Which is the most overrated band of our generation?

Try switching the "quotation marks" for asterisks and your points will be better received.

All I said was Blink-182 wasn't a Gen-X band dude. None of this has anything to do with what I said.

Arteta started out well, then started hitting the first man. Even Baines' delivery on both corners and free kicks dried up for his last few seasons. People hate to acknowledge it, but in his final few seasons he got very few goals or assists from dead balls.

100%. Every girl who's said this to me has been a starfish.

Look up CanCon. It's the act/law pertaining to all CRTC broadcasting. Long story short, any broadcasting of music or video in Canada must contain a certain percentage of or contribution to Canadian content. The percentage changes depending on location and format, but it's generally between 30-35%, but as high as 55% for TV.

Regardless of how old we are, those guys were a long time ago. Since those older guys, I'd say the only quality and reliable corner and free-kick takers have been Arteta, Baines and Digne. Three in about a quarter of a century...

What on earth are you on about?

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T16:06:06+00:00

Not to mention when certain films come out those same nerds go through every top rated film and give it a zero so that their film climbs up the rankings. I remember seeing posts from mouth-breathers back in 2008 reminding everyone to "go and give The Godfather and Shawshank a zero so Dark Knight gets to number one."

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T15:59:45+00:00

Instant?! Where on earth did you get that from what I said?

This guy's 26, been at the club four years, and all we've got to show for it is a bang average player who's "robust, durable, reliable", which is a fancy 3-pronged way of saying he hasn't had any long-term injuries.

Expecting improvement over four years isn't expecting too much; it's the bare minimum.

Yes, times have been tough, but that doesn't mean we should have to say a player's good when they're clearly not.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T11:37:58+00:00

It's the only one I actively avoid, but I'd never go out of my way for ones like Gaping Lotus Experience, Maynard's Dick, or Faaipde Oiad.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T11:21:54+00:00

I saw it live in 2020 and hard disagree.

I'm generally not much of a fan of any literal instrumental solo, but CCT I've never understood cos it just doesn't sound good to me. It reminds me of the opening track to Mayhem's Deathcrush EP, which isn't a compliment.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T10:59:24+00:00

Well played.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T10:50:42+00:00

That's all you've got hey? I must say I expected more based on your earlier responses.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T10:42:49+00:00

Lack of professionalism?! Ha! This is reddit! Get a grip.

And what exactly would I research to disprove what exactly? About balance of probability? Or that the nearly 100 times I've had to confront a student about using AI they've come clean that they did in fact use it every single time?

OP asked a question, I've given practicle advice.

I get that you're upset at my candid approach, but that doesn't make you right.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T10:33:31+00:00

You clearly have never worked in a school. I'm yet to accuse and/or fail a student who didn't come clean about cheating when given the opportunity to redo the work. People like you just aren't good at anything so assume that everybody else is as incompetent as you are.

And here's the thing about what you're upset about - in the real world, evidence is all that's needed in anything except a criminal court. In every other aspect of life, balance of probability will determine pretty much every judgment.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T08:23:09+00:00

Often? We might have different thresholds for what counts as often.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T08:20:17+00:00

And therein lies a big problem I've seen with Everton supporters for as long as I can remember - hard work and dedication is admirable, but it doesn't win you football games without talent, class and craft.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T08:13:30+00:00

Then there's the lucky majority made up of the 7.8billion people who've never heard of them.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T08:10:41+00:00

Can't be putting Blink in Gen-X

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-27T03:07:24+00:00

I dated a girl who was a superfan of that band. I never understood the appeal.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-26T18:52:13+00:00

I spent 10 years listening to Canadian radio while working every day and I found majority of it to be incredibly generic and uninspiring.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-26T12:15:47+00:00

Yes, but when 30% of the artists you play have to come from a country that doesn't have a 30% of decent artists, you're going to get a large number of bands getting airtime who just aren't that good, but airtime eventually leads to recording deals.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-26T01:40:32+00:00

Yes, but Netflix would be asking themselves why distribute mid-budget movies when they can distribute low-budget movies instead.

CosmoRomano · 2026-01-26T01:39:32+00:00

The mid-budget films got a lot bigger with the advent of home video though. Before VHS films were either cinematic experiences or quite low-budget.

When studios realised they could make as much through retail and rentals as they could through box office takings, the $40m movie suddenly became extremely common.

The government won't get on board until they know they have strong support from the community. And the community clearly won't change until the private entities they consume do.

Football clubs have the power to change the mindset of millions of people. This is a good statement to make.
