Do you realize it's the other way around right? The Weeknd blew up, then Drake tried to sign him to his label but decided against it. His "re hashed" sound is hardly re hashed for him considering he kinda, ya know, started this sound.
Does your girlfriend make you listen to The Weeknd with her?
still is best song. i dont even care if you like him but you cant seriously believe he is worthy of being billed #1 or paid the way he will be. Can the dude even play an instrument?
We're all just going to agree to disagree, but the majority of former Hangout Festival goers absolutely hate the Weeknd. Drake certainly has a lot to be thankful for in regards to Weeknd, but Drake rose up first up using his shit. Who knows what would have happened. There's a thousand other artists doing the same shit, making raps, beats, whatever....I just happen to think 99% are better than the Weeknd/Drakes garbage.

So yall will be at The Weeknd and we'll be chillin at Run the Jewels, Foals or Flume.
Considering my profile picture is of an album that El-P was apart of, I think you know where I would be, but there is no chance I'm traveling with this tepid lineup.

He plays piano/keyboards. He's also a clearly talented singer and producer. He came up at basically the exact same time as Drake, not riding his coattails.
But let's not let facts get in the way of hating The Weeknd.

It won't. Most here dislike him because we don't enjoy his music. Everything else is just useless bored banter.

I love that the people in this thread are nearly the opposite to Hangout's demographic. 95% of the crowd will be very excited for The Weeknd, but I guess if you'd rather see a producer who has been playing the same hour set for three years then go for it.

I'm not a fan of the weeknd but I think you guys are hating on the wrong headliner... Did you forget Calvin Harris was on the bill? They literally could have stuck almost any cheese EDM artist in that slot and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference live. I think it's more of a tradgedy we had him take a headliner slot when we could have easily had Disclosure or a decent EDM act on the 2nd line to close out the surf stage like years past. Please let Miike Snow, Run the Jewels or Foals play during his set.

Most of us agree with this, too. It's just easier to say play kff the Weeknd as Weaknd than Calvis Harris as whatever play on words someone else can think of.

You can't tell the difference between Calvin Harris and Kaskade? Do you even EDM bro?
but the Weeknd is in no way, shape or form geared to serious music listeners. I'm assuming you realize that.
I guess I'm not a SERIOUS music listener. I am so ashamed.
Thanks for sharing and taking a nice post like a dbag. May I suggest Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper and The Monkees. You should appreciate the unparalleled virtuoso performances found within those acts.

What serious music fan could possibly like music Esteban doesn't like?
I realize you can't help yourself. And I laugh when occasionally warranted. But why do you give a fuck? I don''t really take much of what you say about music any more seriously than your trolling or contrary posts. Rep the Weekend or Michael Jackson or Usher or whatever you listen to all you want. Idgaf. I don't care what that guy thinks about the Weeknd either. I gave my opinion when asked even trying to be nice. This shit is like the McDonalds or Walmart of music. It's got broad appeal. Billions served baby. Embrace the nuance and music for music sake dripping from every bar.

Because I think it's shitty to suggest that anyone who likes a musician you don't like is a lesser person/music fan than you? Seemed like a pretty obvious reason.
I'm happy to debate the merits of any artist any day. People can like whatever they want. People can hate whatever they want. But this shit people are pulling in here of "anyone who likes the music on this line up isn't a real music fan and just uses mommy and daddy's credit card to blahblahblah" is something different entirely and it's fucked up.

Man, that hit me like a ton of bricks. We really have gotten out of control on here. Think of all the lives that have been destroyed. I'm going to think long and hard about what has happened this weakend.
