It's not really rational comments made. It's also pretty easy to tell who's out of touch in threads like this.

The only posts that have been given the "old racist" treatments were the ones that were not legitimate critiques. They were the old man yelling at sky, get off my lawn type posts.

The current discussion is from someone saying they don't get the appeal and another person telling them the appeal. No one said they were the GOAT.

well most of the critiques garner those types of responses because most of the critiques boil down to "rap sucks" or "music was better back in my day"

I like some of their stuff, but they're not a rock band.

Which is why it's a joke they won "Best Rock Album."

Thank you very much for posting a few links. I appreciated that and listed to them.

This: LINK did not at all help me understand why he's so popular.

But I admittedly don't understand alot things these days. I love old soul and funk music, funk is one of my favorite genres of music, but the music I love is played by talented musicians and the whole band takes the stage and rocks it.

It seems newer music, and newer Fandom, is all about the front man with no mention or mind ever paid to the musicians or even the music. I just don't understand it. I'm not knocking it, people have different musical tastes, it's just not for me at all.

I didn't. You made a point for which there is no evidence in this thread.

Someone posting a drive by "this music sucks" isn't providing a legitimate critique and doesn't deserve a thoughtful reply.

Young people like loud rap. They're also in HS or college mostly, and are drunk 6 nights a week and on blow. Loud rap music gets you hype.

Your convo with jbeam was my evidence for the actual real discussion happening in this thread

You'd honestly put them in the same group as Metallica, Nothing More, Fozzy, 10 Years, In This Moment, etc?

They aren't even remotely the same.

Indie/techno/pop crap just like all the other "alt" stuff on the radio these days. It's really frustrating how actual rock n roll with real guitars has basically been surgically removed from popular culture and terrestrial radio.

That doesn't really answer the question. What genre are they if they aren't a rock band?

They just like him because he’s good looking and not ghetto. Zero good raps and movies!

What is wrong with sub genres like indie rock or electronic pop?

I also wouldn't consider War on Drugs apart of any of the sub genres you listed above.
