Sl3igHer: Pet Peeves - Techniques/Tropes/Styles

Sl3igHer 09.23.20	Lyrics that contain timestamps or time. Eg: I did this at 1, I did that at 2, between 3 and 4 I did this. Hate it. There's a Highly Suspect song that does that. Can't recall title though.
ArsMoriendi 09.23.20	-The pop punk "I'm in my 20s, but trying to sound 13" whine -Guttural screaming -Heavy autotune use -Tinnitus high pitched beeps -Artists that create a huge buildup that leads to ABSOLTELY NOWHERE (way too common in music)
Pangea 09.23.20	- songs that end really abruptly (always annoys me + disrupts the flow in an album context) - two songs that are under the same track (just why???) - tracks that have a long period of silence before having a hidden track or something (please don't let me either wait or having to skip around timestamps)
Ryus 09.23.20	ya hidden tracks suck
ArsMoriendi 09.23.20	"- two songs that are under the same track (just why???)" Yeah sometimes I'll manually separate them
Snake. 09.23.20	honestly when bands rehash old lyrics from earlier in the album to use in the closer when the album not even conceptual is really annoying and lazy
Sl3igHer 09.23.20	Oh yeah, and when lyrics contain age "stamps". IE: when I was 16, I did this. When I was 25, this happened to me. So lazy and fucking annoying. I'm looking at you, pop trash on the radio.
JoyfulPlatypus 09.23.20	- When rap albums need to throw in like 8 skits - When pop punk bands that have aged past their prime still try to sound young - When a modern album has multiple songs that fade out, like just write an ending.
Keyblade 09.23.20	"The pop punk "I'm in my 20s, but trying to sound 13" whine" more like 30's lol basically everything about pop punk, most notably how they all sing with british accents for some reason
SteakByrnes 09.23.20	Hidden tracks are so dumb
Colton 09.23.20	- songs over 4 minutes - multiple songs being mashed together into one song - albums over 50 minutes - songs with uneven volume, where certain parts are way louder than others and you have to constantly change the volume - vocals being too quiet - vocals being too loud - rappers who can't carry a melody for shit - whatever Dance Gavin Dance is - whatever Boards of Canada is - good albums with shit lyrics because of a complete lack of effort (Bon Iver) - metal subgenres (just pick like 5 genres and be happy with those, just because an album doesn't sound EXACTLY like any other metal album you know doesn't mean it's a new genre) - the concept of genres in general - bad fingerpicking
Ryus 09.23.20	genres are incredibly useful for tracking down what kind of music u like even if theyre overly nitpicky and pedantic
Pikazilla 09.23.20	Colton and his pleb takes strike again
dedex 09.23.20	- vocals being too quiet - vocals being too loud c'mon
Sl3igHer 09.23.20	Couldn't get into Dance Gavin Dance either. Gave it a listen. But funny enough, I can get into other weird sounding bands like At The Drive-In, Sikth, Coheed and Cambria and songs on Fear Before - The Open Mouth. I'm refering to the vocalists in this context
Pikazilla 09.23.20	-The pop punk "I'm in my 20s, but trying to sound 13" whine -Guttural screaming -Heavy autotune use -Tinnitus high pitched beeps -Artists that create a huge buildup that leads to ABSOLTELY NOWHERE (way too common in music) Agreed with everything apart from guttural screaming. To add to your list, ars: - palm muting for the fuck's sake of it - use of strings in modern indie folk - overreliance on lyrics or vocal delivery while completely ignoring everything else in the sound, which is basically all modern shitty sadboicore a la menzingers, spanish love songs, and whatever else local whiney fucks listen to
Sl3igHer 09.23.20	Local whiney fucks... I'm crying!
Sinternet 09.23.20	everyone here is retarded
Sinternet 09.23.20	except like people who are cool
Colton 09.23.20	Almost thought you were talking about me for a sec
ArsMoriendi 09.23.20	"- songs over 4 minutes" That's so limiting, like even pop stars have 5 min songs
Ryus 09.23.20	that one is objectively wrong
Colton 09.23.20	"That's so limiting, like even pop stars have 5 min songs" we have a term for that Ars it's called prog rock
bloc 09.23.20	- Long silence at the end of songs - melodic growling
botb 09.23.20	Super high whiny vocals, doing way too much instrumentally when the song doesn’t call for it, the butt rock/grunge “jarl”, out of time/rhythm drums/vocals, dumb misogynist and tough guy metalcore lyrics written by people who weigh 90 pounds, super shiny digital production in heavy music, the boybandification of metalcore post 2000 that turned it into pop metal (a-la rise, Sumerian, etc), there’s probably more but yeah
ArsMoriendi 09.23.20	"we have a term for that Ars it's called prog rock" Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga and Ultra Lightbeam by Kanye West are prog rock?
botb 09.23.20	As far as live music goes, when an opener plays for longer than 20 mins or when locals ask to use your gear, so irritating. Really there’s only a handful of bands that can hold my attention for longer than like an hour to and hour and a half, after that live you’re just being silly
Colton 09.23.20	You could argue Edge of Glory is sort of a post punk/prog rock fusion but Ultralight Beam is textbook prog rock. Not sure how that proves your point honestly
rockarollacola 09.23.20	- The constant switch between retard growls and whiney bitch boy clean vocals in metalcore. - And the crybaby lyrics in metalcore - Metalcore in general I guess. Fuck that genre.
Trebor. 09.23.20	Djent guitar tone
SteakByrnes 09.23.20	how dare you
Pikazilla 09.23.20	Misha mansoor style production
Colton 09.23.20	Ars you don’t have to log onto your alt to diss me, it’s okay. Also I’m surprised I’m getting so much flack just for saying Bon Iver has shit lyrics you guys are dicks
MarsKid 09.23.20	Songs over 4 minutes are prog rock? Damn, ambient has had the long label forever, someone get on that right quick
Colton 09.23.20	Ambient = slow prog rock
MarsKid 09.23.20	"Ambient = slow prog rock" Man could empty an ocean with the amount of bait he's tossing
Colton 09.23.20	I genuinely wonder how people as gullible as y’all function in day to day life
Colton 09.23.20	^ mostly directed at Darius
MarsKid 09.23.20	Shame on anyone that thought that take was legit lol
Colton 09.23.20	It’s always the dumb ones that are confident in calling everyone else dumb
sixdegrees 09.23.20	youre right everyone knows DGD is actually great
Cygnatti 09.23.20	prog metal djent melodeath meloblack alt metal gay metal in general grunge conscious rap conscious pop a lot of "artsy" music is gay too

Pikazilla 09.23.20	wtf is gay metal

Cygnatti 09.23.20	@six soft or empowering music that people play in local bookstores and coffee shops or in family movie trailers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWASeaYuHZo
Cygnatti 09.23.20	it's metal that's gay, what else could it be?
sixdegrees 09.23.20	I forgot about that song lol, what a miserable dirge
Ryus 09.23.20	I've been on the low I been taking my time I feel like I'm out of my mind It feel like my life ain't mine Who can relate? I've been on the low I been taking my time I feel like I'm out of my mind It feel like my life ain't mine

SteakByrnes 09.24.20	Underrated pick too, always was my second favorite DGD album
porcupinetheater 09.24.20	Heavy chugging on the -0-0-0-0-, ya don’t need it in your life
Storm In A Teacup 09.24.20	nothing sticks out to me except once i wasn't in high school anymore and realized any band doing high school video stuff and they were in their 20s or older was weird and the older the band is, the weirder it gets.
Sl3igHer 09.24.20	"anything that focuses on lyrics over instrumentation/songwriting" like Dear Hunter?
Storm In A Teacup 09.24.20	i heard one dear hunter album once and that sounds right
