Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Muse are Radiohead + actual musical knowledge and multi-instrument talent.
Muse make me want to bang my nut off with joy. Radiohead, not so much.
Some people play music as they commit suicide. It'd be interesting to see if there is any correlation between the two.
As soon as I hear the opening bars of "Creep" I find myself involuntarily making nooses and looking round the room for something that could take my weight.
lol “talent”
Glad to know that you judge music by how much it makes you want to wank, I almost took your opinion seriously.
Of course I meant "head" when I said "nut" as I guess you already knew.
Nevertheless the only wank I'd get off a Radiohead song would be a crywank. I don't doubt or challenge their creative skills. I just find my life force ebbing away to their whining, dreary songs. I know they speak right into some people's souls, but not mine.
Also, I'd be willing to put down a wager that there are more Radiohead tribute acts than Muse tribute acts because Radiohead are easier to emulate because they aren't as good.
You'll find fewer people able to play confidently on a full grand piano, then leap away from it, pick up a Manson Signature and start making it scream like a banshee.
(The Dutch tribute called "Musest" are an exception, their frontman nails it.)
I just don't like Radiohead, sorry. I recognize that this won't be popular but so be it. I think we're both smart enough to know that arguing about music won't result in any minds being charged, but I'll die on this hill if need be.
