M8. That’s the spiciest take I’ve seen since someone on here yesterday admitted that they preferred Judge Dredd (1995) to Dredd (2012).
Comment on That time Apple sent everyone a U2 album: 'I DONT WANT YOU.'

There’s not many places I feel safe saying this, but I’m going to go ahead and say it here. I don’t really like U2s music. There I said it. I genuinely don’t understand their massive popularity.

People fucking obsess over them. I really don’t get it. Not only is the music boring and bland, but they’re so fucking smug. I’m not allowed to express this anywhere.

Same here. Bono has an annoying voice and their music is bland. I guess they have fans though, but forcing people to acknowledge their existence was a stupid move from Apple.

Bold of you to say that.

I think Joshua tree is alright but all the other tapes I have of theirs sits in a bin ready to get used for testing crappy decks

I only “liked” it because it was so popular I was afraid I’ll be an outcast if I didn’t. I have a theory, that everyone is like that.

Right? Not even mentioning that bono can’t fucking count.
Though, that is one of my favorite ways to annoy my wife.

I was a big fan growing up. Really liked Achtung Baby and of course Joshua Tree is a great album. I even liked Zooropa and Pop. Went to see them live in the 2000s but by then the shine was wearing off; I was getting older and being a fan of things wasn’t as important to my identity anymore. But I was curious recently, so I looked up when their partnership with Apple started… Yeah, it was exactly the time I stopped liking them as much. It was both validating and depressing to make that connection. I’d always nodded along when people talked about bands selling out, but U2 was my band and they weren’t supposed to do that! Now I feel like they’re the poster child of selling out.
