"You guys hate everything but the era of Britpop Arctic Monkeys, Florence and the Machine and so on, was so superior to the nothing that exists now."

"I'm tired of people pretending like this band is anything more than the Arctic Monkeys of 2025."
"Arctic monkeys, animal collective, MGMT, all have recent albums that are legitimately good. Not gonna lie, at the time I expected most of these bands to be flashes in the pan. And most bands in general do not put out good music later in their careers."

"The Artic Monkeys craze on 2013 Tumblr was the peak of British culture being viewed as cool. Now the perception of British people of Gen Z Americans is that they're all dorks like Ricky Gervais or JK Rowling who can't cook"
"To have had that period of adolescent love pass you by when that was effectively the soundtrack to that period? I just can't do that man. I'm sure there's many a British rs boy who can relate"
It's too painful to listen to the Arctic Monkeys · u/NoPlant4894 · ↑86 · 2025-03-28
"why do women like the artic monkeys? they're so bland"
"growing up in the north of england his first album was gospel. it really was like a documentary of what it was like to be young, northern, horny and unsure. also the last shadow puppets are incredible and obviously informed the last two AM albums."

"IMO: Underrated. Best band to come out of England after Britpop. Alex Turner is a fucking genius."
