Positive vibes
I totally agree but they are a solid live band and great musicians and I love their music, the touché/la dispute split is thier bestProving that La Disputes fan base is 16 year old girls and boys who wear gym shorts to shows. Fuck you La Dispute, you suck.
How much do La Dispute really suck though.
The answer is fucking loads.
They’ve only ever made one good song and I’m already bored of it.
I remember seeing these guys in a basement in Chicago and everyone (ages 18+ most likely) stood with their arms crossed, bobbing their heads. There was like 30 people there and Somewhere Between had been out for a while. I repeat: in Chicago.
I liked those days much, much more.
I see nothing about this picture that sucks. The band is obviously very emotional and what’s wrong with wearing shorts to shows?……..
Just because you don’t like the band DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE FUN OF THEM ON THE INTERNET. Have you ever heard/read La Dispute’s lyrics. They are actually very good. (I know if someone argues this, they are going to bring up the ‘darling’ thing. shut up.)
Alright, Larry, I like you a lot, but it looks like we’re going to have to butt heads again.
Yes, I have. I considered myself a La Dispute fan at one point in life. I was also trying to tell people that Chiodos wasn’t that bad at the time and I had just seen Blink-182 on their reunion tour and thought it was chill.
Since then, I’ve grown up, gotten jaded, and realized that La Dispute kind of sucks. Jordan’s lyrics are incredibly personal. Yeah, they are. They’re pretty well written too. The man’s wife cheated on him. Yes, he’s fucking passionate. You can sure hear that. But want to know what makes them suck? The stupidly overdramatized presentation of them, and how awfully they are balanced over the surprisingly complex yet unbelievably boring instrumentals. Things just don’t work with La Dispute’s sound.
Let’s get to the fan base now. When I first saw La Dispute, no one liked them. They were a part of the Midwest’s DIY scene, along with Native, Lion of the North, Cougar Den, Mountain Asleep, etc. None of the DIY promoters (read: guys who lived at the punk houses and ran small record labels) cared for La Dispute much. They were all really nice, passionate guys, but no one really took their music seriously. This is why they played empty basements for almost a year after the release of Somewhere Between… came out. They then caught a lucky break and got on a tour with Thursday, where a few hundred people with solid tastes in music saw them and didn’t care and a few hundred more post-Hot Topic emo kids saw them and fell in love with the obvious, accessible display of emotion in the vocalist (and only the vocalist; it’s not like anyone gives two fucks about the rest of the band for anything other than their Jedi braids).
Young kids in high school like to make sure everyone knows how hard their lives are, whether they’re actually hard or not. La Dispute is the band teenage scene girls and boys can relate to because they’re overdramatic. No, these kids don’t know what Jordan Dreyer went through when he was cheated on by the woman he loved. No, they don’t know that his lyrics are inspired by Shakespeare, and no, they don’t know who the fuck Comadre are.
This is the internet. There are no rules and we make what we want of it. I’m sorry I stepped on your toes by making fun of a band that I am quite confident sucks, but I have every right to say what I want when I want to wherever I want to. And I backed it up with an explanation as an added bonus. If you don’t like this, propose a SOPA-esque bill to censor La Dispute haters. Until then; bit your lip, breathe deeply through your nose, and get over that people will shit on your favorite bands and probably be right.
Alright, I need a cigarette. Peace.
Can I get an amen?!
