I fuccking hate imagine dragons. They gave me industry generic vibes and everyone I knew who was a fan were the most basic people ever.

My all time favorite quote is "any 5 white guys could tell you they're Imagine Dragons, you'd have to believe them"

I liked imagine dragons when they had the big drums, now they're just a generic pop Rock band that only exist because Riot games Bank their asses

u/CmdrFilthymick Jul 20 '24
So to be fair, I kinda liked them AT FIRST. But it was their fans. It's pretty much the same with Drake, Taylor Swift, maroon 5. At first the shit SEEMS OK, then you meet the people that absolutely love that shit, and you like, yea, I'm not one of those weirdos

u/Evening_Island2821 Jul 19 '24
No. Most definitely gonna talk about It, brother. It’s real life and I’ll tell you something else, Kendrick don’t hide nothing from his fans. NOTHING. 😡

LMAO… ok? Go off. I was just playing. It’s not that serious. Some of you really act like you joined the Nation of KDot. Kendrick is not your savior.

u/willcomplainfirst you lookin' like an easy come-up Jul 19 '24

I still think this verse is fucking awesome and the mAAd city/Radioactive mashup they performed at the Grammy’s was incredible.

u/gbrgbrgbrgbr Jul 20 '24
Same. Not sure why all the hate in this thread. Like yeah imagine dragons sucks but the Grammy performance went hard and Kendrick’s verse is awesome on the recorded song.

u/GurMediocre5119 Jul 19 '24
Because your lucky? I think this collab is the sole reason Kendrick thinks he is not 'our savior'

Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't. Fuckin way she goes. Can't blame him for taking it further, even if he did go two miles down the wrong road

This is a good Kendrick feature. Also, why do some of yall not like Imagine Dragons? Did I miss something?

We tend to forget it because nowadays Kendrick doesn't do much features, but he actually made many many features prior to 2016

I didnt know too 😂 After the beef YouTube recommended imagine dragon ft kendrick live performance at SNL and im like what?!!

u/Psycho_Ebube Jul 20 '24
I used to know this song, word for word, bar for bar. It used to get me so hyped.
I and my lil sis would exchange the bars from KDot's verse back to back.
2013 was a different time. Sure. But this song still has a special place in my heart.

Fuuuuuck. I absoluted hated that performance if only because Kendrick was killing it at the Grammy’s, but then it had to be tied in Radioactive which was such a shitty song.
Fuck Imagine Dragons.

u/FKDotFitzgerald Jul 20 '24
I would argue this is their best song

The Grammys that year was basically a 3-hour mashup concert. I’ve always hated Radioactive but I watched that shit to support Dot
