Just heard "Bad Guy" on the radio and could hardly understand a word she said. Then when I think the song's over it starts with a completely different beat like she wanted to write two songs but couldn't come up with enough material so slapped it on the end of the first one

Why is she the new big thing

Because shes an average middle class person who made music with her brother. Music targeted to who the radio and music festivals target. Basic bitch college and high school aged girls

also dresses in a conservative fashion to not be sexualized

I watched one of her music videos and she was in a strait jacket in an insane asylum and had black blood bleeding out of her eyes and mouth.

Her music is straight cheeks, but it does make for some really good EDM remixes. Of course, that's less about her music and more about the talent of the remixer, so...

Bad guy is a decent song. I have heard a few songs from her on the radio. Nothing really bad, I just dont like her over reliance on whispering her lyrics at least on the songs I heard.

I can see hating her music. Especially when you compare her current stuff to her early songs where she actually SINGS.

Maybe it's the sound settings in my car - the bass drowns her out. But I've never had that issue before

What is deep music?

Tool. But to be fair, you have to have a very high astrological transit to understand Tool. The lyrics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the Fibonacci Sequence most of the allusions will go over a typical listener's head. There's also Maynard's psychoanalytic outlook, which is deftly woven into his vocalizations- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Carl Jung literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the Peyote sensitivity to truly appreciate the depths of these themes, to realise that they're not just pretentious- they say something deep about ANAL. As a consequence people who dislike Tool truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the anti-pessimism in Maynard's apocalyptic mantra "Learn to Swim," which itself is a cryptic reference to Bill Hick's comedic epic Arizona Bay. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those Coke-sipping hookers scratching their penis heads in confusion as Reverend Keenan's genius wit unfolds itself on their picture discs. What jerkoffs.. how do I tolerate them?

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Maynard's Dick tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that their rectal temperatures are within 4 degrees of my own (preferably higher) before I insert my hand. Nothin personnel carrot

Y'all sound like people in 2001 that were upset at anyone who didn't like Last Resort. It's a vapid pop song with an awful hook


How dare you. Last Resort is an American treasure.

And also a riff that sounds almost exactly like Iron Maiden (Genghis Khan instrumental off the Killers album).
