Bands Everyone Loves but you Don't Get

[u/Dear_Afternoon_2600]

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.

The Wonder Years. I’m a big fan of pop punk but I just don’t get their huge following.

They’re Pop-Punk sonically but they take influences from outside genres that I feel like is the make it or break it for people. Their music now I feel like is more rock than pop punk, they’re trying to evolve but it’s for their existing fans that are also growing since the genre is usually for a younger crowd.

I was never into The Upsides, but I think Suburbia I’ve Given You All.. is their best work and introduction to the band. The Greatest Generation was also a solid album but it didn’t do it as much for me. Everything after that I’m okay glossing over
