    Weird Al is a talentless hack who just makes lame jokes using other people’s work. Literally doesn’t make any thing orginal himself. There’s some who are worthy of being the modern day mozart and it’s sure as shit ain’t weird Al.

    Alternative suggestions

    Stevie Wonder

    David Bowie

    Thom Yorke

    Kendrick Lamar

    Björk

    Surfan Stevens

    Damon Alburn

    Michael Gira

    Trent Reznor

    Dave Gilmour

    David Bryne

    And Andre 3000

      I love it when my tags are vindicated. Here I had you tagged as ‘tasteless asshat’, and I clearly couldn’t have been more right.

      Literally doesn’t make any thing original himself.

      Apart from all his original lyrics and musical arrangements, I guess this is true if you, y’know, ignore all the other original music he releases.

      You couldn’t scroll past this meme without letting us know your music preferences, it must have been hard trying to resist the urge.

      I wouldn’t say Weird AL is a talentless hack but you are right, he plays other people’s music and not known for anything he’s written. It’s not fair to compare him to a composer. Weird Al is more like a member of the orchestra.
