    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’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.

    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.

    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.

    Whenever I play shoegaze music it tends to upset my family.

    Zappa.

    Those who are into his music are really into it, and those who aren't generally really dislike it.

    Mindless Self Indulgence: Yeah, the lead singer was obviously a piece of shit, but their music was still catchy.

    I see people hate on Imagine Dragons, Creed, and Nickelback (though the latter two not so much recently)... I like these bands.

    Nickelback, although I barely listen to them anymore because my music taste changed

    I think a lot of people got burnt out on sex and candy, but Marcy playground's first two albums are legitimately fantastic. I didn't even get into them until like 2018

    I’m not sure how many bands even sit in the widely known and also disliked by most Venn diagram. The only example I can even think of is Phish, which I can’t stand but I know a guy who lives his whole life around their touring schedule.

    The Strokes - Comedown Machine is often called their worst album but, id argue it's one of their best

    Modern day Smashing Pumpkins. The community is very split these days.

    You would be surprised. They seem to be a very love them or hate them type of band. They were pretty wild in the early days too (pre cali), so had some bad press during a lot of the me too/cancel culture thing.

    I’m a huge fan of Frusciante. Like he’s basically the reason I learned anything on guitar.

    I listen to a lot of stuff that would be widely disliked if it were widely heard. Extremely dissonant, abstract, and harsh avant-garde metal is for very few people. It's hard to describe it without sounding like a dopey elitist type, but I just like caustic, hostile, and often formless stuff.

    The Spice Girls

    I can sing to you (badly) every single lyric of the first two albums

    Even though they seem to receive a lot of criticism and have a bad rep, and some people seem to really hate them, I've actually always liked Nickelback.

    My thread prediction was spot on. We all secretly listen to Nickelback.
