HAY GUYS

I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to listening to a new and different variety of music than what I normally listen to, but sometimes there are just some quirks in the song that I'm listening to that just completely turn me off to that whole song, and I go "WTF is this bullshit? I can't listen to it anymore, next track or song, please" or just toss that shit in the proverbial garbage can. What would you call that a pet peeve of music? I don't know. I'll probably come up with more in the future as I'm exposed to more music, but here is one case in point, when the song throws out screams or yells of the same stupid shit over and over and over again, whether it's offensive or not. So far I can think of two distinct examples to give you.

#1) I was playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and my favorite radio station to listen on there is Radio X, which features some of the more rock and roll type songs. Anyway there is one song on there from Rage Against the Machine called Killing In the Name, and the song is alright and I like the music, but at the very end of the song the lead singer starts cussing like a motherfucker (pun intended).

Now, I don't mind cussing in songs, but when you repeat the same cuss word and shout it out louder and louder each subsequent time for 16 or more times? Now that just gets on my nerves. Everytime I play GTA and it goes to that song I just switch to anothoer boring radio station. I mean you can't be riding around playing that music without people going "WTF? Yes, we all know you're hardcore. Take a chill pill buddy. Deep breaths." Here is the song and lyrics if you're interested:

#2) I was listening to a local radio station here that plays the more modern pop and rock songs and I heard Linkin Park's song called Numb. I reminisced about my high school days when I was first introduced to Linkin Park from one of their more popular songs called Crawling and remembered how I used to like listening to their songs that were played on the radio, so I decided to download the album that had that particular song, Hybrid Theory.

It's a decent record and I enjoyed listening to the majority of the songs, but one of the songs on there called One Step Closer does the same thing as Killing In the Name towards the end where the lead singer named Chestnut or something like that yells out about telling people to shut up when he's talking to them or something and I was like, "No! Fuck you I won't do what you tell me! (x16) Motherfucker Chester!" It's not as bad as the cussing in the song above, but it's the same annoying concept that just bugs the shit out of me, so I did like Homestar Runner-Baleeted! Here is the song and lyrics if you're interested:

Ok, now your turn. Do you have a certain pet peeve when it comes to your music, something that just irks you to the point where you throw your hands up in disgust and go postal on the person nearest you, like if you heard another damn cymbal in that song? You don't have to upload the song if you don't want to, but specific examples of it would help, a sound bite, part of the lyrics, whatever you want. If you are posting the lyrics, please put it in a spoiler box so it doesn't clog up the whole post.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
