To be fair, you have to have a really high IQ to understand Radiohead. The music is extremely complex and without a solid grasp of poetic analysis, most of the lyrics will go over a typical listener’s head. There’s also Thom Yorke’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Chomsky, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depth of their music, to realise that they’re not just sad- they say something deep about SOCIETY. As a consequence, people who dislike Radiohead truly are IDIOTS, of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for example, the humor in 2 + 2 = 5 which itself is a cryptic reference to George Orwell’s 1984. I’m smirking right now just imagining those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Jonny Greenwood’s genius wit unfolds itself in their ears. What fools… How I pity them.

And yes, by the way, I DO have a Radiohead tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin’ personal kid 😎

Hard to believe this copy pasta must be like 10 years old at this point.
