Hey, Vsauce, Michael here. Music can make you feel the full gamut of emotions. A chord here, an arpeggio there, and suddenly you feel happy or sad or angry... or... do... you?
Emotional dishonesty is a term that refers to cheap tricks and blunt facsimile to manufacture emotional responses that neither the listener or artist feels as a reaction to the music. Godspeed You Black Emperor is notorious for pioneering this brand of music in what became known as crescendo-core.
Are all the anti-gybe posts branching from a surge of contrarian summerfags on Sup Forums, or is one guy getting shilled to recreate the same threads every day? Sad!

I don't even like GY!BE, just tired of the same joke being spammed on Sup Forums for a week on end.

>or is one guy getting shilled do you legitimately think someone would pay someone else to shitpost about a band they don't like on Sup Forums?

The fact that so many books still name Godspeed You! Black Emperor as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" post-rock band ever only tells you how far post-rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Post-rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. Godspeed You! Black Emperor sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Post-rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Godspeed You! Black Emperor did anything worthy of being saved.
