Imagine how much less beautiful the world would be if this face weren’t allowed to succeed

I don’t like calling people ugly but Hobo Johnson looks like a homeschooler who had his lunch money bullied from him

Isn’t this extremely genre dependent? And regardless, this has been going on for a long time.
The Supremes? Good looking gals (and great music IMHO).
Grateful Dead? Sure, rough around the edges.
The Doors? Um…ever seen a picture of Jim Morrison? Dude would make Derek Zoolander blush.
Out of curiosity, I asked Spotify for modern metal music, and I got The Black Dahlia Murder — frontman looks like a regular dude who I’d grab a beer with.
Yeah, modern pop places a ton of emphasis on looks, sure. But I think this has been pretty prominent in music for a very long time, be it the airbrushed R&B of the sixties, the androgynous glam of the eighties, or the metro sexual (guy)/model-esque looks of modern pop.

Beauty is also within the eye of the beholder, many forget this.
My first proper boyfriend was very attractive to me, because he resembled Jarvis from Pulp. Not everyone’s cup of tea, yet I found that look very attractive.

Listen to ugly people music (or vtuber music, same thing (na, just kidding around with vtuber insecurities (help I’m trapped inside this nested parenthesis)))
Emerald@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Are you calling vtubers ugly?
TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Oh no! You’ve got trapped in the first level of nested parenthesis! To get out, you need to go down two levels to where I was trapped, and here’s the tricky part, you have to make sure you leave with the correct number of parenthesis and then you are out ok.

The issue is marketing, go to Bandcamp and have a route around
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Which route should I take?
sirico@feddit.uk 3 months ago
I specified around so the most circular.

Marcus King ROCKS and he is not good looking. Charismatic as fuck on stage too.
I think there is about the same proportion of good music to bad as there ever was, you just don’t hear the bad music of the past because it didn’t last l.

Don’t forget about the halo effect. Someone on stage doing a killer set is going to seem hotter. When someone is good at one thing, we start to think they’re good at everything (where being hot is a thing).

I’d like to thank this thread for reminding me to check out some new music. Just today, I have discovered MJ Lenderman and Still House Plants who both seem to be doing some cool stuff that’s right up my alley. There’s a new Mogwai track released a few days back and Sumac just released an amazing sludge metal album, even though I’m not really into sludge, it might convert me. A quick few image searches shows me that none of them are particularly attractive. Music has always been, and always will be awesome.

Nonsense. Anyone can make music if they want to and are able to.

Music is better when you listen to what brings you joy and stop carrying about the physical appearance of the artist.

Ed Sheeran seems to be doing alright
Ugly might be a strong word. Definitely not conventionally attractive though.

Dude, Mike Brown has a huge fringe of white hair on his beard and Jim Conti has a beer gut and a dad bod.
No hate because I’ve got all three but damn does it make me feel like 2007 was a long damn time ago.
