Sometimes, they don't even have to say anything, they just give off this overarching aura of smugness. Pink Floyd and U2 would be an example.
You can't put them in the same sentence. Pink Floyd, smug or otherwise, have a legacy of music that is nothing short of wonderful.

U2 have Bono who tries to tell people what to do. See the difference.

Oh, and by the way, for those of you who think Lady Gaga is soooo talented... I went online and read her lyrics, and they are utter shite. There is no substance to them, not even a stylized lack of substance, its just slap dash nonsense!
Yup. Just like other artists I could mention.

Mainstream Hipster music. Yes it exists. It's born when I name of a band no one has heard, trying to get them onto it, and in turn, the show me a band I've never heard. I'll be something kind of repetitive and slightly angsty, but what ever, angsty isn't always evil. Then I'll talk to somebody else, repeat the process, but they try to show me the same sounding band except with a different title. Then I go to Hot Topic for some cool band shirts and guess what I see a wall of? Indie Hipster Music. And that's when I reach for my revolver...

I'm not a Beatles fanatic by any means but lets be honest, only a portion of their songs are blatantly nonsensical.

Talentwise, her singing skills are awesome and should be held to account.

However, the lyrics she writes are utter trite and should be purged when my Reich comes to power. I may actualy be able to stand her if she grew the fuck up and started to use her damned vocal skills well instead of wasting it on the kind of hyper-sexualised bullshit that needs to die.


OT: If your target audiance plan includes the words "Tween Demographic" consider me out. Likewise, if you have lyrics which 13 year old girls sing at the top of their voices on the bus for no reason then I will not enjoy your music.

And almost all of their early work is about as substantial as twinkies.

If they try like over the top to promote religon or some other great cause to get noticed a little more.

Mind you I LOVE bands that tackle some sort of issue in their lyrics just not when they go on for like 10mins on stage about this amazing thing.

Also this,acting tough behind a crowd of fans:

That song was supposed to be nonsensical. Lennon got a letter off of an English student saying that his teacher was making the class study Beatles lyrics, so he replied by writing the most baffling song he could manage. On acid.

I try to focus on the music rather than their image.

But when an artists image is all that comes to mind, its not a good thing.

Talentless? Pink Floyd? Now I'm the one not understanding. I could argue all day as to why you are objectively wrong in this case, but this is not the time nor the thread.

However, I shall unite alongside you in hatred of U2. Just don't mention Floyd again.

bands who are dicks in interviews. i read an interview with the guitarists from killswitch engage a while ago, and they just came across as absolute tossers. I'd never heard anything from them before and i didn't intend to make a start on their material after reading the interview. They were obviously trying to come across as funny or cool or some shit, but they just seemed pretentious to me.

Roger Waters was the only arrogant one, as well as the music snobs who think that anything non-floyd is shit.

However, may I ask by what measure you call them "talentless"? Because I certainly don't think they're talentless. Of course it's entirely subjective, but really it's helpful to know what people consider to be "talent".

When the band was clearly constructed for the purpose of making videos and not music. I expect actual songs from bands, not soundtracks to four minute avant-garde softcore porn.
