What was I supposed to say? Your points were idiotic. I pointed out their progressive approach to time signature changes and you said they've been doing it for hundreds of years. No shit they have, but Brand New aren't a fucking neoclassical band, they're a post-hardcore band (or at least that's what they're closest to if you have to give them a definition, though I think they're pretty hard to classify now), and post-hardcore isn't a genre known for its progressive influences, OR AT LEAST WASN'T UNTIL THIS DECADE which is why we're having this fucking argument. It's like if KC and the Sunshine Band had released a disco track full of progressive time signature changes, would you say "So fucking what? This has been done before"? I mean, it's nice that you want to take part in our discussion, but it helps to know what you're talking about, like that when Brand New start taking influence from prog rock, it fucking means something about the nature of music this decade.
Then you said that the noise rock and mathcore influence is just pouring shit over their music, and then expected me to be content with that like it meant that they weren't doing something different because two terms you have no understanding of you flippantly disregarded. Again, it means something when a post-hardcore band sound like Lightning Bolt (who are also, by the way, visionary musicians from this decade) or mathcore (a unique style that came to prominence this decade). I mean, you wouldn't know that, because you're not interested in learning anything, just in being able to bullshit your way out of admitting that you came into this discussion half-cocked by not knowing about the state of music this decade but feeling informed enough to make a judgment about it.
Also, all of those Brand New songs are from their early output, which wasn't what I was talking about. If you want to know, the song I was referencing was:
