Yeah I see your point on that one. Sometimes it grates a bit.Quote:

I really don't focus on lyrics, rather... how they sound in synergy with the music is what I judge.
Wow, I hate Linkin Park, Hinder, Green Day, Nickelback, AND Flyleaf.
Green Day is the only of those artists that's any good, and they're still kind of overrated.
I didn't make the thread to talk about whether or not you all like certain bands, I wanted to talk about songs that you enjoyed even though you didn't like the lyrics :(
I listen to a lot of pop music, so definitely lyrics that are terrible. I go to people like Amanda Palmer or Regina Spektor or something if I wanna put on headphones and hear nice jibba jabba. I listen to If U Seek Amy or Umbrella if I want something catchy yet completely retarded.
Ugh, I hate all bands that make songs like that. Like "let's fight the system, rise up". As if they'd be leading the charge. I'm sure they're pretty happy with how they system has worked for them, they'd be papping their pants if there was a mass uprising.Quote:

I personally doubt it, mostly because there's a long history of social protest in punk rock (hell, rock in general), which Green Day, despite their obvious influence from popular music as well, seem to have been quite sincerely influenced by.
