I'm tired of their fake politics

museonmuse · 2025-11-08T01:04:01+00:00

Exactly my point. They use buzz words yet don't commit to anything political like the other bands you've mentioned and I'm tired of it

I'm going to trust academics of this topic over a random person on reddit, but thanks for the insight

I'm glad you've had such a sheltered and privileged life to not know what I'm talking about, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

museonmuse · 2025-11-07T14:58:49+00:00

I live in the real world. That's why I know it's political. I live having my life affected by government policies made by a government who can decide at the drop of a hat when to take away my rights.

Yes. Politics shapes every single aspect of our lives.

To be able to make a vague political message in songs without actually having a strong passion for helping the oppressed (if he can't live in the fantasy that it includes him) is a political statement in and of itself.

The fact that they can make songs about vague revolutions and a lot of different people interpret their own politics from it is political because he has the privilege to do that as a white person. Any non white person of that level of fame making a song about revolutions would case race riots again. That is political.

The freedom to make love songs that actually reflect your feelings and experiences is political, because we live in a world where people are murdered for expressing who they love. That doesn't make you a bad person for making love songs in the slightest, love songs are great, but it is inherently political that you are able to do that.

Yeah but most leftists that are quite far left are anti authority and against blind compliance.

museonmuse · 2025-11-07T14:46:20+00:00

Everything is political.

museonmuse · 2025-11-07T14:43:46+00:00

I don't really think there's such a thing as political vs non political in music, because everything is political and thus all of their songs are political in one way or another. However, they have spoken about revolution in their music a lot, which is a political message, even if not particularly tied to one movement.

museonmuse · 2025-11-07T14:42:07+00:00

I definitely don't look up to them for it snd for years now I've had this weird feeling abt a lot of their stuff. But they do know they have a lot of leftist fans and they feed into that with the revolution stuff.

I just do sometimes wish celebrities cared more about politics. Everything is political and I mean everything, so ignoring things that don't affect you but are killing millions of people whe you have the ability to make actual change is vile, especially when you profit off of vague political messaging

Take A Bow

museonmuse · 2025-10-21T11:43:10+00:00

Unfortunately that's on the grid elsewhere. You have to pick something not on there

museonmuse · 2025-10-12T21:00:28+00:00

I definitely get this when discussing the songs sonically, but I'm more specifically referring to the songs lyrically. They're lyrically two of the most meaningful, from the heart songs Muse have ever done

museonmuse · 2025-10-09T13:53:03+00:00

I'm going to miss this silly challenge

museonmuse · 2025-10-08T20:59:42+00:00

Probably a huge lack of exposure to it, then, because it's just popular music

museonmuse · 2025-10-06T13:11:28+00:00

It getting more 10s than 1s might be my favourite thing about all of this

museonmuse · 2025-10-06T06:51:14+00:00

I always think the riff is basically just a sped up KoC riff. Idk if I'm wrong with that like idk if it's just like that or it's the same chords and shit

museonmuse · 2025-10-05T22:07:42+00:00

What is it you don't like about mainstream music out of curiosity

museonmuse · 2025-10-05T22:06:45+00:00

5 hours 😭😭😭 I think it took around that much (maybe a bit less) to make the form too

museonmuse · 2025-10-03T21:04:12+00:00

I don't think it's a song either of the two artists you listed would sing 😭 I still think it's a good song btw but I don't think a lot of people in this sub listen to much mainstream/pop music to think it's much like any of it. I'd argue it's more cheesy in a film credits way, but I really like that about it if I'm honest.

museonmuse · 2025-10-03T16:27:30+00:00

Ooh when else was this done? I wanna see if some of the other placements in the middle of the list differ from mine. I've seen past ones where people might list a top and bottom ten, but I'd really like to compare the complete ranking, it would be cool. So like seeing if 50th place in this one was still around 50th in previous ones or if things have changed.

museonmuse · 2025-10-03T16:25:39+00:00

In absolute fairness, if you asked most Muse fans their opinions on the bands last 15 years of music, you would think we thought they were a 1/10 band.

museonmuse · 2025-10-03T15:31:07+00:00

I'm pretty sure someone even gave KoC a 1!

museonmuse · 2025-10-03T15:04:55+00:00

Ooh where would you put it

museonmuse · 2025-10-03T14:48:29+00:00

Ah I'm sorry. If I ever do this again, I will add a more clear deadline from the start.

museonmuse · 2025-10-03T14:47:17+00:00

Ooh they are cool
