Make sure to send her harassing tweets when they announce their next album so Lauren can write yet another article about it.

Struggling for relevance? Dude they're more and more popular with each year, they already became headliners of many festivals. They're one of the most revelant synthpop acts right now.

this

Chvrches is awful and Lavren is an annoying bitch who doesn't realize she's in the band because people think she's pretty

yeah dude that's like being the most relevant ska band in Tokyo

All, false. Chvrches is one of the best bands now (great songs, great image, great shows), Lauren is annoying to you if you're a misogynist scum, she's in this band before people even had an idea who she is. If you think she became a member of Chvrches because she's pretty you're really delusional (she's contributing to singing and songwriting). Read the story about the formation of this band and shut up.

>yeah dude that's like being the most relevant ska band in Tokyo
Except their popularity is worldwide (including Tokyo). Plus, synthpop is popular right now, unlike ska. In other words, they're relevant, like it or not.

I know for a fact that they're not as popular as people pretend them to be. Last festival I saw them at the crowd was empty and completely disengaged.

Nu male cuck music

you sound like you have a tumblr account

not that user but most of their popularity is because of her being pretty. not even blaming them for that, just the way the world works

>They're one of the most revelant synthpop acts right now.

further proof that synthpop is dead

>great songs
Cite a single one (1) of them.

kinda sorta

thier whole first album is solid, esp the second half.

It depends on location. Not all festivals are the same.

Unforgivable

>most relevant synthpop
Depeche Mode are still making music so, uhm, no.

I'm sorry I triggered you but Lavren can barely sing and the band would probably be better without her but they don't want to lose their popularity

The Mother We Share
Lies
Gun
Tether
We Sink
Keep You on My Side
Get Away
Science/Visions
Now in Not the Time
Clearest Blue
Leave a Trace
Empty Threat

All of these, really good songs.

>Cite a single one
I'm not sitting through the entire album.

>Cite a single one
Why do CHVRCHES fans struggle with reading comprehension ?

she should make porn

>most relevant synthpop
>Depeche Mode are still making music so, uhm, no.
Sorry, but no. DM aren't relevant anymore, their last 2 albums were weak and they're living in the past, based on their legacy. If they would tour only these 2 albums and nothing from their older albums, almost no one would care. I'm saying that as a DM fan.

science/visons
you caught the light
by the throat

>one (1)
Why is this so difficult for you ?

>legacy
A damn fine one
>construction time again, some great reward, black celebration, music for the masses, violator
Quick, name another band with five consecutive masterpieces
Protip: you can't

It's not dead at all when you have Chvrches, Grimes, iamamiwhoami, Purity Ring, Crystal Castles, Cut Copy, Chromatics, M83, Royksopp, Taylor Swift, Tegan and Sara, Sky Ferreira, etc plus the oldies (DM, OMD, PSB, THL, etc).

pick one then, god damn

>A damn fine one
Agree.
>Quick, name another band with five consecutive masterpieces
Synthpop bands? New Order and Ladytron.

No. I asked for one (1) example of a great song from them because I've never heard anything that crests above mediocre. I've never even heard something I remembered more than an hour later. If you asked me this question about any band I liked, I would be able to deliver.

>'ve never even heard something I remembered more than an hour later.
Not even The Mother We Share? That song is really catchy. The question is: do you even like pop music?

That's their worst song imo

Brandon gtfo this is NOT a fucking CHVRCHES thr-
...
...
..
:O
...
nvm.. welcome

(You) have no taste. And you call yourself a Chvrches fan.

>That song is really catchy.
Demonstrably false.
>do you even like pop music?
I adore pop music, I just have no time for releases which do not meet my standards.

Some good synth-based pop:

>Demonstrably false.
Taste is subjective, so...
>Some good synth-based pop:
Not better that Chvrches IMO. At least Chvrches know how to write a good tune.

Hope the bitch dies.

>Taste is subjective, so...
This is true and also irrelevant.
I have a very good memory for melody, regardless of context. I can recall melodies from John Fahey pieces that I've heard once over a year ago, I can recall hooks from songs I heard at the bar last night while nearly blacked out, but I cannot for the life of me remember a single melody from a CHVRCHES song, and I was actively listening (something I doubt many if any of you do) twice through when I originally listened to make sure that I wasn't judging too quickly.

It's just mediocre pop music with a cute singer who wields victimhood to further her career. Which is fine, she definitely has a talent for it and I'm not going to dog someone for doing what they are good at to make money, but I'd never pretend that she has musical talent. It would be intellectually dishonest.

>Not better that Chvrches IMO.
Currently humming "While I'm Alive".
>At least Chvrches know how to write a good tune.
Again, this is demonstrably false, the demonstration being that nobody can present me with one (1) citation of a great (or even good) piece by them.

the problem I have with your argument right now is "If I don't like it, then it must be bad". What authority do you have that justifies you as the be all/end all decider for what is and isn't good? Why must be go by what you say?

>but I cannot for the life of me remember a single melody from a CHVRCHES song
That's surprising because their songs are very easy to remember. I could recall almost all their songs from memory.

>"If I don't like it, then it must be bad"
Yes, this is how reality works. Welcome to the human brain.
>What authority do you have that justifies you as the be all/end all decider for what is and isn't good?
I am the arbiter of my own reality. The same goes for you. This should not be a new concept for you.
>Why must be go by what you say?
That is neither my concern nor my aim. If you come to Sup Forums to not have discussions, well, I don't know what to tell you.

Hence my confusion and request for a song.

You're not even trying, you're just saying "this sucks" because you don't like it.

NO THEY ARENT

>You're not even trying, you're just saying "this sucks" because you don't like it.
Cite me where I have said this.

I swear to god, first thread I've seen where people actually talk about the band and not just how they want to fuck her.

You haven't even listened to anything, you're just saying the same shit in different ways.

>You haven't even listened to anything
See >I cannot for the life of me remember a single melody from a CHVRCHES song, and I was actively listening (something I doubt many if any of you do) twice through when I originally listened to make sure that I wasn't judging too quickly.

>"If I don't like it, then it must be bad"
>>Yes, this is how reality works. Welcome to the human brain.

I consider "sucks" to be aggressively bad. I find CHVRCHES merely bad in the sense that it is mediocre.

Stop avoiding my filters.

mediocre =/= bad

bad --- meh --- mediocre --- good --- excellent

>I can recall melodies from John Fahey pieces
I'm so sorry for you, that sounds like the greatest waste of brain space ever.

ok you got us, i'm going to stop listening to them now since you're so right.

>mediocre =/= bad
For you, perhaps. I don't waste my time with mediocre material, so it is as useful to me in a functional sense as music which I identify as "bad". Because these two things are functionally identical, I see nothing wrong with conflating the labels.

youtu.be/CAo4w2WyLY4
I find it quite pleasant, actually.

Settle down. Just because you listen to mediocre (read: bad) synth pop does not mean you have to stop. It just means you listen to mediocre (read: bad) synth pop. It's not a big deal.

your pretty are determined to say that you think they're mediocre, you said it before, we get it.

>your pretty are determined
Typical CHVRCHES "fan".

>Just because you listen to mediocre (read: bad) synth pop
This is an embarrassing opinion. Could you prove they're mediocre (read: bad)?

>This is an embarrassing opinion.
The opposite is true.

>Could you prove they're mediocre (read: bad)?
No, and neither can anybody else. You can't prove a negative (read: lack of quality).

Typical CHVRCHES "fan".

Then why do you insist posting so much about them? What are you trying to prove? What is the pupose of your discussions? As you can see, no one changed his mind.

You're the one who's acting autistic as fuck. You're not adding to anything, just repeating yourself.

whatt is this shitfest going on

*purpose

Science confirms desu

true, this is actually my favourite thing CHVRCHES have done and no Lavren was required youtube.com/watch?v=4l-d2oDSDIg

no lavren cute sexual vocals, no point

b8 thread, but imo they're already at or near their peak. they might be able to keep the fire burning longer by virtue of their tireless tour schedule. i admire their hustle

She probably had part in it

That's unpopular. Seriously, you don't like Lauren's sexy voice? jfc!

>Then why do you insist posting so much about them?
Sup Forums - Music
Discuss music, artists, and instruments here.

>You're the one who's acting autistic as fuck.
Demonstrating that I understand I am limited by my own experience // bias and requesting help in gaining perspective is a decidedly non-autistic behavior.

Failing repeatedly to understand simple, direct language and provide an example when asked, however...

my queen works her tight little butt hard, what can i say

You were given more than one example. You're not really discussing anything, just saying over and over that they're mediocre.

No man, Iain and Martin do all the music programming, she just comes up with vocal melodies and lyrics for the shit they make

proof? or just talking out of your ass?

>You were given more than one example.
see >Cite a single one (1)

This supports my counter-assertion that you exhibit autistic tendencies // behaviors.

she does tho, they all do. they've spent the past 3-4 years on the road, no small feat

I thought by now you would have listened to all their interviews Brandon, I can't recall the specific ones but I'm sure this has been said more than once. Also she sometimes does even less work than that, there's an interview on Soundcloud somewhere about the making of Clearest Blue and they play a clip of a demo version where Martin is singing a nonsense vocal over the instrumental. So the guys came up with the music AND the vocal melody and all she did was write lyrics going off the syllables he sang.

I think Lauren is more involved than that. She can play synths and drums. She also could bring actual musical ideas to the table, even if she doesn't do them herself. She's not taken seriously by Sup Forums because she's so damn cute, but I think she's actually talented.

Now your just purposely being a faggot.

no small feat, but i do love her small feet

same

That isn't really proof

It's here: nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/song-exploder-the-10-best-episodes-of-the-fine-detail-music-podcast-4433

Kissing her ass constantly isn't going to get her to fuck you.

pff, says you

am i the only one that thinks she's actually kinda gross? i mean i get that 4chin neckbeards like her childish features due to a sexually repressed adolescence, but she's really not that great

>CHRCHES

STOP EVADING MY FILTER YOU FUCKING FAGGOT

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

it's all personal opinion eye of the beholder etc

such a banal band. they make vanilla radio synthpop that's only remarkable for how unremarkable it is.

i wish waifufags would stop spamming them

i'm certain you're not the only one that feels that way

you're gross

too bad

>If any of you silly boys try to hurt me or tease me, you'll have to deal with my big sis! Hehe!

...

She looks like a penguin.

Please gtfo. You became unbearable.

I wonder if their name "chvrches" is a reference to the occvlt.

the v is for her yummy v

Most likely, but they claim it was for search engine visibility. And as says, lavren has joked on stage that the V stands for vagina

that forehead begs for cum.

it BEGS for cum.
