After this video I'm unsubscribing - don't promote terrible music

We need a love it if we made it review

YES! Would be an amazing and thoughtful convo!

they need to meet, 100%

It feels they have similar conversation styles (except for Matty enjoying being controversial lol)

They would both love it

OMG, the yapping that would ensue!

Happiness is sooo good

I’ll contradict you, just bc I’m obsessed with Oh, Caroline… but I agree with most of what you say 😅

@@jomaix Oh Caroline is My second favorite from the album! Live Version is insane!

If you dont have a developed music taste ye they might seem good but overall they are technically poor and lack any inspiration or experimentation to go with it.

@@108noonoo give us your music taste then.

I was the same as you. Slept on them for 6 years then saw them play their new song "People" at Reading in 2019 and quickly realised they weren't the same band that put out "Chocolate" years earlier.

This was exactly my reaction. First time hearing Chocolate, I was like "Who are these bunch of wet wipes?". Especially when I found out they're from Cheshire and not down south as Matty's singing voice would suggest. But then I heard Love Me, thought it was an absolute banger, then listened to their full discography and they've been my favourite band of the last decade ever since. They're superb.

You still should hate them, pure garbage

@@maeyoung2476 oh, OK, you've changed my mind, you're right, I hate them now, thanks Mae Young. How's the hand?

I’m glad you guys are enjoy them this much, I’ve yet to appreciate them. I don’t really get it. It kind of reminds me of how I dislike the band Highly Suspect, yet everyone else seems to lose their minds over them. Maybe this stuff just isn’t for me, I’m just glad to see young people supporting new bands.

That's exactly right.

You sound very familiar. 😊. What's your take on the story that crosses almost all of their album (starting with "an encounter"). I have..... Theories. 😊

Thanks for that! Just re-listened to it.

You nailed it.

Someone pin this for our Justin please, it’s really informative and cool to know

there are guilty pleasures though The concept is fairly easy to grasp: "Something you consider to be shit, but you enjoy it anyway" As in, I normally listen to the Grateful Dead, Breakout, Beatles, Stones, Kinks, stuff like this. But then again I did enjoy for some time Sunrise Avenue's two hits or "I'm not rich, but i live like a millionaire" song. All three of these songs are. absolute garbage, but there are times when I find them quite appealing. It's a guilty pleasure.

@@guciowitomski3825 and exactly why I said for ME and not for YOU/ everyone. I am quite aware of the definition of the term "guilty pleasure" . I PERSONALLY have zero guilt when it comes to the music I enjoy, but perhaps I am at an age where I realize that opinions of others have no bearing on my enjoyment and vice versa. It's so freeing. I don't judge other people's musical tastes as opinions in the arts are so subjective. What is shit for us could bring someone else intense pleasure. I don't think it's guilt so much as embarrassment to admit what others deem shit. I am not embarressed by much anymiore.

@@ElectricCavegurl but, it's not about guilt or embarrassment towards others. It's about what you believe is bad or good. That was the entirety of my point. What is funny about guilty pleasure is exactly that even though you dislike something, you still like it. It's that paradox that makes it a guilty pleasure. The songs I mentioned are generally well liked and most people would never think of calling them a guilty pleasure.

@@guciowitomski3825 If I dislike it, I have no guilt admitting that either. If I like it and it brings me pleasure or evokes an emotional response. I like it, plain and simple. If I think it's shit. I don't like it. You keep trying to explain the definition of guilty pleasure to me... but I simply don't adhere to that way of thinking anymore. I get it though. It's quite ok that you don't feel the same way. You are entitled to like , not like or feel guilty or embarrassed by whatever you want. ☺️

@@guciowitomski3825 yeah but nickelback turns out can actually play lol

Absolutely agree

couldn't have said it better

I’ve made this exact argument in my circle of musicians too. They’re in the same lineage of bowie->u2->Radiohead->(arcade fire?)->the 1975..

@@connoryballantyne We are on the exact same page! Not the biggest Arcade Fire fan, though I respect their impact and talent.

​@@TheEndless560 pretentious micro-essay incoming... each of those bands I mentioned were pop-distillations of the experimental music of their zeitgeist. Bowie and U2 incorporated Eno & Lanois' connection to the burdgeoning ambient music & early sampling community into stadium pop-rock format, Radiohead distilled the up-and-coming experimental electronic (aphex, etc), 2-step, and underground dnb/triphop into a pop rock format. Arcade Fire took the neo-classical and experimental baroque elements (seen blatantly in both Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld being in the actual band) and formatted it into a stadium pop-rock package ppl could get behind. The 1975 are doing the exact same thing with the fringe music of today- the resurgence of Burial/garage music, the neo-classicalism of the Erased Tapes label sounds, the direct incorporation of BI's sampling, obvious Reich influences, etc. And formatting it into a simpler form for the People-of-Today. Musicheads of the day for each of those bands mentioned lamented int he press at the time that they were all lame copies of 'real experimental music'. So again- similarities shown in your very comment. But we know that's not a pop bands job. A truly good (art-focused) pop band distills those generally inaccessible source materials into more digestible forms for the general public to get a taste of- and then- hopefully: seek out the deeper source material. That's why so many experimental artists fuck with them. They fuck with good art so they're trusted. Idk man- in the sea of over-saturated, boring, reductive, type-beat-style artists: I'd rather an artist thats extremely well-versed in good shit and TRYING be as big as they are. over + out.

@@connoryballantyne Good God I could not have said this any better myself. REALLY good stuff you pointed out dude

@@TheEndless560 are you aware that music is perpetually inspired by what came before it? Everything is an “imitation” with a new spin on it. At least be somewhat intelligent with critique or just say you don’t like it lol

That’s the thing about the band, their music is supposed to be a commentary on modern pop music by using out dated music genres and twisting them with Mattys lyrics. They were originally writing emo music but everyone was doing that so to stand out they created this bright vibrant sound to contrast their serious look. They basically satirize pop music by making the best pop music 😆

Crap

you just made think of Canadian artist Spookey Ruben - he puts prog thrash and bubblegum PoP on the same album! lol

@@xmasburrito that's awesome!!! Honestly though I am so addicted to the entire package that the1975 have curated. They're outspoken thrash/death metal fans too. That's why Matty said what he did about Metallica.

​@@stevenrobbins7402 lol i lost interest in Metallica when they became MAINSTREAM tbh

@@xmasburrito yea. I lost interest at the black album. It had its standout tracks "Struggle within" "of wolf and man" but other than that, I was done with em.

speaking of which, be cool to see an episode on Spookey Ruben or Louis Cole or BILL WURTZ! Creative weirdo music.

Well said! Great analogy or implication. It doesn't matter who Justin is speaking about, musically or otherwise, I love watching him. His facial expressions, his linguistic ones, his wardrobe and his personality are all fantastic! Basically, he's guaranteed to put a smile on my face. So, yes, he probably does hit up the dopamine in my brain. I'm SO happy that I found his channel earlier this year!

@@cindyspowart555me too! He’s a very watchable chap.

@@lindalaw5466 : Indeed! ☺

Have fun! Just went and it is a blast!

Good luck on your exam!

@@LoveBaseballLove thank you so much!

Good luck!🍀

@@heidihall4591 thank you!!

Is it genius?

@@Esafc-lb2sgit is because it is satirising the whole American System- allowing guns. This song is about school shootings and how there has been so many but the government just plays along with it.

@@hanjnk Wow, what a genius idea, it must take a real genius to think of that. It's never been done before.

YES I was hoping he would catch on to the lyrics of this one like he did with Part of the Band; I feel like the credit he'd give would only increase. What incredibly harrowing song content juxtaposed against this happy synth rock jam

@@ilikecows44 absolutely. if juxtaposition was literally a song this would be it 😅 the first time i heard it i was literally torn between dancing and feeling immense sorrow. 💔

Girls might be one of the most perfect pop songs ever written IMO. They've written several songs I'd consider objectively (subjectively) perfect.

Agreed. It’s a shame they stopped performing it live, but that’s the self awareness of them. It’d be weird singing “no she can’t be what you need if she’s 17” when the guys are almost twice that age by now.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Jeanne!

I went in February and the whole performance was insane
