Hypothesis: there is a nearly perfect, negative correlation between how much people describe a band as “amazing” and how “amazing” they actually are. Basically, the more people online call a band “amazing” the more likely they are to be pretentious wieners who make music for other pretentious wieners with low self-esteem, with the central theme of the music being about how ur a pretentious wiener with low self-esteem (complete with rebloggable lyrics that validate your self-centered tween angst rly speak to you).
For example, bands that everyone calls “amazing”: Bane, Have Heart, Fugazi, Alkaline Trio, Defeater, Touche Amore, La Dispute, Botch, etc aka girlfriend-hardcore. How could u possibly think this is “amazing” lol?! Maybe if u have low t.
Bands that nobody has ever called “amazing”: Emmure, The Acacia Strain, Suicide Silence, The Summer Set FTSK, Issues, I See Stars, Hatebreed, These Hearts, A Memoria Brooded.
