Usually I'm a lil bit of a metal nerd- and I kept hearing the name Polyphia being thrown around, now I'm just binging all of their songs and wondering why ppl hate em. This is great. I think ppl are forgetting ppl can enjoy other genres of music and have it still be good

[@VenNoel]

People always gotta be elitist about music. “EW you like LORNA shORE? 🤮 I only listen to REAL metal like AVENGED SEVENFOLD 👌🙏🥰” not to diss avenged sevenfold but people like to compare two musicians of the same genre but completely different subgenre

[@grease3873]

@@VenNoel exactly, music doesn't have just one sound. That what makes it creative. It's the whole point of music. People have preferences but because someone listens to something else, it doesn't mean that what you listen to as a person should be influenced by someone else's preference. Like a lot of things, music is an acquired taste, you like what you like, and even what you don't like, someone else enjoys :}

[@bunsenn5064]

My hate of music isn’t based on names or genres, I just specifically don’t like Polyphia. But guess what? That’s my opinion, and no one is required to agree with me. I just don’t like this weird modern stuff that has so much silence in between the notes.

[@grease3873]

@@bunsenn5064 exactly, as I said people can enjoy other thing. They can but they don't have to. If you don't like it then it's fine, it's about your taste as the listener :}

I don’t know how they have enough time to practice all their songs so they can play live and still come up with new music

[@EFHmusic]

Polyphia reminds me of like a modern version of a classical string quartet. 2 violins=2 guitars, cello=drums, viola=bass. The song structure kind of reminds me of a sonata as well, and it’s cool how the focus of the group is on the virtuosic violin 1 part, although the group’s success comes from all four members.

[@tristanperciful6609]

I love this parallel, I've always thought of instrumental rock/metal bands the same way. The meme also kinda applies, that all string quartets have 4 members: a good violinist, a bad violinist, a former violinist, and someone who hates violinists (replace violin with guitar)

[@chaboinas]

this comment is totally on point. I play violin and guitar and this is exactly what polyphia is at least on this song.
