I'm not gonna lie, not very true. I can name a couple of such bands that are still considered legendary with no doubts. Russian band "Kino" is considered perhaps one of the most primary characteristics of the country and Tsoi (the lead singer) is known pretty much in the whole world and by everyone I the country. But... there's a reason I specifically said Tsoi, as I personally (and im pretty sure no one I met in life either) don't even know who the other people are lol. Most Kino songs are referred to as just "Tsoi songs". Idk what the other guys are

Though not a huge Maroon 5 fan, I always had a soft spot for their first three LPs. They were all-around solid pop rock albums, with some of the most iconic and memorable songs of the 2000s and early 2010s. Sure their sound may not have been for everyone, but they didn't feel... Disingenuous. There was an upfront personality to their music, whether you liked it or not. It's fascinating, if not sad, how bad they've been selling out since Moves Like Jagger and Overexposed to such a shameless degree. It's not just the fact that Maroon 5 is basically Adam's glorified solo project now. It's the music itself sounding so lifeless, corporate, manipulative and dull. It sounds specifically made to farm streams by sheer virtue of being inoffensive, generic pop schlock for any random retail store to play on loop. Especially now, in a decade of pop music going balls to the wall in terms of sound design and production intricacies, it's no wonder that their latest record JORDI utterly flopped. You can't keep releasing this bland, insipid product disguised as music and expect people to eat it up just because you're Maroon 5.

I was newly a fan and went down the line telling each of the guys in the band how much we were all listening to the album in my college dorm. They all acknowledged me in some way, saying something appreciative, smiling, sharing energy--save for Adam Levine, who was wearing dark sunglasses even though we were in a fully sided tent--and simply signed my CD, and then took one finger, and silently and slowly slid the CD across the table at me, without a word or facial expression. I never bought any of their music since.

On top of that, this was the year Stephen Hillenberg, the creator of SpongeBob died, which led to a huge campaign to have "Sweet Victory" from the fan-favorite Band Geeks episode played at half-time, and the NFL responded by playing the opening bit of the song from the episode before cutting to Travis Scott. Lastly, Adam Levine performed shirtless for part of it, which led to people comparing it negatively to Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction that effectively ended her mainstream career, while Levine was allowed to get away with it.

Or worse, with the rise of musicians using AI. M5 could be renamed Adam Levine only in each song, and his band members replaced by AI instrumentals and lyrics. Since they want to be on trend and look "fresh" for the younger audience. The other band members will be pissed but they will happily sue, get their percentage and create their own band, instrumentals only Rock, ALt Rock, and Rock Jazz. And leaving Adam in the dust, his music is declining anyways. I love listening to true instrumental music on the highest volume, it's frickin relaxing! I would def buy their album!

Adam could've easily had a great solo career like a decade ago, but either due to lack of confidence or wanting to keep helping his homies eating off them royalties (which would explain so many people joining the band during the sellout years), he decided to just keep making records as Maroon 5. Now though.... yeah, I don't think he has enough clout to pull that off unless he WILDLY switches things up and people actually like it.

Adam alone could not write a whole album by himself which is why he had to hire from outside to help. Reason why his music started to go downhill. Edit: Lack of confidence, for sure.

They went from beloved to HATED in this country because they didn't respect the audience of the festival. The thing about Viña is that is works like The Super Bowl in USA, but in this case, IT'S TRANSMITED TO THE WHOLE CONTINENT OF SOUTH AMERICA. Whenever I talk with my classmates or other people about Maroon 5, they only remember that horrible concert and swear to never listen to them again, same for any Latino in South America, they managed to enrage a whole continent, wow.

@@Kiddingyoumust sorry for the late reply, here is the answer (remember English is not my first language, so please excuse any weird phrasing) The "Festival de Viña del Mar" is an international competition, similar to Eurovision, but the crowd is the one who chooses which trophy they give to the featured artist, the highest one in a golden bird (I don't know how to write Gaviota in English, but is the simbol of the region that hosts the festival). From what I remember, Maroon 5 managed to get the love from the crowd, and earned the highest trophy, but what they did was to curse it. This was all found out later, thanks to footage from the staff members who had to prepare the event, I think it's on KZitem, search "Maroon 5 Festival de Viña detrás de cámaras" . This was the part that is easy to explain, but now comes the parts that involve Chilean Culture: the crowd from this festival is famous for being VERY selective, it actually was given the name of "The Monster". For an unknown reason, Maroon 5 didn't sing well, and the crown didn't like that, but still gave them the trophy. Another tradition is that if the crowd yells "¡Otra! ¡Otra!" (Another song! Another song!) The artist MUST sing another one, the whole theme of the festival are the interactions with The Monster and gain the love of the crowd, but yet again, Maroon 5 didn't do that.

I think what's really frustrating and sad about this band is that they are genuinely "talented", they just keep positioning their inauthentic selves to the medium. M5 both explicitly stated that their kind of music was meant to chase trends, but the big difference is that they were on constant pressure, both personally and professionally, and that influenced their songs. The Fourth World's final track "Captain Splendid" was created during Jesse Carmichael's parents divorce, "Harder to Breathe" is a middle finger to their record label who wanted them to make more songs than they already needed to, and the entirety of "Songs About Jane" was Adam Levine venting out his frustrations, desires, and love for her ex-girlfriend, Jane Herman. Plus when SAG initially released, they never released any singles of any kind, just after a month. They were kind of hanging by a thread at that time (plus it was their second chance), and it would only take them a year-and-a-half to be finally recognized. But it also showed a core problem in their composing, and in the music industry in general. They were too successful that there was no stricter creative input or limitations to their future work. It's the same problem I have with Christopher Nolan and his most recent films. His early work were all dialogue-driven, adult thrillers (Memento/Insomnia/The Prestige) made with fierce creativity over what they had on the table. Until he made Tenet with a whopping $150 million budget and going all-out with no substance in-between, alienating the audience over what the fuck is going on. Pressure creates diamonds. You have to make it to break it. And that's no longer the case fore M5. They already have the connections, clout, money, etc, leaving their work on a listless pedestal, generic. And it sad because, they are really genuinely "talented", but they just had too much power with their own success that they no longer recognized what made them special in the first place. It's like being born poor and later becoming a billionaire leaving your parents and relatives in the dump. And we are those parents. They are now posing a mask to hide everything they feel embarrassed of, like the Kara's Flowers era. They can still make good music, they just need to go back to their roots, restrain themselves, and giving them a reality check. Don't be like Coldplay where they really sold-out for the mainstream. Be like Radiohead where they make and experiment music on their own terms and gaining a strong following over time, both critically and commercially. It's up to them whether they would like to or not. But who am I kidding, Adam is just shilling some money from lonely housewives amirite?

It pains me to know that we will never get that sound back from either of them unless they take that hard long look and wonder if less money is worth it :///

Maroon 5 is such a weird case. Because I genuinely like their first 5 albums. All of them have some really good songs. And songs about jane and it wont be soon before long show the band can write iconic music if they want to. But they've just given up. They don't write their own music anymore, and don't even pretend to be a real band. The latest stuff is just generic and forgettable. The band doesn't have an identity. And those songs could be made by any producer. Oh well I'll always have their old stuff i guess.
