This is kind of a personal rant…but since it’s music related, I may as well post it in this thread.
One thing I can never understand is how most people classify Imagine Dragons music as “Alternative Rock”, yet most-if not all-of their songs don’t really sound like the “Rock” part of that subgenre (Hell, their #1 Rock single, Radioactive, sounds more like Dubstep.).
I know they have a guitarist, but how come I can’t hear any guitar notes in any of their songs? All I hear in their songs are the lyrics, synth pads, and loud techno drums; do those sound like the instruments you’d hear in a rock band?
Apologies to any fans of the band, but unless someone shows me a song of theirs that actually puts the rock in “Alternative Rock”, I’m just going to listen to fan-made covers of their songs.
