I’m not gonna lie, I love a good UNPOPULAR music opinion.
One that really gets people rattled and worked up.
And I don’t get to hear them very often, so I’m pretty excited about this today!
Check out these unpopular music opinions from AskReddit users.
1. Strong feelings.
“That Nickelback isn’t as bad as people act like they are.
Now I’m not saying they’re a good band, it’s just they’re overh**ed.”
2. Cut ’em down.
“Most Tool songs would be better as more concise 5-6 minutes pieces than the 10+ magnum opuses they always try to make them.”
3. Disappeared.
“REM were such a huge band in the 1980s-90s but I can’t remember the last time I listened to their music.
No one seems to talk about them.
It’s like they’re nearly forgotten.”
4. Generic.
“I absolutely love Dave Grohl but I think the Foo Fighters are generic and I can’t stand their music.”
5. Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees!
“That The Monkees are just as much a valid music group as any other even though they were prefabricated. “
6. Good point.
“A band or an artist doesn’t have to write their own music to be good.
There was a time when most musicians didn’t write their own music, but rather had songwriters compose for them, or they cover a range of standards that everyone preformed and arranged to their own style.
No one could say such luminaries like Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holliday, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and countless others were not great musicians.
Frankly I think wouldn’t be a bad thing if more musicians covered and arranged other musicians’ work, especially from other genres.”
7. This will make people mad.
“Harry Styles…
His music is generic pop in the worst way possible. This is coming from a person who loves pop music too.
It feels specifically designed to get on the radio with nothing of substance otherwise. The only song I like of his is As It Was.”
8. Lots of good stuff out there.
“If you think all modern rap/rock/metal is terrible, its because you’ve gotten old and stopped caring about music.
There’s plenty of great music being made that’s as good as their 1980s/90s heyday, its just not on the radio or tv.”
9. Long live Weird Al!
“The best Christmas songs are from Weird Al Yankovic…
I’m just so done with the same songs playing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again… starting in October.”
10. Mediocre.
“Lizzo is way overrated.
Yes, she’s super cool and body positive, and I love her for that.
But her music is mediocre.”
11. Uh oh…
“The Stones have some great songs, but Mick Jagger can’t sing and he dances like an idiot.”
12. Good one!
“You shouldn’t be allowed to shuffle an album the first time you play it.
It should he heard exactly the way the artist intended it to be heard.
That includes the order of the songs.”
13. Not a good thing.
“Songs like “WAP” are not empowering to women, they demoralize us and turn us into s** objects, and quite frankly shouldn’t be written at all.
There is such a thing as empowering music that is on the topic of s**, but songs like “WAP” are not empowering, they’re just distasteful.”
