Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Queen the band sucks. I don't get why anyone likes them. Aside from Bohemian Rhapsody, their songs are bland and fall short. Their rock is dry. And the opera-style singing is cringe. Examples:

Another One Bites the Dust

  • Catchy bass line, fun to direct at an opponent, CORNY AF. The song is about people being killed, but sounds like a funky Michael Jackson song with an Opera singer.

We Will Rock You

  • Good solo, repetitive and annoying simple beat. Boom-boom-ch. So lame.

We Are the Champions

  • Such a self-aggrandizing and braggy song. "No time for losers"? Okay, Donald Trump.

Bicycle Race

  • I don't even have to say anything about this one. Everyone knows how corny this song sounds.

Somebody to Love

  • Touching topic, cheesy lyrics and even cheesier choir-like singing. It's cringe.

I am happy for the band and their success. I admire Freddie Mercury's unapologetic flamboyance. The dude kept it real. But, I just can't like the music.

I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand we all have different taste and respect everyone's freedom to like and enjoy what they want. I'm not trying to insult anyone for their taste, but merely expressing my own in a somewhat humorous attempt.

This just looks like a 14 year old trying to shit on older music to sound cool. I get it's bait and all, but it was kinda boring, standard internet vapor.

OP is not a fat bottomed girl.

What bands do you like?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

They were trying to be more prog rock with their first two albums and I much prefer those to the popular singles of their later career

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I don't think they suck per se, but oh god i remember when the queen craze and the rage comic phase overlapped and queen became the hottest band in the universe because the reddit hivemind decided it so. Want 1million upvotes, tell people how you're 12 but love queen. Personally i don't listen to queen at all, because i think they are pretty lame, but i don't think they suck. Their "fans" are or were turbo annoying tho.

Everytime i see an ambulance tearing up traffic " another one bites the dust hey hey"

You're entitled to your wrong opinion

Only good Queen song is Under Pressure and I think Bowie wrote it.

What about "Don't stop now?"

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

Didn't mention Fat Bottom Girls. Pathetic.

This sub is perfect now.

I like how even in a post like this, “Bohemian Rhapsody” is immune.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago

I don't like queen and I hate that stupid song every time I hear it somewhere I cringe. Blows my mind how it's considered a masterpiece or even good. This is not rage bait. I listen to basically every genre but this song is overrated and silly af.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Including it would eliminate ALL doubt that this is a baitpost.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I like Queen as much as any person but I can understand some do the complaints in this post. But I would LOVE to hear some complaints about Bohemian Rhapsody. Even when I was too young to understand music I was like “this is a mastapiece”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (3 children)

But I would LOVE to hear some complaints about Bohemian Rhapsody.

Wish granted. It's a haphazard mish-mash of two potentially-good songs and one frantic pile of word salad, resulting in a scattered, inconsistent mess.

Potentially the worst music take I've ever seen. Enjoy the upvote.

Not liking something and that something "sucking" is not the same thing.

I don't like Walking Dead. It doesn't catch my interest I find it formulaic repetitive and downright mean.

But it's a good show. It's incredibly well made. The acting is fantastic. The production is fantastic.

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean it's bad.

you have my upvote.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I notice you got nothing to say about the greatest Queen song ever, Dont Stop Me Now, I guess theres always an exception to the rule.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

It's so good google made it as the song for a Google doodle for Freddie's birthday some years ago.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's a funny way to spell Ogre Battle.

One of my favorite things I've seen on the internet was a gif mashup of don't stop me now with a gif of a porn where everybody looked coked out of their minds and this girl is dancing all crazy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Man, now I gotta go look for this.

This isn't an "unpopular opinion", this is outrage bait.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well, The show must go on...
