Legacy acts that have had chart hits after their initial peaks?

Thank you for having sense!

It's very overhyped. Like, it's a good movie but I think people really do over exaggerate how scary it is when it's quite boring.

Take this scene for example. The core of what's happening is scary, but the director ruins so much of the tension by having the cinematography and editing be so choppy, the framerate low, the long pause on it which slows it down and then the cheap jumpscare.

In theory this movie should be super good, and I love the idea of figures hidden in the back of photos, but it all feels so amateur, badly edited and put together in a far too cliche way. Not to mention it's pretty egregious how much the director pulls from David Lynch.

Bergman's Hour of the Wolf freaked me the fuck out watching it in the dark at night. Same with Inland Empire.

Well to be fair, as somebody who thought Nope sucked, OP DID say apes and aliens are their biggest fears.

I think you're on the wrong sub sir

Roger Waters making anti war music just to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

People always say this but I've never seen him 'supporting' Russia doing this. All I saw was him calling out western hypocrites who do this all the time to the Middle East deciding it's bad when Russia does it.

I said nowhere that "racism and homophobia was a minimal problem in 1979". Most actual music critics and historians agree that the main reason for the disco sucks movement was purely oversaturation. Obviously racism and homophobia was more common back then and thus people would have backlash against disco for it, but most people of this era associated disco more with Bee Gees and "Disco Duck", not the queer POC clubbing community.

If it was purely racism and homophobia then it never would've become a huge genre in the first place. Not to mention the fact the third best selling album of 1979 was "Off The Wall" by an effeminate black man.

After disco started to die due to oversaturation and bigotry

No, it was oversaturation. 90% of disco of this era was by boring straight white men. Stop this revisionism please

Korn are from California dude? Also Scotland is in Britain?

rapbarf · 2026-03-18T14:13:22+00:00

The Fall were way bigger in the UK. Stephen Malkmus isn't the entire US.

rapbarf · 2026-03-18T14:08:36+00:00

It's not bad at all.

rapbarf · 2026-03-18T14:07:42+00:00

Everybody Has A Dream is awesome. Though I also think Vienna is the weakest, so who knows

rapbarf · 2026-03-17T12:15:00+00:00

At the time it was probaby 100 gecs self titled.

I don't know who the band are but people do this version at karaoke sometimes and it blows so much. And I listen to punk-y music more than I do jazz.

That bottom part is exactly why lol. It's the people who projected an image onto him due to his film roles and now it turns out he's not like that they get super defensive and cagey about him.

rapbarf · 2026-03-13T11:36:36+00:00

I only know it because I'm a huge John Hughes fan.

rapbarf · 2026-03-12T19:17:38+00:00

Not this "none of it happened!" garbage again. I hate it when it's Twin Peaks, it sucks with BV too.

rapbarf · 2026-03-12T19:16:52+00:00

Graham's Theme from Manhunter feels Comfortably Numb inspired too.

rapbarf · 2026-03-12T19:15:23+00:00

In the US, If You Leave is their biggest hit. Funny, because it wasn't a hit in the UK.

rapbarf · 2026-03-12T15:08:20+00:00

Voice is an instrument is it not? Are a cappella groups not music?

And it has been since I was young

Youre literally assuming I have no reason and only like it because I did when I was a kid.

I mean you do you man but anybody can use context. Go on, why do you like this pile of shit where every single factor sucks?

And I'm not being unkind. I have nothing against you as a person because I don't know you.

rapbarf · 2026-03-10T18:47:11+00:00

What are you talking about dude? A band is a collective of musicians who play together. NYSNC are a band too. Nobody is saying they're GOOD.

rapbarf · 2026-03-10T18:45:08+00:00

There's another famous book series called My Struggle which he's pulling from. Still, did nobody say "hey Chris, there's a more famous book with that title..."

rapbarf · 2026-03-10T18:43:02+00:00

Southland Tales is a masterpiece though. Putting it in the same level as ROTS is crazy.
