you like MUSE RADIOHEAD THE BEATLES TOOL LIT R.A.T.M BLINK 182 KORN THE OFFSPRING BLUR TRAVIS ALANIS MORISSETTE (so do i) and are claiming that they have meaningfull lyrics? blink 182 for one has no lyrics whatsoever, but theyre still cool but i also like leonard cohen, cat stevens, and the guy who sung american pie, not madonna, which do have good lyrics (i hate madonna sooo much, purely cos everyone thinks she wrote american pie)
stop feeeling all righteous. 10 years ago when i was 12 i felt the exact same way as you do now. in my case i thought metal is it and everything else is crap. since that time my perception of music has been turned upside down so many times ... i can no longer make any generalizations. i can only tell you if something is crap on an artist-by-artist basis, no categories.
