I feel, as a musically and culturally aware college student in 2017, as if their music is being SPECIFICALLY marketed towards me, or at least my demographic, and it all feels so vapid and fake. I think the problem is that they are just too trendy, and as a result of that their music doesn't stick with me at all. Their albums feel disposable and meaningless. It also feels as though it is being targeted towards people who THINK they have good music taste or THINK they know something about music because they watch Fantano or read Pitchfork, but in reality if you put on a Coil album or a Yes album around them they would react with revulsion, because it doesn't fit their ultra-fashionable instagram aesthetics. What do you guys think? Are these valid opinions?
I feel almost personally offended by Brockhampton

fuck off loser
what do you expect from a cuck group that literally raps about respecting women
>respecting women is for cucks now
haha grab her by the pussy, yes MAGA XDDD
They're literally just Diet Odd Future
They're Odd Future MAX
No, Brockhampton is actually terrible. Both Saturations were trash, and I doubt this new one is good either. Their music is the equivalent of freestyling with your friends during lunch break and then deciding to become rappers so you search "trap beat" on youtube.
pmuch this
> muh prog n coil
Dude, if you don’t like it it’s fine but to say it’s vapid is incorrect. They obviously care about what they gotta say if you see them in interviews n shit, and I don’t think they’re “targeting” anyone bc they’re not some corporation trying to just make money (tho I won’t deny they are trying to make profit)
I think that a group having large appeal doesn't automatically make them bad, but that's just me.
doing a verse about shooting people who don’t respect your mommy right after a verse about doing a shit ton of drugs on top of a beat that goes hard as shit is just plain comical
save your messages for a different song
t. doesn't know what vapid means
meant for this fag of course
i mean they dont take themselves too seriously i mean they label themselves as a boy band i dont think we can expect a wutang clan outta this
most comparable is to odd future, which i think brockhampton does shit much better
I know the circle jerk is to hate on BH, but I've enjoyed them so far. The only member I can see splitting and doing well would be Ameer.
But yeah they definitely have no tyler or earl
I dont give a shit about Brockhampton, of course they're a sellout group. I care more that you literally equated respecting women to being for cucks, which is just as comical if not more so than anything some vapid college rap can do.
If you consider Diet to be the superior version of a drink, yes.
I don’t like preachy music and I sure as fuck don’t listen to rap to hear positive messages
>oh man im so fuckin mad right now someone called me a cuck on Sup Forums holy FUCK
>sell out
>oh man someone called me out for saying something stupid on Sup Forums HOLY FUCK
Ya you're pretty much spot on OP
you know what you’re right user i’m really proud of you for standing up for women in a thread about some group you self admittedly don’t even care about on an angolan ship-in-a-bottle enthusiast forum
keep up the good work and make sure you get your recommended soy intake for the day :)
Brockhampton is a boyband for art school students
You are a demographic, just like everyone else
it's 2017, you don't have to sign to sell out (and you can't blame them).
anyone who doesn't sell out is either already comfy or extremely short sighted.
>they’re “targeting” anyone bc they’re not some corporation trying to just make money
I believe they are definitely targeting a demographic of artsy, hipster-ish teenagers because, as I said before, it seems specifically made to appeal to that audience. I know this because I spend a lot of time around people like this, I know what they like. Go on any BH members instagram account, it's all the same "lol I don't care at all, look I dyed my hair but at the same time my nonchalance is part of some overall extremely trendy post-ironic internet movement" thing. Like this kind of shit appeals DIRECTLY to pseudo-artsy edgy teenagers. I'm sure they care about what they're doing, obviously, because it is literally their livelihood. But the way their music seems to go directly for trends that are popular among a teenage demographic in 2017, literally hitting ALL THE MARKS without fail (hip-hop music because that's in the zeitgeist with teenagers right now, extremely trendy post-ironic twitter and instagram personas, checking all the boxes for correct slang and attitudes, progressive attitudes (not that that is a bad thing, I'm fairly left-leaning myself, but you can't tell me this doesn't appeal to the audience of the current artsy college generation), long, vague music videos, themes of youthful love and having fun in the summer, the list just could continue forever) is undoubtedly pretty vapid.
>admits to being part of sjw callout culture
back to r/music boi
>"underground" rap group suddenly rises to meteoric fame
>most prominent member is gay and raps about it constantly
hmmmmmm... really makes u think.......
I love yes and brockhampton
then what the fuck do you listen to rap for
bangers lad
It doesn't need to be said that they're not good
>no judging music by it's quality, just it's front-runners
wow what a special fucking snowflake. kys for thinking it was worthwhile to say this
rap is bad
Kmart Wu Tang
That's fair, but so is circle jerking over if a group is sellout/industry plant
I like shitting up these threads because soundcloud fags get really upset really easily
Oh, by all means, carry on then
will do friendo
I have no idea since I’ve never listened to Brockhampton but what you’re describing sounds like a thing that very much exists, whether it be just for Brockhampton or not
Making music about social shit is for creatively trite people
You are new here
I don’t know why people continue to compare them to OF
They sound nothing alike.
Brockhamptons sound is way more vast and different.
why are you so angry
They've said they draw huge inspiration from OF
I just wish these faggots would stop with the CAPSLOCK EVERYTHING thing and just title their songs normally. Also kinda funny to hear these guys rap like they're hard when they're all skinny soyboy-looking dudes.
Brockhampton's entire image is just so fucking insufferable. I can't wait for this shitty group to break up and fade into obscurity.
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW
brock hampton is odd future for kids who weren't old enough to listen to odd future when odd future was popular
bump
>but in reality if you put on a Coil album or a Yes album around them they would react with revulsion
but i like brockhampton and like both of those artists
Don't get the hate.
Everybody was shitting their pants when Sat1 dropped. Now they got some tail wind and Reddit is going full autisimo on their music people are hating on them.
agreed. its such an obvious cash in on the tame impala, mac demarco henlo fans.
Tripfag
>valuable opinion
t.16 yr old
Literally complaints that are unrelated to the music, nerd
I never come to Sup Forums, and now I remember why. It's all teenagers and tripfags with shit 3deep5u tastes.
they are odd future without the authenticity. they seem like they saw odd futures success, analyzed what they did, and re-created it with a more family friendly and progressive image. their whole gimmick of "we are a hip hop boy band" is also just annoying and doesn't feel genuine. wouldnt be surprised if they met each other in a marketing course in college.
>they are odd future without the authenticity.
wrong. they're odd future without the irony.
Coil and Brockhampton are both fantastic, shut up
they met on KTT lol
Lil Pump exists but you want to criticize Brockhampton?
Neo-Sup Forums, everyone.
>I don’t like preachy music and I sure as fuck don’t listen to rap to hear positive messages
Get the fuck out of my genre. It's faggots like you that have been ruining hip hop for the last 5 years by giving every Lil Piss and Lil Poop a pass because "lol its lit". Kys.
Sup Forums is the only place in the world where you can have dozens of threads worshiping Lil Pump and Lil Peep but then when people wanna talk about Brockhampton they get triggered lmfao
grow up faggt and listen 2 sum good music
youtube.com
>Coil album or a Yes album
cute, the first-week-on-rym avant-teen embryo feels superior to retards one tiny step below him
I'd react to Yes with revulsion because it's boring wanky pseudo-intellectual nerdy prog rock
Coil is tight tho
It was the tripfaggot who assumed I was a teenager.
What the shitty new Eminem album?
Get fucked
You almost certainly are a teenager, since you post on Sup Forums and aren't a tripfag.
Brockhampton works better than OF as a group, but Tyler is better than all of Brockhampton combined
>but Tyler is better than all of Brockhampton combined
not true btw
drop your trip faggot
give me ONE (1) undeniably good reason to respect women.
>trip
I mean musically, they're more or less on the same level. Equally bad production, equally bad songwriting. People who hate Lil Pump for being dull and uninspired but like Brockhampton for also being dull and uninspired are hypocrites. "Bangers" were a mistake.
also lil pump fans aren't pretentious crybabies
>I mean musically, they're more or less on the same level.
Kek. No. No they're not. Fuck off with your false equivalencies.
Reddit tends to have that effect
...
Not just Brockhampton, but modern leftfield hip-hop in general falls into your description OP.
>he's not a far-left anti-Democrat socialist
lmao
It does
no yous (you)
BOY
SMINEM
COOL
>it's a brockhampton thread on Sup Forums
