And then he starts talking and it sounds like he's going to invite you to a tea party at the queen's and it all just falls apart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_IFHtec5S8 Vinnie Jones rules though.

What about Danny Dyer? I'm always convinced he's about to stab anyone around him just because of the way he talks. He chews his words expertly.

Surely Foo Fighters were already around to satisfy the audience for competent meat and potatoes dad rock revivalism already when Nickelback showed up?

(HEY SOUL SISTER Eh yeah, I am actually using the phrase "arena rock" wrong, I think. I just mean a band that sounds as good or better live and fill the niche of sounding agreeably melodic while still being loud. 311 fills this for me. So did Linkin Park or Shinedown. Just loud rock that is radio accessible and can destroy a Ticketmaster with presales. Sometimes you just wanna jam out, ya know? I also don't understand Nickleback but if I'm totally honest I never tried to like them.

I didn't mind nickelback much when I was younger, I think I even had a tshirt of theirs in highschool, but when "photograph" came out I started to intensely dislike them. That song is awful and it was practically everywhere on the radios back in the second half of the 2000s.

I mean, I once knew a guy who said his favourite bands were Nickelback and Def Leppard, unless he wanted to listen to something "sophisticated" in which he case he listened to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. That's fine if that's what you're into, but what I personally don't get is how you can listen to Nickelback and listen to Def Leppard and still like Nickelback, because Def Leppard (and really most hair metal bands) were doing essentially the same thing as Nickelback except to my mind it's a lot more entertaining and generally had a higher standard of musicianship.

Def Leppard is butt rock or hair rock. It was beloved by people that Mike Judge was trying to make fun of. At some point he became bored of this and made B&B slightly more interesting but this didn't help Def Leppard's fans

^^^ Wait, that WAS in fact Chad Kroger?  Henchman of Santa posted:Nickelback somehow produced even worse imitators like Hinder and Saving Abel. And Theory of a Dead Man. Before I knew they were a band, I thought each of their songs was by Nickelback. Nickelback is just loving wretched as a band but by all accounts I've heard, they're very polite and respectful and that makes me not able to hate them the way I once did. PHUO: "Popular" American bands'/their music are selected/promoted solely on the grounds of blandness and embarrassment factor and when a record label intern kills themselves rather than finish listening to a song, the label fast-tracks the entire album to popularity and the band to superstardom. These are opinions, they don't have to be factually-based.

I think the most recent band to break through in a big-ish way is Greta Van Fleet, who I believe are Australians. I haven't heard any of their music myself so I don't know if they're any good or not.

I wonder who I'm thinking of. Wolfmother? Again, the sum total of my knowledge of Wolfmother is that interview from about a decade ago where Mike Patton hears them playing in the background and derisively asks, "What decade is this?" My current music opinion which may be unpopular is that the peak era for Queen was 1976-1980 (i.e. just after Day at the Races through to The Game) when they were being denounced by the music press as "the world's first fascist rock band". Another opinion is that Thin Lizzy deserved to be as successful as U2 but I don't believe that's terribly unpopular.

When I hear a song out in the wild that is so bad that it feels like an assault on my ears, sometimes I'll Shazam it just because I want to know who is responsible for torturing me, and no joke, every single time I've done it for the last few years it's turned out to be Imagine Dragons. Truly the most suck rear end band that has ever existed.

They are an excellent business. Unfortunately as much as "gamers" want them to be, there will never be a successful company again that prioritizes player enjoyment/entertainment. It's all about the lootboxes and it will never change, because nothing else is as profitable.

Well yeah as a business they're on top of the world, but I'm talking about them as a company that just wants to make a fun game. They're not looking to sell overwatch as a great team shooter, they're just looking to make whatever changes they can to placate the people who'll gladly spend $100 or more at a time in the hopes of getting the Mei skin they wanted. That's also gambling and I can't wait to see more and more countries bring the law down on them. It's no wonder why indie games are on the rise, people are burnt out on these flash-in-the-pan games like overwatch and they just want a more sustainable game to play, or at least a game they can look back fondly on.

Lootboxes and gacha really are the biggest plague in the industry right now, even more annoying by how much they push it by making everything suck in comparison to what you could get, and no amount of making it "not as bad" will make it good, because it is bad by definition. There are no good excuses in favor of it.
