Owl City Vote: Who loves 'em & who hates 'em?

Posted by ChineseBoar1995 - January 28th, 2010


Hello Newgrounders!

It's certainly been a long time since I posted another post with a big topic. I have been online for quite some time, just playing games and watching movies all the time. But today I'm here to talk about the band with the hit song "Fireflies": Owl City

Now, of course you know, Owl City is a now popular techno-pop band that made their biggest hit so far on their hit song "Fireflies", and has been on the Billboard for around a week due to its most downloaded song online.

But I'm not here to talk about their history, I'm here to ask: WHO LOVES 'EM & WHO HATES 'EM?

Why People Love 'Em: Due to their catchy beats and neat sound, Owl City seems to be loved by everyone because their hit song seems to be like about the people. It's also present style and not always about being in love, but maybe by having faith on something, remebering good times, or maybe even fearing something that scares you...in a good way (like "Dental Care")
To be honest, I did buy the whole album that contained their hit song. I first heard the song and it was very inspirational. Like I'm stuck in a dream. And it had this "feel-good" theme in it, bringing back good memories. The whole album is also good for trying to fall asleep at night. No wonder people like them.

Why People Hate 'Em: However, sometimes having too much "feel-goodness" may ruin the album. In reality, the frontman (and creator of Owl City) Adam Young is a rather strange man. At his 20's, he use to sleep at his parents place for sometime (according to some news sources). And he does act a bit...strange during live acts. Also, his hit song "Fireflies" was made into a music video later, which didn't have much of a success. Like I said, too much "feel-goodness" may ruin the whole thing.

And so I ask you, Newgrounders, is this: DO YOU LOVE OR HATE OWL CITY?

(NOTE: Just to let everyone know, I do not like Owl City too much. It's just that their music is pretty catchy. So please, don't make any dumbass comments that I support Owl City big time.)

(ANOTHER NOTE: Be sure to check out my newest submission of '09, 7 Nation Army (cover), my first recording with guitars, drums, and my voice!)
