Has anyone here even listened to concert for aliens? Suggesting that this stuff isn’t pop punk is so snobby. It’s pop punk infused with 2020 pop. It’s been years now since any artist has done anything remotely close to this in the mainstream so I definitely appreciate it. I mean really when was the last time you saw a performance at the VMAs even remotely close to that? Ten years ago? More?

It's awesome, I actually listen to it quite frequently.  I don't like MGK, or didn't really, but some of that song gives me serious blink vibes or just where pop punk should be today vibes. "I'm in a room by the door" part particularly.

It's not even worth it. The only people on the entire internet who claim its not pop punk are all part of the same angry clique on b182 online. They were going so far as denying that people on youtube were calling it pop punk which is 99% of the comments and reaction videos. 

They should be politicians because then they turned it around on me like why are you calling it pop punk and categorizing music?! Very bizarre

Jesus H. Fuck, did this mentally retarded gorilla of an argument hurt when it popped out of the one brain cell you've got left pinging around that skull of yours?

Speedo on queue, thank you for proving my point! So basically I called it what everyone else is, a few idiots argue/disagree about it, then they tell me to stop arguing while they rage and swear at me lol.

 

*on cue, stupid.

Using "queue" in the sense is how I know you're not British.

C’mon. Watch the MGK video for My Bloody Valentine. I’m actually proud of this song and video. 20 years after the blink heyday, for that to come out and be popular? Awesome. Captures everything that was great about blink but in a modern way.

 

[Speedo]

I wouldn't go that far. It's an alright song and I kept it on the THPS playlist but I don't know about all that pride you have in it.

I think they’re both missing the same key thing: dynamic. It’s all so flat. So if it has to be that one is better than the other, I give the nod to the veterans who’s body of work I enjoy. I hate MGK, but that’s only cause I live in Eminem’s backyard. If he sparks a new want for pop punk, fuck yeah. Just don’t think he’s quite as good as blink featuring the hired guns. Both of his songs are super derivative, and when bloody valentine comes on all I hear is Brand New. So consider this a letter that ain’t M G or K. Everyone that’s on this MGK pop punk dick should just find an album by a band they really used to love in high school that you didn’t ever listen to for whatever reason and pretend it’s new.

I know tone doesn't come across well on the internet, but whether you're German or not, it was intended to be a playful`comment, not an attack.

we good, but plz recognize there are those of us whose grandma make great fried potatoes and our grandfathers looked ace in hugo boss. the struggle is real.

STOP DIVERTING! MGK better than skiba?!  come on dudes. 

Whoa whoa whoa. Nobody better be trying to say MGK is better than Skiba. Yes it’s true that Skiba is the guitarist of choice for this iteration of blink, but he doesn’t really write any of it. Almost everything Skiba wrote with AK3 is genius. This isn’t about MGK vs. Skiba. This is MGK’s pop punk vs. blinks current pop punk. Don’t step out of line.

Okay, of all the comments to make, this one makes the least sense. Wtf?

The guitar on bloody valentine sounds a lot like “Logan To Government Center”. I say derivative because the guitar sounds like everything a young pop punk fan in 2001 played once they learned power chords and tried to write a song. Which isn’t necessarily bad, but if we’re making arguments for whether MGK is better than what blink is right now, I think it’s important to consider. 

[Jan Mortensen]

I wouldn't say MGK is better than Skiba, but when you factor in how good Skiba was in the past in Alk3 and how bad he is with Blink...it won't be as far off as you'd think...
