"Heard multiple people use the phrase 'male manipulator music' to refer to the smiths and radiohead. Also at one point the Beatles???"
"**Radiohead:** Annoying theatre kid's favorite band growing up. I was late to the party on really exploring their classics, but I gotta admit they are as great as advertised."

"Sgt Peppers and OK computer are better than 99.9999999999999% of music ever made but people don't like to admit it."

"Whenever a Radiohead song would come on, she'd ask me 'who sings this,' and I'd reply 'this is Radiohead,' and she'd say 'but who's the singer,' and I'd reply 'Thom Yorke,' and she'd go 'that's so hot.'"

"So essentially, when people were like yelling at Radiohead or some shit for playing Tel Aviv, has there always been the threat of Hamas showing up in some weird dirigible and just mass slaughtering people?"
"Same with Radiohead, a legitimately creative and talented band, but with them being at the top of every music website's best list I had already sort of decided I liked them before really listening.

"Radiohead is a great example, in particular the song Airbag. We see the same emotional plot as the Christian idea of "salvation": there was a catastrophic event, you thought you were dead, but you were miraculously saved and then you feel "born again"."
"Example: "Muse is just the Walmart version of Radiohead.""
"The season also just wasn't tasteful at all. Cringe music cues left and right, mic drop dialogue, etc. They try to throw in just enough Radiohead to convince you the show is artful but it doesn't work. Could not be a further cry from the quiet dread of the first season."
"Now when I go to campus and lectures, I always feel like crying when I see people hanging out in their friend groups while I am all alone. I just listen to radiohead and pretend like I'm in a coming-of-age movie or something."

"people love to post on here like 'you're not special because you watch wes anderson and listen to radiohead' you lose all impact when my retired suburbanite mom would understand your references."
"But I find it baffling that several people I know that have been publicly and loudly "boycotting" big corporations and brands that are supposedly tied with Israel in one way or another, are now in queue for Radiohead tickets. All of a sudden the arguments shifted to "It's not like the conflict will "

"My crystal ball is revealing to me that Charly Garcia, Luis Alberta Spinetta, and Gustavo Cerati will be to today's musicians what Can was to Radiohead in 2000"

"Why is Radiohead, The Smiths, My bloody valentine, slowdive, weezer, cocteau twins etc.... considered virgincore music. I dont get it they're all mainstream/ extremely popular who are artists a lot of girls listen to and they make normal sounding accessible music"
