Derek™ Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 To recap, for the tl;dr folks:• Some neckbeard thinks that Jordan's lyrics are on par with Plato's philosophies • Same dude also enjoys wooing - and disgracing - girls with his favorite angsty teen lyrics, and insists La Dispute's are perfect for this. (He's not wrong.) • Insists that the band's music is also, allegedly, in a class of its own: listening to La Dispute will redefine everything you thought you knew about enjoying music.And having personally listened to the band, I've got to call bullshit on all fronts. 213041284s, turbobrando, anthemforadoomed and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Not necessarily "poetcore", but bad music in general. Which encompasses poetcore, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paragraph mentioning this is hilarious, only because it's so embarrassing that someone would A ) do that and B ) admit to it with what feels like a little bit of pride. I'm too lazy to read anymore of his stuff. But he does refer to Cursive as 'post hardcore neo emo legends', which I find charming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? I felt the wave of cringes wash over me, in the middle of reading his examples. It's something you'd expect from one of these guys.

circuit bored records Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Dude compared La Dispute to Fugazi, and a hearty LOL ensued. Thanks for that, Rambo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Whoa, this band is just straight-up awful. Some of their lyrics are so pretentiously horrendous, but the most puzzling element of this band has got to be how rabid their fanbase is. I truthfully don't get it. agaetisbyrjun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeine Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Chyeah, after actually hearing them I can't believe their name pops up so often. The vocals make me think '15 year old kids 1st band in a garage/basement.' 213041284s, agaetisbyrjun and bluessinger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korgull Of Morgoth Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Is this people the younger brothers/sisters/new generation of those funny fellas that used label all kinds fast music (emo, metal, hc...) as 'grindcore' in the early '00s? They wore scarves and white belts. They were into Corn On Macabre and loved Pg.99. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and withengineheart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 you must not have given them a good chance. he is an incredible lyricist, but his vocals are not for everyone. I've heard their main (widely praised) albums, and have read their lyrics. I'm sticking to my guns. Are his lyrics different? Sure. But every "gem" of a lyric that La Dispute fans attempt to cite as a perfect example - like the article Rambo posted above - are just atrocious. Some of Jordan's songs have really cool concepts and stories, but I'd say the majority of his stuff is laughably bad. agaetisbyrjun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 not going to read the article but i got stoked on this band in 10th grade and by the time I was in 12th grade I couldn't fucking stand them. band sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Have always thought their lyrics are trying to be deep but instead come off ridiculously shallow. I felt so baf about this opinion I listened to all their records. Then they put out Wildlife which has the most cringeworthy lurics of them all. Why attempt to mature with a fanbase eating it up? As to the article? His only mistake was posting publicly. Pretty sure at some point all of us have had a crush on a band. If you saw 15 year old me with my Black Train Jack obsession you'd probably laugh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and Green Tea Papi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
