deepthroat indeed has quite a hipsteresque attitude towards music, disliking things with generic appeal and requiring some threshold of unique authenticity for things to be considered “good taste”
It’d be the same if he targeted any demographic. Say, some edm artist that just makes boring, derivative ripoffs of better artists. It’s the notion of trying to cash in on a scene that’s a problem. 21 Pilots doesn’t do that: they aren’t trying to cash in on some scene. They’re just generic rock/pop
think i found the hipster
Oh yeah, thinking music is bad for being derivative and unauthentic is so hipster

just from a character read of j. tillman (father john misty) i dont read him as a guy who is trying to cash in on others’ existing aesthetic
he’s pretty obsessed with authenticity himself and he has a pretty big ego
was raised in a cult or some shit
He’s expressing this opinion as a form of kissing ass to a particular poster but now that he’s expressed the opinion he feels locked into it and will argue and defend it until you guys get bored and stop responding
there’s no way his opinion of father john misty is based on asskissing here now you’re just adding extra false narrative
Yeah?
Who the fuck’s ass am I kissing?
Maybe that’s true. Doesn’t change the fact that his work is super derivative and generic
Why would someone express such a strong opinion on something that doesn’t matter at all and literally no one cares about
He just wanted to post “fjm lol” and be one of the cool kids but he got challenged on it and he doesn’t back down ever
I have very strong opinions on music and the topic does matter a lot to me

what do you consider him derivative of?
i dont even like his music but i never considered his sound that derivative; especially his brand of lyricism, which i find quite idiosyncratic
Wish I had friends I could be in a scene with…
What a weird thing to argue about lmao
It’s just generic, nihilist indie lyrics.

i feel like father john misty is okay. not great, not terrible
honeybear was ruined for me by my drunk college friends singing it like at the end of every party tho
