I get a big kick outta these ridiculously long band names, too. I wonder sometimes if the kids in these bands and the kids who love these bands have any concept of how music can be
FUN.
A younger friend of mine was talking music with me a few weeks ago and said how ashamed he was of his generation, and this comment was inspired by a band that had just tried to befriend him on MySpace. They were football and wrestling jocks from his high school who used to make fun of him for being in a band. I forget what the band's name was, but it was five-or-so words aggrandizing pain and suffering, and in their band photo, the dudes were all dressed up like surgeons in scrubs with surgical masks over their faces which had black-taped X's across their mouths. The dudes had surgical tools in hand as they posed next to some wannabe Suicide Girl who was lying on the operating table.
The look on their faces was totally serious, too. It's as if they were completely unaware that it looked so ridiculous.
It's really hilarious how these bands and their fans are so wrapped up in being "intense" that they are so unconscious of how ridiculous they are.
Aside from that, I also get a kick outta hating on the Exploited.
But really, I don't like to obsess much about music I don't like. There's too much music to love, and not enough time to hear it all.
