Go to Vampirefreaks.com.

Go to the 'cults' (fanclubs) section and start reading through ICP fanclubs.

HAHA

I'm sort of stuck at this point, because I'm kinda embarrassed to keep being the Devil's Advocate supporting, of all bands, ICP...but at the same time I'd be embarrassed to disown my 15-year-old self, misguided though he may have been.  But ICP is not the worst band ever IF the listener thinks they're joking.  

If the listener thinks they're serious, and still loves them, then forget your suggestions, MyAimIsTrue.  He/she needs some serious therapy.

I tolerate Death Cab for Cutie but Postal Service just sounds great.  Sure, they're not a Beatles and 10 years from now they'll be forgotten but Postal Service's album was one of the few recent albums I could play over and over and still enjoy it.  Great stuff.

Everyone thinks MSI is trying to be offensive, but really they're just having fun, hang out with the band sometime and you'll see. I love their music, every bit of it, Jimmy's a good programmer and layers so many sounds on top of each other it keeps me interested every listen. Maybe I'm one of the few that indulge into the music and takes it seriously. I don't know.. I just have a hard time accepting that someone can dislike MSI, hah.

On to stupid bands.. lets see anal cunt, impaled northern moonforest, and ICP have already been mentioned..

WAIT A HAVE ONE!

KOMPRESSOR! It's this german guy that came to the US and is now making angry industrial music. Hilarious songs about brushing your teeth, adding numbers, and never talking to strangers are here: http://kompressormusic.com

*But everyone knows I'm a tech music fan, there are better Prog bands than Dream Theater, their classic stuff is just a bench mark, blah, blah get over it people. It's just the flip side of my hate for over-simple stuff.

Um...I like ICP because they're funny. They actually take themselves seriously. I like that.

I like Deathcab for Cutie, cos I think somebody was making fun of them.

The Ramones weren't stupid, they were great.

So is Group X.

Now then...

-Dashboard Confessional makes me giggle and go, "Oh my god, that is so stupid." My favorite response to ANY Emo song is, "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CRYING!? YOU ARE FAMOUS!!"

-Simple Plan. So...very...very stupid...*shudders*

-Cannibal Corpse. Enough said on that matter...

-GWAR. So dumb, it's funny. Which makes me giggle.

-Deicide. Every single song is the exact same. "GRABBLESHLERPHMRRRGH GOD SUCKS DIE JESUS GRRRRABANURRRGH!!" Which is basically every single metal song out there now.

-Blaze, Twizdid and all those other stupid Psychopathic Records guys. ICP is the only "haha, they think they're people, that is so cute" ones. All the other ones are, "Why are you copying them?"

-CKY. Any band that my skater friends like that much has got to be dumb.

-Evanescense. She has a nice voice, but come on. Lemonescense...emotional cleaning detergent.

I will think of more.

I was looking through my friend's soulseek files and found a band called "I Hate You When You're Pregnant".

He had four of their demos, and told me a few tracks to download off of the third one- such classic tunes as "Levitra Versus Viagra", "Hey, Hot Bitches!" and "The Most Popular Guy".

Musically, it's like really dumb-sounding synth. I don't mean that as an insult- I mean it as in it actually sounds retarded. The vocals are kinda either yelled or in mock falsetto, and you can probably guess the lyrics after seeing their name.

"Hey, Hot Bitches!" is such a stupidly hilarious song that I can't stop laughing everytime I hear it. Check soulseek for 'em.

shut up. the only time having 6 or more members was cool, was pg. 99, bad luck 13, and blue oyster cult.

slipknot can die in a plane crash for all i care. there is no excuse for their new album especially. the first album is decent. the whole getup and stage antics are what i find retarded. they need to die. twice.

YOU can die in a plane crash. YOU need to die twice. I love SlipKnot. With all my heart. And the one I have in a jar. As far as I am concerned they are the greatest thing to happen to metal of any kind. They have a distinctive sound, and for that I love them. They actually have original ideas, unlike the repetitive crap the media mass-produces now.

Thank you for the personal attack. I really fucking appreciate having my stance on music likened to just a weak attempt to rebel. Yay.

Look, I have been in Hot Topic TWICE over a 3 year period. Hot Topic blows. Their stuff is way overpriced. I prefer to buy my stuff at the thrift store because it's cheap and you find really cool stuff there.

I DON'T try to rebel. I don't really try to do anything. I just be myself! Sooner or later you're going to realise that just because I like a certain kind of music doesn't make me any less credible as a person.

The world is going to have different kinds of music. People will like said kinds of music. You, however, seem to fail to realise this. You don't have to be a complete closed-minded asshole all the time.

And yestreday I was just a little...hyped up, I guess. I'm sorry for yelling at various people and just generally being a dick.

You seem to have no problem insulting other bands, so when you start talking up really shitty bands, like The Used, My Chemical Romance, Slipknot, etc., we're going to call you on it.  Clear as fucking day.

"Shit" is not a valid musical taste.

Also, the problem with Hot Topic is not that it is expensive.  It is that it is shit.  It is crass commercialism of a set of subcultures who historically have raged against commercialism.  It is a perversion of goth, metal, rivet, punk, hardcore, indie, and so forth.  That is why it is bad, not because it is expensive.

Agreed with SP2.  I have serious issues with the whole idea of popular metal. How can angst, anger, dispair, and rage go hand in hand with popularity, money, drugs and groupies?

You can argue back and forth about the artistic and musical merits of a band forever, but its hard to deny that slipknot are fakes, who put on a show to make money. That is why i hate them.

Although, if you're going to confine yourself to just nu-metal. Slipknot are way on the top of the heap, because:

a) They are actually arguably a metal band
b) None of their nine members is Fred Durst
c) That Jordison guy actually has some talent. He drummed live for Satyricon ffs!

So, yeah. Also, their first album was actually not that bad. Incredibly experimental compared to their later stuff. There was some sort of potential there if you examine the previous  The problem is they signed to Roadrunner. You sign to Roadrunner records mid nineties, and selling out is simply compulsory. They were made to take a musical route that left most of their members superfluous (not that the extra percussionists would ever have really worked anywhere except live in a small venue anyway). and then they got so big they didn't dare change, because people like money. Joey and Corey, the only members with any arguable talent, explored a variety of side projects, which is cool (tbh, I love the Murderdolls. Anyone who has an issue with this can go get a sense of humour).

As for the whole nine members crap, well, they're basically just a high-school band who had the mis/fortune to become incredibly huge. Are you gonna be a cunt and chuck your best friends from high-school out of your band just because they contribute nothing musically? Ah, come on. To complain about Slipknots number of members posits that they are a totally serious band. Which ain't the case, people.

Also, that Wait and Bleed song is kinda catchy.

Although, if we're dissing Slipknot, which I think we are, someone should send Corey Taylor a letter informing that Slipknot /= Stonesour, even if faux-emo is big bucks now days.

Oh man, no matter how much you diss the nu-metal and industrial schlock rock* of the late nineties, look what they replaced it with! FINCH! PEOPLE! NO!

(*oh fuck I love late nineties industrial schlock rock. And I want a Dragula)

Why would you do this?  Besides being a musical masochist, of course?
