exceptions to what? the genre being unique? is that not true for every single genre? the existence of generic music in a genre does not mean the genre as a whole is not unique. what a foolish way of thinking. and there are many, many rappers currently pushing boundaries in the way rap sounds and feels in the 2010s. so many. to say otherwise is downright wrong.

im not getting defensive im just telling you your argument doesn't make sense. rap is driven by message, that message is backed up by some of the most forward thinking music in the modern age. they are both important, they both push the genre forward. and there are artists who stay unique while releasing huge bodies of work.

 

Dire Straits, Moody Blues, and Huey Lewis are all legendary.

 

None of this is what I'm trying to say. Im saying there are rappers I think are good that hardly change their musical approach at all and it doesn't seem to bother their ability to still create fresh inspiration in the listener.

Now Kendrick Lamar is my favorite and I think his instrumentals are ridiculously creative. I'm not saying rap is one or the other, I'm saying rap can go both ways.

Yeah and there's also artists who don't and actually do release 4 albums a year of really similar stuff. That doesn't work in genres that aren't driven by message but it can work in hip hop depending how strong the messages are.

 

I "get" Lil b, I just don't like his music at all

 

Favorite songs so far?

 

that's how i feel about the 1975, sorry jake

 

why hurt me

 

Fathers Day, Maybe It's Just Me, Race Cars and Goth Rock, Summer of 89, Closer To The Truth and Further From The Sky

 

These two are probably both in my top five from him. "Closer to the Truth" is so Bruce.

 

most music is garbage, in my unpopular opinion

 

Don't think that's really that unpopular

 

I will say I feel like I see more unironic Britney love on this site than anywhere else and it warms my heart

 

i don't know why i read this thread, it just makes my blood pressure rise

 

I don't like Deftones at all.

 

same

 

agreed

 

"Prayers/Triangles" is cool. That's about where my interest in Deftones starts and stops

 

I think Thurston Moore is a better guitarist than a lot of renowned soloists/"virtuoso" type guitarists

I think it's more difficult to make controlled noise with a guitar than it is to play around scales super fast

 

I like lyrics that are simple and straightforward so it works for me! I've never cared for the structure of them so much as long as I can relate to the lyrics and the artist singing them knows how to emote

But then again I don't see them as a hypothetical convo that rhymes like you do

 

My people.

I can get down with +++, probably because he actually sings instead of doing that weird heavy-breathing moaning stuff. But that's it. I've tried for years but it just doesn't stick at all for me.

 

Chino's voice is um unique I guess is how I would phrase it, I could understand not liking it

 

I understand people not liking Chino's voice and general approach to vocals when they first listen to Deftones.

After a while though... meh, they're just wrong.

 

Is this your unpopular opinion? Lol

Kidding but I'm more of a W&T dude
