Aren't you the guy who still listens to Sum 41?
this has got to be one of the douchiest comments I have ever seen on GAF

This is how it starts. I listen to them extensively for long periods, then the noid is too much and I have a few months cooldown before they do something like this and then I get back to bangin it.

But in relation to the story, it's super shitty that the band didn't show. I'm not exactly too broken up about their shit getting broken up. Unless they couldn't make due uncontrollable circumstances like a car wreck or something. But if that was the case why not just make an announcement about it?
I don't see anything groundbreaking happening in the songs that were posted so far but I guess this is just one of those bands people will defend until the hype dies off.
This song kinda reminds me of Push It by Salt n Pepa...

death grips is awesome and this is unfortunately not really that surprising given their previous antics
i'm seeing them in nyc next week so i hope they show up to that. i saw them a few months ago and they were awesome live.

Death Grips are pretty awesome. Let them make their art!
yeah because PBR guzzling hipsters trash establishments when their favorite bands don't show up.
Sorry I meant fans will defend. And I definitely don't think people will defend them all the time. Once they get a huge hit the majority of fans will turn on them.
They're already pretty huge. A lot of their fans are Zach Hill loyalists anyway.
Ohk, gotcha. Their first album didn't sell terrible though. *shrugs*
I never understood the idea of band becomes a big hit -> stop liking their work after a certain time. Some people are just odd.

Do they have some shitty audio recording equipment?
It sounds bad, like they're using trash cans instead of instruments.

I didn't know Zach was in a new band.
You could accuse pretty much any artist who contributed to the advancing of a medium of being a troll, but nothing before is quite like them and they influence a lot of artists after them so I guess what I'm getting at is accusing any major artist except people like 50 Cent
(and even he is only a troll outside the context of his music)
Oh my god. Those weren't fans that destroyed their gear, those were people with functioning hearing apparatuses trying to stop this shit from spreading.
Exactly. It's like not showing up to work. Dudes, you aren't 16 anymore.
So you don't understand the appeal of something, and that leads you to believe that people who like it are full of shit? Such enlightened thinking.

ITT people who are confused about the concept of different musical taste.
I see Death Grips parallel with Andy Kaufman. Closest comparison I can think of at the moment.
If I put in the time to adequately explain my viewpoint I feel as if I would be putting more effort and taking the whole discussion more seriously than Death Grips has with everything they've put out so far. So, with my fairly lame analogy - take it as you will.
Get noided.
lol.
Ive tried so many times to listen to DG and it just sounds like shit to me. Its like Saul Williams got a couple friends and decided to troll people. But Saul Williams doesnt suck.
DG fans, go listen to Saul Williams.
Very well said as usual.

finally, an OT hip hop thread that makes me long for an eminem one
oh man this is disappointing, i bet you were really down for hip hop pushing past its borders before too
that totally is ironic, as everyone knows the best musicians all took music theory in your classroom i bet
"i don't like it, so the only way anyone could possibly feel otherwise is if the artist is playing an elaborate game and making them think they're enjoying it"
this is what it sounds like when a 5th grader comes across the basics of solipsism

I listened to all the youtube links. I regret doing so. However, musical taste is subjective /thread.
Lol, their drummer is incredible.

I don't get modern music I guess.

What in god's fucking name was that? What awkward, irritating crap.
Death Grips own.
Also @ people who are saying "I have to force myself to like this": taste isn't something you're born with. You develop it. Otherwise, you'd still be eating dinosaur nuggets and KidCuisine.
Also, you missed the point of adolescence if you only like the shit your parents listened to.

Taste is subjective, and is not a data point used to measure one's maturity.
E: Haha. Yeah it is. Taste is a good indicator of maturity. I'm defending the idea of acquired taste.
Mostly because the criticisms in this thread are incredibly inspid, immature and unoriginal. It's reminiscent of the same shitlords who look at modern art and say out loud "my kid can do that."
Just another notch in the "reasons why I moved far, far away from Chicago" list. Fuck Chicago, the city is destined to fail now. This is a terrible incident that's going to be blown the fuck out of proportions. Chicago was once an amazing city, but it is now so rapidly devolving into a complete shit show.

I saw Death Grips in Cleveland a few months back. It was one of the best shows I've ever gone to. I would have been so fucking disappointed if I went to their show and they didn't show up.

I have many acquired tastes but I don't think this music will ever be one of them.
This is a reasonable response.
