An
annoying ass electropop "rock" band that are called
alternative rock even though they're not even close to being alternative. Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Fall Out Boy, OneRepublic, Train, Green Day, Panic! At The Disco, and Blink 182 are
alternative rock because they use guitars in their music used to create modern rock. Imagine Dragons lack this. They're often loved by normies who don't know a goddamn thing about rock music but pretend to act like they do. In other words: generic ass boring late 2010's pop "music". See Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, Charlie Puth, Demi Lovato.
Normie: Imagine Dragons is the best
alternative rock band of all time, imo.
Rocker/rock fan (me): No, they are not.
Normie: Why?
Rock fan: Because they don't have the guitars required to create modern rock. Avril Lavigne, Fall Out Boy, Train, and OneRepublic are alternative pop rock. Imagine Dragons are crappy pop "rock"
Normie: You only call it pop because it's popular, idiot.
Rock fan: No, I don't! Imagine Dragons don't even use guitars that much so they can't be referred to as rock. They're electropop. They're even in Teen Titans Go!
Normie: The correct term is "
alternative rock"
Rock fan: No, it isn't. You just listen to any garbage on the "hard rock" radio stations and assume everything they say is true. It's not alternative.
Normie: Ok,
whatever man, this conversation is over. Now go and listen to your emo rock.
Rock fan: Avril Lavigne is not emo you bastard!!!
