I will say I empathize with wanting to hype an artist on this particular medium. For all its flaws, KTT is still my favorite place to talk music and follow artists I love after all these years. It’s the forum communication style for sure, but when I’m part of a thread where everyone’s on the same page about an artist that I don’t know anyone else f***ing with, that’s magic.
That said, the oversaturation is real. I gotta be objective as much as I love Fred, the threads have been on a Yeat level of fans overdoing it lately
fred doesnt feel like co-opting a genre though. yeat is kinda anti hip hop
Yeah man that adds up for people lmao. Especially when it’s someone like Fred who isn’t exactly the usual fare on here
Imo we oughta keep the main thread popping rather than making a new one every time an article drops
what kind of state are y'all in mentally where 5 threads weigh so heavy on ur mind

That’s fair, y’all won’t catch me defending Yeat on here whatsoever lmao

fair
I’m just trying to put myself in the shoes of someone seeing his name on here out of the blue and gaining a bias bc of it fair or not
Idk I’m very pro Fred though I get where you’re coming from
ppl just losing they s*** because good things happening is rare
This is also real
Tbh my growing favorite thing about this music is how it deals with depression lowkey. Its not even lyrical music but this doesn't feel gimmicky. It's actually giving people in that scenario a sense of release as opposed to other music that addresses the topic in a superficial and dangerous way

If you type Fred in search there’s 7 threads in the last week
Like 12 over the last 2 months

ima make 7 more
Most people just eye roll over the writing in OP. If it was framed any other way people would just say cool and thread would die at 3 pages
I’m not really talking about hyperbolic threads like these, probably the wrong place for this, but KTT is always mad cynical whenever a new artist pops up and a large portion of the site fw it.
It’s like a weird hipster thing where people feel the need to push back against something because a lot of people like it, despite listening or not.
Use Google
You’re saying nothing is my point. I knew you weren’t going to elaborate. Thanks
Suddenly he's a POP artist when you compare him to actual electronic musicians LMFMAOOO you niggas are so unserious on here. I couldn't even fathom this level of d***sucking being possible outside of Kanye and Drake stans
He makes pop music. He's worked with Charli XCX, BTS, Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran etc.
For how much you hate on this guy I'm not sure if you've even actually given him a chance at all
@p_p that’s my dawg fasho 🐾
Fred Again makes the most human sounding electronic music ive heard in a min
idk if that makes sense, but not everything needs to be genre pushing or esoteric to be good
crine how you an electronic artist but your music sounds human mid again
Yeah man that adds up for people lmao. Especially when it’s someone like Fred who isn’t exactly the usual fare on here

last part 📠
official thread is there for a reason

the only Fred I listen to is Freddie Gibbs
No because yall keep over hyping his ass with the bait articles and titles like in OP. He's not doing anything much different from his peers lol. Where was this energy for Porter Robinson with his last album?
Yeah, where was the energy for this album? I loved this album and I f*** with Fred's music too
But saying "Where was this energy for X artist I like" is really not the way to go about it at all
the only Fred I listen to is Freddie Gibbs
