Day 12: A Song from a Band You Hate

Hey guys!

Thanks to my six [plus an extra Mark] followers! I'm really excited that people have actually been reading this! It's great to know that I'm not just talking to myself. [That happens enough without me blogging to myself.] Anyway, today is Day 12: A Song from a Band You Hate. I had a lot of trouble with this post actually. I had a hard time coming up with a band that I dislike strongly enough to qualify them as a "band I hate." [Or narrowing it down to one...] But I settled on...

"We Are The One" by Anti-Flag. I have some serious issues with unfounded, unoriginal political statements especially by punk bands who don't know up from down. These are the lyrics, oh so original and not in any way poorly written:

"It's time to make a move, 
Change the times or they'll change you. 
False promises of more. 
Check that shit at the door. 
We're the ones we've been waiting for. 
We are the one...United under none. 
We are the one...The one to carry on. 
Warfare is everywhere. 
Poisoned land, water, air. 
This routine is long old. 
It's time to break that mold. 
We'll break it up, then we'll break out. 
Withstand the change. 
Tear it down rebuild again. 
Evolve with vision. 
This year's eve, we will breathe fury. 
I will scale the city walls."


Bands that go for the I'm-entirely-original-and-don't-at-all-mold-to-the-standards-of-society-but-coincidentally-mold-to-the-standards-of-the-I-refuse-to-stand-for-anything-that-anyone-else-does-because-that-would-be-pathetic band stereotype really piss me off. Especially when that stereotypical band sounds like everyone else and has a singer who can't sing. But I'm not bitter.


Here's to extensively-hyphenated-phrases, ranting about bands that try too hard to be different, and followers. [ :) ]
