lyrics

In a sea of redundancy
Hardcore isn’t what it seems
Grindcore can’t be kept alive
It died at the hands of Facebook
You’re to blame too, but the scene sucks anyway

People like things that all sound the same,
people who do the same shit over again
Tap into nostalgia = fan recruitment guarantee
Copy-pasting plagiarism, not for me

It’s never been written down
Or among all texts, at least I cannot seem to find
We should embrace personality
Not just blatantly chase uniformity
What's the point in playing the same five notes again

You'd question why we make music at all
when everyone's goal is to post it online
Create to recreate, and then to saturate
Lyrics about mundane struggles with what we hate
You could say "what's the point of it all"
if we weren't as quickly content with our art
If that's even what you aspire to make
Too pretentious for a hobby, too generic to take seriously

And fuck this band too

Define subgenres and stick to the cliché's
Rip off riffs from all over the place
Start a new band for every nuance
Show the world you can recreate

When the hype's over, you'll jump on the next train
Destination: success, someone else will pave the way
Vinyl stacked upon derivations and clones
You can't wait to go on tour
