Team Imagine Dragons and their fans. People who crap on stuff other people like or make are so joyless. And it’s particularly poor taste when other musicians do it. I’m glad he spoke out.

honestly, same. music is so subjective that unless someone is singing terribly off key at all times, who is to say what is the worst. just because you dont like their music doesnt make them shitty.

and really, i cant believe we're still using 'too commercial' as an insult. when a rock band gets played on the radio, they're somehow terrible but when its a pop star, we count the records.

Agreed

This.

Music is so special to me. It's therapy, calming, joy, ecstasy, bops, etc... Who cares what music someone chooses to achieve that?

My fave band is The Ramones. I fucking love Rob Zombie. But my secret fave band is Def Leppard. And I also love Judy Garland and The Carpenters. Who cares??? 😂 I'm not forcing anyone else to listen to it. 😂

exacty. it's personal.

I agree. And it's not like they or their music is hurting anybody. And say there are people out there who enjoy their music and are told they're "uncool" by association. Why ruin something that may be one of the few things that makes someone feel better? Because let's be real - no matter what music it is - we have ALL felt we had our favorite music when we either had or felt we had no one or nothing else.

I mean there's lot of music I hate too! Nothing wrong with having preferences. But the stuff with Imagine Dragons and Nickelback has just gotten mean to the fans.

[sorryeden]

Same.

*yawn*

you might have a point if their shitty music wasn't constantly shoved down our throats on mainstream radio.

You can change the station. Nobody forces you to listen to anything.
