What are some songs that you started listening to ironically, but grew to genuinely enjoy? - eviltoast

I like The Man Behind The Slaughter by The Living Tombstone. I don’t tend to enjoy fan-made music, but this one was too groovy to pass up.

    I want to say Clown Core but the insane talent is obvious almost immediately. you might click on it ironically but you’ll never listen that way twice.

    I guess Baby Metal fits the bill better.

      I’m listening to “Hell” and I must admit I am not only impressed but also deeply afraid. I will never listen to this again. Thanks for sharing!

      My music instructor suggested them for me to listen once. I could tell by his tone, that this suggestion was ironic at least on some level (he was only half-expecting me to like it), but after I gave it a listen and we started discussing it, it became obvious that both of us like this music pretty intensely and unironically.

      I personally view Clown Core as a conceptual musical comedy. They utilize the clown aesthetic as a framing context, in which they use MAD SKILLS to inspect and subvert all expectations about music structure, direction, tone and sound.

      My roommate showed me and said the same thing. Then I showed my boss and he started listening to it unironically.

      I do still go and listen to some of them sometimes, myself.
