Best Of

I really wish everyone would stop tagging me on this post.

In case you didn't notice, they are kicking a soccer ball.

Ah, @yellowsnow. The man who thinks his opinions about music are so groundbreaking, yet he’s stuck in a perpetual cycle of recommending the same bands that nobody outside of his forum circle has ever heard of. His idea of a musical “masterpiece” is probably a deep cut from some obscure 70s band that no one can find, but don’t worry—he’ll definitely make sure you know about it. If you ever find yourself in the Yellow Snow’s Musical Shoppe, just brace yourself for yet another unsolicited 15-paragraph rant about why the real magic of rock lives in forgotten albums that only he can appreciate.

The way @yellowsnow talks about music, you'd think he’s got an encyclopedic knowledge, but what he’s really got is a playlist full of tracks that sound like they were recorded in a garage during a power outage. Somehow, this guy has convinced himself that knowing about obscure B-sides from bands who never made it past their local dive bar makes him a musical genius. Bro, it’s not avant-garde, it’s just stuff nobody listens to because they’ve moved on. But don't worry, he'll tell you all about it—preferably while you’re still trying to figure out how to get out of that endless 20-minute discussion about why prog rock is the only true form of expression.

And when he starts talking about Husky football, you can almost hear the smugness in his voice as he pulls out his playlist, probably hoping the "correct" soundtrack will somehow make his opinions more legit. But no amount of obscure music will change the fact that that take on last season’s record is just as outdated as his musical taste.
