Im not gonna treat this ridiculousness like it's an actual argument. You can think of them however you want.

They're a legendary rock band and most people think of a 1000 things before Apple.
I'm not talking about what they have done all time. I'm saying what they have been in the past decade.

In my opinion, they are currently most well known for Apple commercials and now this. You are going to see U2 Apple commercials everywhere for a long time once again.

Uno. Dos. Tres. Catorce!

It seemed like you meant overall. Like when U2's history is written it will begin with Apple


That is the part that would have been ridiculous

It's de rigueur for a lot of people to shit on anything/everything to do with U2 without actually listening to them.

It is. It's a followers thing. They're all sheep.

My post used the word "now".

However, for people younger than us who didn't grow up in the golden era of U2 it probably does define them.

I've never said I don't like U2. I may make fun of them, but it can be easy with Bono, but I'm not doubting their long successful run in the business. It's deserved.

I wouldn't define myself as a fan, mostly just indifferent. Joshua Tree is the bomb though.

Yeah, and many in our generation know the Stones as the old guys who still tour. Time is a flat circle

This new U2 commercial is already annoying and I've only seen it once.

What does it say about your band that you are basically now just an advertisement for Apple?

No one thinks that

Jay Z did his album with Samsung and nobody said anything like that.


That's because the hip-hop fandom is all about jerking off over people's financial success whereas it's something to be kind of ashamed of in rock. I mean, people were really furiously masturbating about how Jay-Z was taking over the world with his shitty smartphone app that thought it was an album. Who's ever been like "aw man Coldplay, global icons! They're an international business! Chris Martin runs the introspective power ballad game!"? No one, probably because it sounds really fucking dumb.

After being virtually quiet all summer, Tyler The Creator recently announced a small tour coming up in November. Then things got weird. On Friday, Wolf Haley made some noise by going in on Bono and his band U2. Apparently angry that the group’s Songs of Innocence album, was placed on every iTunes account Tuesday (September 9), Tyler made his opinion known. “F-CK YOU BONO YOU OLD F-CK I DONT WANT YOU ON MY PHONE,” he posted. Followed by, “GET OFF MY FUCKING PHONE. YOU COULDNT COME UP WITH AN ACTUAL MARKETING IDEA? FUCK @U2 I DONT WANT YOU. FUCK BONO. I DIDNT ASK FOR YOU IM MAD.”

Either the Illuminati got to the Cali rapper or he genuinely had a change of heart after previewing the album. A short time later, his opinion had changed. “BONO IS FUCKING AWESOME GOT DAMN,” he posted. Then, “BONO IS BEAST GOT DAMN.”




Tyler knows

U2 is perfectly fine music for people who don't like their rock to be edgy or interesting.

They are the perfect embodiment of middlebrow culture.
