- Supposedly, the people who get it...get it. Today I'm talking about the appeal of The 1975 as they're currently on tour and frontman Matty Healy is making waves with his ambiguous charismatic charm and ability to make people simultaneously love him and hate him. The more the I listen to The 1975 the more I like them. However, please tell me what you think of them in the comments. If you like them, tell me why and if you don't like them please also tell me why. I'm intrigued.

After this video I'm unsubscribing - don't promote terrible music
We need a love it if we made it review
I can’t help but wish to witness a Justin/Matty conversation about nothing in particular. It would fascinate me
YES! Would be an amazing and thoughtful convo!
they need to meet, 100%
It feels they have similar conversation styles (except for Matty enjoying being controversial lol)
They would both love it
"I mean he's got moves.. he's got the charisma, the hairstyle, the suit.. the strat you can buy from Argos. He's just got it all. This guy's a fucking genius." All of our thoughts on Matt Healy in a nutshell
I used to hate them just because of their aesthetic when their first record was out. Realised I was just being a music snob now I love them and seen them numerous times on every tour since. Sometimes you just have to take the time to listen
I was the same as you. Slept on them for 6 years then saw them play their new song "People" at Reading in 2019 and quickly realised they weren't the same band that put out "Chocolate" years earlier.
This was exactly my reaction. First time hearing Chocolate, I was like "Who are these bunch of wet wipes?". Especially when I found out they're from Cheshire and not down south as Matty's singing voice would suggest.
But then I heard Love Me, thought it was an absolute banger, then listened to their full discography and they've been my favourite band of the last decade ever since. They're superb.
You still should hate them, pure garbage
@@maeyoung2476 oh, OK, you've changed my mind, you're right, I hate them now, thanks Mae Young. How's the hand?
I’m glad you guys are enjoy them this much, I’ve yet to appreciate them. I don’t really get it. It kind of reminds me of how I dislike the band Highly Suspect, yet everyone else seems to lose their minds over them. Maybe this stuff just isn’t for me, I’m just glad to see young people supporting new bands.
Rather than a wedding reception vibe, I think it's more of a funeral- the flowers on the ground, black suits, the dancers carrying matty off at the end. This also makes more sense when you know that the song is bout school shootings. You can also notice the dancers holding their hands in the air and running through the background which is obviously symbolic when you know the lyrics!! Just some inteersting information for anyone reading
That's exactly right.
You sound very familiar. 😊. What's your take on the story that crosses almost all of their album (starting with "an encounter"). I have..... Theories. 😊
Thanks for that! Just re-listened to it.
You nailed it.
Someone pin this for our Justin please, it’s really informative and cool to know
The 1975 are one of the best bands right now. Being Funny in a Foreign Language is one of the best albums of the year, and HAPPINESS, oh, that's the best song I've listened to this year.
Happiness is sooo good
I’ll contradict you, just bc I’m obsessed with Oh, Caroline… but I agree with most of what you say 😅
@@jomaix Oh Caroline is My second favorite from the album! Live Version is insane!
If you dont have a developed music taste ye they might seem good but overall they are technically poor and lack any inspiration or experimentation to go with it.
@@108noonoo give us your music taste then.
I just saw them a few days ago, they were incredible. Four support players, total of 8 musicians on stage, they sounded huge and fantastic. Quite happy to be a massive fan of The Darkness and The 1975.
The last song you covered by The 1975 caught me off guard and I went down a rabbit hole and now they are one of my favorite modern bands. Matty Healy has a combination of sincerity and self awareness that I wish I possessed.
Ya damn straight...NEVER be ashamed or embarrassed by the music that you enjoy.
There are no "guilty" pleasures for me, only pleasures.
there are guilty pleasures though
The concept is fairly easy to grasp:
"Something you consider to be shit, but you enjoy it anyway"
As in, I normally listen to the Grateful Dead, Breakout, Beatles, Stones, Kinks, stuff like this. But then again I did enjoy for some time Sunrise Avenue's two hits or "I'm not rich, but i live like a millionaire" song. All three of these songs are. absolute garbage, but there are times when I find them quite appealing. It's a guilty pleasure.
@@guciowitomski3825 and exactly why I said for ME and not for YOU/ everyone.
I am quite aware of the definition of the term "guilty pleasure" .
I PERSONALLY have zero guilt when it comes to the music I enjoy, but perhaps I am at an age where I realize that opinions of others have no bearing on my enjoyment and vice versa. It's so freeing.
I don't judge other people's musical tastes as opinions in the arts are so subjective. What is shit for us could bring someone else intense pleasure.
I don't think it's guilt so much as embarrassment to admit what others deem shit. I am not embarressed by much anymiore.
@@ElectricCavegurl but, it's not about guilt or embarrassment towards others. It's about what you believe is bad or good.
That was the entirety of my point.
What is funny about guilty pleasure is exactly that even though you dislike something, you still like it. It's that paradox that makes it a guilty pleasure.
The songs I mentioned are generally well liked and most people would never think of calling them a guilty pleasure.
@@guciowitomski3825 If I dislike it, I have no guilt admitting that either. If I like it and it brings me pleasure or evokes an emotional response. I like it, plain and simple. If I think it's shit. I don't like it.
You keep trying to explain the definition of guilty pleasure to me... but I simply don't adhere to that way of thinking anymore. I get it though.
It's quite ok that you don't feel the same way. You are entitled to like , not like or feel guilty or embarrassed by whatever you want. ☺️
@@guciowitomski3825 yeah but nickelback turns out can actually play lol
Man I love hearing you talk about The 1975. I have said very similar things that you say in this video and have people act like I am out of my mind. I really think they're one of the best bands on the planet at the moment. Glad you love it!
I’ve made this exact argument in my circle of musicians too. They’re in the same lineage of bowie->u2->Radiohead->(arcade fire?)->the 1975..
@@connoryballantyne We are on the exact same page! Not the biggest Arcade Fire fan, though I respect their impact and talent.
@@TheEndless560 pretentious micro-essay incoming... each of those bands I mentioned were pop-distillations of the experimental music of their zeitgeist. Bowie and U2 incorporated Eno & Lanois' connection to the burdgeoning ambient music & early sampling community into stadium pop-rock format, Radiohead distilled the up-and-coming experimental electronic (aphex, etc), 2-step, and underground dnb/triphop into a pop rock format. Arcade Fire took the neo-classical and experimental baroque elements (seen blatantly in both Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld being in the actual band) and formatted it into a stadium pop-rock package ppl could get behind. The 1975 are doing the exact same thing with the fringe music of today- the resurgence of Burial/garage music, the neo-classicalism of the Erased Tapes label sounds, the direct incorporation of BI's sampling, obvious Reich influences, etc. And formatting it into a simpler form for the People-of-Today. Musicheads of the day for each of those bands mentioned lamented int he press at the time that they were all lame copies of 'real experimental music'. So again- similarities shown in your very comment. But we know that's not a pop bands job. A truly good (art-focused) pop band distills those generally inaccessible source materials into more digestible forms for the general public to get a taste of- and then- hopefully: seek out the deeper source material. That's why so many experimental artists fuck with them. They fuck with good art so they're trusted. Idk man- in the sea of over-saturated, boring, reductive, type-beat-style artists: I'd rather an artist thats extremely well-versed in good shit and TRYING be as big as they are. over + out.
@@connoryballantyne Good God I could not have said this any better myself. REALLY good stuff you pointed out dude
@@TheEndless560 are you aware that music is perpetually inspired by what came before it? Everything is an “imitation” with a new spin on it. At least be somewhat intelligent with critique or just say you don’t like it lol
Love it that your getting the 1975. They’re finally becoming a stadium band and nobody deserves it more. MH is a lyrical genius.
Love them, love this, love you. And the fact that you included the absolute tune that is "Don't Like Menthols" is really *chefs kiss*
I’m not ashamed to be a fan of these guys. I love bands, guitars, great melodies and syncopation lyrics that make you think and I also believe that frontmen should essentially be larger than life egocentric knobheads! And Matty is just about the only contemporary singer ticking those boxes!
Absolutely agree
couldn't have said it better
I’m with you on The 1975. I’ve only recently discovered them, I’m so excited by it all
I love The 1975. These guys have a great time and take us along for the ride.
I’m an older fan & have been following their train for almost 7 yrs now. Their music genre hops & I love it. Matty is THE best frontman & i can absolutely go to their shows night after night & not be bored at all ❤
Looking for Somebody (To Love) is just Phil Collins and Springsteen ala Tunnel of Love era. Just great in general, them live in concert, the sound quality is insane. George's kit sounds like you're behind the kit yourself, the bass sits perfectly in the mix. Everything is just pristine with them.
I'm literally going to see them in concert tonight and so I loved watching this hours before I go to see my favorite band! I love them so much
Have fun! Just went and it is a blast!
This tune would fit so well in the middle of a playlist with Steve Winwood, Big Country, Thomas Dolby, Dream Academy, Howard Jones, and Peter Gabriel.
I think the 1975 gets a lot of criticism from critics because their music is unashamedly poppy and in other places all over the place in terms of genres. I think critics feel like they're a pop band masquerading as a rock band and doing well, and there's more than an element of snobbery in it. Their albums are often more like mix tapes than albums. Matty himself is controversial in part because he's incredibly dry with his sense of humour and his lyrics often tow the line between beautifully self-aware and poetic, and houlier than thou political statements. I'm someone that has always gravitated to sad music as a way of wallowing in my feelings, sort of basking in my own pity. I realised over time how much music can impact your outlook for good or bad. The first time I listened to Love it if We Made it I went in a whole other direction purely because of the 1975 and started gravitating much more to uppity music. The song is the embodiment of trying to get through some very heavy times (the themes are dreadfully depressing) but the tone of the song itself is so unbelievably catchy and positive you can't help but bop along. I now love bands like the 1975 who wear shimmering happiness as a badge of honour to bring positivity to the masses, even though they might not be feeling that way internally.
Was in awe of every single detail overt and implied in their video. Such a brilliant creative mind. Became a fan right there and then. Thank you for breaking it down artistically. Could not find anyone else to "discuss" 1975 artistically with.
Missed seeing them at a bar here in the states in 2013 (one of my biggest live music regrets). Then had a ticket for an arena show in May 2020 which obviously was cancelled. Finally, FINALLY seeing them this weekend - very excited!!
Nobody does it like The 1975 - they give this generation our fix of raw, incredible talent being mainstream. A small glimpse of living in the golden age of music and it really gives me hope that originality and true talent can live again in these times! (: #GodBlessThe1975
That’s the thing about the band, their music is supposed to be a commentary on modern pop music by using out dated music genres and twisting them with Mattys lyrics. They were originally writing emo music but everyone was doing that so to stand out they created this bright vibrant sound to contrast their serious look. They basically satirize pop music by making the best pop music 😆
Crap
I'm a 50 year old, ex thrash metal drummer and I absolutely. LOVE the performance art aspect of this. And the songs aren't quite what they seem, after you dig in a bit. Trust me. They're amazing.
you just made think of Canadian artist Spookey Ruben - he puts prog thrash and bubblegum PoP on the same album! lol
@@xmasburrito that's awesome!!! Honestly though I am so addicted to the entire package that the1975 have curated. They're outspoken thrash/death metal fans too. That's why Matty said what he did about Metallica.
@@stevenrobbins7402 lol i lost interest in Metallica when they became MAINSTREAM tbh
@@xmasburrito yea. I lost interest at the black album. It had its standout tracks "Struggle within" "of wolf and man" but other than that, I was done with em.
speaking of which, be cool to see an episode on Spookey Ruben or Louis Cole or BILL WURTZ! Creative weirdo music.
This video is 100%. Seeing The 1975 this Thursday night in Independence, MO and I couldn't be more excited. Matty Healy is the quintessential post modern frontman for me personally. I love the man. He really is a genius and the music is just from the heavens. Excellent work Mr. Hawkins. Here's to hoping you dive deeper down the 1975 rabbit hole as you will find endless gold!
Went to their live show in Portland. They seriously almost sounded better live. The instrumentation was absolutely amazing sounding, matty’s voice was killer, and you could really tell they put a ton of effort into the performance. Not to mention, the set design of a house with rooms added so much to the visuals.
I love The 1975. Their music is well produced, incorporates lots of styles and is bombastic which I love. I'm a huge fan of 80s music so that influence is great. I also like the fact he acts like a proper rock star, which certainly at the time they started nobody was doing
Art rock at scale tucked away in pop songs. Tunes galore & plenty of attitude. Glorious. Tidy assessment, Justin. Keep it up!!
Justin has the best vibe on TH-cam. Like a hit of dopamine.
Well said! Great analogy or implication. It doesn't matter who Justin is speaking about, musically or otherwise, I love watching him. His facial expressions, his linguistic ones, his wardrobe and his personality are all fantastic! Basically, he's guaranteed to put a smile on my face. So, yes, he probably does hit up the dopamine in my brain. I'm SO happy that I found his channel earlier this year!
@@cindyspowart555me too! He’s a very watchable chap.
@@lindalaw5466 : Indeed! ☺
I mainly listen to punk and hardcore, but the 1975 are one of my favourite bands. If you just focus on the music, it’s clear to see how well the songs are crafted, a truly brilliant band
Thank you Justin. I’m old music lover and I absolutely love 1975!!
I’ve only recently found The 1975 and I haven’t listened to anything else since. A phenomenal band and I glad you feel the same too!
What Hawkins doesn't realize is that inside of that Gibson J-200, there is an extradimensional pocket that contains tens of thousands of missing plectrums...and socks.
Just saw the 1975 for the second time recently and was blown away! It really was something special. Go see them live. I really dig the new album. I love the band. I love Matty.
I have a fourth year medical school practical exam tomorrow morning so thanks Justin for helping me chill out a little tonight
Good luck on your exam!
@@LoveBaseballLove thank you so much!
Good luck!🍀
@@heidihall4591 thank you!!
It’s awesome seeing someone analyze their music, I don’t usually like music like this, but for some reason, some how theyre one of my favorite modern bands
With their first album, The 1975 instantly became one of my favorite bands. Nearly a decade later, every subsequent album has solidified them in that status. Their sound has evolved from a bit more "live" instruments to a bit more synth-based, and for me it has taken a sound I thought was fresh and beautifully poppy, and turned the pop factor up to 12. It just feels great to listen to their music. Absolutely love them.
You are right about the spontaneous syncopated hand claps!!! Very happy indeed!! Love your talent Justin!!!!
I've been a die-hard fan since their first album, but THIS song is now my favourite of theirs. Beyond the super bop-able synth-rock groove, I find the lyrics to be quite powerful. Matty has drawn attention to American gun culture in the past in She's American ("And I think she's got a gun, divinely decreed and custom made"). But this song comes right out with it and doesn't shy away. From start to finish, it paints a vivid picture of gun violence motivated by "incel" dogma. And I think the juxtaposition of dark lyrics and upbeat hooks makes it all the more jarring and powerful.
That happiness-simulating clapping arrangement was great fun to do along to Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting in a stadium full of Elton John fans when I saw him in Sunderland in the summer!
These boys are legends, their NA tour has been legendary so far.
the way the lyrics completely contradict the vibe of the music is so genius
Is it genius?
@@Esafc-lb2sgit is because it is satirising the whole American System- allowing guns. This song is about school shootings and how there has been so many but the government just plays along with it.
@@hanjnk Wow, what a genius idea, it must take a real genius to think of that. It's never been done before.
it’s more of a darker vibe versus a happy vibe. think juxtaposition between the way it sounds and what it’s about- this song is amazing and so is the whole album. there is reason we call them the best band in the world🥺
YES I was hoping he would catch on to the lyrics of this one like he did with Part of the Band; I feel like the credit he'd give would only increase. What incredibly harrowing song content juxtaposed against this happy synth rock jam
@@ilikecows44 absolutely. if juxtaposition was literally a song this would be it 😅 the first time i heard it i was literally torn between dancing and feeling immense sorrow. 💔
That singer looks amazing, that song sounds amazing this channel is fucking sick! Like the music lesson I can’t wait to go to. So good to be watching something on TH-cam that isn’t trying to make me furious in some way.
U cheerup my day/days. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I saw their performance in Vegas a few weeks ago. Absolutely amazing! Certainly becoming seasoned performers that know exactly what they are doing down to the calculated second.
Because of your reviewing Part of the Band, (which I was blown away by) I checked out some more. Found the videos of the Norwegian show Sklavan: Give Yourself A Try - Matty Healy on getting clean with horse therapy - Love It If We Made It.
Boy does that last song kick hard after hearing Matty so open about his addiction. Also just a fantastic performance by all.
100% camp 1975/Matty Healy if it comes down to it. They're amazing.
Matty reminds me a lot of David Byrne when he performs with his suit, dancing and doing some fun voice changes.
Was wanting you to do this one SO BAD! Thank you!
Loved this review! I wish you were my Music Teacher in school. So passionate and informed. Thanks Justin! (I'm new to 1975 and have been obsessed with their music, live performances and videos. So creative.)
I don’t know much about them but anyone who wrote and recorded “Girls” is alright by me. Perfect pop song.
Girls might be one of the most perfect pop songs ever written IMO. They've written several songs I'd consider objectively (subjectively) perfect.
Agreed. It’s a shame they stopped performing it live, but that’s the self awareness of them. It’d be weird singing “no she can’t be what you need if she’s 17” when the guys are almost twice that age by now.
I thought you were literally talking about the music from the year 1975! Here we go. Down another fabulous rabbit hole. Love it! Thanks for clueing me in once again. ❤
"I always wanna die (sometimes)" is my favourite!
i've only recently become a fan but I first heard about the 1975 during my senior year of college, when their song "Chocolate" was getting really popular. I liked some of their stuff but I didn't really give their music a proper shot until this month. their albums are really good musically and very fascinating, but I also respect their courage to question everything through their music, to talk about the things that don't get brought up much (and maybe need to be). I appreciate the depth and earnestness of their songs, and how they hide deeper, darker thoughts in upbeat guitar riffs and dance rhythms. But even as musicians alone, they are insanely and undeniable talented.
another great video 😁 i think the greatest draw of the 1975’s music is that it’s just unapologetically fun, and that the band (esp matty) encourage that fun! very excited to see them next year
Matty Healy has some pure charisma........The band is spot on!
Have loved them since I saw you do Part of the Band, I think they are a really important band, especially lyrically. they speak to modern issues / situations in a really beautiful way, in that it doesn't seem out of place...they are singing about the internet cultural divide etc but doesn't sound preachy or non-lyrical
Justin, we love your work. Thanks for your videos, always a pleasure to watch. 💙
Justin is absolutely right about that clapping pattern. It's got me all revved up just sitting here at my computer. Gonna have to try that next time my baby is fussing and see if it plucks him out of it.
Also, by the end I was as excited about this band as I had been dismissive at the start. Justin's enthusiasm is so contagious.
The 1975 restored my hopes for the future of music. Originality and nostalgia in a beautiful amalgamation. I truly believe they are the best band around.
Hey Justin, thank you for everything you do. You really help make my day a whole lot better. Cheers
Thxs again Justin for riding again
From AZ
Seriously,who wants a boring front man,that’s a great frontman as you should know being one.I really just got into them, not many guitar rocking bands out there these days.I’m happy to have discovered them.
So look forward to you videos.
Love the way you honestly analyze bands etc.
Ride On
C
You are home! Glad to see (and hear) the Gibson, again.
Sonically, The 1975 are right up there with the best live bands I’ve seen. Their soundscape is just so unique and absolute perfection the three times I’ve seen them - arena and festival gigs.
Cornation street theme tune....you sir never fail to surprise me, love it 👏👏👏 (that is my clapping along to the 75's & applauding you)
Justin this was lovely. The beret, the badinage, the hand claps/coronation street tangent.
Just lovely stuff you lovely man.
I have quite liked listening to You riff on about music, but didnt realize who You (tho so familiar looking) were till just now and it made me real happy. Loved Your music alot, and now enjoy these videos.
So glad you had that reaction! I fell in love with the band during the pandemic, and got to see them in Boston. Healy is an amazing lyricist, as well as a great showman and musical artist.
Great to see them getting the recognition they deserve, incredible band who are able to evolve and somehow get even better. Show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand what is so special about The 1975, Justin sums it up perfectly 👌
I get hand-clapping happiness just knowing there are Justin Hawkins Rides Again videos for me to watch.
I’m a new listener of theirs but I honestly haven’t heard a bad song yet. Being funny in a foreign language literally has no bad songs whatsoever and might be one of my favorite albums of all time.
🙏👋👋👋🤙 finally another individual who finally understands the concept of his musical talent..writer and performer ..well done.. division...love the band..❤❤❤
More The 1975 content!!! 🥰 Thank you, Justin. They're my favorite band & I love hearing your educated thoughts-I could talk about this band all day long. 💗
As a Talking Heads enthusiast I love The 1975. They're just brilliant, a treat for the ears.
Been waiting for this since the album came out. Great vid 👍
Your enthusiastic hand clapping sure makes me happy Justin! I dig this band, too. Thank you for adding joy to my day! 😁
Thanks Jeanne!
I'm so glad you said Phil Collins. I was thinking Genesis and Peter Gabriel etc
Just saw them for the 2nd time in years. Such a good show!!! They are the only band/artist that Id pay to see several times (without having new music) currently. I'm hoping to catch them at 1 or 2 festivals/shows next year! I didn't realize people disliked them so much (?)
I love you Justin! ❤🔥Love the channel, love these videos.
Said it on your other 1975 video and I'll say it again, that band and yours are two of my very favorites and it just makes my day to hear you give them such high praise. So awesome.
Without a doubt the best cover version of the Coronation Street theme tune I've ever heard. Bravo sir.
Love all the music I’m discovering thanks to your channel Justin! How’s the writing going? Can’t wait for the next Darkness record! 🙌🏼
The 1975 is such a great band. Keeping rock alive, IMO.
“I heard chocolate once and it was shit” was my honest opinion of the band, but I went with my best friend to see them out of sympathy..
when it got to the end of the show and they played ‘the sound’ and in the video they showed the negative comments they received.. one of which; “I heard chocolate once and it was shit”.
Never did I ever think a band could be so meta. Matty always talks about the importance of feeling “personally addressed” by art, and how video game Easter eggs deliver the same effect. For me personally, I feel the lyrics were written for me: all their best songs include lines which I can relate to more than anything else, ever.
The poppier songs they do really give me huey lewis and the news flavor.
I took my oldest to see 1975 as his first concert. He complained as teen boys are wont to do… but i had a blast :)
I can't believe I actually got your obituary reference, wasn't expecting that
Had never heard this…I love it!! Thanks Justin!!!!
1975 are a great band. I’ve seen them at Glastonbury several times, always a good set
Just saw them last night. They played maybe 1 of my top 10 favorite songs they have and it was still one of the best shows I’ve seen
Video made my day, you are such an entertaining guy thanks for all that
I got to see them at the beginning of their current tour and it really was The 1975 at their very best. An absolutely incredible experience. If you weren't a fan going in the doors, you certainly were going out.
I went in February and the whole performance was insane
This music makes me smile, so positive and good for dancing! 🙂🥳💃 And the bonus is it's gloriously presented by yourself truly. 😁
when talking about why i like the 1975 so much, i like to think about this quote that matty once said in an interview: "And all these kids at the moment are living out their lives soundtracked to The 1975 and I think it’s because...they just, they get it. They get us." i feel the same way, i feel like they get me when i listen to their lyrics - often i cant really relate to all their lyrics but even so they make me feel something and i appreciate the sincerity and self-awareness that they have in their lyrics. their discography is so diverse that you can find a song for whatever mood and moment. i think that's what pulled me into the 1975 so much
😂Hovis Horn section! 🤩Love it Justin🤪
Been waiting for this :)
I feel like their magical appeal comes from how the music is an amalgam of so many influences/references that its almost like Paul's Boutique level sampling. except instead of direct samples its the idea of it, a mimic made anew. like a quilt of beloved pop put together in such an interesting way it feels brand new but still familiar.
I’d love to see you go to their live show. I think you would really enjoy it. Especially the second half.
So my normal genre interests are in midwest emo, alternative emo, hardcore etc. I've loved the 1975 since the Sex EP. I always thought they amalgamated so much influence quite clearly, including quite evidently indie and emo. One of my favourite song is a two-step garage remix of Head.Cars.Bending on Sex, how many bands can account for such variety in their discography that actually works? They're complex and simple at the same time. Healy is an odd character, definitely an enigma and it's hard to discern what is the "bit" or "act" and what is genuinely him, but that is of course the point. He's a true frontman.
The audio is especially nice today!
