I found Mother Mother without TikTok but after their TikTok explosion. A downside of getting popular specifically due to TikTok is that other new people first see your new army of mostly teenage fans and assume your music is inherently more appealing to people with still developing brains, putting them off listening to more. I feel old amongst their online community of fans but I would not mind, if the age of other fans were not biasing other adults against trying listening seriously to their large and diverse but mostly indie rock catalogue. Morrissey once made the point thar concert critics judge whether they are supposed to admit to liking you according to who comes to see you, and I have seen that in reviews by non-Canadian critics previously unaware of Mother Mother, who say "this is not meant for me" as if they are reviewing something simplistic and juvenile like MCR or The Twilight movies, unaware that just a few years prior the great majority of the then-smaller audiences were the same age or older than the band or were teens raised listening to it by their gen X parents. The music is the same so clearly people falsely assume that a band's music still determines the demographic paying to see them, when nowadays it can be a total fluke of which app a trend went viral on. If they had gone viral via Facebook memes with audio, the venues would be full of boomers instead.
