the lyrics don’t make it better.

      Then have the confidence in yourself to like them. If you legit like them, it shouldn’t matter that they are overrated

      EDIT : I’m listening to meshuggah’s I, which is all fucked up and complex. Either today or yesterday, I put on “Sunshine Lollipops” and some stupid meme song about “to stop a gaben”. one doesn’t invalidate the other.

        that’s a good point. I never thought about the fact that something can be culturally overrated but still, well, good. considering I’m the judge of what music is good to me, anyway

          shit man, go a step further. Say that you like things that are objectively trash, but you like it. And that’s ok. It’s an opinion.

          Like, it’s one of the things that gets to me about art. Sometimes, you can look at something and say “yeah, this is BETTER than what I like, I just can’t fucking vibe with it”. Or “this is trash, but I fucking love it, and it’s my opinion”. People don’t do it enough.

                spicy pancake likes nu metal despite knowing it’s not that good, objectively speaking… from his interpretation of it, I am unsure. Some probably sucks.
