okay at least the risecore ( ofm&m and company) bands have talent in some form or the other, but i will never, ever get the appeal of bands like this or bvb, i mean what is it? is it a trend or something to like their "music"? why would people even listen to this ? are they like the new KISS or something?

/ end rant.

That's pretty much all there is to it, I don't think it has to do with the music at all. (except that the graphic sexual lyrics have the added bonus of making kids feel rebellious)

yea i know that's why it's appealing to them, but at the same time there are numerous better bands that can cater to that same feeling of alienation. But damn the image alone is so unappealing and unoriginal.
