Talk:This Summer's Gonna Hurt like a Motherfucker

Stadium rock, arena rock

A few sources call this song "stadium rock", which corresponds to our article arena rock. We should relay this information to the reader.

• Inquisitr: "'This Summer’s Gonna Hurt' is a new sound for Maroon 5. It shows them experimenting with more of a pop/alternative rock or stadium rock sound."
• Popology Now: "Well, it definitely has this breezy summer sound to it that’s driven by this strong bass line and an arena sized chorus."
• Music Times: "'This Summer's Gonna Hurt' seems to usher in a different sound for Maroon 5, moving them away from their funk roots and recent pop-rock sound and into something with a major stadium rock groove."
• Fuse: "a must-shout-along cut"

Despite the fact that our discussion about arena rock ended with no consensus that it was a musical genre, I think we need to say that this song is an example of it. Binksternet (talk) 20:54, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Pinging Aria1561 and RandomChoiceForMe. Let's see what we can come up with. Binksternet (talk) 01:36, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I just don't think arena rock would belong in the infobox. I'd support calling the song an example of arena rock, however, somewhere in the article (i.e. a composition section, if we can get enough information to make one). Aria1561 (talk) 02:26, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

The infobox is not the question. You removed "arena rock" from the article text, so it's disconcerting to me that you are suggesting adding it back to the article. Binksternet (talk) 05:05, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Wait, would it be different to call the song an example of arena rock instead of just calling it an arena rock song? I might be mixed up a bit here. Aria1561 (talk) 15:01, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

The genre list has been completely deleted due to a lack of sources and before that alternative rock was deleted because "it's a serious genre" and "sounded nothing like R.E.M." Should the genre list be restored at all and if it is should "alternative rock" represent the stadium rock or simply "rock"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomChoiceForMe (talk • contribs) 16:58, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

"must-shout-along" and "arena sized chorus" supporting the genre being arena rock is reaching at best and WP:SYNTH at worst. On top of that, the reliability of Inquisitr and Popology Now is questionable. –Chase (talk / contribs) 19:16, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

The website music times still states that the song has a "major stadium Rock groove" though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomChoiceForMe (talk • contribs) 22:25, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

This is clearly not an "arena rock" song. It certainly borrows elements of arena rock, but it uses layered drum machines and heavily side-chained synths typical of electro-pop music. Not to mention the vocal production and the songwriting - which are as "pop" as it gets. To call this "an example of arena rock" would be inaccurate and misleading to readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:482:4400:94CD:4CD1:7851:59B6:4CB7 (talk) 00:14, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

MotherFucker vs. Motherfucker?

@Chasewc91: @Davey2010: Do you have sources to cite for the use of camelcase in the title? I'm not sure that this is justified. 162 etc. (talk) 02:39, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi @162 etc., I'm afraid I don't - I'm 95% sure that at the time of the back and fourth page moving there were tons of sources with the capitalised f, I wouldn't have had the page stay as is if there wasn't any evidence .... but 6 years later there's now only 146 Google News results and all seem to be for the lowercase f[1], I'll be honest I've never seen nor used the word with a capital f so IMHO it just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Anyway the video title in 2015[2] uses a lowercase f and a 2015 archive of their website[3] is all in caps so I'd say this should be moved given nothing now suggest this is correct, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 11:13, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
