      @@kimifw58 Same here. What does that mean? Like, it makes you want to join the military so you don't have to hear Insomnia Dagger's brand of generic, shitty, style of boring music? Do they mean, their music sounds like U.S. military and/or army recruitment music? Like music from a call of duty game or something like that? Have Gonad Migraines soundtracked a cod game before? Was one of the members of Gonad Migraines IN the military or army before they joined Insomnia Dagger? Does their lead singer look like someone who'd recruit people? Does he have a look of someone who either WOULD or WANT to join the military? Either way, everything they've done after "It's Time" is shit, and not worth listening to, in my opinion.

      They are basically the Nickelback of Indie Rock, and of the current generation. Both bands have very limited sonic pallets and recycle the (same 4 pop chords, themes, lyric ideas, melodies, etc) on just about every song. Both bands have a very plastic, wannabe image and bad vocalists that add more insult to injury on their already bad reputations, despite their commercial success. And although Imagine Dragons are popular in the short term, similar to Nickelback, they will be regarded as a trash band in the long run by most people .
      There are differences such as, 1. (Dan Reynolds being a better singer than Chad Kroeger), and 2. (the instrumentation/melodies of Imagine Dragons are not as offensive/sludgy/grating as Nickelback in lyrical content), And they are of different rock sub-genres, (Nickelback is Post-Grunge, Imagine Dragons, is Pop/Indie Rock). But yes there are quite a few similarities, I hope I have highlighted them all, as I am definitely not the only one who realizes.

    Appears to be an unpopular opinion in the comments but here it goes:
    Imagine Dragons used to be a cool band. I really, really liked them. and I still like their music. But, Evolve is honestly the worst collection of "music" they've put together. I think 1 or 2 songs from it are "okay" but nothing more. I'd honestly prefer their covers, or their first album over Evolve. I try not to be one of those "ALL MUSIC THEY MAKE IS SHIIIT" people, but ID seems to be going down the path of bland pop music.

      Unfortunately, Todd cannot predict the future.
      Clearly, just look at his other predictions.
      But when 2017 came out it was probably a second or third worst year in the previous 20, which is saying something since that includes the years 2001, 2004, 2008 and 2016.
      Of course, 2020 blows all those out of the water, but 2020 is a freak show of a year. I don’t think there’s been a worse year than 2020 globally since at least 1962 (when everyone on earth spent 3 months waiting for their own irradiated deaths), and it may be the worst since like 1943. We’ve had how many coups? How many disease deaths? How many violent protests in how many countries? Hell, half the world caught fire this year and we didn’t even have Hitler to thank for that! We had one of the biggest non-nuclear explosions in history level half a city and NO ONE TALKED ABOUT IT MORE THAN A WEEK.
      There’s no other way to put it, 2020 is it’s own breed of hell on earth. If Todd predicted 2020 everyone would have thought he was suicidal on release of this video. It’s just been that bad.
      And what’s worse is that it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Government surveillance is only getting tighter, companies are only gaining more control over our lives, fascism is still on the rise across the globe and the hurricanes and fires are only gonna get worse as the world reshapes itself in our shadow. 2020 is only the beginning, and 2017 was the warning shot we all thought was the finishing blow. God I hope this statement ages like milk.

And what makes it worse is that the radio announcers themselves actually sound kinda pained whenever they're forced to announce that song.

    I figured out what Imagine Dragons' appeal is: All of their more recent songs, I'm convinced, are trying to be a Christian Rock band, but without actually invoking God's name.
    Like, "Believer" -- because they now believe in the Lord, but of course they don't want to actually mention anything Biblical. And in the case of "Thunder" -- the whole imagery of thunder and lightening, but they aren't going to say anything about God's might or power or whatever.
    ...So, I guess I understand why Todd hates them, now.

      I’m pretty sure they’re Mormon. They’re from Utah and one of the deeper cuts from their album seems to hint heavily at being about working as a missionary in the LDS Church. They probably just don’t want to be labeled as a Christian band to get a wider appeal.

      ...funnily enough that actually matches up with quite a few singles from their first album. i won't apologize for liking on top of the world or demons (after that album their work largely got quite stale unfortunately) but i'll admit they do have a couple of interesting christian rock-ish traits.

      I think you're pretty much dead on. They're (very liberal) Mormons, and their faith shows in a lot of their music. Twenty One Pilots is also a Christian group, and I'd say their success could be explained the same way.
      Now that rock's position as anti-authority has been subverted by the youth who supported it growing up and becoming the authority, it makes sense that hip-hop has taken its place in terms of relevance. Now the genre's only chances for real success is to sell products, appeal to older/conservative markets, or to tap into people's internal yearning for the catharsis of worship through music (whether it's explicitly religious or not)

      Dan, the singer, has a wife who is in a much better band, Nico Vega. Nico Vega has opened up for Imagine Dragons. Imagine back when when a young Black Sabbath could have opened for the Monkees and you can picture the talent level drop when the main act hits the stage.
