Holy shit, listening to this, and the lyrics are like some shit an edgy thirteen year old wrote, it's like they had no self-awareness.

What are some other highly regarded albums with just awful lyrics?

On the second half now.

still edgy as all hell.

>some shit an edgy thirteen year old wrote,
it probably seems that way to someone who sits on their ass visiting websites like Sup Forums. if you don't get it you are probably exactly the kind of apathetic consumer this music is critical of. It's easy to sit around and congratulate yourself on your opinions while being a worthless self satisfied cunt.

>not realizing punk is supposed to be edgy
Pussy

yeah, but shit like this

>Supposed to act my age
>Supposed to act mature
>I've got better things to do
>Than listen to you
>I'm supposed to keep it together
>I'm supposed to keep my cool
>I might be a big baby
>But I'll scream in your ear
>Till I find out Just what it is
>I am doing here.

is just super lame, especially with his delivery.

>you just don't get it
nice argument laddo.

>Super lame

That's not even that edgy, sounds like you were too young to experience all the scenefags

...

Altrights are pussies as well

>I'll respond with a witty image of a stereotypical alt rightist! That'll show them!
Please leave

It's pretty obvious that Refused don't have english as their first language in the Shape of Punk to Come.

I agree that's why Germs and Minutemen were the best from the scene.

If you don't like My War your opinion is incorrect

desu the production on it seemed kind of off to me.

You came in me! (He came in you?!)
What you think I was gonna do?
That’s why I'm fucking you

Oh, my brothers and oh, my other comrades
Let's leave this place directly
And go where the females congregate
Perhaps they'll let us fuck them
And on the way, we'll have adventure

Some of us are tired
Where we are is copasetic
Fuck that, let's go
We can always eat along the way
Suddenly, we find ourselves surrounded by a group of strangers
And we resolve to fight them although we are outnumbered
Oh, my brothers
Oh, my other comrades
Terrific how we fight them

I think it's the band that's really more highly regarded than the album.

The album's good too

well what the fuck do you expect, moron?

shit was literally recorded in the early 80's by a hardcore punk band that didn't give a shit about overall quality.

That's an awful example of what you're saying though. The lyrics are all about losing your shit and how you end up reacting in off ways as a result, which is a central theme of the album (considering, you know, it's called MY WAR as in the war you have with your own worst aspects which are supposed to be all levels of childish or disgusting.)

it's supposed to be edgy op. the whole foundation of punk is unadulterated, immature, bone-headed rage. also that is a damn near perfect album

Turn on the Bright Lights has some really bad lyrics

>The subway is a porno
>You're hair is so pretty and red, baby, baby you're really the best
>Her stories are boring and stuff, she's always calling my bluff
>We have two hundred couches where you can sleep tonight

>the whole foundation of punk is unadulterated, immature, bone-headed rage.
Suicide and Television came before Ramones and Sex Pistols you retard.

Ive brought this up before and was just told "i dont understand punk " when really there is a lot of punk out there with good lyrics and these are just cringeworthy. If a pop punk band had lyrics like this everyone would agree but since its punk its allowed to be bad? I mean its a good album but people have got to stop making excuses for objectively bad things

I think due to how personal/political punk can be, a lot of it is love it or hate it. We're probably more inclined to like punk that was politics we agree with, or angsty feelings we've experienced.

i said punk, not proto-punk you retard. those bands influenced various aspects of punk music, but the actual punk counter-cultural movement happened as an angry response to the commercialization of rock music (and other shitty aspects of popular culture).

Which was started with the everyone watching Suicide and Television play at CBGB.

they influenced the music, not the ideology.

I'm pretty sure the lyrics are self aware, the point of the album is that it's rollins in his primal state after several years of touring with black flag and filled with rage, to get to how pure his rage is, he didn't spend a lot of time coming up with amazing lyrics he just wrote his emotions. For me it's acceptable, because unlike a 13 year old trying to be edgy, henry rollins and once a week and showered like once every two weeks, slept on the floors of too many houses, was practically homeless unless you count living in a shed and was constantly picked on by cops, and would have to fight at shows. Henry Rollins IS the edgelord, he isn't trying to portray one.

>implying suicide starting a fucking riot didn't influence the ideology

if you want his good lyrics that try harder, I recommend listening to Rollins Band, more poetic and everything, but I prefer this craft of lyrics to the millionth metal lead singer screaming/roaring "FUCKING CUM IN THE FUCK SCUM BURY MY GRAVE" or whatever the fuck topics have been sung about before, but my war's lyrics are about his psyche, man, and the songs have some unique concepts to him (forever time, swinging man).

anything by New Order

Every hip hop album ever.

okay but all im saying is that suicide alone was not single-handedly responsible for the creation of punk music. neither was television. sure they were influential, but punk music happened because of external cultural circumstances of the time. it was built around being angry and rejecting mainstream culture. i can't believe you're trying to argue this

this

shut up domesticated nu-male

That's all you take away from an influential album? The lyrics?

Well yeah, isn't a lot of punk focused on the lyrics?

Sometimes I think discussions on Sup Forums would be completely unchanged if we all just read lyric sheets rather than listening to albums.

Yeah, and Suicide and Television were among the first bands of that movement.

I mean the album is good, critically acclaimed, I love the instrumentals, but damn...the fucking lyrics are just MUH DICK BIX NOOD MUHFUGGUH

When I got older, the edgy 13-year-old never really went away, just kind of receded but he's still there, and I get the impression that's true for most people. So when I hear you talking shit about something good, because it's for edgy 13 year olds, all I hear is you refusing to acknowledge how edgy you once were, and still are deep inside.

Give in to the edge OP. That's what Henry and Greg would want.

okay

edgy as fuck but goddamn this is sum gud shit

...

wew, even the album cover is edgy as shit.

The syntax of their lyrics is kinda odd but I don't remember anything being that difficult to follow

it's
fucking
cute
what
you
shitty
losers
listen
to

i love marilyn manson and i agree that album is particular is edgy. but then again what was shocking in 2000 isnt the same now i guess

mate i know you JUST said you dont like hearing this but you dont get it

go to a mosh pit sometime, lose your fucking mind, then listen to it again

Can someone explain to me how you can write a song about losing your shit and not make it sound edgy? It seems like every song that goes for some deep introspective shit is always somewhat cringy

edgy is a buzzword used by kids who dont understand punk is all about being "edgy"

its music made to make you angry and angsty because being angry and angsty is the base for the movement and it feels good to lose yourself

I read in an interview that those lyrics were improvised by Rollins for the most part so it's a pretty unfair example

>It seems like every song that goes for some deep introspective shit is always somewhat cringy
Really it's because they put too much thought into it. "deep introspective shit" is usually just basic human feelings on a somewhat larger scale, but writers sometimes don't realize this and end up sounding tryhard as shit.

It's Henry Rollins, he's been an edgy 13 year old for like 40 years now.
