infuriating internet trends

I don't even know what is going on in this thread anymore

brand new would make a pretty good post-rock band, but with the vocals and lyrics it's pretty standard 16 year-old girl music

They are still good

why do you have such elitist musical opinions

why do you have such elitist musical opinions

it's not elitist to say Brand New is teen music. that's why i asked how old you are

(edit: because when i was a teen i probably thought brand new was good too)

[snoorkel]

i guess you can say with great authority that brand new is teen music

well, yes, of course she can. she is able to see exactly why Brand New is shitty teen music  

Brand New is one of those bands that's not even really in a genre. You wouldn't compare it to other music that's commonly known to be good, just other shitty teen music (like HMMM is brand new or say anything better?? how do you decide, they're both equally uninspired and meaningless)... I mean even Weezer crosses the threshold defining 'real' music, Brand New is plainly far below

STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nah I've been there and loved motion city soundtrack and the used and everything, don't anyone take my meaning as 'your music taste sucks', you just need to find new music. it is there. are you going to be listening to brand new in 5 years? isn't that what makes a good band?

they are talented, but i find the emo teen vocals obnoxious and i just feel awkward when listening to them.
the musicians are very talented and the music is well-produced and they have a few catchy songs, it's just not something that appeals to me.

why do you have such elitist musical opinions

I listen to a lot of music, it's one of my main hobbies and i think about it very frequently. i don't even think my tastes are amazing or that i am more qualified for an opinion, i just think i've put a lot of effort into developing my tastes.

i guess you can say with great authority that brand new is teen music

is it not well-known that brand new's primary audience is girls from ages 14 to twentysomething?

exactly. as you get older, you realize this, hence not liking bands like brand new (or in my case, good charlotte...oh god) anymore

i will agree that snorkel is being a little harsh about it, but i also think he's dead-on in grouping them with say anything and motion city soundtrack as mediocre teen girl bands. they're obviously better than kesha and toby keith, but there is just so much better music out there.
