I hate Sublime not that I don’t like other ska bands just my exwife and subsequent other’s whom I’ve been with have tried their hardest to get me in to it and nope I mean it when I fucking hate that band.
Is this really an unpopular opinion? Has anyone ever met a decent human being that enjoys Sublime?
The landlord of one of my old apartments was trying to fuck this girl who was doing an internship in the city I was living so he let her move into the house for the duration of her internship. She quickly became friends with all the local crusty hippy idiots and would invite them over for dinner parties which was almost always vegan curry. They would sit around the house eating curry and smoking dirt weed sometimes breaking out banjos or ukuleles or some other obnoxious instruments which they would play very poorly and they would all sing along. It was quite a scene.
Anyways, one night I left the house around 8pm to get some dinner with friends and then to go to a party after. Normal Saturday night stuff. When I left the house one of the guys was freestyle rapping (obviously very poorly) over Santeria while one of the other idiots was slamming the keys on our piano trying to find the “groove” of the song I guess. I left the house, got into my friend’s car and just starting laughing. It was awful.
When I returned to the house at around 3am that night I walked in the door and the same guy was rapping over the same song. I felt like I had walked into the Twilight Zone. It was unbelievable. The rest of the crew looked like absolute zombies like they had sat around smoking opium all night (which they had done in the house before so it wasn’t inconceivable) just listening to this guy.
To this day I wonder if he was rapping the entire time or what exactly had transpired in those 7 hours. It was surreal.
That was the moment I decided to move out of that house.
Sublime are fucking awful.
