Why the Muse Hate?
So, this has probably been done before, but I just need to ask. Why do so many people 'hate' (I use that lightly) Muse? I was just looking online (as you do) and have come across so many discussions on why Muse is bad. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I just get confused...

They promote their music with singles like this:

Was that ever released as a single? I thought that was just an album track and the only singles from The 2nd Law were Survival, Madness, Follow Me (which to be fair isn't very good), Supremacy, and Panic Station.

Hey, it was only one of the options. And to be fair, I have met plenty of people like that... in high school, but still.

Either way, when you're using songs like that to promote your records, build hype and/or cause a stir, you're naturally gonna be quite a polarising band. Though apparently the band have always been like that tbf, guess it just comes with the territory of making bombastic music.

Pretty sure they came out and said as much at the time iirc. Still, applies to them purposefully releasing polarising music.

Loads of people see them as insincere and over the top in a musical kind of way. Others simply don't like Matt's voice which is very understandable.
And a lot of people seem to be put off by the obvious influences in their music which, combined with their reputation as Radiohead rip offs, just makes them sound like a rip-off band in general. "They just stole this from Queen/Van Halen/RATM" etc.

How do they have no taste if they're pop fans? Their taste is obviously pop music, or does that not count?

I think this must be why a lot of music lovers hate Muse. People who look for musical subtlety and well crafted lyrics are going to run a mile!

The only reason there's more noticeable and vocal hate is because they're such a popular, "can't escape hearing about them" band (in some countries.)
They're an over the top, self-admittedly cheesy band that attempts to cater to the mainstream, still. And their stage shows are well known for being obnoxiously overblown, which also isn't everyone's cup of tea and can be seen as a cry for attention (like the Uns trailer...) But, basically, they've crested that popularity peak where people are just frankly sick of hearing about them. (And it's a little cool to hate on them.) |

The British are notorious for knocking down anyone who becomes very famous. Craig David and James Blunt are two highly talented musicians it became fashionable to hate. I think it's the same with Muse. I don't know whether this happens on other countries.
