WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN HERE
Lately I've been seeing a lot of memes shared around these Facebook pages moaning about how crap Red Hot Chili Peppers are, with one of the most popular memes being shared being this one: As a massive funk and punk fan, Red Hot Chili Peppers did their damn best to combine the two genres into...

This is far more egregious than any of their SJW or left wing hate group nonsense.
I know opinions and such... but... this overall tendency to automatically pretentiously and nostalgically hate on newer material from older bands goes way too far sometimes.
RHCP is a rare band that to me has only gotten better with age. Sum 41 is the other. Screaming Bloody Murder (2011) is their best album. Best RCHP is By the Way, long after the early shit that topic is talking about. I don't really like anything pre-BSSM, and even that and One Hot Minute I don't think are that great. And I did grow up with those, as I'm well into my 30s.
Californication was the start of their true greatness, and the last two albums have been really damn good even without Frusciante, even if they don't quite reach By The Way or Stadium Arcadium. Californication and on I can listen to fucking cover to cover in all cases with no skips and it's all incredible, with the singles often being far from the strongest songs on the records.
1. By the Way
2. Stadium Arcadium
3. Californication
4. The Getaway
5. I'm With You
6. Blood Sugar Sex Magik
7. Everything else is decent with a few standouts and I'll listen to it, but not as good as everything above.
In terms of songs I'd need a lot more time to think about it, but:
1. Wet Sand (stadium)
2. On Mercury (btw)
3. Minor Thing (btw)
5. Universally Speaking (btw)
6. We Turn Red (getaway)
FIGHT ME.
