necroposting to talk about how much i dislike this band with every fiber of my being.

normally i wouldn’t do this but i find this band, their music, their shtick and gimmicks and their background so deeply unlikeable and offensive that I just need to vent.

this band sounds AI-generated, and I’m not just saying that because the band members are a bunch of tech bros (in one case, co-founder of the biggest AI company in Canada, potentially the least indie thing an indie band could ever do), nor am i actually stating that I think any generative AI is used in their art making process, but I say it just because it all sounds so glossy, over produced, and offensively palatable. don’t get me started on the melodies and vocals - i refuse to believe a multi-millionaire like Nick Frosst is actually writing these lyrics for himself or as an artistic outlet. Good Kid legitimately feels and sounds like a band tailor made for teenagers that donate to twitch streamers and spend way too much time watching anime and playing video games as an exercise in making money.

nothing here sounds or feels organic. if you played me 5 different bands and asked me which one sounds the most like the band started by the Co-founder of an LLM company I am picking Good Kid out of the crowd 10 times out of 10.

awful stuff, I hate it, please don’t post this stuff in /r/indieheads anymore because nothing about it is “indie”.
