Tame Impala

Why does everyone on Sup Forums hate this band?
Is it because it is a popular band that is genuinely good despite being relatively new and not having band members that are /ouguy/ tier like Kanye?

>inb4 XD LOL REDDITFAG HIPSTER MAC DEMARCO COCKSUCKING FAGGOT
>LEL I BET U LISTEN TO DAFT PUNK AND GORILLAZ
>MUH SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE OF MUSIC THEORY AND SUPERIOR TASTE IN MUSIC

I asked my dad to listen to Tame Impala, my dad being a music theory at a prestigious university, and even he enjoyed it.

What's your excuse now, hipster?

Fuck I meant my dad being a music theory professor. Guess I should clear that up be for the XD LOL RAD MEMERS plague this thread

Because it's shitty 60s rip off.

Literally Imagine Dragons for pretentious cunts.

What bands sound like Tame Impala but are better?

uninspired beatles rehash.

MGMT (even tho they suck)

>waaah someone doesn't like what I like
Just ignore them. Let bitter autist be bitter autist.

One word: Hipsters.
I remember when Currents was being spammed, all the love turned into hate as soon as Tame became popular.

Oracular Spectacular was decent and Congratulations is awesome.

Because they still haven't released a new song that topped this

>Being this immature¨
can't you just accept that people don't like tame impala because they make generally bland and boring psychedelic music.

That's true, but contrarianism is also a heavy factor.

Woah, your dad is le music theory Einstein genius at Harvard? Better change my opinion

Lotta effort for a shitpost

>Literally Imagine Dragons for pretentious cunts

what a silly statement

It's true, people here do not like being associated with normies, you can't deny that album was constantly posted here until Tame exploded in popularity.

It's a big post.

back when they released their first record (which is great, btw) I remember Sup Forums creaming themselves over this band
it was when they turned into p4k darlings and hit mainstream success that most negative posts started popping up
statements like "it's a Beatles rip-off xD" are embarassing desu

never met a single person irl who doesn't like them
their are popular af and deserve all of it

thank you reasonable user, I agree also

I think the real reason is (and I'm guilty of it as well) tame impala sounds great right off the bat and it's so shiny it must be great. But really when you go back to it you realize its just trite pop garbage with nothing else to give to you.

>its just trite pop garbage
no it's 10/10 pop garbage
parker is a genius songwriter

Dungen

>genius song writer
>pop
ok. I mean thats not totally spitting on chopins grave or anything

Silly but true

>their are popular af
Tame impala fans everyone.

>muh erudite music
classic autism
different skill sets and purposes, buddy. if you asked stockhausen to create a pop hit he would probably come up with something very trite

Good taste user -_-

ahem

>Literally

I have read an interview where he said he had no idea he sounded like the Beatles. Either he is fucking with us or he's an idiot

They're good, Sup Forums is just contrarians.
They're definitely overhyped though

Are they bad? I dunno I guess not.

Is their music engaging to me? Not even slightly, theres no vocal range, nothing exciting rhythmically or melodically, it's all diatonic, which is totally fine but there are bands that do it far better and more engaging. Also if I want vocal harmonies i'll listen to Beach boys, alice in chains or barbershop quartets.

they don't sound like the beatles
his voice sounds like lennon, that's all
only musical embryos see this connection because that's all their brains could parse when thinking about summery 60s songs

yeah right user, you'll come around soon enough. Some of us just take longer to see the light

everyone rips everyone off nobhead

come on user, It's the same even down to the musical equipment he uses

Lonerism is Sup Forumscore, people just don't like Currents because it's not as good as the first two albums and got really popular with the Urban Outfitters crowd

>le condescending patrician
he's a great pop songwriter, anyone with half a brain can see this
probably my second favorite after ariel pink

sorry, I can't see it

also he admitted in that same interview he sounded like them.
nice try though

when i was really fucking stoned one time i listened to let it happen and i imagined a music video/painting of the rise and decline of human civilization in the future

I [spoiler]love[/spoiler] them, but I'm fucking sick of the dumb comparisons.

>go to shittube
>listen to some psychadelic/alt
>comment section
>hurr durr sounds like tame impala! XDD
>literally everywhere.

No.

People need to get their ears checked.

For real Currents is one of the best records of the past 15 years.

>no comma
Lol fag!

Lonerism was pretty good but Currents was hit or miss at best. It had some good highs though.

>/r/indieheads

you call me hipster when youre the one that listen to tame impala

4 Sup Forums

Honestly I loved their first two albums, and I never really care much for being contrarian anyway. However, the newest disco-tier crap they/he put out really turned me off. I can dig switching styles up, but it was so drastic and imo not even done particularly well or creatively apart from two or three songs on the whole album. Just my opinion, still jam to Innerspeaker and Lonerism tho

why would i listen to this shitty faggot band when the brian jonestown massacre exists

same user, just wanted to add however that a lot of the album was much better live. they put on a really good show

numale SJW hipster cuck: the band

>canät deny that album was constantly posted here until tame exploded in popularity.
Uhhhh, yes I can I was here you spastic, people were pannin this shit since day one,
Tame impala has sucked and will always suck.

is that like checking your privilege but for music?

>band
it's just one guy, like the Trent Reznor Project

I don't get the hate either. Lonerism is a fucking classic.

they're alright. Currents was truly awful, but I did like Disciples

He's from Perth and i'm from Perth so I gotta love him
He had a pretty good mix he played at Bar Pop the other night

>band
It's just one dude.

He completely changed the style and tone of his music.

It used to be carefully orchestrated psych pop about being a freaked out depressed loner distrustful of people.

Now it's upbeat and funky and about changing, being hopeful and in love.

It was bound to piss people off, but it has nothing to do with the QUALITY of the music itself.

The last song of lonerism "Sun's Coming Up" is the worst fucking song i've ever heard in my whole fucking life.
Literally sounds like a parody of a hipster band with horrible songwritting trying so hard to be quirky and "misunderstood".

>i don't know how to finish this shitty song lets put some weird guitars with effecctss at the end xD!"


People in this god awful board think that tame impala even has something to offer, every album of them is mediocre as fuck. Only 16 year olds take kevin parkers meme seriously.

nice

honestly this. some of their early stuff is pretty good but they are basically just ripping off the beatles and psych bands and marketing themselves to the urban outfitters crowd. currents isnt that great, the majority of people that like it are stoner college freshman who are in it mainly for the image. they think they are listening to something really good but really it has no substance, it just appeals to plebs because its accesible pop with delay and reverb on it.

i love mac demarco though

someone's assblasted

cry more bitch

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizzard

shit, thats one of the only songs I really like from them

It sounds bombastic but doesn't back the bombast up with emotional depth or viscerally catchy hooks.
