It's rant time! Again!

I'm going to line up all the people in the world who listen to and support the band Say Anything and shoot them all in their fucking heads. Execution style. People who listen to pseudo-intellectual bullshit like this are the reason pop music is so deep in the shitter. And why MTV still exists. And why people like my boyfriend and good friend John (who are musical GENIUSES) put their all into making exceptional music and get almost nothing in return. Thanks, you talentless pieces of shit, for taking fame and fortune away from the people who actually deserve it.

I've never wished a band would die in an airplane accident more. Except, ya know, Avril Lavigne.

Take this one song (and I have to hear it almost every day, thanks to a very special co-worker). Dude is bitching about social politics and ragging on people sitting around "pon-TIF-icating" (QUICK! EXAGGERATE YOUR ENUNCIATION IN A CONDESCENDING MANNER!!!) on things they've read about in trendy books and magazines and not being able to further elaborate on them because they know only the original author's views on the matter. And they scoff when they see "squares", so dude tells them how they're the same as all the people who used to give them shit in high school. Well, if you hadn't noticed, most of the ANGSTY TEENAGERS who listen to your music don't fucking understand the unconventional terms you use (BUT PRETEND THEY DO!) and scoff at everyone, asshole. And it's apparent that you've stuffed these terms into your idiotic lyrics in an extremely desperate manner. Your "neener-neener" approach is annoying and your 'brilliant' song is an excerise in futility.

OOOO! Then! Go on to a completely different 'heartfelt' bullshit tangent about your car and your guitar and how you'll rest when you're dead (where the fuck did that come from?!?!)! OMG! GENIUS! I are teh smrt 'cause I listen to Say Anything!

Formula for a hit rock band: Make damn sure you can't sing to save your life and have no rhythm and can effectively play like three chords on your guitar. Write a shit song. Throw in some big words that none of your fanbase will understand, but will quote regularly to look smart and 'edgy'. Good job. Here's a record deal.
