Blood Moon is so good

 

I think a supergroup can be “super” within a scene but not big outside of it, it’s still a supergroup

 

I have so many bands that I would consider supergroups but most outside of certain circles would not or even know who they are (not that the second part matters).

 

My pick was universally understood to be a supergroup within their (sub)genre, but only one of the members actually became a general audience star (some might say pop star), and more so after the group than before (but not because of it).

 

I’m a little bit like this with him too. Also with anyone that sounds… for lack of a better term… too “Hamilton-y”, haha. It’s what took me so long to get into McKinley Dixon and why I still have a tough time with Shad

 

Haha yeah. I do the marketing for a theater festival for young/new performing artists and a too many of the ones that fall under “theater” (rather than dance and so in) somehow constantly feel the need to rap. I call it theater rap. They usually suck real hard Hamilton really did some damage.

 

Is theater rap like those epic rap battles of history videos that were big in the early 2010s?

 

It’s basically the hip hop equivalent of a teacher pulling up a chair and sitting on it backwards

 

You people love Justin Vernon…

 

I just thought of this but Fall Out Boy is 100% a supergroup.

 

I actually saw Pete front his other band. They were actually pretty good.

Patrick filled in on drums here and Joe on guitar.

 

Hmmmmm

 

What is the issue @Aaron Mook ? Please do tell.

 

I'm not sure their former bands were notable enough to count. Most bands are formed from the ashes of multiple shitty garage bands but that doesn't make them supergroups

 

Oh so now you are making up silly rules @irthesteve ? Pretty much the reason I didn't post any hardcore groups. Racetraitor were and still are a pretty great hardcore band that Pete was in and Andy Hurley is still a member of. Also, I guess hardcore is considered "shitty garage bands" now. Either way, in my book they still count.

 

Super means something!

 

Definitely not a supergroup

 

Yeah I mean it can count for you lol it's obviously subjective (and also who cares) but I'm with Steve and Spo here. I was aware of Arma Angelus, but personally I wouldn't consider any of the previous bands big enough to lend to Fall Out Boy being a supergroup

 

Clearly you all care enough to tell me it’s not a supergroup lmao

 

You posted, people responded, it's not that deep

 

Ken is not a supergroup

 

Why does it read like this argument is more hostile than it needs to be, this is supposed to be fun... no? Personally I don't care about the points, ranking or anything, I'm just here to share stuff I love and that is potentially new to someone and vice versa. Also learn why x song means so much to anyone etc.
