Old post! Outstanding! I love being late for the party.
Depressive Rock.
Every song seems to follow a preset path of “me, me, me” followed by instrumentals from an entire orchestra followed by chorus from some church choir group followed by “moan moan moan” more of the same from the orchestra, more of the same from the church choir group, and when they decide to get – God forbid – <shock horror> adventurous, they try bunging in all of the above at the same time.
People enjoy this, but I have no idea why.
Whereas, e.g. Nickelback would sing songs about how it sucks that some poor wench they care about is suffering..Evanescence is the collective wench that is suffering and actually bemoans their existence whilst going about it.
Such happy-happy, joy-joy tunes!
