Why do they get so much hate?
>>132078227overplay and the banjo player or whoever the fuck became a cringe right wing fag.
They were a cynical attempt by the mainstream music industry to capitalize on indie folk, and everyone knew it.
>>132078227the singer sounds like a dying horse
Winston Marshall vs Hunter HendrixWhich one is the biggest nepobaby in industry history
I'm waiting for zoomers to come around and say much much they love these guys just because older generations clowned on them. Same with Imagine Dragons.
>>132078633The Imagine Dragons reappraisal has to come from Gen Alpha, almost by necessity
All of the hate surrounding stomp clap hey is starting to feel performative, it reminds me of the time when every teenage millenial acted like Nickelback was the worst band that ever existed.
>>132078929Terminal contrarianism is the most predictable response of the anonymous shitposter.
>>132078929>>132079565You're also ignoring the part where people tend to hate on music they already dislike and are then exposed to it on the daily, against their will
>>132079565/mu/'s popular identity was founded upon liking shit nobody else would and shitting upon things everyone else liked
>>132078227Being overplayed and not having anything good after their first album to justify a reevaluation.
We were playing a festival in Dublin the other week. There was this other group, like, warming up in the next sort of chalet, and they were terrible. I said, 'Shut them cunts up!' And they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them. The bands said, 'That's the Sons of Mumford' or something. 'They're number five in charts!' I just thought they were a load of retarded Irish folk singers.
>>132078227Their first album is not that bad. They became parodies of themselves after it
I love many of their songs. Don't know much about their newest releases, have only heard one or two on the radio as far as I remember, but I had first discovered them years ago at a very intense time in my life and listening to these same songs now sometimes literally brings me to tears. For example Delta and Snake Eyes are very beautiful (the strumming segment in Delta ...), and so are a bunch of others.
sounds like shit, dumb fuck
Oh man I just listened to Wilder Mind. What a beautiful song. I don't know if that's how I really experienced it then, but now, warped back to that time, these songs make me feel a sense of some sort of precipice, early autumn, an ending of one chapter with a vast expanse of a new, hopeful and colorful one, opening up ahead. Even the album art has that sort of vibe. Reminds me of the bench I used to sit on to watch the city from that was at the edge of said city and a forest, sometimes took girls there lol. I mean the bench is still there, they cut the trees around it down for some reason and maybe replaced it with a new one but the place remains, I could be sitting on it in 10 minutes, but the everything else that made that bench special is long gone, the things from my life before and after sitting on the bench that infused that experience with a certain kind of sensation-feeling. You know, the expansiveness and hope present in all the other areas of life that then materialized itself as a concrete sensation when I sat upon that bench.I'm sorry for rambling about anons, I hope you all have a great day. Thanks for bringing up the band, I will go check out the bench and try sitting on it :').
