Thread 128344316

why do they sound like they're playing at the bottom of a well

>>128344316 (OP)
They had enough money to make their album not sound like shit too lol

arcade fire is the worst band of all time and the worst artist in any medium including the sciences and humanities

This album spawned an entire genre. What have you zoomie zoomies created?

>>128344401
>indie didn't exist before fucking 2004

what are you on about?

>>128344401
Stomp Clap Hey is not a genre anyone should be proud to claim responsibility for.

>>128344401
They just took shit like NMH and Of Montreal to sanitize it for radio play on the same stations that played fucking nickelback lol

>>128344412
David Bowie “inspired” indie rock with baroque elements
Even the pop music back then was just ripoffs of David Bowie
https://youtu.be/QvD6maGRh7c

>>128344316 (OP)
It was cool for your music to sound like shit back then. DIY / """indie""" aesthetics were very in at the time. Rich NYC nepo babies were who could've absolutely afforded to fund a studio-quality production were instead deliberately opting for potato quality, actively choosing to kneecap their art for the ~vibes~ in the same way that same generation of people were buying up shitty Holga cameras and using fuckass Instagram filters in all of their photos because they thought it looked cool. It didn't then, and it doesn't now.
However much you may hate millennials, I promise it's not enough.

Shout to my man Ulaan fighting the good fight

In what world is this album stomp clap hey?

>>128344615
earth

>>128344615
there literally isn't a single song where they don't stomp, clap and shout "hey!" at least once throughout

>>128344615
it’s not but it’s almost always an inspiration for stomp clap hey bands

>>128344620
You should probably listen to it some time.

>>128344401
The unicorns, a band that played with them at the same time deserves far more attention even if they only had one album

>>128344615
This board is filled with retards who think that any bands heavier than Radiohead are butt rock

>>128344630
They do in spirit

>>128344641
GOD no

>>128344645
Half of them listen to gay retarded dumb generic dance pop

>>128344401
rage

The decline of this band should be studied for future generations, their early albums were considered classics of the genre and now people barely care about them anymore

The first album used to be in top 50 on RYM and now it's 190th

>>128344675
because those albums aged poorly and cannot be enjoyed beyond 2015 and even that is pushing it

>>128344675
"Allegations" from a dumb twat retard will kill any band

>>128344630
No Cars Go is the only one I can think of

This album changed everything.
They put Canada on the map, simple as.
You had to be there, zoomer trannys. Keep voting for your favourite tranny on RYM, kek.

>>128344643
The unicorns were a millennial act. zoomers are in their 20s now.

>>128344684
Only dumb zoomers that want to be hip say this. Nothing aged poorly except gay zoomer pop

>>128344699
Plus you.

>>128344697
Doesn't matter who they are. They were way better than arcade fire and they were from the same place and played together in the beginning

>>128344689
I'm talking about on funeral specifically

>>128344690
imagine getting this emotional over a band that puts out lyrics like " hey / put the cell phone down for a while / in the night, there is something wild / I feel it it's leaving me" or " "I can't breathe / I can't see / MTV when are you coming for me" lmaoooo

>>128344690
stop trying to frame gay music as cool

>>128344699
ok grandma let's get you to bed. did you take your Metamucil?

>>128344721
His millennial ass was probably listening to shit like Korn and Linkin Park before that, you have to understand.

>>128344730
Your music is gay bullshit and its already dated lol. Thats why AI music is rising

>>128344714
>ok well at least the millennials created something. what have the zoomers created?
the unicorns
>no those are millennials too
doesn't matter.

>>128344684
Who do you think made better indie rock?

>>128344737
Im not the same anon. Dont give a shit what zoomers created (which is nothing). The unicorns were in the same scene as arcade fire and were better

>>128344737
Zoomers dont listen to The Unicorns or any 2000s indie rock unless they're fucking autistic or something

>>128344731
I never liked those bands

>>128344742
Pavement, Chavez, Built To Spill, GBV, fuck just pull ANY 90s band bro and they're better than godamn Arcade Fire (except Modest Mouse fuck them)

>>128344733
>the guy who listens to the gay bruce springsteen cover band wants his opinion to be taken seriously

Than thats even worse, you weren't even retarded mallcore yet you were impressed by Arcade Fire. Grim...

Come on man look who's talking here

>>128344749
then why did you choose that specific post to reply to?

>>128344751
yeah that's what I'm saying

>>128344770
you don't even know what I listen to lmao. you don't understand what you're so mad at.

>>128344796
Youre mad people like something apparently. So youre a projecting retard. What music do you listen to then?

>>128344827
Exactly. Youre mad someone doesnt agree with your gay opinion and have shit taste like you. Shows right there in your post. So why are you mad?

>>128344401
Stomp Clap Hey lost

There was no arena-pop baroque lo-fi when this came out. They created something unique. Their live shows changed lives. Still one of the best debuts of all times.

>>128344843
It needs to come back actually. Not shit dance pop for incels

>>128344839
>Youre mad someone doesnt agree with your gay opinion and have shit taste like you.
you're literally just describing the sequence of events in inverse. I said arcade fire sucks and you got all defensive about it. you're still seething about it.

>>128344862
You got mad by saying something sucks and you're all seething about arcade fire of all things. Pathetic. Now you are trying to project your gay fantasy on me. Go fuck yourself

>>128344316 (OP)
Only on /mu/ will you get arcade fire discussions this heated. Based!

>>128344869
>You got mad by saying something sucks
???

>>128344877
You think anyone gives a fuck what you think? Yet you come here and waste time posting garbage saying something sucks. No one cares retard. Go listen to kpoop

if you didn't care what I thought you could've just not responded to anything I said lmao

>>128344886

>getting this genuinely heated about arcade fire of all bands
like imagine getting red in the face and telling a stranger to suck a bag of dicks and die in a fire because they said they don't like Mumford & Sons.

>>128344976
Mumford & Sons never wrote Wake Up or Neighbourhood

>>128344990
That's a compliment.

>>128344990
thank god

>>128344993
Mumford &sons tier bait. Apply yourself next time zoomie

Imagine if they did though.

>this bait isn't even good lol 5/10 try harder not even mad

>>128345011
They might actually be a respectable band if that were the case but instead they will always be known as car commercial music.

>>128344990
>Names the two gayest songs on the album
LOL. Wake Up is literally just the poser indie version of Crawling by Linkin Park.

>>128345017
Im nta I just think youre an insufferable faggot. Somehow more insufferable than everything arcade fire wrote after funeral, thats a real accomplishment champ.

This board fucking sucks now

>>128345075
zoomers killed it

>millennials argue about arcade fire in a thread
>this means zoomers killed /mu/

So true...

Many of (you) replied, but none answered the question. I accept your defeat. You can rip on them and the genre all you want. For a brief moment in time despite the recession, 9-11, occupy Wallstreet, etc we found joy and we're genuinely happy. After the sudo-pagen ascetic, Wiccan larp was over it became party rock, ssris, and trap thots. The fact that you are seething about the group and genre a decade later proves your generation has nothing to offer. You wish you could go out and have fun and enjoy being goofy without having cameras in your face 24/7.

>>128345269
too long, didn't read + go back to eating your avocado toast and tending to your comically oversized handlebar mustache you overalls-wearing penny-farthing riding typewriter-carrying turbofaggot

>>128344316 (OP)
im so glad this trash album is finally getting the hate it deserves. I thought I just didn't get it for years because everyone talked about how fucking great it was and it always sounded like slop shit to me.

>>128345325
Zoomie can't even read a short paragraph. Stop trying so hard to fit in. Its ok to be yourself, the algorithm can't hurt you.

>>128344401
>>128344463
It’s chamber pop retards. Literally just Pet Sounds all over again

>>128344762
None of those bands could write a meaningful album like Lonesome crowded west

That's a stretch and you know it

I like it when I eat something highly fibrous for the first time in a while and it goes me ghost poops :)

So far in this thread, the Anti-Arcade Fire posts are much funnier and cooler

>>128347649
The shills can win in the short term but not in the long term

>>128347649
not a very high bar to clear 2bh. arcade fire appeals to a very specific and uniquely humorless kind of autist.

>>128347842
I remember when they would play tracks from Funeral at football games.

>>128347908
humorless autists are plentiful as evidenced by this thread.

are you seriously still engaging in this debate? you're a total moron who doesn't understand nuance and you impotently seethe on /mu/ when confronted with art that's too sophisticated for your cattle brain to appreciate. seriously, we get it you can stop embarrassing yourself anytime

Rebellion is the saddest song for me

>arcade fire
>nuanced

>arcade fire

>>128348135
You Dunning-Kruger-ass nigger. The #1 criticism that has been repeatedly lobbed at Arcade Fire throughout the duration of their career as a band so far has been that their music is overblown, melodramatic and lacking in nuance. They don't really have much more artistic merit than Skrillex; they're just sappier. That's literally it. They make saccharine garbage for clinically depressed twenty-something's with erectile dysfunction.

>>128348090
>arcade fire makes music for people whose best friend is their mother
believable

>>128344751
>Zoomers dont listen to The Unicorns or any 2000s indie rock unless they're fucking autistic or something
They are yet they still don't.

>>128348345
My mother is awesome you should be jealous

>>128348135
Arcade fire fans always talk about their music like win butler is the second coming of Bach and then you listen to their music again and it's like
>oooooh we're just kids in a parking lot,
>didn't have much, or so we thought
>[30 seconds of violins over shitty abba knockoff synths and bongos]

>>128348470
Arcade Fire haters are a strange breed

>>128348543
You cry to music for Prius commercials you faggot

>>128348701
Touched a nerve did I?

>>128348770
Nope, I just think it's funny that you can hear a song like Rebellion and start sobbing instead of laughing

>>128348896
Oh you are pissed

>>128348248
Bro is really crying to music made by a rapist damn

>>128348920
Their music just sucks really bad, it's not that serious.

>>128346028
Actually they just separated

>>128349024
Even more embarrassing

>>128348997
I'm not such a huge fan DESU. Funeral is a classic but after that I like only the odd track here and there

>>128349024
a divorced middle-aged couple playing overblown arena-rock songs about suburban nostalgia and vague youthful rebellion supplemented by a backing track because most of their old bandmates are gone, to nearly empty clubs after previously selling out stadiums. incredibly depressing. horrendous energy. those are gonna be some cursed shows. fucking woof.

>>128349163
Funeral is by far their worst offense, both on its own and because of its consequences.

>>128349244
>>128349221
Are you afraid that they might find renewed popularity with 18-24 year olds?

>>128349258
no? it's pretty obvious they're over.

>>128349258
Whether or not they are/were/become popular is irrelevant to the quality of their music, which has always been terrible. Terrible things have always been popular.

>>128349279
Keep telling that to yourself

>>128349268
I smell a comeback

>>128349316
Sure, and I'll keep telling others as well. :^)

>>128344316 (OP)
I truly can't think of a band with a bigger fall from grace

Usually when popular bands like Metallica or Coldplay decline in quality they still maintain a large fanbase but it feels like this band has no genuine fans anymore

>>128349341
olfactory hallucination is a sign you may be having a stroke.

>>128349357
I think it's a perfect shitstorm of multiple factors. the kind of music they made didn't really stand the test of time and was very specific to a certain decade. also the weird sex stuff didn't help them retain what few fans they had left and their output has only somehow worsened. all of those things together killed what legacy they had.

To me you seem like a Reddit user

>>128349634
To me you seem like you suck donkey dicks for fun.

>>128349737
lol you have to go back

>>128349768
You suck mad donkey dick and film it, your breath smells like rancid fermented donkey semen, you're wanted in 12 US states for bestiality and you listen to Arcade Fire which honestly is the worst of all your sins.

>>128349821
You feeling alright Reddit bro?

>>128349841
No I can smell your donkey cum breath through my screen and it's making me wretch.

>>128349841
I'll take that as a no

>>128349876
>so mad you couldn't even reply to the right post
It's alright, go back to sucking off donkeys and calm yourself down.

>>128349357
Comparing Arcade Fire's popularity to Coldplay or Metallica is fucking insane.

>>128349895
I'm actually listening to the new Arcade Fire album rn. It's pretty good you should check it out.

>>128349949
I mean sure whatever shit music you prefer to listen to while blowing donkeys is fine by me I guess. Different strokes and everything.

>>128349921
Well it's the first example of washed up bands that I could think of

>>128349956
Yeah check it out, it'll probably surprise you. I didn't even know they had a new one, it's just because of this thread.

>>128350027
You never denied the whole donkey blowing thing btw

>>128350048
I don't really get that kind of Reddit humor, sorry!

>>128350058
There was no attempt at humor there, I'm fully alleging with 100% seriousness that you rape donkeys in your spare time and you're not denying it.

>>128350106
I think I get it?

What the fuck is this thread about

>>128350175
Get what? Donkey dick? Of course you do, we've already long established that.

>>128350192
it started off being about how arcade fire sucks but that one anon spazzed the fuck out and now we're making fun of him instead. wanna join?

>>128350226
Op showed what an autistic retard he is

>>128344316 (OP)
There is no band that sounded like arcade fire before they debuted. Yes they did bolster millenial cringecore folk revival. The only comparison is BSS, and even then, they didnt achieve the mastery of this record. We're just in the interim phase between cringe and revival, like MCR was between 2012-2020

>>128350192
You tell me

I thought the new album was overall pretty enjoyable.

>>128348953
This happens more often than you know. Then we have the Joy ome feels

That's probably my 2nd favorite Arcade Fire album after Funeral. Super underrated.

AND THE BEDROOMS OF OUR FRIENDS

>>128354703
Hah, my exact thoughts. I don't really know how zooming-alpha you'd have to be to not recognize how fucking hard those songs slap.

Like, yeah... the 'stomp clap' thing and millennial whoop is cringe anyway you slice it. Arcane Fries are uncool french Canadians that travel around like the fucking McPoyle family. But this album isn't even particularly 'folky', it's straight up indie rock, just more cinematic and grandiose, which was the style at the time. But it's honestly hard to explain how fresh these guys felt back then, even David Bowie was an early adopter.

"Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out)" is a 10/10 indie rock song. "Rebellion (Lies)" is one of the best songs of the entire decade.

There's a handful of good to great songs on Neon Bible and Suburbs, but they have not been relevant for a very very long time.

you've been throwing a tantrum about this thread since it started a day ago. you unironically cannot handle the concept of people hating music you like to the point where you will fixate on anyone who disagrees with you for hours, days even, and get legitimately angry or upset during that period. you behave like an autistic child.

that's not a joke. this behavior is specifically outlined in the DSM. you genuinely probably have ASD lmao

>>128359432
lmao

>>128359464
see? you don't even really have a response to that but you still feel the need to respond anyway. a sign of oppositional defiant disorder, often exhibited by those with ASD.
