How much does Nickelback suck?
Anonymous

Nickelback might be the worst band of all time. They honestly give me a stomachache.

I feel like the only straightedge vegan kid who absolutely hates Earth Crisis and AFI.

(Sorry, tommyxvx.)

Mod Flanders Conspiracy: “My Seventh Grade Bus Driver Yells At Dead Trees”. Fuck, I loved this super obscure avant-garde metal band when I was a teenager. I suddenly remembered them last night because this band Sikth sounded kind of like them. This song rules.

Garfunkel and Oates are two of the most adorable women ever and are totally hilarious.

The Bloodhound Gang: “I Hope You Die”. I really, really love this band and have since high school. This song is awesome.

What kind of music do you like? Bands?
I don’t give a fuck, this is still one of the coolest albums I’ve ever heard.

Owen: “I Woke Up Today”. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. So easily to relate to as a kid in their mid-twenties.

Lyrics:
I woke up today and felt for my age for the first time in both my mind and body
And my thoughts are less of fitting in and more of being a better man
But my overbite is getting worse and my whole fucking face hurts

I woke up today with the whimper and not the pain of a school boy or a father
It seems those fifteen pounds I’ve lost since you left
Were the part of me that you loved most and knew best
And I woke up today feeling my age
And the song of everything I’ve ever done
Either I just got kicked in the teeth or time has changed me

Defeater: “The Red, White and Blues”. The only song about the military that will ever be good.

I’ve got the blues
And the blues got me

Tigers Jaw: “Neighbors”. This song is pretty fucking heart-breaking.

Lyrics:
Went for my stuff, feels like I never left
Homestead, girlfriend who’s broken, upset, feels dead

What happened to me?
Public perception is not convincing
And I wanna die
Who am I?

King’s road, I don’t know, strong style back home

Letting myself go
Broken friendships, away from home
And I’m fucking around
Burn myself to the ground

Holy shit, this is such a perfect electronic album. I will be bumping my head for days.

Good Clean Fun: “The Vegan Revolution Draft Dodger Anthem”. This is the song whose lyrics always echoed in my brain as I selfishly continued to put off going vegan and kept ordering cheese pizzas.

Lyrics:
I think fur is a crime, I protest all the time
You should see all my bumper stickers
That “Firestorm” song sure gets me singing along
My righteousness never flickers
I think PETA is swell and vivisectionists go to hell
I live to fight the man
And if there is ever a cause with no dietary laws
I’ll be the first to take a stand

The animals, I see their pain with ease
But don’t expect me to give up pizza with cheese

The animals, I see their pain with ease
But don’t expect me to eat a pizza without cheese

I know I could be the best vegan the world’s seen
It’s such a shame my doctor says I can’t because I need the protein
What’s right or what’s wrong is not a tough decision
But animal torture is a part of my new religion
Hey, you know that I am down with what it’s about
Did I happen to mention I need the strength to work out?
Because I am building up muscle, I’m a growing boy
Such a cruel twist of fate, I’m allergic to soy

Excuses, excuses are not for me
I’ve wised up, but these leather shoes were free
These shoes were free

Is there another way to live? Because it’s the only way to die.
Slipknot, “Disasterpiece”

Joyce Manor: “Beach Community”.

I realize it’s true
Everything reminds me of you
