I agree with Westside7th. Most people don't

care about the lyrics. I listen to music for the rythmn. I don't care what they are

talking about. The song could be about home decorating and I wouldn't even

know it.

[sfmm_freak]

I dont think you can say that 'most people dont

care about lyrics.'Have you surveyed people to see, i doubt you have.

[coastergeekrtc]

I just know that a lot of people I know at my school

don't care about the lyrics. So from this knowledge I said that most people

don't care about the lyrics. I think it is you that has a stick up the

@$$!

Jeeze you guys are funny.


Westside: Why does it matter? If it bugs you that much, than you are taking a site

for building toys too seriously.

Sfmm_freek: Right or not, just calm down

dude. When you go off, people disregard your opinions.

Coastergeek: Your

wrong. Kids listen to music, without care of the lyrics (a...fair...amount of teens do

too). But people select their whole genre of music based on the lyrics. People dress

and act how their music's lyrics tell them. People recite their lyrics, for their own

comfort. Lol...nowadays, people vote the way their lyrics tell them too. Hell, people

even shoot up schools, with reinforcement from their lyrics.

And for the

topics sake: I was listening to the Suicide Machines.

Just because people posting lyrics bugs me doesn't

mean I am taking anything seriously. I just stated that it bugs me and I don't

understand why people do it because I don't know many people who would read

them. I am not saying that people don't care about lyrics, I just don't think

people care to read other people's lyrics when posted. I do listen to the lyrics of

songs but that is not what my posts were regarding.
For people to dress and

chose how to live their lives over music lyrics is pathetic. If someone can't

chose how to live their own life and have to resort to lyrics some band wrote to figure

out what to wear, that is pathetic. I doubt people vote the way music tells them since

most people who are up to date with all the latest music (teenagers) are the age group

of people least likely to go and vote.

I disagree, if it's

on the internet teens are the age group most likely to vote.

EDIT:Btw lets get back on topic(I forgot what topic I'm posting in)

I'm listening to I bought the shoes by Dierks Bentley

[coasterfreak11]

Eww...country! Haha! I don't like

country anymore. Used to but no thanks!

Breaking the

Habit by linkin park.

[Dakanektr]

GUYS WTH IS

WITH THIS! THIS IS MUSIC NOT HARDBALL!
anything punk

[gforce]

I'm listening to Redneck Girl by The Bellamy

Brothers

A lot more people do it than you

think...lol. If you see a guy walking down the street, and he is all punked out, then

chances are, he was influenced by his music. Same thing for any dude that dresses

like some gangsta/thug.

Obviously things are different

on your side of the Rockies, but here, soooo many people are influenced politically

through music. Here, Punkers are going from the town rascals to the community

patriots. Everywhere you here it--Dave Mathews, the Dixie chicks, the beastie boys,

green day, and a crap load of other people too. The artists realize that their biggest

group of listeners are teenagers, and they want to get it through the teens heads to

vote when they can.

But obviously in the lick of artists that you have

presented in the thread, you show no immediate sign of any of this.

[sfmm_freak]

Im listening to:
Artist: The Distillers(Brodie is

HOTT)
Album: Sing Sing Death House
Track: Sick Of It All/Young

Girl(both great songs)

Previously:
Artist: Finch
Album:What it is

to Burn
Track:What it is to Burn/Awake(2 of the greatests songs evar)


EDIT: you are completly correct jmrtc, music is probably one of the largest

influence on people, especially teenagers. Goths, Emokids, Psycobillies, to add a few

more to the evergrowing list.

To add onto the list of bands that deliver

politically influential tracks: NOFX, every artist on the Rock Against Bush album(vol.

1&2), Incubus, and Fabulous Disaster.

[gravitiatic]

Sparta
Album: Porcelain
Song: While

Oceana Sleeps

Great album, from start to finish...

[Tyrant]

Alter Bridge - Open your eyes

-Tyrant

[ChEtCoAsTa]

Modest Mouse- Trailer Trash

[Adam_Deux]

Artist:My Chemical Romance
Song:Helena
Album:Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

BTW, The Mars Volta is the

most insane 'phatty-phat' band ever. Their music is like making love on a

beach while the waves lap at your feet. And there are no crabs to do bad things.

Well I'm only playing with that beach thing, but TMV is awesome.

Check my screenname for AOL, xvINERTIATICESP which happens to be one of

their songs off of DitC.

[Sum41914]

She Will Be loved- Maroon 5

[Adam_Deux]

Coheed and Cambria-Junesong Provision

[sfmm_freak]

OMW! FINALLY! another Mars Volta

fan!

My email is fragmentedsobriquet@gmail.com if it were not for

televators, i wouldnt have thought of fragmented sobriquet.

I have to agree

with your beach thingem, but i think listening to The Mars Volta is like riding a roller

coaster naked!



Anyways, im done with my obcessive

ways... im listening to:
The Mars Volta
Deloused in the Comatorium
Roulette Dares

[coastergeekrtc]

I feel that the people that are influenced by music

are a low percentage. If you look at a school you only see spots of peole that dress to

their music. About 70% of people at school are average and don't dress to their

music. Now a lot of people dress to what celebrities, including music artists, wear.

As to the song I am listening to is all songs by Staind.
