1) The music and lyrics are bad. In a game filled to the brim with classic 16-bit tunes, why people cling to this painfully generic tripe, with lyrics that call to mind a middle-schooler's shallow daydream, is beyond me. It's just shameful. As I've said before on this board, I've shown this scene to friends of mine (who are only casual gamers), and they laughed at it. Laughed.
2) Opera isn't even good to begin with. It's the music for people who listen to public radio, who want to fancy themselves "cultured" without having to put in any effort. Opera music was to the Baroque era what pop music is today: a handful of truly talented artists, but by-and-large artistic refuse that sought only to cater to the masses. Why people consider such a scene, rendered in all its 16-bit limitations, as somehow "expressive" is, again, beyond me.
It's, like, overrated garbage compounded upon overrated garbage. Unbelievable.

Apparently, being right is a moddable offense.
