I was told about this band today and a coworker showed me a youtube video of what they're like.
My question is not a joke, but the existence of this band may be?
Help me understand? Wtf this is? Is this an attempt to troll the world that people have accepted as "rock music" so they kept going?
Is this "real music" and I'm the idiot?
It feels like elevator music for people in the "Beavis and Butthead" universe.
WTF IS HAPPENING?! (And no I'm not just talking about their absolutely ludicrous appearance, I'm talking about the whole package. The music sounds like LSD fueled song intros looped together without ever reaching a chorus, ever.
Idk if you need to ‘accept’ them as anything lol, they’re just as much rock as Nickelback or the Sex Pistols or Lulu
The rumor I heard was that the outfits started as a trick to let the duo play the same club twice in the same week
Now if it’s just the looping micro-tonal double necked guitar math yeah that’s pretty much a gimmick, but that’s where the art is baybee
These dudes have a hundred times the talent of Nickelback and Sex Pistols (before PiL, of course).
@SlurpingPus @ianhclark510 That's our defense of outsider art? Putting other artists down? Arts as a sports competition with winners and losers?
Screw it, I'm fully participating in the ragebait reddit drama.
I mean, AdP's music is based on technical proficiency, while Sex Pistols made objectively trashy music.
Funny thing: Lydon picked Vicious as the bassist, hoping that the latter would learn as he goes, which of course never happened. Then for PIL Lydon picked Jah Wobble through the same method (allegedly), and Wobble went on to become one of the best bassists ever, imo.
@SlurpingPus I think if what you want is technical proficiency you should be watching olympic gymnasts' routines instead of wasting your time on any of this shit but sure.
Ok boomer.
Nah, I'll continue listening to good music, and you can do nothing about it.
