They were really easy to hate back in the day. They’ve withstood the test of time though.

John Taylor is so underrated as a bassist. He was amazing in that band.

I didn’t know Duran Duran was even disliked lmao

Been listening to Rio by DD as inspiration for a writing piece, and it’s a pretty good song imo

Come Undone is one of the coolest songs I’ve ever heard. I’ve never been able to figure out if it’s about living in the closet though. The lyrics could be interpreted as such, and the video definitely reinforces that concept.

I only found out a few years ago that Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies was commonly regarded as one of the worst songs of the 90s, but it reminds me of middle school and summers at the pool. Same with Sex And Candy by Marcy Playground.

The other day I heard sex and candy for the first time in ages. I got immediate nostalgia. The song has a GREAT hook and I totally see why middle school me liked it. Sex. Candy. Cool vibe.

But hearing it now, i quickly realized the lyrics aren’t mysterious/poetic. They are meaningless and had nothing to say except repeating the chorus over and over and over because the words sound good together.

Once you get past their boring singles, Nickelback isn’t all that bad.

I don’t think there’s that many people who dislike Nickelback. It just became trendy to dislike them, so people jumped on the bandwagon, regardless of whether they actually cared either way.

Nailed it - it became trendy to dislike Nickelback, Imagine Dragons and the likes

My parents took us to one of their concerts in like 2008. They were surprisingly good live.

I tried because so many of my friends dig them. I just can’t get past the songs that seem like they’re written with a rhyming dictionary and they’re full of teeny bopper cliches. I love the guitar tone and some of the riffs but I just can’t get past those dumbass lyrics.

I’ll say it, I like Imagine Dragons. They have some great songs, they just also have some radio rock drivel (oh god Thunder is bad). Also, I saw them live back in 2013 and it’s one of the best concerts I’ve been to.

In 2022, they were my then-12-year-old child’s favorite band, so I took the kiddo to see the band in Milwaukee. Holy shit, they put on a FANTASTIC concert.

My wife discovered them about idk… 6 years ago? She was crazy about their music. She listened to it all the time, and put the music videos on our home theater. Then out of nowhere she suddenly decided that she hates them. She still hates them to this day. I think it might be because their music is so repetitive that it sounds catchy at first and then gets really annoying. Whatever the reason, they cultivated a super fan and then lost her all within a couple of months.

Unfortunately they became a bit annoying after a bit but looking back, they’ve put out some fantastic tracks that are hard not to groove to

Kinda like Nickelback. How can you not enjoy Rockstar

I like them, too. I only recently learned that we’re not supposed to, for some reason. shrug I enjoy a good bit of their music.

It baffles me why anyone doesn’t like them. I’m 42 and didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to like them.

You could play me 10 random songs from my playlist and I could maybe name the artist of one of them. I’m so hipster even I don’t know the bands I’m listening to.

That’s the problem with autogenerated playlists. I really like it, but can’t remember the names of the bands - especially since half of them are Cyrillic.

I don’t know, that’s what I like about my playlist. No loyalties. If I like it, it’s in. From rap to classical I got it! Maybe even a few country songs, but those are the very rare for me.
