It's not like they're trying to pass for high art or anything. They're just dudes having fun making music.
they are so ugly. even the beard can't help them
sad
No, Death Grips past TMS is.
I don't think they believe their music is high quality art or something, they seem like the guys who just do it for fun
Not a drop of pretense in their music. I don't see how anyone could see that.
Radiohead, Grimes, Bjork, Swans among others I'd consider pretentious (although I like all them as well)
bjork, the flaming lips, crystal castles, Kendrick Lamar
These guys made a song about their favorite toy as kids. I don't think they're trying to make any grand statements here.
Just because their sound is a milestone of psychedelic music, does not mean that the band itself is "pretentious."
You can pinpoint the exact moment when everyone sane realised they arent cool

this, AnCo themselves seem really unpretentious. they're just making the music they want to and having a ton of fun, no different from bands like Deerhoof. their fanbase tends to be very pretentious though because ever since MPP it's been flooded with pitchfork-core plebs who think pop music sucks and their taste is obscure and unique even though they listen exclusively to albums pitchfork has given BNM or BNR
anco is fucking cute delete this

There's literally nothing wrong with that instagram post.
Art can't be pretentious only people can. And they seem like nice down to earth dudes. So no not even close
St. Vincent is a pretentious whore
Exactly, they're overrated not pretentious.
voting for jill stein was the voting equivalent of a poor kid asking for a pony for Christmas
beefheart
How? What are they trying to pretend to be? They don't quote philosophers in their music or have public personas or anything, they just make music.
