I am not minimizing their success, wth are you on? I am just saying what that user said is WRONG. Also, their touring success doesn’t change the fact their last albums underperformed/flopped, it’s still something to take into account if you want to compare them to other artists.

But they’re hugely successful because they can still do HUGE tours WW even if their recent albums ‘flop’ by your standards. Most artists of today are desperate to get streaming hits as that’s all they care about, but when it comes to touring they perform in tiny venues. Would you not rather have a ‘flop’ album but be able to sell out arenas and stadiums WW than have a #1 song but be performing in basements? 
 

Not everything is about charts. Look at GAYLE. ABCDEFU was a huge song. Does anybody from the GP actually know who she is? Is she performing in arenas and stadiums? No. Her song was bigger than anything ID has done from their current era, but who’s the real winner?

That explains how they got so big with them being mid asf.

nnnn y'alls reactions are sending me. talk about overblowing something

 

 

all he said was imagine dragons were sold by a rag-to-riches origin story that wasn't true. he wasn't saying it was bad or anything

I agree, like I doubt OPs original video got expected to be posted on a mainly pop platform like this, also like.. this is probably a series for his fans and if they like it, who cares?

How does that explain anything? Were the millions of people who bought their singles and albums paid to do so? Are the people filling out their arenas / stadiums not actually there by choice? Absolute brain rot. 
 

Something has to actually have broad appeal to become big with the GP, which clearly Imagine Legends have. If there was no substance to begin with, it wouldn’t catch on, so don’t make yourself look this stupid. 
 

And music, like all things is subjective. You think they’re ‘mid’ but they’re my favourite band and I’d listen to them over 99% of what people on this website like. But each to their own.

I don’t think I was going off topic. I think either you’ve misunderstood what that user said, or I have. As I read their comment as “you’re saying nobody cares enough, but this forum stans X artist who isn’t as successful as them” - which is true. If this TikTok was made about Charli XCX (for example) nobody would be saying “who cares enough about her to make this” - which is odd, considering ID are more successful than her. 
 

But anyway, I don’t want to keep going around in circles. My main point was what I said in my first post. Stan the LGBT+ allies.

You actually didn’t just say that, you basically said the reason they got big in the industry is because of their connections, which clearly isn’t true. And this is a forum, so if you don’t want people replying to your comments, don’t post anything then? I didn’t realise there was a character limit we had to abide to when replying to each other.

Dude, read his post, he said « any », me saying he’s wrong doesn’t mean I think they are unsuccessful.

I did read it, which is why I said I might be misinterpreting it. Because I took it as them meaning how this site stans a lot of pop singers who aren’t as successful as ID, but have various posts made about them. If they did mean ANY pop girl, which would include Madonna, then obviously that is false and I’d never dispute that.

All artists do this lol, Lana saying that she was living in an abandoned apartment with no amenities, Halsey saying she was homeless, Taylor saying that she grew up in a normal middle class family, etc etc. Its a trick to seem relatable. 

Well yeah and it's pathetic. That's his point

[Mr.Link]

See this is how ridiculous leftists look. They’re obsessed with anyone who’s doing remotely “good” to try to bring them down so that everyone’s equally poor and miserable as the norm. 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Most popular singers had connections to get ahead. He exposed nothing.

[Totami Legend]

He should spend his energy on problematic and sus singers

[RunUpDoneUp]

Who thought they were selfmade? The last big selfmade band was probably over two decades ago tbh.
