I just find they're overplayed, overrated, and kind of cringey.

Ska is one of my go to genres, a favorite, but I wish Sublime would go away. Every time I hear them I can't get their songs out of my head for much longer than I would like. Every time.

I also used to hear them way too much in a place outside the US, which outside of shitty pop music was one of those "American" bands or whatever they thought, so bars played them. A lot.

I don't know where I said old or boring. I said they get stuck on my head way too easily. I never said they were bad or untalented, I just think they're overrated. And for that matter, so are the Beatles.

But, I guess since this happens with so many bands, I guess I have to like em, even if I don't.

And that's why I put this in "unpopular opinion". I never asked to be convince to like a band I don't like or for someone to change my mind. I just think Sublime is overplayed and overrated, they get stuck in my head.

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.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



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