Its like if white bread and wheat bread had a baby that had the worse of both kinda sandwhich breads. I hate the way they act like "we're the realest of real musicians" when they put being silly and childish over making ART.

this was a great video, you nailed every reason i dislike the band. i've tried to listen to each album and give it a fair chance but, because of every reason you say in the video i just cant. i'm happy others can enjoy it and i'll never try to take that away from them but the reasons you gave make it so hard to understand the appeal. the lyrics are childish and surface-level, the instrumentals are basic and overproduced and it captures what it feels like to grow up, which by itself isn't bad but it does not execute well imo. surface-level lyrics could never capture that feeling, the topic is just too complex:/ amazing video though!

Thirsty is MAD underrated. Of course, the yodelling kinda sucks but the part around "Im up and i raise my cup singing everything is gold" and "i run my mouth, dont got a lot to say," is pretty good. They could have made it a much better song tho call my dad is worse

1. Yeah their music is childish, and that's what makes them so special. The nostalgia I get from these songs is insane. 2. Production overdone? The more the merrier. The more noise and instruments and wonderful sounds I hear the more euphoric I feel, and that's why I love their music. 3. Yeah... I don't get why people say their music is surface level. If you listen for just a little bit you can understand all the metaphors they include in their songs. They sing about topics that are relatable, and IMO they aren't really a pop band. 4. The way they act is special and I love them for it. They act like this because Jack, the lead singer, is autistic. It's literally just his personality. (I'm autistic too btw) AJR is amazing. If you don't like them, you don't have to, just don't hate them. Also... Thirsty is a good song.

I'll say this time and time again, Eminem knows he can't be cancelled, it's Slim's goal in the story and he influences Em to believe that he will be cancelled, but throughout the album he interrupts Slim saying anything controversial, not because of cancelation, but because the over-inflammatory nature just reminds Eminem how much he hates being Slim Shady now because the character ruined his life. He even says on Head Honcho that "Cancelled isn't the word for me"

all of their songs feel like they end on the same note they started on. Here's a song about a guy who thinks he's owed good karma cause he's nice - yes of course he's not gonna experience any growth by the outro of the song. Here's a song about a guy who has to choose between his career and his partner - yes of course the only solution is to do the partner stuff in June. Here's a song about a guy who finds it hard to change because he's used to staying in the same place - of course the last line is gonna be "Where I am going is right where I am." There's no moral here. It's not uplifting. It's relatable in a way that doesn't say anything. I try so hard to like it but it doesn't go anywhere. Where's the solution JACK? Here's a song about a guy who realizes love isn't like a Disney movie - surely it'll highlight the real ways love is beautiful, rather than being a trilogy of doomer songs about how love sucks, right? Surely when it does get to the point about how real love is beautiful, it'll actually show that point instead of shoehorning it at the end, right? Here's a song about a newborn baby losing his wonder and whimsy because the world is so evil - Okay I choose to interpret the outro verse as something hopeful here, but I'm kinda doubtful about it being meant that way. Gah. Even Tyler found his Car Radio eventually.
