I tried so hard to like em and I just couldn't. I don't care much for Gerard's vocals and I think that's a big part of my problem with liking them.
I LOVE my chemical romance but at this point a lot of it comes down to nostalgia. I agree that gerards voice is.. an acquired taste and I also prefer their first (and second!) albums. I got the black parade for christmas when I was 11 or 12 and ngl if that hadn't happened I probably wouldn't have cared much for it.
Persona wrote: @Anachronism do u have an opinion on 90s britpop? i never hear u talk about so im just wondering
my friend and I disagree on if Oasis is a good band. I am of the opinion that they are.
We Are Young by Supergrass is on a summer playlist I've compiled.
I love Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.
Pulp is a masterpiece.
That's all I really have to say. Definitely more of a casual listener over a fan.
i'm of the opinion that Oasis isn't a good band, haha. wonderwall plays all the time in the pub and every time it does i'm there like *pained emoji face* lmao.
i used to be rly into britpop around 10 years ago, but i think it's just a thing that i listened to the genre so often i just got sick of it. still listen to a couple of tunes now and again tho

what brit-pop do you like? I know you were very big into Pulp and I would say they are the best from what I've heard.
I adore this song:
I found it by searching, "song that repeats '45'" lmfao.
I can see how people would dislike Oasis for being overplayed but are they only a bad band because they're overrated? Idk, I like them tbh.
Nothing will beat The Kinks or The Beatles. However in the whiny, angst filled 90's, Brit-pop was bright, happy, shiny and summer-y and upbeat and just fun to listen to. So it recycled something that's been done before. It was fun to listen to though.

I don't care much for The Olivia Tremor Control. I mean I get they were a homage to the more trippy Beatles moments like Revolution 9 but they still feel like pretentious clap-trap to me. I dunno.

My neighbor made me watch Spice World and I was bored out of my mind.

I had a crappy emo phase and I like a lot of rock bands (I even liked The Used and Falling in Reverse/Escape the Fate which are similar to MCR, no?) so I feel like something is missing; like I'm supposed to like them and it's weird I never did. Idk. They just never did it for me. I think my utter hatred for The Black Parade and Teenagers helped a lot. Fuck those songs.

I like Lush. Didn't know if they'd be classified as brit-pop though.
I've been meaning to get around to Manic Street Preachers but haven't. Thank you!
Didn't realize Elastica was classified as brit-pop
most of these I don't even know. lmfao. thanks so much tbh. There's a reason I don't really mention brit-pop; I know little about it.

God yeah I've always absolutely despised teenagers and that's the song the people hang out with now latched onto lmao. When it was new I always thought it sounded nothing like what i expected from mcr so I largely just ignored the whole thing. I can't stand that song, and I'm not really updated on any of their newer stuff either (danger days? idk if there's more).
I appreciate the black parade as like an emo anthem, but the song itself isn't that great.
