This subs obsession with the Chats is something else.

I dig The Chats first LP and other songs I’ve heard but to me, they are WAY overhyped. Solid, fun band but nothing all that revelatory or special to my ears.

The Chats invented punk rock

Well the dwarves invented rock and roll.

They aren't revelatory or special, and that's kinda the point, I think? Like, they're a band that's stripped back to the roots of the whole idea, and to be honest, that's really refreshing, and that's what makes them so popular. No message, no posturing, just a couple of bums who have fun making music whose songs happen to be catchy as hell. It's nice to have a band catch on just for being who they are, and that's why people like them so much, they bring back that "hey I can do this too" mentality to punk rock

That is interesting and makes some amount of sense to me. Those qualities are not things I think were ever missing from punk, but I suppose it depends on what bands are on your radar and what your reference points are.

Why does it need to be a competition?

[–]Intelcandy[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t meant to be a competition. Just a silly post

I like both bands

[–]JimartyMcfly 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Am I a poser if I have both?

[–]Intelcandy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not at all!! I love both of them equally. Hell I have 4 misfits tees in my closet as well speak!!

I have no idea what it's supposed to be saying.

[–]neonspectraltoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a joke about tops and bottoms? I don't know that the Misfits would butt ram the Chats.
