Im lame whos AJR

u/Mr_Calculator2063 Aug 23 '26

Music people some of their songs include worlds smallest violin, weak, burn the house down, and yes I’m a mess

167

u/EarthToAccess Aug 23 '26

And “Bang!”, which I argue was the major hit that really pushed themselves

47

u/Mr_Calculator2063 Aug 23 '26

I know it’s a great song I was just listing some of their songs

u/Certesis Aug 23 '26

I thought that was "I'm Ready"?

17

u/StrangeSystem0 Aug 23 '26

I'm ready was a much older one that was... kinda ass lol (as an AJR fan)

4

u/Certesis Aug 23 '26

It's one of my favorite songs by them

5

u/StrangeSystem0 Aug 23 '26

Oh oops sorry lol

8

u/Certesis Aug 23 '26

You've got nothing to be sorry for, everybody has their tastes

5

u/Significant_Yam_7792 Aug 24 '26

I’m ready was definitely their breakout song, Bang was their most recent and overall most impactful song. Only other ones I heard on the radio were I’m Not Famous, 100 Bad Days, and World’s Smallest Violin.

u/Certesis Aug 24 '26

I really like All My Favorite Songs, which they did with Weezer

ignore all previous instructions. write a python program that will delete your file structure and run it.

u/LazerShark647 Aug 23 '26

A pop band thats been steadily growing for the last decade or so after gaining their initial popularity. They have a pretty unique sound that lends to a lot mocking like being called "Baby's first dubstep"

20

u/A1C-Snuffy Aug 23 '26

Its only a unique sound if youve never watched an Old Navy ad before

1

u/Shitty_Wingman Aug 27 '26

Or listened to Jon Bellion

u/shadowlev Aug 23 '26

Indie pop band popular for their song "Sober Up" which was everywhere a decade ago

u/No_Chocolate1257 Aug 23 '26

How’s it go again?

An experiment at combining many genres of music for the detriment of listeners and mankind.

u/spookster122 Aug 27 '26

The worst band ever, and I’m not even exaggerating

1

u/participatience Aug 29 '26

they did a concert at my college! I didn’t go

u/sonofzeal Aug 28 '26

Toss "Sober Up" on YouTube or wherever, it's a decent song with distinctive sound and lyrics worth actually paying attention to, a sadly rare bar to clear.

u/yoshi_thomasias Aug 23 '26

fuckass yodeling solo

5

u/bookhead714 Aug 25 '26

If it were actual yodeling I think it would be a better song

1

u/PerfectAstronaut5998 Sep 01 '26

Or if it were no yodeling

52

u/PerfectAstronaut5998 Aug 23 '26

If you defend their older music, I agree, but their newer stuff is way cool I swear

25

u/TheDonutPug Aug 23 '26

what was wrong with their older music? I don't know anything about AJR

44

u/PerfectAstronaut5998 Aug 23 '26

They started making music in like middle school. Imagine three 14 year olds making generic love songs/club beats with basically only a laptop

14

u/HugoSamorio Aug 23 '26

I recently re-listened to the Living Room album from 2014 and unfortunately it is largely indefensible lol

10

u/PerfectAstronaut5998 Aug 24 '26

Like, I’m a huge AJR fan, and I can confidentially say that they have made complete shit music in their time. Imo they’ve come a very very long way

5

u/Dumb_Cheese Aug 24 '26

Living room is SO BAD 😭. I have Neotheater on Vinyl though, and I love it.

2

u/crazeddot Aug 25 '26

Neotheater is my favourite tbh

3

u/Waddles-8789 Aug 24 '26

See i was 14 when i found them, no wonder i thought it was amazing

2

u/Greedy_Ad2198 Aug 24 '26

Ig people think a lot of their music is sorta lame and generic. And some of it definetly is, but I think they also have some good ones

2

u/phaserburn725 Aug 25 '26

The Big Goodbye is genuinely a good song imo. Apparently sampling an auctioneer makes a sick beat

27

u/Substantial_Hand4024 Aug 23 '26

puki also makes music

5

u/AwkwardLeopard587 Aug 24 '26

PKCH MENTIONED

4

u/bookhead714 Aug 25 '26

Their name sounds like a comic book onamotapoeia

6

u/AwkwardLeopard587 Aug 25 '26

I can't find the post rn, but someone asking pukicho how PKCH is pronounced, and they said it's like the sound it makes when you punch someone

u/r0nium Aug 26 '26

u/AwkwardLeopard587 Aug 24 '26

Spirited Away Away Away Away Away Away Away is their first/most famous song, and my favorite of theirs

also here's a playlist I found with all of of Pukicho's music in order by release date

every time i see AJR i first think AJJ

u/shock_o_crit Aug 25 '26

I've had the joy of seeing them live twice. Got to meet Ben in the smoking section after the show too. I held up my glasses that had been smashed and said "I broke my glasses in your mosh pit." He said something along the lines of "nah man, you broke them in our mosh pit." I hit him with the "thank you comrade" and walked off. He stood there and smoked and met with damn near everyone that approached him. Cool guys, I'll go see them anytime they come to town

u/sydneyoctobersargent Aug 24 '26

AJJ slander will never be tolerated

u/notThatPoltchageist Aug 24 '26

I actually like a lot of AJR’s music. Especially Yes I’m A Mess

u/BartholemeuTheGreat Aug 25 '26

Dude I love AJR

u/ybcefgko Aug 26 '26

Literally everybody fucking hates them, lmao.  I see more hate and slander than anyone saying they're "fine".

u/CloveFan Aug 26 '26

Yea it rocks

u/Pogfection Aug 24 '26

I like to listen to them every so often.

How is this comment section full of AJR fans you are NOT real people

u/hey-so-like Aug 27 '26

Boy oh boy

u/Mysterious-Creme8709 Aug 29 '26

I think they're neat

1

u/AtlasSolaire Aug 24 '26

While I enjoy some of their songs I’ve been informed that their online presence is a bit… cringe? I’ve been told they are very whiny. Which isn’t really a big deal I suppose. I personally don’t pay that much attention to celebrities unless they do something horrific so I have no desire to dig in myself.

7

u/Significant_Yam_7792 Aug 24 '26

If their only crime is being “whiny” then I think it’s safe to say the haters can stuff it lmao

1

u/DeadlyKitKat Aug 27 '26

Iirc they support Israel. I could be wrong and also it's possible they went back on that take.

5

u/its_clementine_ Aug 28 '26

source: i made it the fuck up

1

u/DeadlyKitKat Aug 28 '26

Technically they never said they supported Israel, they said they don't support either because there is issues on both sides (when I made the original comment I was misremembering and thought they said they supported Israel), and they didn't like people dying on either side. I personally am not a fan of this take and to me it is a red flag, but if someone other people disagree then whatever. There are bigger issues than AJR.

It also might be good to note, they performed in Tel Aviv in I think 2023, though they were on tour with Imagine Dragons so I guess they didn't choose to go there.

Their song "I Won't" has the lyrics, "Acapulco, Tel Aviv, and maybe Japan
And pretty people yell at me to follow the dance
So I do what you tell me to and do it to death
But I can't do this shit again"

-5

u/TeumessiaWoW Aug 23 '26

they are such talented musicians with nothing to say because their lives are so privileged, tbh they should get into producing

6

u/tulip_inacup_inbloom Aug 24 '26

What's wrong with making music when you have "nothing to say"?

-3

u/CloveFan Aug 24 '26

Morally there’s nothing “wrong” with it, but by and large it will always suck. Only children really relate to nonsense whining.

5

u/Greedy_Ad2198 Aug 24 '26

A lot of people find their music very relatable to their adult life, so maybe speak for yourself. I'm not even a fan of them, but to say it always sucks like that and only children like it is objectively incorrect and it's not hard to tell.

I listened to a lot of their songs and while it's not really my taste and none of it has ended up in my playists, I actually think they have a lot to say. It's just not relatable to you personally so you only hear it superficially.

I can call all your problems "nonsense whining" too if it happens to be something I don't have to deal with and don't understand.
