A lot of people have been pissing me off lately over music. I was with a girl and I aksed her what kind of music she likes. She responded by saying that she liked all kinds of music. I asked me what kind of jazz fusion she listens to. she then replied that he didnt know any jazz fusion bands. Well shit, if you are going to go around saying you liek all kinds of music, you damn well better like all kinds of music.
I got into a discussion last week about which bands were better. Eventually we got to comparing Tool and Linkin Park. I pointed out that linkin park lyrics are completely meaningless and generic and I find their music boring to listen to. The people gave absolutely no reason that linking park was better and would just state that tool sucks. That really pissed me off.
I hate when people say that they love "all music," because, in actuality, they only like one or two genres, but a lot of bands from them. It's so misleading and annoying.
But saying that you find Linkin Park's music "boring to listen to" doesn't make them a "worse" band than Tool. And saying that their lyrics are meaningless doesn't really mean much, although you could probably get away with saying that all of their lyrics follow the same formula based on teen angst. Which objectively sucks. It's a fact!
Linkin Park...ha. They've got to be mind-30s by now surely? There comes a time when you just have to stop singing about the 'problems' you had when you hit puberty. Especially when those problems are living 'without a sense of self confidence'.
