Ratatat. I got into them through an Albino Blacksheep video, and they were my secret favourite band for a bit.
Then they got popular, and people that I didn’t really jell with started casually raving about them, and I found it difficult to enjoy the music because of those people.
Years later, I grew up. Music is for everyone, and everyone forms their own relationship with it that shouldnt impact the enjoyment of the music itself.
Yes, they were sold on the band through mass advertizing channels. Yes, I discovered them through a more organic means. But that’s how fans are born, and yes some of them aren’t there for the music, but they are there to have a good time and maybe those songs hold special memories for them later in life when they were hanging around with friends.

Oooo I saw Ratatat the first time I got high on weed in public. They were incredible! I didn’t realize they got popular!
