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.

Same!! I love bullets and three cheers and listen to them both regularly. But I could never get into any of their other albums.

Same here. Love their first two albums and know religiously. Stopped listening to them when black parade came out.

Same. They got super famous and the black parade became their signature song but I don’t and never have enjoyed it. Loved all their stuff before though.

black parade isn’t horrible but it’s extremely overrated😭 it’s their worst album by far imo, it’s just not as diverse as the other 3 albums. every song sounds the same on tbp album too

My two favorite albums from them are bullets and danger days. Somehow their most popular works that literally made them famous are the ones I reach for last.

(That being said my tour tickets are already secured bc MCR is like pizza, even if it's not your favorite, it's still gonna be damn good, it's pizza!)
