I keep running into people (both musicians and non,) who are obsessed with ST. I listen to a very wide range of music, so its odd for me that I wouldn't like it, but the best way I can describe it is it sounds exactly how id describe AI music. Just gives me a gross feeling.

Not hating. I guess im wondering why people like it so much compared to other groups and why the hype is so big. Is it the whole secretive thing? Ghost and a thousand other groups already did that, its nothing new.

It seems like their live productions are pretty cool. But again, it really looks to be rehashed Ghost but with worse songwriting.

I think he's a talented vocalist in his style but I personally hate his voice. I am averse to the whole getting up real close on the mic and using vocal fry and grunts to convey that you have sooo much emotion.

Again, just a Lil rant, but also wanted to spur actual discussion

I'd bucket them as "A Deftones backbone with metal flourishes and pop sensibilities". That's a big mix of people, and so they can attract more fans.
Their band aesthetic / look makes them easily identifiable. It's a successful marketing tool shrug

I think your points are valid, though.

Note: I'm not a huge fan of them, but have enjoyed a few of their songs.
