I have to disagree; Let 3 isn't garbage.

Man, if they drop another garbage album like that one, it’s gonna absolutely wreck their reputation...
The whole thing boils down to this: they were killer—honestly, top-tier—for their entire career, only to turn around and drop an album that wasn't just mediocre, it was straight-up garbage...
If they only end up with this one single thing on their record, it’s not even going to touch that "legendary" reputation of theirs... barely a scratch...
But if they start coming for them one by one... 🙂

The real issue here isn't just that they messed up once; it's that they were consistently great—maybe even legendary—for their entire career, and then they suddenly dropped an album that wasn't just mediocre, it was straight-up terrible.
If this remains a one-time fluke, their "legendary" status will stay mostly intact. No big deal.
But if they start churning out stuff like this on purpose? That's when things get ugly. 🙂

stormyviper11 said:A massive pop star walks into the local dive bar, greeted by the sighs of thirsty girls and the pure, unadulterated hatred from the guys. It’s all in their eyes—that "why him and not my garage band?" look—as he orders a beer. The bartender treats him like total trash, serving up a watered-down nothingness after making him wait forever. Some tall guy casually blows smoke right in his face, then drops his cigarette and crushes it underfoot, basically signaling how he feels about the celebrity. Everyone starts shouting over the music just to drown out the set, and the second he moves to a different corner, the sound tech tweaks the levels to make everything sound even worse. Feeling totally unwelcome, he tries to bolt toward the restroom, but really he’s just trying to hit the exit. He runs straight into a wall of indie snobs who won't budge, staring him down with pure disdain. "Sellout," echoes in his head, even though nobody actually said it out loud. Catching a split second of distraction, he slips under someone's elbow and lunges through the doors, feeling those judgmental stares burning holes in his back. Out in front of the club, distracted and defeated, he steps right into a muddy puddle and then straight into dog crap. Never again, he tells himself. Never again...

put this on the story screen 😬

I can't take it anymore. I just have to get this off my chest:
Kset was my sanctuary—basically my own little private casino where I’d sit and wait for the stars to align, hoping for a lucky break or a massive jackpot like m Ward hit. by Aljoša
🙈
To make matters worse:
Kset has become this beacon of indie snobbery, pure elitism, and all those other pretentious "isms" that honestly just make me want to roll my eyes.

And that's coming from HIM!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 😵

Give him a break. Aljoša is a good guy and a solid colleague of mine. He just had the misfortune of being born into a family of high-profile, wealthy attorneys, so he’s been stuck juggling music and the law at the same time. Honestly, I bet he’d drop the legal career in a heartbeat if he weren't worried about looking soft.
Since he’s always had money, he could have easily turned into a total snob or some unrefined jerk, so I’ll take who he is now over those options any day.
As for his music—look, in that specific genre here in the States, about 93% of what comes out is garbage, just like Ramirez. They aren't really breaking any ground, for better or worse.

I'm telling you again: Aljoša is a decent human being, so quit dragging him through the mud!!

Let's not make it personal regarding Aljoša—let's just focus on his subpar music (and those imaginary opinions of his)

I don't think anyone ever actually considered him a bad person, to be honest

Ramirez gave vatra nothing but a handful of ideas filled with terrible lyrics, which simply aren't worthy of the vatra profile

Is this even worth debating? 😈

Ugh, honestly, just save it—those jokes were absolute bottom-of-the-barrel trash, and to make matters worse, they showed up two days too late. 😂

I didn't even realize until I'd already typed out four sentences of a scathing comeback... but whatever, who cares.

@Darko (just so we're clear, I'm talking about Vejder), I don't know Aljoša, and I haven't actually listened to Ramirez. Anything I caught on the radio just went in one ear and out the other, but that whole rant he wrote about Kset? Yeah, that lit up the moron alert and snob alert sensors in my brain immediately. Honestly, I don't see any reason to change my mind. Even if I kind of get where he's coming from regarding the "indie snobbery" vibe at Kset, it doesn't make his pretentious attitude or the way he reaches those conclusions any less annoying.

As for his music... well, in that genre, about 93% of what comes out in America is garbage, just like Ramirez, so they aren't really breaking any ground either way.

Again, Aljoša is a good person, so quit coming for him!!

It's all fine.

I read the piece. I'm with you, but I’d add a "bad writer" warning to that list.

For a columnist, it’s just not cutting it.

Because of that, he’s stuck trying to balance his music career with the law firm. Honestly, I bet he’d drop the legal stuff in a heartbeat if he could, but he doesn't want to look like a quitter.
Since he’s been loaded his whole life, he could have easily turned out to be some pretentious snob or a total lowlife, so I guess it's better that he ended up how he is.
And as for his music? In that genre here in the States, about 93% of what comes out is absolute garbage, just like Ramirez, so they aren't really standing out for better or worse.

That definitely wasn't a reason to ne jediti kosa!
