Panic! At The Disco

I disagree.

See my new post..

That's fine. It's individual perception, ultimately an opinion which holds no more leverage that anyone elses, except for the occassional critic who may have a good track record, personal tastes notwithstanding.

I heard in NME that Panic! have aspirations to become the next Radiohead. No chance.

alternative rock

and the difference between them and fall out boy is that they are actually good.

No, they're a pop band.

You like them, so you don't want to say you like a pop band. The fact is, they are pop. Having instruments doesn't make you a rock band by default, you know.

They are today's boybands. Except they are literally bands.

I wouldn't never deny liking a pop band, but the thing is there are officially labeled as "alternative rock." Well, you can keep your opinion but I'm entitled to mine as well.

Saying theyre alternative rock isnt an opinion. Its just plain wrong. They are pop rock, if anything.

Officially by who? God? They're not alternative rock because they sound nothing like genuine alternative rock bands. They're a pop band.

There's no need to add "Rock", just because they play instruments, can we stop doing that? Thanks.

Hehehe. God.

I'm not labeling them as that because they play instruments. Stop assuming everything. Thanks

God probably does like them, we all know Satan is the one who jams to the good stuff.

If you call 'crap' good stuff. Then yes. Otherwise no, but just to get this out of the way just incase I might have to correct myself later. What exactly do you listen too.

I've done this with a million others.

I say some bands, you retaliate with "They're shit.", yawn. Panic are shit, regardless.

Either way, they are factually a pop band.

Prove that they are. Maybe they're a turn of the Alternative Rock Genre.

-MK

...except there's really nothing alternative about them

I don't need to prove that they are, you're the one trying to prove they're alternative rock. I know they're a pop band that make pop music.

It's nice that you're copying me too, nice to have fans.

Ohh Ohhhhhhh, sign my boobs, AC, pleeeease!!

They're definitely pop, there's no doubt about it.

No, you do have to prove that their pop.

-This copying you speak of I restricted only to this thread.

It's still copying because you're quite clearly a fan.

I don't have to prove they are pop any more than it's just blatantly obvious...to anybody. The only people who don't call them pop are the fans who are too ashamed to say they like a pop band.

They feel that have to attach "Rock".

There's absolutely nothing alternative about Panic. You can't just call them alternative rock, there's a reason, a musical reason, that bands are alternative rock, Panic don't contain said reasons.

-AC

I can't believe I'm gonna do this but...

AC is totally right.

What do you think Panic! are alternative to exactly?

They MIGHT have been alternative 10 years ago...because they would have been an alternative "to the norm".

But these guys' sound is very now and very popular...and there's a lot of bands with a similar sound on mainstream radio now that maybe could've once been considered alternative.

As an aside, pop groups, in North America anyway, have become so diverse now, especially over the past 5 years...and a lot of people think that the alternative "sounding" ones are the deepest, most artistically accomplished ones...but IMHO...most of them just have a surface alternative look and sound, and are actually not all that deep or accomplished...and definitely not all that alternative.
