Anyone else feel like these guys have sold out? They used to stand against globalization, corporate domination, etc., but now they headline music fests, Thom goes to Star Wars premiere and posed with a mass-produced toy, all their music is on spoitfy (not to mention the Israel concert). Now they're suing Lana del Rey for stealing 'creep' - total sellout move.
This wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't been against all these things in the past. And amsp was underwhelming in its lyrical depth. Making money isn't evil, but this makes me sad.

Always been shit. Sell-out-y now tho because they're fed up.

They're initiating a global takeover for the betterment of mankind

I am agreeing with these sentiments.

I may be retarded and not be able to understand them, but their lyrics arent too important for me. I care more about the sound and what they make me feel. A Moon Shaped Pool is fucking beautiful, so i can't really agree with that point. But I agree about the lawsuit, they should be trying to forget Creep, not suing people over it.

Honestly, who gives a fuck?

No one listens to Kid A for its political meaning.

have you even listened to Ok Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows? Maybe they were shit during the Pablo Honey era, but after that, they were and still are great. Fuck off.

They are a mediocre mellow pop band, you will realize this when you turn 17 the same as I did.

>Thom goes to Star Wars premiere and posed with a mass-produced toy
why are people STILL obsessed over fucking Star Wars. Thom is just a pretentious twat most of the time, he's no better than any redditor
Reminder Jonny is the true genius behind Radiohead

They got older, you can't be a 'smash the system' rebel once you have joined in with it.
It would become ridiculous.

I never liked them. Well, to be fair, I have good memories of making out with my first girlfriend with Radiohead as background music, and I didn't mind some of their songs, but overall, I feel they're boring, and not as original/innovative as people think they are.
Also, having attended a Kraftwerk/Radiohead concert where Kraftwerk played first, I realized how awful Radiohead fans are. Most of them didn't know Kraftwerk and booed at them, even started chanting "Radiohead! Radiohead!" in the middle of Autobahn.
It made me sick and after Kraftwerk's set I just left the stage area and went to chill with some other fellow Kraftwerk fans.
Radiohead played Creep at the end but I heard it from outside the venue because I was already leaving.
Another reason for me to not respect them is the way they ghosted Peter Gabriel with the whole Scratch My Back album. Fuck them.

What the fuck made you think that?

Shitting on Radiohead fans mean nothing anymore.
Even Radiohead fans hate Radiohead fans.

Yeah, good luck finding any fanbase that isn't toxic or pretentious

They grew up. Also they "sold out" when they started making trendy alternative rock 25 years ago. Literally this is how big they've been for their entire career, they've always headlined festivals.

Their anti-corporate shit was just a gimmick. Selling socialism to serve capitalism. Lots of bands do it.

ITT brainlets. It's usually the record companies that hold all the rights aka doing the suing. Also there is literally nothing wrong with going Israel to play music.

Yeah I know, it has nothing to do with the band itself, but it has left a very sour taste.
The few Kraftwerk fans I found around there were pretty cool. 2 of them were from a neighbor country who travelled just to see Kraftwerk, they did a radio show and stuff. Cool beans.

The JoJo fanbase.

Is your name Drew?

>lso there is literally nothing wrong with going Israel to play music.
Financially, it's great for them.
But morally, it's not. And Yorke's pathetic comparision with playing in the USA and mentioning Trump, it's not the same. USA might have a lot of wrong things, Trump might be a dickhead, but USA isn't Israel.
Israel is another completely different anti-human rights militarized nazi monster that needs to be stopped.
Radiohead likes the shekels and aren't socially compromised as they want people to perceive they are.

Israel has yet to literally exterminate entire nations of people and get away with it.

Granted they're off to a good start.

Netanyahu is the monster, not the people of Israel.

Thom has always liked Star Wars. Is he supposed fo pass on the opportunity to attend the premiere just to protect the image of him you have in your head or something? And there’s literally nothing wrong with protecting what they believe is their intellectual property. Radiohead catalogue is not a free for all buffet. Grow up.

> but USA isn't Israel
> they are the lapdog of Israel though

Well, basically, yeah.
Exactly, it's happening as we speak.
While this is true, the people of Israel (who very comfortly live while their neighbor, original inhabitants are getting killed mercilessly) don't need Radiohead as a primary necessity. I'm not saying we should deny them something vital.

Reminder that the natives were also annihilating each other between different tribes before white men arrived.

They sold out with that beach house video

Not nearly to the same extent
