angst in a can.

Remember the eighties? or hell, even the early nineties, when rock music was a hell of a lot different then it is now? the really hardcore bands were all guys with hair going half way down their backs, and the looked like they hadn't showered in years? remember that?? what about now? have you seen the new "hard core" bands?! holy crap!!! lookit linkin park (god the suck), they are all a buncha pretty boys who look like if u changed their clothes they could be in a fuckin N sync video. they all have your standard short preppy preppy hair cut, and to show that their really hard core, we'll toss in a couple tattoos and facial piercings! Okay, well the only exception i've seen really is that Andrew W.K. guy. okay, i saw this "she is beautiful" video for this guy, i think thats what its called... hes got the older image... sort of. He's got the long hair, and he looks like he hasn't bathed in weeks. but listen to the music!! AGGGHHH!!! melody!!!! WHAT IS THIS!?!?! this is not hard core rock!!! this is some dirty guy dancing around singing to music that isn't even loud at all!! its just a distorted guitar!! Okay, back to your standard crappy hard core band that u see so much of today. Okay, im speaking of linkin park, and.. umm... ah hell, i dont know their names. those other ones. ohh, limp bizkit falls in here too. Well have you watched the videos? ive figured out a few things that you MUST have to make a successful hardcore video. Shake-y Cam! nothing says hardcore like shaking the camera around in the video for no apparent reason. Angst Face! the singer always has to make a face like hes having a lot of trouble crapping while singing, to show his agnst and overall unsatisfaction with life Guys playing Guitars with bad backs! its a well known fact that guys in hardcore bands that play guitar have to always bend over as far as possible while playing the guitar to get a real close look at what string they are hitting Water! just toss in some random rain to show... ah hell i don't know what the hell for. Bad Spelling! if your REALLY hardcore, you are also illiterate. Z's go in the places of s's, and maybe toss in a backwards R, like you've been to toys r us too many times. That reminds me of another thing, people in hardcore videos cannot be happy with life. same with the songs and stuff... the lyrics i mean. theres always some wrong with the world, and the want pity. or if they don't want pity, they just want everyone to know how bad things are for them... which in the end gets them pity anyways. CRRAAAAAWWWLLLING INNNN MY SKIIIIN!!!! THESE WOUUUUNNNDDDDSS!!! THEY WILLLLL NOT HEAAAAALLLLLL!!!! FEEEEAAAAAARRR IS HOWWWWW I FAALLLLL!!!!! SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING!!!!! There's just one example of really bad lyrics c/o linkin park (god i hate them). Okay.. umm.. whatelse. Okay, on a completely irrelevant topic, well semi-relevant anyways, recently i keep seeing this video called "complicated" i think by Avril something. Can we say Hypocrisy? in the song she is constantly singing about people acting like someone they aren't. okay, for the singer lady, GO LOOK IN THE DAMN MIRROR. in this video, the girl is singing a very pop-like song, but shes dressed up all preppy punky. and then look at her head!!! she looks like your average teeny bopper teenage girl!! what the hell is this crap?!?! Okay, back to the modern hardcore music. I've noticed that most people who listen to this kind of music listen to it just cuz they dont wanna listen to pop music because the refuse to conform to the system!! Go you!!! hey, remember the last paragraph? what was the key word... oh yah, hypocrisy! You think these people would realize in their refusal to conform to the pop music, they're just conforming to a different level of pop. Pop means popular. Any kind of music video you see on TV is popular, unless its like some random request thingy, or something on the Wedge. Just because it isn't some N sync or britney spears music, it doesn't mean it isn't pop. Sure, it isn't put in the pop section down at HMV, but its popular. To me, if I go in a room, and name a band, and most of the people have heard of that band, its pop music. So if you don't want to conform, you better be some indie guy. but not indie like indie rock pete, cuz hes an indie conformist! wahahahaha! Okay, yah thats it. wait wait, i just did some research on that Avril person, her name is Avril Lavigne. on yahoo, this is the website description-- "features audio, video, and photos of the teen sensation with the skater-punk, dynamic, wild child spirit". What a load of crap! oh god, on the website it plays this song "SK8TR BOI" in the background... way to spell lady! and when u spell skater with an eight, the eight fills in for "ate", so in this case it would be "skateter boy"!! god i hate this chick. Okay, now im done.
