Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

Don't you think Viet Cong/Preoccupations is more Bauhaus/This Heat or something than Joy Div?
I can see shades of Deceit in their work for sure, and yeah I kinda forgot about Bauhaus for a second there lol, whoops. But I'd still put Bauhaus and Joy Division influences over This Heat for them - at least, that's just what I hear when I listen to them, I have no clue what their actual influences were of course. I guess I'm just salty because there's a bevy of underrated post-punk bands that deserve to be ripped off just as much as Joy Division has :P
 
On the topic of Billie Eilish - I think she's a perfectly fine musician whose most recent album was pretty good. A *lot* of the hate she gets is extremely unfair, and just reeks of "Look at how cool I am for hating on the new popular female pop artist that teenagers like" with a dash of sexism. Obviously this isn't everyone who just dislikes her music, that's totally fine, but people who actively hate on her are ridiculous. Plus, anyone who buys into the whole "industry plant" conspiracy is just mindlessly parroting what others say without realizing how absurd it is

She does get way too much hate. I don't care for her music but people take it way too far.
