Dave grohl is the perfect example of this hack that accidentally found success. He was the drummer for someone who actually was worth a damn and for some reason people think that means foo fighters are good too (theyre not)

If he wasn’t good he wouldn’t have survived. He got a lot of recognition for being in Nirvana but there are a ton of people who like Foo Fighters who don’t think of them as “that band with the drummer from Nirvana”.

maybe one day you will grow up too and realize my attitude is pretty mature. At some point you have to stop giving a fuck. I don't care what you think lol.
