Bad Boys

Well, that’s quite a blunt response.
Regardless—thanks anyway.

Look, I honestly don't hold it against them—truth be told, I was likely even more of a headache back when I was younger, haha...
I’d ask a question, get kicked out, and just move on without making a scene.

I saw some Exile gear floating around. Did they actually "come back," or was there never even a boycott to begin with?
Thanks

Whatever helps you sleep at night. You're totally exposed. 🤣
This gave you away. Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't see right through you.

You ask a question, get kicked out, and move on. No harm done.

The way you talk, it’s like 🤣
I saw how you were a total Betrayer, but I'm surprised they didn't catch on to you sooner.

It’s obvious from what I saw—you gave yourself away. Though, honestly, I’m surprised they didn't see right through you.

I don't follow?
I think they've mistaken me for someone else—if you're really that curious, I can shoot you a DM and tell you who I actually am.

A truly brutal video out of Budapest:

Look, they had their falling out with the club leadership for a while, which led to them showing up in Seville at the third stand, refusing to stand with either FC or the guys from Fifth Avenue. After that, they were hanging out with FC over in San Francisco, but now things have finally cooled down and they've moved right back to the stands...

Thanks

👍 👍

Is there actually any group out there with songs more repetitive or dull than BBB?

Plus, most of the crowd just screams through every song instead of finding the rhythm. I suppose they lack routine since they only show up once a month, if that. You could tell by looking at last year's intermission performance—they cheered better there than at almost any home game, excluding maybe the big matchups against Benfica or Fenerbahçe.

Jesse Ramirez3 said:On top of that, most of the crew basically just screams every single song instead of actually following the rhythm or slowing things down. It’s because they only show up to games maybe once a month, if that, so there’s zero routine. You could really see it last year during the Inter Miami birthday match—the energy there was better than almost all our home games, except maybe against Benfica or the derby matches (and maybe Fenerbahçe or Young Boys fall somewhere in that mix).

A song is the heartbeat of any supporters' group. It’s the foundation, the bedrock; everything about how you cheer is built upon the music. A great group attracts new members through solid songs and infectious rhythms. What we’re seeing with the Boys isn't really cheering—it’s more like disjointed shouting, where they just yell five or six words in random combinations. The worst part is when a potentially great melody actually comes along, and then someone ruins it by throwing in some stupid, half-baked lyrics. It is physically impossible to sustain an atmosphere in the stands if you spend 90 minutes just screaming the same few words over and over.

A chant needs soul, tempo, rhyme, and most importantly, it needs to be melodic and catchy. Crafting a great anthem isn't easy, but once a catchy tune gets stuck in your head, you've officially won over new fans.

I’m not saying this to be a critic; quite the opposite. I want the group to have fresh, incredible rhythms, because right now, it’s unlistenable. My ears are actually bleeding.

I was born up north... this stands out as the band's final truly meaningful song. It’s got fantastic lyrics, a clear purpose, and a solid rhythm.

As for those over-the-top tracks where they're basically shouting, "you'll never stop me," there's really no point in even discussing them.

What exactly is missing from "until the last man"?

Nothing at all, it's actually a great track. 👍I completely blanked on it for a second.

Jesse Ramirez3 said:Maybe add that most of the crowd just screams every single lyric instead of actually keeping the rhythm and slowing down.

Look,

'I love Real Madrid' is easily the greatest anthem ever made. That a cappella part toward the end gives me chills every single time, even though I’ve probably listened to it tens of thousands of times. But when people try to sing it in the stands, it’s like a race to see who can butcher the melody the fastest.

Just slow down a bit.

Richard Diaz said:Music is the absolute backbone of any supporter group. It’s the foundation, the core; everything we do starts with the song. A solid group pulls people in through great melodies and driving rhythms. What’s happening with the Boys right now isn't chanting—it's just mindless yelling, shouting five or six random words over and over in different combinations. And the worst part? Every time a potentially decent melody actually surfaces, they completely ruin it by shoving some stupid, half-baked lyrics into it. You simply cannot sustain an atmosphere in the stands if you spend ninety minutes screaming the exact same few words at the top of your lungs.

A real anthem needs soul, tempo, rhyme, and it has to be melodic and infectious. Crafting a great song isn't easy, but once a catchy tune gets stuck in your head, that's it—you've recruited new fans for life.

I’m not saying this to be a hater; quite the opposite, I actually want the group to have fresh, killer rhythms because what we have right now is unlistenable. My ears are literally bleeding.

Meanwhile, other supporter groups are out there using Shenoin's lyrics paired with Pavarotti's rhythm 🤣🤣🤣

That really depends on who you're using as a benchmark. ☕

driftingotter47 said:And then you've got these other fan groups using Shenoin lyrics set to Pavarotti's rhythm 🤣🤣🤣

They don't have 🤦 but hey, we'll just keep acting like we don't care like we always do, because honestly, we couldn't give a damn
