Vessel's a kickass album, bro.

>Indie fag who listened to them before they blew up

...

My friend thinks that ToP is the best band to ever exist. It hurts my soul so much because it's so fucking bad

end me, this is fucking awful

This isn't actually a badly written review, but comparing twenty one pilots to Psalms is possibly the biggest cringe of the year

They're good though and great people too

Vessel was legitimately great, blurryface sucks tho

...

Yeah, how dare people connect with and enjoy an album!
Fuck off

It's shit like this that makes me hate being a top fan.

like yeah i gettit MCR are shit and top are a lowbrow edgy teen plebcore band but besides the fact she clearly has a warped view of what constitutes "mainstream" this aint even cringey.

fuck off back to Tumblr, you fat cunt.

...

Ultimate cringe coming through

HEY

TMM >>>>>>>> 21P

I have an IQ of 196 and am seeking a roommate of my same mental capacity with whom I can engage in casual conversations about quantum mechanics and theoretical astrophysics. I am smarter than 99% of the people I encounter; however being as insanely smart as I am can be quite a burden. For instance, I can never win arguments because the reason I'm right is too complex to explain within the attention span of my opponent. Alas, nobody understands my plight. I often stay up at night reading Chaucer and contemplating the repercussions of false philosophy. I love astounding everybody in the library by finishing a 419 page novel in just under 100 minutes. I am also a passionate artist and musician. Just earlier I heard a door squeak a melodic minor 7th, something only a true musician would realize. Last night I wrote a poem while in a club. Of course I of all people would stop dancing in the middle of a dance floor at 11:30 at night and start to ponder about the decay of our society. How disquieting the institution of superficiality in contemporary culture is. We exist in a zeitgeist bastardization of those principles our forefathers strove to exemplify. If you're going to be my roommate you must enjoy classical, enchanting tunes; not the talentless, computerized sounds that the modern generation "listens" (if you can even call it that) to. You must also agree with me on the following points:
- The black race holds itself back, and is not being held back by other races
- The middle east needs to go
- Gender identity issues are a mental illness
- You 100% can work your way out of poverty, people who think otherwise are just lazy and thus show why they are in poverty.
If you meet all of my qualifications, I will potentially consider you as a possible roommate.

P.S. I could have gotten more intellectual with my profound vocabulary but decided to dumb it down so that your lesser minds could fully comprehend the meaning of my words.

...

new pasta? it's fantastic.

...

I would unironically want to live with someone like this.

OMG it's sooo meaningfullll

>not being able to grasp the concept of satire
How's autism treating you?

It'd be a fun game to see what set them off since so many things would. I guess that would make it an ironic desire though

This thread is hella gay

>hella
guess we know whos hella gay

...

...

Wew.

I've seen the bandbame a few times here and there but I had no idea there was this whole fandom of teenage dipshits.

got me

He's right though no TOP fans think they like something groundbreaking they just like the band and the music why is that so hard for autists to realize?

Like the band, hate the Fandom.

this is perfect

Thanks, I am here all day...

unfortunately

lost

This.

Is that crap supposed to trigger Sup Forums or something? Is it the consensus here that trannies arent mentally ill?

...

i can tell that you are 15 by the fact that you don't know how to use punctuation.

rude

Nope already graduated so I couldn't care less if my post is punctuated on a cancer board like this

probably written by a tumblr user butthurt because someone called her a slut when she said she dates black guys only

welp, im done
see ya later guys

>tfw no at superiority complex gf who 'listens' to your balls slap against her ass

That's Elliot Rodger

I feel weird for immediately recognising this

>That one guy on Sup Forums who defends 21 Pilots every time they're brought up

kek

Hey buddy that's me how ya doing

...

Please tell me this is fake

Elliot Rodger wrote that paragraph

Wow what a fucking piece of shit

Maybe if he wasn't a narcissistic tryhard creep probably he'd have a gf? I saw the shit about him on r9k and no wonder no one liked him.

i would fuck his sister too

oh shit, didn't recognize it
i always thought he was memeing before the shooting desu

>eww, they're mainstream
>i haven't connected with music in this way since I first listened to My Chemical Romance

>few, proud, and emotional.

none of those signify you have a good taste in music.

just the classic 21p fan, she's probably a kid but still

are you fucking stupid? they don't care if they have good taste in music or not they just like the band and the music jesus christ not everyone is a pretentious faggot like you

...

>Twenty One Pilots is for the few, the proud, and the emotional

Fuck you mods. This thread is still hella gay.

>> - The black race holds itself back, and is not being held back by other races
>> - The middle east needs to go
>> - Gender identity issues are a mental illness

but this is not satire

lol that is cringy but he has a point their fans aren't trying to be anything special just appreciate a band they like

what makes someone write something like this?

Holy fucking shit dude if this isn't fake gg

Tumblr. It has all the hall-marks of a die-hard tumblr-user's post. I don't know what causes users of that site to start finding bland, unchallenging and insipid stuff like this 'witty', but it does.

The cringiest thing here is this thread.

Get the fuck over yourselves. I don't like 21 Pilots at all but I'm not gonna deliberately go out find things to make fun of just to boost my own shitty ego. Let people enjoy what the fuck they want you faggots who all probably just have slightly above entry level taste which isn't even that much more "unique" than the people you're making fun of.

>I don't like 21 Pilots

why did i read this

>Let people enjoy what the fuck they want

Some people enjoy laughing at people who like shitty music.

How about you let them enjoy what the fuck they want you absolute shitfag.

>Let people enjoy what the fuck they want

No.
People with bad taste deserve to be ridiculed. That's how you develop better taste. Most people listen to formulaic garbage when they are young, and they either gain confirmation of their taste through whatever fanbase, or they face some sort of criticism. Someone gets in their face and tells them that the music they like sucks. What do they do? Well, some people ignore it, and some people begin to question their taste. Being pushed outside of your comfort zone is how you discover something new. So regardless of whether or not the criticism is valid, or if someones taste is being shit on just for laughs, you either understand why you enjoy the music you do and the insults won't affect you, or you ask yourself if it's actually good music.

This applies to any school of thought, people who watch horrible Adam Sandler comedies, people who follow cringey and insincere youtube personalities, or people who live in a political and philosophical bubble. You need to be pushed outside of your comfort zone and explore the options, so you can know where you really stand and what/why you enjoy the things you do. It's bad to live in an echo chamber where you are given constant affirmation

See for you're selfs:
youtu.be/qrUqyNKiPkE

Why is it bad to live in a bubble and never expand upon your own tastes? Even if your tastes are "objectively bad" (completely leaving aside the argument of objectivity in music) then you still gain pleasure from bad music, bad cinema, bad art, etc. Enjoying objectively bad art seems perfectly justifiable position from utilitarian or hedonistic grounds.

You realize no one cares enough to read this shit and you just wasted your time right?

>It's bad to live in an echo chamber where you are given constant affirmation
What the fuck do you think this thread, and really most of Sup Forums actually is?

You're so full of shit kid, you're not pushing anyone to change their taste, you're just shitting on them based on some flawed sense of superiority. You can't force someone to get better taste, and more importantly there is no such thing as objectively "good" taste. Believe it or not, plenty don't give a shit about that kind of thing at all, and that's perfectly fine. You're not doing any kind of a public duty by shitting on other people when completely unprovoked, you're just a fucking asshole.

You probably have shit taste too.

Hahaha this post represents like everything wrong with Sup Forums

Because the consumption of low quality shit by a large amount of people encourages the production of more low quality shit. The standard is lowered, and those that may have put effort into something before no longer will, because they can make just as much money without the effort. This is why the film industry pumps out complete trash on a yearly basis.

Why are you on this board?

Yes of course, you can accept blissful ignorance and it's perfectly okay.

But consider the extreme examples: cannibalistic societies, societies with human sacrifice, cults, cults that practice inbreeding or mass suicide, religions that indoctrinate terrorists.. etc
Obviously those are the most extreme examples, but those are all caused by lack of perception. Listening to "bad music" or watching "bad movies" have less serious consequences, but can support negative aspects of the industry they're a part of

>why would we ever go live in huts? this here cave provides just as much shelter

But those people still enjoy the shitty music and shitty films pumped out every year; their enjoyment is not lessened by the low artistic merit of that which causes it.

The existence and production of shitty music, art and films doesn't disturb the existence and production of good music et al., so people with good taste aren't denied good art due to the existence of bad art.
What are the bad consequences of listening to bad music though? I would have thought the most disastrous consequences to stem from art would be that which stems from hate mongering propaganda, which can exist in good art as well as bad.

>What the fuck do you think this thread, and really most of Sup Forums actually is?
Oh I'm well aware

>you're just shitting on them based on some flawed sense of superiority
Like I said, whether the criticism is valid or not, criticism is necessary.

>You can't force someone to get better taste
Like I said, when you introduce a criticism to someone, it is up to them whether they accept or reject it

>there is no such thing as objectively "good" taste.
Yes. But people who develop their taste from a single source (like Sup Forums, or the radio, or their friends, or wherever) may be missing out on something that they might truly enjoy. Expanding your horizons should be encouraged, even if it appears in the form of rude or abrasive criticisms

>You're not doing any kind of a public duty by shitting on other people when completely unprovoked
That was my first post in this thread

That ignores the argument completely. One would presumably have a more comfortable life in a hut, but one would not necessarily gain any more enjoyment from listening to better music. I know plenty of people who would rather listen to Ariana Grande than they would Johann Sebastian Bach, and indeed would gain far more enjoyment from the former. In this case improving the quality of the music they listen to would actually be detrimental to their enjoyment, so would be immoral from a utilitarian perspective.

...

>not necessarily gain any more enjoyment from listening to better music

I think the point here is
>not necessarily
because you don't know until you try.
I can appreciate a lot more music than I did in the past, and even appreciate the music I used to enjoy even more. and it was from nothing more than simple criticisms.
When you start to ask yourself why you like what you do, and you can figure that out, then when you hear a new album or watch a new film, you don't need confirmation from anyone else. You've listened to enough music to understand exactly why you like the stuff you like, you don't need to make a post on Sup Forums saying "is this good or bad?", because you've made your informed decision. I'm just trying to say that your decision needs to be informed.
exposure is how you inform yourself

and even still, asking Sup Forums "what did you think?" may not be an attempt to decide whether or not you like something, but a gathering of opinions from different people. You may not agree with any of them, and even though people say "I don't enjoy x genre" or that "it has too much y", you can disagree. Or maybe they bring up a criticism which interests you like "it's a less interesting version of z". And then you can go and see why they think z is so great
all Im trying to say is criticism is important

>The existence and production of shitty music, art and films doesn't disturb the existence and production of good music et al., so people with good taste aren't denied good art due to the existence of bad art.

This is actually untrue.
Hollywood is an industry built almost entirely off of ticket sales/profits, and the music industry functions similarly.
Art movies or movies that push boundaries (might not sell tickets), are rarely if ever funded. This means funding will go to whatever sells the most tickets, which means the lowest common denominator, which means reboots, sequels, adaptations, or just carbon copies of pre-existing films. because those are all things that are shown to sell tickets
so artistic films still get made, but they have smaller budgets and are released to smaller audiences, with smaller marketing budgets. so a lot less people will experience them.

Also, movies that have a large budget and have funding may be edited and watered down according to whatever market analysis shows as selling more tickets. This is how we end up with movies like Suicide Squad, or the Fantastic Four. A studio gives the movie to a director who has his own artistic vision, but before releasing the movie, they see a different style of movie being a lot more popular, so instead of trusting the directors intended vision, they edit and rewrite in an attempt to refurbish the film. And we end up with something that wasn't what the director intended, and there is a clash of intended tones/goals/message in the movie.

I'm not sure if you're the user who posted but working on the assumption that you are you originally advocated ridiculing people who have bad taste. I think there's a big difference between encouraging someone to try new stuff and ridiculing them. Ridicule always has the effect (if it is successful) of creating embarrassment with regards to what is ridiculed. Indeed someone may broaden their tastes as a result (this is by no means certain or even likely), but only with having scorched earth of what was left behind; encouraging someone to broaden their tastes still leaves someone able to enjoy what their original taste was.
Art films are often funded by socialistic enterprises and charities. This non profit-driven funding actually encourages their quality. Subversive films are not possible to produce commercially because their subversive nature will always as a matter of course be seated in opposition to commercial audiences. Hollywood films don't siphon off audiences and profits from art films, as these audiences would not see these art films otherwise, no more than a teenage fan of Taylor Swift is likely to listen to serialism if all other options are closed to her.
I really don't think the popularity of mainstream films impacts on the popularity of art films as usually they have very different audiences. No profit driven enterprise can ever produce good art by nature of pandering to the audience; an artist may sell his work, and it may be good and there is no problem there, but if he panders to his audience in order to gain as many sales as possible then he will end up painting kitsch and cloying narrative paintings with some pastoral scene and some figures in the foreground in the romantic style. In this way art film and mainstream film exist entirely independently, one is concerned with artistic merit, the other concerned with maximising return on investment; as long as this dichotomy exists they cannot influence one another.

tbqh i agree with the idea, but you still sound liek a fuckin autist lmao

>liking TOP

>We exist in a zeitgeist bastardization of those principles
Shit grammar

I think that's just meant to fortify the pseudo-intellectual nature of the pasta.

They have some low points but also some catchy points in songs but I'm not like pic related. Did you see that autist writing paragraphs about a band he hates? That's the real cringe in this thread

Just to reiterate my main point seeing as that was needlessly garrulous: ridicule is unpleasant and has the effect of reducing people's enjoyment of someone, whereas encouragement to branch out has problem.
I think you're just trying to justify being unpleasant to people from a moral aesthetic perspective.

Somehow I still manage to mince my words.
I mean to write "ridicule is unpleasant and has the effect of reducing people's enjoyment, whereas encouragement to branch out has neither problem."

>Guys, only say THIS type of criticism

And fuck whoever wrote that. How can anyone think that their lyrics are deep?
