Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Sublime is overrated (lemmy.world)

I just find they're overplayed, overrated, and kind of cringey.

Ska is one of my go to genres, a favorite, but I wish Sublime would go away. Every time I hear them I can't get their songs out of my head for much longer than I would like. Every time.

I also used to hear them way too much in a place outside the US, which outside of shitty pop music was one of those "American" bands or whatever they thought, so bars played them. A lot.

Their Gold Album is a great compilation, but Robin the Hood was probably my favorite. If you want to see the best they had to offer it's those two discs on Gold.

Date rape is easily their worst song, I skip it when it comes on. I also hate scarlet begonias, but that's just me.

Let's Go Get Stoned may be my favorite song. It's great musically, when the song breaks down in the third act. DJ's is a jam with a moonbah type beat that kinda differs from the punky ska sound. Their best punky ska sound is probably from the likes of Seeing Red featuring Gwen Stefani, who I cannot stand, but she absolutely belongs on the track, she sounds great.

And then Pool Shark, the two versions of it. When you listen to the lyrics it's pretty blunt about Brad's struggles with heroin, weird to have it be so in your face.

And they've got the classics in what I got, and Santeria, and Garden Grove, all great tunes.

So yeah, I'm a fan. I don't listen to them like I used to, although I'll toss them on on the beach, I consider them to be beach music nowadays, them and 311.

Boss dj is one of my all-time favorite songs... Robbin the hood was absolutely the best sublime album
