.

Seeing them on Saturday Night Live. Ugh, except for guest Kendrick Lamar.

2nd song was even worse-- the worst aspects of '90s and 2000s era commercial rock

not my style of rock

"Imagine Dragons tie a vaunted Billboard Hot 100 record this week, as "Radioactive" logs its 76th week on the survey. The sum ties the mark established by Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" in 2008-09."

this is some achievement.

despite my best efforts, i've heard this band before. it's pretty grim, this nu-grunge.

well, this live review might have made it all worth it:

haha mainstream pop fans amirite

this band is horrible

not a fan of them but shit like "Although the audience was young, the amount of children present proves that the average Imagine Dragons fan is an enlightened and advanced being -- as this is a serious band of serious musicians, most certainly only capable of being understood by adult intellectuals" come on

i thought there were lots of funny lines but i guess i don't really give a shit about the message or w/e

That review certainly seems a good fit for the thread title

kendrick thing at the grammys made me break edge :(

then i ended up seeing them on SNL ;_;

it was all over for me then

I'm still pure I think. People were talking about them at work today though.

fly away tyler, never look back....it's too late for me

everyone who thinks they haven't heard them has heard "demons" a million times

bet you five bucks I haven't heard a note of it

since i'm damaged goods & will die broke and alone i'm listening to this demons song now

i don't think i heard it before

but i did see them on SNL so they probably did this if it's a big hit

this is so gross

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

I was trying to figure out where this venue "ShitFuck's" was, and it took me a couple of tries before I realized Shakey Mo meant San Francisco.

give it a spin and see!

gd it my laptop was on mute and it still got in my head

this band is the worst

i would love to live in the head of that reviewer for just a few minutes.

(it's a parody)

lol xp = city pages review has to be an elaborate put-on, right?

it's extended sarcasm #normcore-level wanking

makin' fun of the squares, eh? I'll show him and listen to imagine dragons.

Hello, I am currently listening to Etron Fou Le Loublan.

i had no idea it was even possible to miss the 'point' of that review, it was ladled on pretty thick

i can't remember what song these guys do and what songs monsters and men do but they are all slightly post-apocalyptic sounding chanty anthemic things. when I turn on the radio these days it's like being at a nazi rally there's so much chanting and shit going on. there I said it.

it's like, write an alternative rock radio hit in two minutes: chant chant chant whistle whistle whistle chant chant chant whistle wee wee

should I write songs like this? maybe I would sell more than five records if I did.

If Imagine Dragons = Mackerelmore, does Drake = Dave Mathews Band?

if you watch nba basketball it's been near-impossible to escape this band (not sure about this demons song, but still ...)

i am a-ok with that concert review, too.

Holding the audience captive with their intense stage presence, the Naked and Famous swayed with the sort of intensity only witnessed at the city's finest topless bars in North Minneapolis

lol

My roommate was playing this at the minimum level on her laptop (like one bar above the complete mute of the mac sound level) and I thought she was playing like, a broadway soundtrack

Oh no, they're being cited as an influence. This is from a NEEDTO BREATHE email press release:

MTV praises the bands "thunderous folk-rock" and adds "the South Carolina natives have managed to infuse the contemporary, chest-thumping rock styling's of Imagine Dragons with the old-school, down-home goodness of a group like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ... wrapped up in an ethereal, woodsy, Bon Iver

also one of the biggest alt hits of the last few months sounds like a carbon copy of ID's first hit "It's Time"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y66j_BUCBMY

Ugh, that American Authors song has got to be one of the most god-awful hit singles in recent memory (perhaps even more unbearable than "Radioactive", which is quite an achievement)

On a side note, will somebody please fucking kick "Radioactive" off the Hot 100 already

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Am49EujdNg&feature=youtu.be

maybe they sing in a made-up dragon language full of guttural grunts and hissy sounds

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