Never understood it. Always loved their music. Ever since the first song I heard, which iirc was Radioactive back in...fuck, 2012? Before their first studio album came out. Loved them ever since(even if I feel Night Visions was probably their best album).

I too really enjoy them and don't understand the hate.

The biggest criticism I've heard is that their music is the most generic rock, but none of the people I've heard say that have been able to name other mainstream music that they sound like.

Never hated them. Just thought they were OK, but nothing by them really blows me away. But the Arcane intro song is terrible and that's fax.

I've heard they're similar to Cold Play, maybe their early stuff is. But they also have a very distinct and unique way of switching up their music that makes it really hard to say any other band is similar.

They're already categorized as dad rock by many people because they're one of the go-to bands for older dudes who say "I still listen to new music".

I largely don't mind them and think most of the hate is just memeing on them. But...

It really fuckin is. How the fuck that wreck of a song became a top single from an otherwise inoffensively mediocre band is beyond me.

Simplistic yet catchy songs that get overplayed to death. A lot of people also resent the fact they've won awards with said simple yet catchy songs.

Their songs sound very manufactured. Bland and overproduced instrumentation with big anthemic vocals that seem designed to make drunk people shout along with the choruses at like a football game. Or, yes, as others have brought up, to be jammed into movie trailers where people are doing something "badass".

I mainly just find them super boring, but the exception where it turns into abject hate is the song Thunder, which is absolutely wretched.

You actually like that Radioactive song? I thought that one was boring, even for them.

I honestly feel like a ton of their older stuff is very meaningful. There's lots of metaphors and similies, and in some instances it's just happy lyrics with a gleeful backdrop. I don't think they're bland, they always have such a unique sound. Yeah, they have ear worm songs but I fail to see what's wrong with having catchy songs.

There's a ton of passion in their music, and the band itself is very empassioned about it.

One of my personal favorites is Dream.

America is one of their softer songs

I also love Whatever It Takes

Same reason people hated Call of Duty: it inspired other artists to abandon their style to cash in on the craze.

i liked what i heard instrumentally, but his singing really puts me out of it. like with AJR, i think they end up worse than the sum of their parts. vocalists just pretty much make or break bands for me.
