Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Wow, there were two sides given by the OP but you somehow found a way to be wrong about both of them.
Let me rephrase; neither of them make it into my regular listening cycles.
... lots of "great bands" don't, because their music got saturated long ago. The culture listens and remembers which makes it impossible for me to because music for me, is something to escape with, be taken away by... Not something to conjure a sense of being in a mall decades ago, or a particular TV advertisement or sequence in a movie trailer.
That's the curse of popular music. It becomes commercial, gets over used, and loses it's emancipatory weight.
It just needs time to fade away. I have reintroduced a bunch of stuff into my regular rotation that was overplayed all to shit. One of the benefits to being old. But, the biggest hit can still leave me cold. Second biggest is usually great. Run Around is still a banger, I feel. Hook maybe lesser these days. Same with BNL. Alcohol is fun as hell. In a 90's frat boy vibe kind of way, admittedly.
