What made Loveless ultimately prevail in the Yea Forumscore wars?
Replayability.
Also sounds pretty rad when you're stoned
Because it's bad
it's just plain based desu while itaots is very cringe
It's actually good
a steady stream of sad newfags

loveless appeals more to the soicels who make up the majority of Yea Forums
zoomers
Basically this and this When zoomers come here, they usually have never ever heard of shoegaze, so they become intrigued and usually start with Loveless, which is very highly regard by everyone except a few contrarians. So after some time they realize that shoegaze is actually shit outside the main bands, and Loveless sticks with them.
On the contrary, ITAOS is folk rock which is not a meme genre so therefore it does not attract many new zoomer listeners
both good albums but yeah this
Zoomers lack the emotional capacity to appreciate ITAOTS, they think it's a funny meme album and not a heartwrenching eulogy for a love never felt.
nice drums
>Zoomers lack the emotional capacity
this, they're practically music consumption machines who don't actually process what they're listening to
I want to disagree with you but it wouldn't surprise me that newfags don't listen to mucore
ITAOTS is more popular in the public consciousness
just to clarify, I also think Loveless is the better album, after all
What the hell are you talking about
Loveless is a boring and overrated piece of garbage with no redeeming value.
>Loveless still consistently discussed to this day
>ITAOTS is basically [current year]...I am forgotten...
buzzwords buzzwords buzzwords buzzwords
buzzword is a buzzword zoomtube.
That's more an indicator of what kind of trash comes to /my/ than anything else
haha this is me
i loved the genre when i just found out about it, but by the time i got to bands like Whirr my passion for the genre was pretty much dead.
still love the classics

why would zoomers be less emotional than previous generations?
Personally I think it's because Loveless is sonically mindblowing when you first hear it, and that's unlikely to change any time soon.
ITAOTS really is a funny meme album.
at first.
then it's just DADDY PLEEEEASEEE HEAR THE SOOOONG THAT III SIIIING
borderline zoomer/tourist/normie here, both albums are fucking trash just like most stuff that gets rec'd here
that's why your opinion doesn't matter
That's brain damage from consuming the mary jane
I was at a pizza joint and they were playing Aeroplane. Like the whole album straight through. Pretty based. Never heard any Loveless in public though.
Loveless/MBV had signicant influence on the early-mid 90s grunge/alt rock sound as well, and there are a bunch of boomer types who love that stuff on the board, and thus we naturally gravitate to Loveless more than ITAOTS. I enjoy both records but am more much apt to listen to Loveless.
loveless is a 9/10 whereas itaots is an 8 at best
It doesn't sound like the diary of some pure onions fag wishing he could be Anne Frank's boyfriend.
