Is Swans underrated ?

Stereolab is more popular than Swans. I know plenty of people who listen to or at least heard of Stereolab. They are also discussed or mentioned more than swans outside of Sup Forums.

idk anyone who listens to stereolab

michael gira and swans were involved directly with the start of the no wave movement in new york. literally playing/working with and knowing every early band associated with the movement.
the rest of your statement is just lol

being as uninformed as you are and trying to shitpost seriously must be tiring.

I'm perfectly happy with how much they are known, which isn't a lot. Fanbases usually annoy you, and the smaller the fanbase the more humble they are and the more I can enjoy the band in peace and occasionally discuss them with a small number of people (swans threads are pretty comfy in Sup Forums) which is fine by me. One of my fav bands, at least top 5.

you realize gira raped a female right?
why would ppl want to discuss a band with a guy like that around. hes a legit creep and wrote a book on the fucked up shit he has done
lets be honest besides children of god and the seer rest of their albums aren't good. ppl just namedrop them to act like they enjoy "experimental" works

Fuck off tumblrite

i've seen swans twice and still prefer his angels of lights era/solo records
least he was honest in those works

you fuck off.

Because people outside Sup Forums don't like investing their time in music.

This pleb cant separate an artist from his art.

swans have 19 million scrobbles, spotify is not the best to determine how many listen to experimental/cult artists
