I was the same as you. Slept on them for 6 years then saw them play their new song "People" at Reading in 2019 and quickly realised they weren't the same band that put out "Chocolate" years earlier.

[@DuelingPeaks]

This was exactly my reaction. First time hearing Chocolate, I was like "Who are these bunch of wet wipes?". Especially when I found out they're from Cheshire and not down south as Matty's singing voice would suggest. But then I heard Love Me, thought it was an absolute banger, then listened to their full discography and they've been my favourite band of the last decade ever since. They're superb.

[@daisybell9593]

Rather than a wedding reception vibe, I think it's more of a funeral- the flowers on the ground, black suits, the dancers carrying matty off at the end. This also makes more sense when you know that the song is bout school shootings. You can also notice the dancers holding their hands in the air and running through the background which is obviously symbolic when you know the lyrics!!

The last song you covered by The 1975 caught me off guard and I went down a rabbit hole and now they are one of my favorite modern bands. Matty Healy has a combination of sincerity and self awareness that I wish I possessed.

[@ElectricCavegurl]

Ya damn straight...NEVER be ashamed or embarrassed by the music that you enjoy. There are no "guilty" pleasures for me, only pleasures.

[@guciowitomski3825]

there are guilty pleasures though The concept is fairly easy to grasp: "Something you consider to be shit, but you enjoy it anyway" As in, I normally listen to the Grateful Dead, Breakout, Beatles, Stones, Kinks, stuff like this. But then again I did enjoy for some time Sunrise Avenue's two hits or "I'm not rich, but i live like a millionaire" song. All three of these songs are. absolute garbage, but there are times when I find them quite appealing. It's a guilty pleasure.

[@ElectricCavegurl]

@@guciowitomski3825 and exactly why I said for ME and not for YOU/ everyone. I am quite aware of the definition of the term "guilty pleasure" . I PERSONALLY have zero guilt when it comes to the music I enjoy, but perhaps I am at an age where I realize that opinions of others have no bearing on my enjoyment and vice versa. It's so freeing. I don't judge other people's musical tastes as opinions in the arts are so subjective. What is shit for us could bring someone else intense pleasure. I don't think it's guilt so much as embarrassment to admit what others deem shit. I am not embarressed by much anymiore.

[@guciowitomski3825]

@@ElectricCavegurl but, it's not about guilt or embarrassment towards others. It's about what you believe is bad or good. That was the entirety of my point. What is funny about guilty pleasure is exactly that even though you dislike something, you still like it. It's that paradox that makes it a guilty pleasure. The songs I mentioned are generally well liked and most people would never think of calling them a guilty pleasure.

[@ElectricCavegurl]

@@guciowitomski3825 If I dislike it, I have no guilt admitting that either. If I like it and it brings me pleasure or evokes an emotional response. I like it, plain and simple. If I think it's shit. I don't like it. You keep trying to explain the definition of guilty pleasure to me... but I simply don't adhere to that way of thinking anymore. I get it though.

[@connoryballantyne]

​@@TheEndless560 pretentious micro-essay incoming... each of those bands I mentioned were pop-distillations of the experimental music of their zeitgeist. Bowie and U2 incorporated Eno & Lanois' connection to the burdgeoning ambient music & early sampling community into stadium pop-rock format, Radiohead distilled the up-and-coming experimental electronic (aphex, etc), 2-step, and underground dnb/triphop into a pop rock format. Arcade Fire took the neo-classical and experimental baroque elements (seen blatantly in both Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld being in the actual band) and formatted it into a stadium pop-rock package ppl could get behind. The 1975 are doing the exact same thing with the fringe music of today- the resurgence of Burial/garage music, the neo-classicalism of the Erased Tapes label sounds, the direct incorporation of BI's sampling, obvious Reich influences, etc. And formatting it into a simpler form for the People-of-Today. Musicheads of the day for each of those bands mentioned lamented int he press at the time that they were all lame copies of 'real experimental music'. So again- similarities shown in your very comment. But we know that's not a pop bands job. A truly good (art-focused) pop band distills those generally inaccessible source materials into more digestible forms for the general public to get a taste of- and then- hopefully: seek out the deeper source material. That's why so many experimental artists fuck with them. They fuck with good art so they're trusted. Idk man- in the sea of over-saturated, boring, reductive, type-beat-style artists: I'd rather an artist thats extremely well-versed in good shit and TRYING be as big as they are. over + out.

That’s the thing about the band, their music is supposed to be a commentary on modern pop music by using out dated music genres and twisting them with Mattys lyrics.

With their first album, The 1975 instantly became one of my favorite bands. Nearly a decade later, every subsequent album has solidified them in that status.

[@asharsenault4899]

I've been a die-hard fan since their first album, but THIS song is now my favourite of theirs. Beyond the super bop-able synth-rock groove, I find the lyrics to be quite powerful. Matty has drawn attention to American gun culture in the past in She's American ("And I think she's got a gun, divinely decreed and custom made"). But this song comes right out with it and doesn't shy away. From start to finish, it paints a vivid picture of gun violence motivated by "incel" dogma. And I think the juxtaposition of dark lyrics and upbeat hooks makes it all the more jarring and powerful.

i've only recently become a fan but I first heard about the 1975 during my senior year of college, when their song "Chocolate" was getting really popular. I liked some of their stuff but I didn't really give their music a proper shot until this month. their albums are really good musically and very fascinating, but I also respect their courage to question everything through their music, to talk about the things that don't get brought up much (and maybe need to be). I appreciate the depth and earnestness of their songs, and how they hide deeper, darker thoughts in upbeat guitar riffs and dance rhythms. But even as musicians alone, they are insanely and undeniable talented.

[@jsequine927]

I think the 1975 gets a lot of criticism from critics because their music is unashamedly poppy and in other places all over the place in terms of genres. I think critics feel like they're a pop band masquerading as a rock band and doing well, and there's more than an element of snobbery in it. Their albums are often more like mix tapes than albums. Matty himself is controversial in part because he's incredibly dry with his sense of humour and his lyrics often tow the line between beautifully self-aware and poetic, and houlier than thou political statements. I'm someone that has always gravitated to sad music as a way of wallowing in my feelings, sort of basking in my own pity. I realised over time how much music can impact your outlook for good or bad. The first time I listened to Love it if We Made it I went in a whole other direction purely because of the 1975 and started gravitating much more to uppity music. The song is the embodiment of trying to get through some very heavy times (the themes are dreadfully depressing) but the tone of the song itself is so unbelievably catchy and positive you can't help but bop along. I now love bands like the 1975 who wear shimmering happiness as a badge of honour to bring positivity to the masses, even though they might not be feeling that way internally.

So my normal genre interests are in midwest emo, alternative emo, hardcore etc. I've loved the 1975 since the Sex EP. I always thought they amalgamated so much influence quite clearly, including quite evidently indie and emo. One of my favourite song is a two-step garage remix of Head.Cars.Bending on Sex, how many bands can account for such variety in their discography that actually works? They're complex and simple at the same time. Healy is an odd character, definitely an enigma and it's hard to discern what is the "bit" or "act" and what is genuinely him, but that is of course the point. He's a true frontman.

Used to hate them for the aesthetic and called them pretentious. I just wasn’t allowing myself to like them. Luckily my friend was persistent and I saw them live… the penny dropped and they’ve been my favourite band ever since. Genius and sincere - and genuinely incredible musicians

I bloody love these vids. I would love to sit down one afternoon and share a sandwich and a non-carbonated beverage with Justin and discuss all things guitar. Keep on keeping on Mr H

I love you Justin! ❤‍🔥Love the channel, love these videos.

I have quite liked listening to You riff on about music, but didnt realize who You (tho so familiar looking) were till just now and it made me real happy. Loved Your music alot, and now enjoy these videos.

[@ThePeaceFrog722]

I feel like their magical appeal comes from how the music is an amalgam of so many influences/references that its almost like Paul's Boutique level sampling. except instead of direct samples its the idea of it, a mimic made anew. like a quilt of beloved pop put together in such an interesting way it feels brand new but still familiar.

[@cathyjoy9214]

I come here to hear some real insight into music we don't hear on mainstream radio ........ also to hear your soothing voice and decent life tips.

[@dayneswerdling4734]

I can't believe I actually got your obituary reference, wasn't expecting that

[@SinsOfTheDojo]

Been waiting for this since the album came out. Great vid 👍

I recently discovered The 1975 (about 9 months ago) I love them!!

[@Zoot_of_Anthrax]

The poppier songs they do really give me huey lewis and the news flavor. I took my oldest to see 1975 as his first concert. He complained as teen boys are wont to do… but i had a blast :)

[@isayx3]

Really liking their latest. The new album is very much inspired by 80s adult yacht rock. Somebody to Love is very kenny loggins while Caroline takes from steve winwood / cristopher cross.

Matty will kiss any of his fans who break onto the stage, including the boys. I love Matt Healy. He is full of the joy of the music. ❤🎵
