Things I Fucking Hate

Maybe I'm becoming a crotchity old man before my time, but I can't stand this song by this band.



The band is The Hollywood Undead and the song is "Everywhere I Go." I had the pleasure of hearing this song for the firs time on KROQ on Friday night on the way to a friends house. I instantly hated it and the fact it was on the Furious Five at 9 made me hate KROQ and Nicole Alvarez even more (I CAN'T STAND THAT BITCH (yes, all caps)). Then, I heard it on the way home, first song when I got in the car. Then, a number of other times over the weekend.

Fuck this song, and fuck KROQ. They're making KLSX killer AMP Radio a viable option. What was edgy and different and goofy nine or ten years ago is just a tired retread. It feels like a bad version of Eminem. These guys are stuck in a hipster vortex, when people do lame things because it's funny in an ironic way, like going to an ugly sweater Christmas party. Then, it becomes and obsession, find the ugliest clothes, but not because it's ironic. They've gone too deep into irony and now the stuff looks good to them. They dress hideous because they like how it looks.

The Hipster Vortex has claimed this band. These guys just take it way too serious. It's past being a joke and fun and to a point where these guys are trying to be serious. The video doesn't seem like a send up of popular hip-hop culture, it seems like a retread. They're just a bad version of what they're trying to do.

And of course, becuase they're white, KROQ is playing it. When was the last black hip-hop artist KROQ played? Cyprus hill? Is that it?

Fuck this band, fuck KROQ, and fuck me for being stuck a world where this is a real song.
