Red Hot Chilli Peppers
they have two modes: dumb, frat party, funkless funk and dumb, narcissistic self-pity (i.e., whining while showing off their ‘pack’).
Arctic Monkeys
I'm mystified by their popularity. At least I can understand why Oasis were popular (big choruses, predictable songs, charismatic leadsinger). AM's songs don't seem to have any melodies or any dynamics, they stay on the same dirgeful, dull note all of the time. It’s… boring. And their lyrics are the same observations on small town life which The Jam, The Smiths, and Pulp (and everyone who has ever lived in a small town, ever) have made to the point of tedium.
