Jumping on Bandwagans (1 Viewer)

[talkingllama]

in what instances, i.e. what bands/acts, is it acceptable to jump on bandwagans?

If you buy all their back albums and become an hardcore fan, does that make it better?

Hardly jumping on a bandwagon is it. That's just timing.
I bought my first They Might Be Giants album in 1998. With a year I had pretty much everything I could get. In fact great idea for a thread...

Meh. I "got into" the Velvet Underground about 30 years after they were cool. Bought all their albums too.

the nirvana bandwagon is as burnt out as a car on a parisian street, but that dont stop the kiddies listenin to the music now, does it?
fuck the bandwagon theory, if people get into music 'late' who fackin cares?
is there some guy out there, like the milk monitor in school, who is rationing how much back catalogue music a person can buy?
Osama im gonna join you in the back.

theres plenty of stuff that i like now that i wouldnt have like when i was released first.

does it count as bandwagon on jumping if the music was released before you were born?

It's the reason back catalogues are there. I would also suspect that musicians are delighted when this happens.

everybody wins, cred issues? who cares.

I'm forever getting into stuff that I didn't have the money to buy when younger. I did it recently with Deerhoof.Had never heard tehm before and caught a track on that burn my eye dvd. went out the next day and bought everything I could get my hands on. Brilliant fun.
