Other than Pearl Jam, who else is there?

the one part of the song that sounds like 'everlong' is decent, the rest of this sounds like the foo fighters have sounded for 15 years or whatever its been. i feel like their career has been exactly like weezers, just more successful.

I could be mistaken, but I would be surprised if Foo Fighters fans jump on multiple shows of the tours or follow the band around in the same way as say Pearl Jam. I could be wrong about that, but the atmosphere seems more casual. Maybe they are someone’s favorite band, and they listen to the albums but maybe not dissect everything so painstakingly.

Aging frat boys.

Aging frat boys.
Not even. Just everyday normal people who aren't rock music obsessives. I know a bunch of extremely normal folks who love the Foos

Unless you mean like hardcore Foo Fighters obsessive fans. They definitely exist but I know not their culture

Frat bros are normies though. And there's a shitload of crossover among fans of the Foos and PJ.

I've thought about it, and I think you're right -- normies is the most accurate, but I still see frat bros/jocks as being sort of grandmasters of the normie-sphere.

actually it doesnt suck. It's completely forgettable and sounds like every other song theyve done in the last 15 years.

Its worse than sucking as it doesnt even register in time

Why are you being so judgemental of the new Foos song, frat bro?
