Is this a joke?

>it's a meme you dip

this
it took me like 10 listens before i could appreciate it

One of the only mainstream pop albums with a message. Insecure teenagers on this board have convinced themselves that it's a meme because they don't understand what's so refreshing about TOP's music yet they think bastardizations of folk music by mediocre musicians like sufjan Stevens and fleet foxes are great.

They're so deluded they'll convince themselves that my post is "bait" so that they can brush it off and sleep better at night because of the bubble they live in.

It's a meme in the sense it will be relevant for a couple of months then will die off. Sadly this has long lived it's expiry date

It's sadly not a meme, but Sup Forums is mostly teenagers so it makes sense.

They're deep af tho, lad. /They mix rap with emo and punk and pop, and the lyrics are basically poetry but like more heartfelt. Josh Dunn is my daddy

Lol what do you listen to?

>sufjan stevens and fleet foxes
>'bastard' folk
you're probably thinking of mumford and sons, if you think the multi-instrumentalist sufjan or the fleet fox harmonies show them to be 'mediocre musicians' I don't think you understand what discernable talent is.

what's its message then? saying it has A message doesn't make it a GOOD message, nor a good album, nor TOP good musicians. This post has to be bait, it uses too many nondescript buzzwords like 'refreshing' or 'message' to take seriously

>I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard,
>I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words,
>I wish I found some chords in an order that is new,
>I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang

Ah I think I've realised why this album is popular here. It's because they sing about being totally uninspired, derivative and bad musicians and that really resonates with the smell of failure enveloping this board.
