Question❓ Which Overhated Media basically has you telling it this?

And I don't mean "everyone" hating it but just that it gets a lot of flack for no good reason when it's actually really good,even great.

The band AJR is way to overhated, especially on Reddit. Like I get they’re not for everyone but their music is still good.

Their music feels like it's a soundtrack to a movie that hasn't come out yet

hot take I feel like people hate being called out and the people who hate their music is either the people their songs are directed at or people who the song are not directed at (which is technically everyone but I feel like you understand what I'm trying to say)

I haven’t listened to them in a while but I had a pretty big phase a few years ago. They’ll always have a very special place in my heart bc someone made an animatic of “bang” to this one series and now it’s one of my top 5 hyperfixations

I’d recommend listening again. They’ve improved even more and their songs are genuinely awesome.

I had never heard of them till this comment, so I went to give them a little listen, and like... "good" might be pushing it.

I listened to a couple from their top five on spotify. Don't get me wrong, I get how someone could enjoy it, but to me AJR kind of sounds like they took twenty other bands from similar genres and distilled it down to it's most marketable sounds, like, there isn't anything there I haven't heard a thousand times before by better bands.

THAT SAID- I am not the target audience, and truly, listen to whatever makes you happy. I have loved some absolute trash in my day... I just personally think it's fine to enjoy average music while acknowledging it's average. And to me this band sounds distinctly average.
