I think, at least for me, that they keep changing their sound every release of new album to the point that they, and even the fans, don’t know how to identify the band exactly. No consistency at all. I think they are trying to steer clear from being labelled as “nu metal” I also feel that the band purposely trying to be small or “indie” or whatever reason. Maybe they aren’t comfortable with fame, etc. It doesn’t help that Brandon’s voice is getting worse (let’s just be honest. It’s getting bad) and the rest of the band is trying to play around it.

My Angus please steak.

Anyone remember when she started dating Spike Jonze, and dedicated Maps to him, and the crowd at Madison Square Garden booed the holy hell out of Karen 😂🤣It’s a great song, but once everyone knows who it was originally written for, it comes off as so bizarrely insincere to both Angus and Spike, to do that deduction. Still love the band, just an oddly poor judgement call on the part of Karen.

My Angus, please stay! I got to watch the music video with my young daughter tonight and show her a piece of my world. It's a magical feeling and I'm thankful for this song

for me that song gives me an energy to be excited and happy like keep going for the journey of life😖🍓💥 One of my favourite nowwww

I thought it was because they were both on tour and reading maps trying to figure out when and where they could see each other. Wait, they don't love you like I love you.

Huh? Nu metal fans wanted them to remain the same. So they disowned them. Then they switched bassist and fans assumed they would judge incubus by their radio songs and not listen to their albums. Most of all. Incubus decided early on they dgaf about the popular vote. The largest reason they never maintained elite status is because fans wanted to the same record over and over. If any other rock band made some of their records they would way more well received. It is a really messy fan perception issue. But they sell out arenas still with actual fans of their music. They probably have the most loyal fan base I know of as far as touring and record releases. They just got ride of all their fare weather fans. What made you make this clip? Just curious.

I certainly wouldn't point to the Sony dispute as the catalyst for their decline in popularity. I would argue that, more than anything else, it was the natural arch that so many popular bands follow. The bands that actually make it big do eventually peak, and music fans more or less move on over time. Very few bands walk away at their peak. It's the same reason movies have sequels until the decline of popularity dictates that they stop. Now, if we're going to single out specific causes outside of the normal evolution, the most obvious would be the Dirk Lance/Ben Kenney swap (which happened at the same time as the Sony dispute). Their sound changed quite a bit after that. It started moving away from what earlier fans loved, and it didn't generate enough new fans to backfill the loss. While composition became even more technical (which I think is awesome), that's not what compels a fan to buy CDs. And honestly, I think they were probably ok with that. I always got the sense that once they got their due financially, they were content to just create art the way they wanted to. As a side note, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the other clear problem at the time. Incubus was at it's peak around the same time music piracy was peaking. We used album sales as a primary way to measure popularity back then, and people simply didn't have to buy CDs like they did before. And this was before you could easily track the number of downloads on platforms like Spotify.

The choruses are quite complex instrumentally. Only the verses are simple.

You told us nothing

No significaba Mejores Amigos Por Siempre? :(

Because he was in the military and was leaving across seas

and you know what, we miss you guys so much

Tiktok maybe chaotic but it has its good side. The current kids can have a chance to go back and listen real music through these viral videos

Kid named angus: i don't exist bro

This really gives absolutely nothing to the viewer. Click bait much?

Honestly being successful musicians touring the world does take its toll on people especially with time and relationships. The band disbanded because most of the main members were starting families or wanted to take a bit of a break. Theres nothing wrong with that it also lets you find your creativity again.

This was one of my favorite tiny desk concerts for a long time

I don't remember this band. Interesting piece though.

Dirk Lance was the heart and soul of the band and they just weren't the same after he left (post morning view/pre crow left of murder) Fungus, Science, Make Yourself and Morning View are still great records but lost their way after the bass stopped "Bassing"

No excuse for the audio quality on this short

Woww come to my home state Wisconsin we can all go crazy together 😂 jk. Wish I could spend a winter in a cabin to heal and make art too. Sounds amazing.

Best band ever ❤

I love this song & just discovered it & this band today

Reminds me of when I sang this to my daughter's Father. We had just met and nobody ever made me feel the way he did, however after 12 years still couldn't make it work. "Pack up, but don't stray. My kinds your kind, i'll stay the same!" He is homeless now. This song was playing when I took my girl to visit her Dad. My eyes tearing up having the memory I have of us and this song. The whole album is good.

This song came out in 2009 and I was 22 when it came out 😅🤷‍♀️

yeaaahhhh!!! bloc party!!!! wooooo!!!!! yeaahhh!!!! i love bloc party!!!!!

like duh. make a video that gives actual info no one knows

Dam I missed part 1😢

Loved Silent Alarm.

I was just thinking about them the other day. They really just vanished. I remember when Light Grenades came out, haven't heard from them since.

This is my favorite band

extremely gifted..handful of fellas. they've absolutely did some of the most incredible and..important/special/magical/beautiful songs in their catalog, And spiritually touching/exhausting/saving/building/destroying/healing/enchanting/liberating live gig in the history of live music. so don't fuggin sleep on my Siggaz, bishes.

I dedicated this song to my ex when we were still together. This is so sad bc it fits so good into the caothic relationshio we had.

I swear I live in the Matrix. Just discussing Incubus with Wifey and this came up. Incubus and Faith No More: Two incredibly talented bands with exceptional songwriting and musicianship that never fully fit into any one genre. Faith No More stood out by blending rock, metal, funk, and even jazz, creating a genre-defying sound that was hard to categorize. Incubus, on the other hand, blended alternative rock with elements of funk, jazz, and electronic influences, particularly in their earlier albums. As their music evolved, both bands became more experimental, which led to a decline in mainstream attention and record sales, although their dedicated fanbases remained strong. Faith No More faded after the '90s and later reunited in the 2010s, while Incubus continued but never quite reached the same commercial peaks they had in the early 2000s. Their refusal to conform to one specific genre is part of what makes them so special, but it may also explain why they're not as widely discussed today. Nevertheless, their influence and talent are undeniable and deserve more recognition. Anyways, great topic. Great band(s)!!!

Probably has duel meanings like these people like to do... MAPS is also all acronym for minor attracted person. Yuck

I forgot about them. Not a fan of Drive really. I really dig Redefine by them. Did back then too. I just checked it now.

Thanks for this little tid bit .❤

Why did you take that whole long ass time to tell us what you said in the final 3 seconds?

I think they were very talented. I saw them in about 1997 at a small club. I thought they sounded like Rage Against the Machine. Perhaps they try to make too many middle of the road pop songs. I think they were a good band but pretty mediocre as far as visionaries or really good songs goes, I had some girl that wanted to have sex with me one time to a really slow incubus song. I think that kind of sums it up they probably were told to do their label and they did it. They were not like a Radiohead, for instance that had a very clear distinct artistic vision. so in the end, I think they got lucky to be as popular as they were which is quite popular. They are all millionaires. What do you thin more?

Dude Karen looked like a thinner version of my high school crust especially in the music video

After morning view, they lost their identity. Each album after morning view had one or two good songs but it wasn't enough and mainstream people lost interest, leaving only die hard fans

SCIENCE, Make Yourself, and Morning View are all pretty damn good. However, I think they started becoming generic with A Crow Left of the Murder.

Have you been there in 2001? They were beyond huge. I don’t know from what angle you experienced the band but they were definitely popular. I also think that the hiatus where they stopped for years.changed manager (who push them into a lot of work) and the lackluster INNW and subsequent low quality work may have hurt a bit.

I agree with pretty much everything you have said. Incubus should have been a main stay in the music industry but they almost got shoved aside out of nowhere.

She's have amazing voice ...like her❤

Amazing voice

I can not focus on what you're saying with the absolute banger playing in the background. Seriously. I watches this too many time and could feel my focus trying to split in the middle of my forehead.

It's her mother's poetry

And the meme come from nowhere 😭
