.:: WARNING: The following rant WILL have offensive material regarding a music genre and a very popular band. If you have troubles with listening to others rant about what may be your favourite genre of music, STOP NOW. Turn around and don't look back. This is a RANT, and MY opinion on MUSIC. Not the people who listen to it, but the music itself. If you're just gonna say "STFU MAH MUZIK IS BETAR DAN URS", save yourself the breath and verbal beatdowns you will surely get and GTFO.
Thank you::.
Music is all about classification.
To talk about a band, most people stick it into a main umbrella genre, then at least 3 other subgenres. It's a fact of life, and a way to simplify all the types of music there is. But there is always a few types of music (generally a wide genre) that just irk me. And this rant will focus on one kind in particular, and will pinpoint and pick on one of the genres bands.
GOTH METAL. You know the kind. Screaming poetry that any 13-year-old with a handy dictionary could write up. Take, for example, the popular band Cradle of Filth. Many, many people like CoF and their lead singer Dani Filth. But here is my question:
Why?
Of all the bands you could pick out of this very large music genre, you pick CoF. Why am I picking on this band? Here, why don't I list some handy reasons...
For starters, Dani Filth's voice makes my ears bleed. He sounds like he either got A.) kicked in the balls (when he's screaming), or B.) is trying to speak so lowly it sounds like his voice box is crawling into his stomach (his 'bad-ass' growl). It's not even the voice that's so horrible; I can handle it. The lyrics make me wince as well. Most people, when they look at CoF's lyrics, they think: Hey! The lyrics are long, they have big words, and talk about pretty pictures. They're HARD FUCKING CORE. This is what I think: Hey! The lyrics drag on forever and ramble on about the same fucking thing, and it sounds like Filth sat with a thesaurus while he was writing them and picked the biggest fucking words he could find to replace commonplace and terribly sensible ones! I can't help but believe the sole goal of CoF's songs are to confuse people and send them rushing for their dictionaries, thusly making them look 'intelligent'.
AKA, they're pros at giving their own egos hard-ons.
It sounds like he's trying to be Shakespeare, but it's a Shakespeare after one binge gone horribly wrong. Their random use of big words makes it seem like they're compensating for something (hint: small dicks and even smaller brains).Dani Filth's band is so horribly stereotypical of 'goth' that it makes me want to scream and beat him like a ginger step-child with a creativity stick. I have nothing against bands with makeup (KISS is one of my favourites), but when it's on the skin of CoF's crew, I really want to shove their grimy faces into a bath. It annoys me so much that they'd put on that shit and think they look cool 'cos they're so omg hxc & goth.
So, in conclusion, I hate Cradle of Filth and bands like them, and think Dani Filth needs to see the light and hug a fucking carebear. Life's not as dark as you make it seem.
But we all know you're striving for:
Jackass.
This has been a presentation brought to you by ME, the Bladderina. Have a good fucking day.
