Queen the band sucks. I don’t get why anyone likes them. Aside from Bohemian Rhapsody, their songs are bland and fall short. Their rock is dry. And the opera-style singing is cringe. Examples:

Another One Bites the Dust

  • Catchy bass line, fun to direct at an opponent, CORNY AF. The song is about people being killed, but sounds like a funky Michael Jackson song with an Opera singer.

We Will Rock You

  • Good solo, repetitive and annoying simple beat. Boom-boom-ch. So lame.

We Are the Champions

  • Such a self-aggrandizing and braggy song. “No time for losers”? Okay, Donald Trump.

Bicycle Race

  • I don’t even have to say anything about this one. Everyone knows how corny this song sounds.

Somebody to Love

  • Touching topic, cheesy lyrics and even cheesier choir-like singing. It’s cringe.

I am happy for the band and their success. I admire Freddie Mercury’s unapologetic flamboyance. The dude kept it real. But, I just can’t like the music.

I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone. I understand we all have different taste and respect everyone’s freedom to like and enjoy what they want. I’m not trying to insult anyone for their taste, but merely expressing my own in a somewhat humorous attempt.

    Upvote because unpopular and everyone forgets the sub.

    I do agree with bicycle, but that doesn’t support the conclusion of Queen.

      My unpopular opinion is that inverting upvotes for unpopular opinion is stupid and only creates confusion. It was stupid on Reddit and it is even stupider on Lemmy. If an opinion is unpopular and you disagree with it, you should downvote it and reflect its popularity correctly. If you get super upvoted you failed because it means your opinion isn’t unpopular at all and it is actually shared by a lot of people.

        I’m losing track of your logic but I think you have it backwards. In this sub community you are supposed to upvote unpopular things. Doesn’t matter if you personally agree or not.

        Yes there was tendency over at the other place to upvote popular things or things you agree with. That is the inversion.

        Or you can just sit the whole thing out without voting.

        *I may follow your thought a bit better now. The whole point of this sub community is the get unpopular ideas out there. Challenge the status quo. See new opinions, challenge your own. Avoid group think. Otherwise you have an echo chamber. If that’s what you want you should block it instead of being counterproductive for the rest of us.
