    I don’t think British bands get any extra hate due to just being British here in the states. Radiohead is pretty well regarded here.

    Super popular among many. Completely unknown by many others, other than high and dry and maybe fake plastic trees. . Considered indie and/or whiny to many others. Mostly based on age.

    “Creep” is probably their most played song on the radio here. I’d say at the very least millennials and gen-x would have a generally positive view of Radiohead. Older and younger generations might not be as familiar with the band. I can’t really think of any band being disliked primarily for being British; British cultural exports are typically viewed positively, even if they don’t become very popular. We tend to not get their worst stuff, though.

    England and the United States were at odds for a brief period following the war of independence but have since then grown to be friends and allies

    I don’t dislike Radiohead for being British, I dislike Radiohead because their music sucks.
