Some bands are mercilessly talent -free, others are simply completely irrelevant. These properties are not necessarily linked, many disappear in the sink at some point.
This is not about these bands.
Rather, it is about those bands that sparked serious disgust and deep -black anger in many listeners, but at the same time it could be represented in the charts and to carry one or the other award home.
Of course, in case of doubt, no one would like to be responsible for the success of said bands. One believes “”This internet, ”it seems more realistic that people would cut their ears in rows in the Vincent van Gogh style than to hear nickelback as voluntarily.
Then there are band rivalries that also divide the fan circle – for example between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones or Oasis and Blur.
But where should you go with all this passionate rejection? As always, it is advisable to release the deep black emotions into the shallows of the WWW – a good collection point for haters seeking help since 1989.
Even if it is not possible to say which bands are really hated the most – here are seven that have become en Vogue to hate them even though they are successful.
U2
The band that obviously does everything to be hated by as many people as possible
Since 1978, U2 has been playing in an unchanged crew and especially front man Bono (bourgeois: Paul David Hewson) For many, it is a stone of the kick -off, especially because it constantly interferes in international humanitarian matters. Some interfere with “”Prediger-Pathos ”, the other accuses the band hypocrisy because of their tax-saving model.
In 2018, the band had a shit storm of opponents of abortion in the domestic Ireland because they support the abortion of the abortion ban.
How much they split the opinions experienced U2 when they forced their album Songs of Innocence in 2014 in the form of an automatic download at 500 million Apple-ITunes users. The enthusiasm of the users was limited. The band apologized. Some don’t even want to free U2.
The Chris Martin band
Is not standing only Chris Martin on it, but is 101% of Chris Martin in it, traces of vanilla and repeating sound forever.
Would like to be like U2 (when they were still cool).
After two wonderful albums, the downward trend towards irrelevant plastic pop scrap began, the opinion on the Internet.
Plus: Have been bought by the commerce and you can hear that.
In 2011 the author Sasha Frere-Jones dedicated the question Why he doesn’t like the bandan entire article. The answer can be summarized more or less on “Chris Martin”. Anyone who has read all of these reasons umpteen times will may enjoy the defense here:
The classic “sellout” band
The allegations have been kept for years: Metallica came, saw and won. With the four albums Kill ’em all, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and Justice for All, they created Thrash Metal history. And then… .. came the super gau. Metallica gave themselves knowing and voluntarily to the mainstream, followed by far less angular, but easier audible and, above all, better sellable music. The enthusiasm of her long -established fans was minimal.
The make -up and finally the cutting out of their trademark, the long hair, also led to a spontaneous migration of fans. Then James Hetfield’s attitude to the bear hunting and the appearance at the Grammys 2017 (with Lady Gaga, but without functioning sound) there are one or the other fan. The question of whether Lars Ulrich is actually a great drummer or a disaster is split – but is nevertheless discussed by page.
Napster baby: May 4, 2000 was the day on which Metallica became bourgeois. This is definitely how many fans saw that had downhelied the songs of the band on the MP3 exchanges of Napster-without considering the copyright. Metallica sued Napster and provided a list with the names of more than 300,000 users who had downholized songs.
Allegation: Zickenterror Deluxe
Red baseball cap + hydrogen-bleached hair and many aggro-vibes = limp bizkits fred thirst. The Posterboy and the flagship of the NU Metal with over 50 million albums sold. In Spins “2012 List of the 30 Most Hated Bands” made Limp Bizkit to space Number 2right behind Milli Vanilli, who have not sung their own songs … which is somehow an absolute co-argument. Reasons for the strong aversion to the band lie in the eternal internal conflict, arguments with everything that is not on the tree at 3. Another reason? The fans. Anyone who thinks that the fans of Limp Bizkit is a nasty bunch of aggressive bullies: Fred Durst thinks that too. In one Rolling-Stone interview From 2009 he said:
“For years i looked into the crowd and saw a bunch of bullies and assholes who tortured me and ruined my life. They use my music as fuel to torture other people, even dressing like me. The music was infected me and we stepped away. Even Listen to Any Type of Music That’s Like Limp Bizkit at All. “
X discussion also provided a deleted tweet by Fred Durst to Donald Trump. While some praised that Fred Durst was apparently over his storm and urge phase, the others accused him of hypocrisy. So everything as always.
Nickelback
The phenomenon
Anyone who shouts into the forest will harvest hatred. If you look around on the Internet, you might think that nickelback would eat catbabies for breakfast, just to produce music freshly strengthened, which catapults you directly into hell. And listed here:
- A Canadian police station has threatened drunken road users to punish them with nickelback music for their offenses, the Australians went one step further:
- The free browser plugin “”Nickelblock ”, every Canadians’ mentioned immediately and keeps them off the user.
- In 2011, 55,440 fans signed a petition that was supposed to prevent nickelback from appearing during a football game. There have already been similar attempts in Great Britain.
- In 2016 Mark Zuckerberg also allowed himself fun on nickelback: In a video that presents the digital home assistant Jarvis, he asked to play some good nickelback songs. The self-programmed language computer replied: “I’m sorry, Mark. I can’t. There are no good nickelback songs.”
At least Deadpool comes to the aid of the Canadians:
Boy bands
Whether one director or the Jonas Brothers, the recipe is always the same and boy band bashing as old as … Boy bands. A nerdy guy (glasses are great, but tie does it if necessary), a bit of eye-candy (like muscular, highly rolled shirt sleeves never and just don’t hurt) and a bathroom boy for the extras voltage (tattoos: yes, but not too bad either). Wonderful recipe, sometimes explodes, but usually only stands around in the corner and molds at some point. Oh, and One Direction once had a song called “Best Song Ever”. Harharhar.
No political backbone
Even before 2019, Maroon 5 had various hate lists. The band and especially singers Adam Levine regularly got their fat away from music critics. Eternal omni presence on television, as a judge at THe voice Or the show started in May Songland, may have contributed to this. Her final stumbling block was the appearance at the Super Bowl 2019. The half -time show at the Super Bowl is actually one of the most sought -after appearances in the music industry. A large number of artists canceled for 2019 to protest against the treatment of quarterback Colin Kaepernick by the NFL. In 2016 he kneeled during the national anthem to demonstrate against police violence and discrimination. He was released by his club in 2017 and was not contracted by any new club. Maroon 5 still played, and also in Atlanta, the capital of the US state of Georgia, which is considered a (a) breeding ground of hip-hop.
Praise: Weezer
Only suitable for masochists
The band that could do that their fans wanted to pay money for never making music again. But no chance: Weezer happily torture and also increase her musical output.
