Everybody around me loves them, it kind of put me off, so I never listened to them. /hype-hater xD

edit: Though I'm not always a hype hater, just sometimes.

This is the dumbest reason to not like a band. I completely ignore what people say whether it's good or bad and just like what I want to.

Mhhh, the hypes over here are mostly around bad bands. So it's not that I care what they say, it's just that I get influenced.

In another post you said it were my friends who said it. But they actually have a good music taste. It's more the empty headed *whatevers* around here that hype around everything. And that turns me off bands.

edit: Maybe if I listen my opinion will be changed. But because of the hype, I do not feel the urge to listen to it.

That's easier said then done. Your friend might mention a band you've never heard before and say something negative about them. Implicitly, that's going to effect your opinion. But I agree, that is a really stupid reason to hate band. Every genre, including pop, has some very talented musicians and bands. Generally, if a lot of people like something, I mean sincerely, honestly like something, then most likely that thing is gonna be at least decent, right?

Hype isn't a silly reason to hate a band at all , especially if you hear that bands worst song about 20 times a day being played everywhere.

I hated Franz Ferdinand for ages because of this.

Hold on. You're not making sense. It's not silly to hate a band because of hype and then when you find out they're ok to like them? That sounds pretty silly to me.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 06-13-2006, 04:10 PM

I`m saying I heard one song by them constantly and I hated it.

Why would I listen to more by them if I hated that song and I heard it so much?

swim · 06-13-2006, 04:15 PM

Ok. Agreed.
Alo, said she never even gave radiohead a listen because of what her friends said. I disagree with that.

Perhaps it's better to be rephrased, it's silly to hate a band if you have only heard one song.
