Why are people scared of Radiohead? ?
I put Radiohead on the sound system my mom walks in and she said all frightened, "what is that?"
Also my I put Radiohead on my friend's iPod and she told me she never listens to them because they scare her.
Like, what the hell? I think they're lovely.
Can anyone relate?

it's too much for them to think about
they're afraid they might learn something about music that is usually discouraged
@Smells like screen name- yeah Rush and Radiohead fans alike are pretentious, but they have every right to be seeing as how they can appreciate music at its most complex and demanding. It's like being able to not only do calculus, but appreciate the whole concept of mathematics. it takes musical analysis and serious understanding to listen to bands like these and when it comes down to it some people just aren't musically intelligent or educated enough to understand it. there is a reason why prog bands like these are called the musician's music. we're just excited about showing others, like any teacher of a subject, how great music can be at its peak in potential. You know I'm right. Your pretentious music asshole, Gilbert
P.S. hope you didn't fall asleep while reading sooo many words

I honestly don't like Radiohead and not because they scare me or something. I just like 'Creep' because I like the lyrics but, let's be honest, everyone likes that song. A friend of mine loves Radiohead, Idk why, he says they're unique and special. I think they're overrated.

I don't understand people who think they're depressing. But with songs like "Climbing Up The Walls" "We Suck Young Blood"and "Kid A" I can understand why people might think they're creepy.

Radiohead, is pretty boring, slow. and im a fan of slow rock.
and are extremely overrated, maybe she thinks
"oh theyre so deep, i dont want that"
Radiohead aren't that deep, (well in my opinion they aren't) maybe thats why i doesn't scare me, but i don't have any of theyre albums or anything.
Death metal is scary-ish

They sound rather ghostly, indeed. It's their trademark. But Thom says that all he does is extend chords so that they overlap over other chords. There. Horror demystified.

Because people are scared of the innovative guitar sounds and stuff. They have never heard any guitar playing like that because nobody else knows how to. My 60 year old dad likes them though.

Don't ask if you don't want to know.
You know I'm right.

i suppose maybe its cos they have a darker sound, a bit melancholic,
it depends what you like and why you like it
also they are a bit, normal and odd looking, i think we are too used to seeing 'perfect' people so that normal actually 'scares' us
