Lately that dumb catchy "All About that Bass" song kinda feels like this. I mean to me it just feels like they're saying "Hey look at us we're fat and we dont give a shit! All skinny people are assholes!" I mean sheesh I dont mind a little bit of chubs but there's no need to make a song about how you're all instantly better than us. I dunno maybe I'm overreacting.
Also is it just me or am I using the word pretentious a lot.....Well at least I kinda know what it means

No, it's a song developed by hollywood to take advantage of fat people's low self-esteem. Don't blame fat people. Blame the producers taking advantage of them.

To be fair, they're just trying to bring us down to their level by berating our skinny bodies. They'll never be better. In fact, fuck anybody who ever thought fat was good in the first place.
YOU HEAR ME MCDONALD'S? FUCK YOOOOOUU!
Any of that mainstream emotive hardcore shit that used to be popular always seemed pretentious to me.
"Ohh, I'm so full of angst, and I'm so artsy! Look at me!" Blah. Fuck off.

I would like to counter this point with "every Radiohead song that isn't creep" They're an easy target but that's not my fault.
I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's

I remember reading on TVTropes RadioHead actually hated creating Creep. Or maybe it was something else

I've never actually listened to that song, if you can believe it. I've heard people sing it, and I remember it being mentioned on a South Park episode. But I've never actually listened to it. Going off of the few Radiohead songs I have heard, I'm not missing much.

No, that happened. And the worst thing is how they did it. I mean I can get breaking through with something you don't consider a real representation but the utter disdain they have for the song pretty much shits on anyone who likes the song or discovered them through it. Hence; pretentious

Basically, their own music became too mainstream for them. "I'm only a fan of my more underground stuff."
But yeah, stuff like this, Alt+J, Neutral Milk Hotel etc. just seem like bands that people only listen to so they can feel special and brag about their 'refined' music taste.

Basically. And incase anyone hasen't heard it or desperatly needs to feel like an awkward teenager here's "creep" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rsqg95anNw You might note that it sounds nothing like a radiohead song. Again, I can get moving on musically but shitting on the song that opened the door to your career seems harsh. I checked, it's not the radio safe version.

Yeah, that's my understanding of "indy" Also, isn't indy supposed to just be a circumstance under which your music is produced and not a defined genre?

as cool as this song is, it's really just "we can see through it all and everyone else are mindless sheep" bullshit.

It's supposed to be, but it's largely used to define pretentious new bands (regardless of the circumstances of their production) who sound like watered down versions of older indie bands.
I dare anyone to out-pretentious High Hopes by Pink Floyd
Seriously watch the music video. Oh my God. You could not ask for a better ratio of "silliest thing ever" and "takes itself totally seriously".

I don't know why I keep doing this to myself.
It's like I'm hurting myself every time I open music discussion on the BBS, but I can never stop doing it.
Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.
You may be fast on the roads but it's no use on the track.
I can't stand that song.
Here's my issue with it... It was made to make the larger population of girls feel better about themselves, but they go about it in the wrong way. Instead of saying "love yourself as you are", this song shames thin girls to make them feel like shit so that larger girls feel a bit better for a while.
So much for this "body acceptance" crap! "Body acceptance" just means fat acceptance. This whole "real women have curves, only dogs like bones" bullshit is just a way to make thin girls feel bad about themselves which makes larger girls feel like they have the right to put thin girls down, and they only ever really do it to boost their own self esteem. I have very low self esteem and my BMI is in the "severely underweight" category, but i would never even consider putting someone down due to their size because that's an absolutely vile thing to do. However, with the ever growing fat acceptance culture we live in, if I (or anyone considered by others to be thin) did insult a larger persons weight, I (we) would be subjected to a lot of hate because of it. It's awful that there's a double standard, larger people would never have to deal with any abuse for making rude comments about a thin persons weight, yet when it's the other way around we're treated like we're the spawn of satan.
It's not body acceptance at all because it's only accepting one body type.
I like to joke about, but there's a line, acknowledge and respect that line.

Hmm... most pretentious song. Do believe I'm going go with MacArthur Park by Richard Harris. Just my two cents.

A bit much? I'll show you a bit much. Someday I hope to approach Yoko Ono and make her cry by making fun of Lennon's death. I want tears to flow from that cunt's face. How's that for a bit much? Fuck John Lennon, every one of his shit songs qualifies for most pretentious. I hope they're making him butt-fuck Hitler in hell.
Oh shit, I listened to it, I watched it...
Why'd you make me do that Wegra? That was fucking horrible
