Extreme narrator voice: Read the following tongue firmly planted in cheek.
I hate the band U2.
I can’t really explain why.
I know they are very talented. I know they are innovative. I know they have played a huge part in rock ‘n’ roll history. I know many of the bands I love were inspired by their music. I’ve actively tried to make myself like them. I once spent two weeks forcing myself to listen to The Joshua Tree but hated every second of it.
It’s weird because I can see how absolutely unoffensive their music is, but it creates so much hatred deep in my bone marrow that my jaw clinches and I grind my teeth whenever I hear any of their songs.
