I know isnt it? Savanna,Do you actually have their songs? and you like the kings? That's unusual. I've never met anyone past the age of 12 who liked them. Not that I'm not making fun of you at all!no, I'm just surprised Not making fun...? Hahaha....yeah suuure....no one over 12...pfff! I have a wide range of taste in music, that's all. Everyone can boast that they love my morning jacket and bon iver all they want, but you know they crave to listen to something mindless once in a while.

Exactly. People want so hard to try and be cool all the time that it's kind of sickening, and when you like something so shameless and "poppy", they are "mind boggled". Sorry, but it just annoys me and I had to say something about it.

What's wrong with liking the Jo Bros? This has pondered me for some time on this site... Nothing Jazzy, nothing!

It's a question of cool. I think it's like when your younger you're more layed back with music and it's much more about dancing and the 'popstar' image? And then when you hit a certain age it's more about being cool and suddenly the pop music scene is a bit cheesey and childish. A boy in my year who is seventeen was found to have The Jonas brothers on his ipod and most of the other boys in the year have teased him about it ever since. Maybe they're scared they might like it

Then it's societies fault. I don't give a rats ass. I'm going to listen to whatever I want. And the people who do most of the bitching around here are the main ones who secretly listen to the stuff they are bitching about.

You just said you've never known anyone over the age of 12 who liked them

I'm genuinely interested in this and remember that being in different countries the media portrays these things differently and people have different perceptions. I dont know much about the Jonas brothers because the media over here doesn't favour them and their music isn't on nearly as much as it would be in the states you know?

Okay, but then why are you kind of making fun of those who do like them? If you don't know much about their music, as you say? I'm just curious...

I'm not making fun. Maybe I came out the wrong way. I do that sometimes. I'm not one to judge. Believe me I have music on my phone that isn't to everyones liking. 50% of my ipod is guilty pleasure music

I personally don't care for the Jo Bros or their music, but for people to kind of poke fun and basically say that you can't listen to both (their music and the Kings) really annoys me and I won't stand for it, regardless. People who do that only make themselves look like arrogant bastards really. Now, I'm just generalizing and not talking about anyone in specific.

Jiggly & Savanna; it's different in Europe - the Jonas Bros are totally marketed as a children's band. So saying that you've never met someone over 12 who listens to them is quite plausible.
I've never heard them in my life, so I'm neutral!

That's what I was trying to say but I came across a being very nasty and critical. I am sorry.

It's not even about that band, it's more the whole mainstream pop scene. The Jo Bros are marketed over here as a kiddie/pop band too, but I really got annoyed when I was basically told that it's not "hip" to listen to both. So again, I stand by my statement (whatever one that was) and won't apologize for anything. I will listen to my Britney Spears, NSYNC and the like with pride, and play King of the Rodeo at the same time with no shame. That's my point.

Yeah but then said she knew a guy in her grade who listened to them so Haha not trying to be an instigator here, but I had a feeling I was being made fun of. Sure, I get it, it's different in Europe!

Hello,
To be completely honest, the American mainstream accepting and rewarding the Kings Of Leon with a Grammy really is a double edged sword. Yeah, they are at the top of their game, but really, they should be very humbled by this gesture, but more importantly, hopefully with this they can go back to making music of a "Y&YMD" quality and have a large bonfire where they burn all their designer clothing, throw in some image consultants whom unconsciously harassed them all these years, drink some moonshine and wander back into the woods and recapture that rustic spirit that currently resides in Robin Pecknold/Fleet Foxes/Blitzen Trapper/Wild Light/Wildbirds. Just my thoughts...congrats guys!
Sincerely, JamiroFan2000

Hello again,
Oh dear Black Jeans, great to ponder at your ever resourceful, wise and lovely posting font yet again, I hope you have been well too! Yeah, well, The Kings could very well do it, in my view, that is, bring back the spirit of their debut album. I swear if they stoop to having their next album produced by Brian Eno, wear Sgt. Peppers in fluorescent colors designed French battle overcoats with randomized rags on their arms and bang obnoxiously large drums while a mulleted Caleb plays a baby harpiscord piano while whining like Chris Martin...I WILL STOP LISTENING TO MUSIC! Bar none! Cheers again sister!
Your Friend, JamiroFan2000
