Reply to comment by seatheanswerman in Why U2 is so hated (my take) by Expensive_Ad_403

He never bothered me. They were just never my sound after 83 or so. But there was a strong punk vibe in their early days. As I said, War was a fantastic album.

I never really had much of an opinion. Some songs I liked, also the early ones mostly. A lot not. As a non fan I just assumed they sold our to commercialism and I stop listening to bands like that. However, Bono's lectures on whatever he decides is important are a problem.

Not really familiar with his activism. What does he decide is important?

There's nothing wrong with his ideals as far as I know, world peace, climate change, abject poverty. It's more his attitude as if he decided this is going to change so it will. But there's something about a really well dressed guy sporting huge rings that makes you wonder about sincerity.
