Worst band of the year 2015

[casecandy]

Ugh fuck. When someone thinks alt country=Nicklecrack you should be morally obliged, as well as legally protected in doing so,to reconstruct their obviously faulty thought process with a tyre iron.

I literally don't understand this comment. Can you break it down for me.

(In Canada, we call Nickelback, our most shameful cultural embassadors, "Nickelcrack" or even "Theory of a NickelCreed")
(Are you referring to Nickel Creek? Because Chris Thile is one of the world's best musicians, please don't even go there)

[D.o.S.]

No offense but fuck you!

This is the most canadian thing said on a forum with quite a few canadians in recent memory.

RETURN OF THE BUTTHURT.

ILF you are officially banned from talking about music until you can not get so butthurt whenever someone so much as mentions a band.
Mods, ACTIVATE.
Initiate lockdown on the music discussion forum, effective immediately.

How am I doing the same thing? I pointed out that you wrote off people's totally valid reasons for hating on a band based on things outside the music.

I don't care why you like against me. I'm telling you why I hate them. For reasons other than 'you cray cray'.

Should be my album title TBH

[Iommic Pope]

Dude I meant Nickelback.
And do I really further refine or clarify my intent with that statement?

They fucking suck and anyone who thinks they are alt country needs their skull caved.
I thought this was a universal truth, known and not spoken by all sentient beings?

I think you're writing off my totally valid reasons for liking a band. Maybe it's not the same thing at all. I'm pretty buzzed on hard iced tea right now.

But seriously, you cray

Read the thread, cc. He was replying to my comment.

Pope: I honestly don't think they intended to sound like that. I really think they thought they were being "fresh" and "revolutionary" in their approach to country or something. Just self-absorbed LA trust fund kids that were really in their own little bubble. I just always found it weird that some people never explore music or go to shows and just instantly think they know everything/make gold everytime (in the Yanni sense) because of what they read in Spin (does that still exist?).

[D.o.S.]

I am saying it is a bad record with even worse fans, yes. Complete self congratulatory horseshit filler for pop punk sex pests who think they're like 'totally like political, and making a difference!' by listening to it.

No offense but fuck you! You're doing exactly the same thing you got mad at me for. That's not at all why I listen to the record. I prefer the band's current, more moderate politics. I listen to it so I can pump my fist in the air and sing AND JUST LIKE JAMES, I'M DRINKING IRISH TONIGHT and MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARY, THERE IS HOPE FOR US

Worth noting also that it's "mary there is no hope for us," which is decidedly different and much more Floridian than the version proposed above.

I don't know about Spin, but you had me at Yanni.

Oh okay cool

+1 then

I thought maybe you were dissing Nickel Creek

Literally who the fuck would cite Nickelback as being alt-country

Near-universal distaste for the band aside, their genres are post-grunge, hard rock, and their radio format is modern rock

Alt-country is like Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Ryan Adams, Bonnie Prince Billy, Drive-By Truckers, Dawes, Bright Eyes, Lucero, Whiskeytown, etc., etc., yes?

This was a typo.

No doubt it exposes some deeply Canadian truth about me.

I would just hate for you to get some chest ink that was wrong or something.

And I saw Against Me last summer. Only because they played before Boris. This drunk lady, my wife, and I had a long conversation about how awful it was before Boris came on (and we had avoided most of the show trying to find management to see why cola was outlawed from the show because of a stance against High Fructose Corn Syrup, but they sold Red Bull...even got some of the vendors to question because they wanted to bring their organic cane sugar sodas...masking event sponsors with political activism haha but yea, kind of a boring festival). They are a terrible band that marketed on a little bit of political lyrics around the time all that stuff was popular. So you like them, CC, but not everyone has to like them too.

I'm not getting into another genre debate though. It was just a fun story.

Just realized I am blocked maybe? haha. cool
