Caylynn - in response to your earlier comment:
"Why does it seem that most of you (except for CP and GS seem to like music that is either violent, obsence (ie. full of obsensities) or full of noise? Are young people these days really that full of violence and hatred that all the music they like is full of obsenities and violence?"
Yeah, I guess.
I like some noisy, obscene music because I admire its lack of restraint in an age where we perhaps put too much emphasis on discretion. For this reason alone I have recently enjoyed pieces by Prodigy, Metallica, Nirvana, Motorhead and Ice Cube. I like Wagner for the same reason.
Generally, I admire people who have the courage and self-confidence to be gratuitously offensive, simply because I lack such courage and self-confidence myself. I'm sure many of us, if we were honest, would say the same. I'm not sure it's anything necessarily to do with 'young people'.
However, I regard Marilyn Manson as a total charlatan.
