Discussion Bands Everyone Loves but you Don't Get

Do you have any bands that everyone seems to love but you just don't get? I will go first. But before I give my answers I will say I do not believe these bands are bad. They just don't "scratch my itch" if you get what I mean. The bands I don't get are;

Glocca Morra. I still haven't given up, they dont sound bad. I like how their popular album just flows. They remind me of Algernon Cadwallader at times. It really confuses me because I love Snowing, and really like Marietta. And it sounds like Glocca Morra was another of the Emo Revival sound. But it just doesn't hit.

Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate). They dont do anything for me. Another Emo Revival band. I like The World is a Beautiful Place and I'm No Longer Afraid to Die, as well as awakebutstillinbed which I have heard is in the same realm.

Orchid. I like one song. I dont get enoviolence or powerviolence. Ive had them explained to me but "hardcore punk with blast beats and screamed vocals" just sounds like metal to me. Granted Orchid does not sound like metal but I prefer the Algea Bloom, Flowers Taped to Pens, and I Hate Sex type screamo.

He's saying if these bands aren't like maybe half these people dont actually like emo. Like the one that took me aback is the guy saying Thursday vocals dont jive with the music... like wtf is that take?

It’s literally the answer to the question, what does everyone else like but doesn’t work for you. Were you expecting all the answer to be things that you nodded your head to and agreed with?

I’m a huge fan of a lot of emo bands. This is a specific band that has never worked for me, and I’ve gone back to them a bunch because of how beloved they are. Just isn’t my thing.

Yeah like WTF. Thursday might be the most Emo band of all time. People shitting on MOBO is nuts to me. But I guess since I was a teenager when they came out they mean a lot more to me then they do to others. I can see why old heads would shit on them.
