    yeah i know what hes referring to its just lame to call an entire website scum and insult their perception of art because the majority of them dont like an album as much as you do

    oh yeah bc blink 182 has 4 stars or above albums rated over there? even when they’re experiment with their untitled it will never be enough the label you put into them will remain your prejudice wether you like it or not

    we can go on for a lot of names like that, sum 41 etc

    you know exactly what i mean, there’s nothing lame to call out condescending culture - cut it off it’s not about weezer or what i like

    punk rock is as entitled to be great art as your german prog band that never got signed but yall never admit that until some great snob will write something intelligent about it

    I don't think there are a ton of albums that have 4 stars in general like it's not super common

    if the beatles white album goes above 4 stars then that’s too many of them lol

    but it’s a given beatles will always be put on a pedestal even if there’s s*** songs and the album is incoherent “but it’s the beatles”

    exactly as it goes the other way - even if there’s great songs and it’s coherent “but it’s weezer” or blink or whoever you want it to be that doesn’t fit the narrative

    not liking a certain artist or album doesnt mean people have to be condescending

    im sorry but i just dislike blink 182 and sum 41 from what ive heard. other than blink's miss you. im just not a big fan of the style anymore. doent mean im condescending about it, my ears just dont like the music (never heard that experimental blink abum though).

    and the punk genre is more popular on there than underground german prog

    maybe those people (me included) just truly think that beatles album is good, and their taste is just different from yours, and thats ok

    that’s exactly why some of the ppl i named come itt to say weezer new album is trash without having heard it - and because they already said it was gonna trash either way, sure sounds about as fair as you put it!

    To be fair most people’s beliefs and tastes are informed by other things. Cultural consensus is fluid in that way, it’s often easy to go where the wind goes. 80’s pop songs were generally considered garbage when played at shows in the late 90’s and early 00’s but after they were sort of reevaluated and perceived as nostalgic escapist fun with infectious melodies years later then the perception was changed. People will flip on a dime very easily to feel situated within a certain crowd. That being said I do think you’re generally correct not to write off RYM over this. I miss when we used to bond on psych music. My political angst last year tore us apart.

    if you never reconsider your opinion on a artist or some of their albums or movies or books or whatever you doomed with a final verdict some years ago and it can only be that way and no other way (wether it be a positive or negative note) - that’s on you and says a lot about you

    I looked for that tweet and damn is it stupid. It really does read like he’s gonna take points off for it even tho the song Rivers is referring to is about a completely different subject now like he does with tons of his song ideas.

    He seems to mostly be friends with Sam because of the meditation stuff. It’s not like he’s reading his foreign policy thought experiments lmao.

    Like there's a group of people that unfairly rate/review certain bands albums but there's probably a pretty large group that really dislike those bands too.

    Their reaction to Ok Human seems pretty fair to me. (good amount of positive reviews/ratings too)
