More reason to re-acknowledge that EVERYONE is full of shit at some point... ICP... Twiztid...The Butthole Surfers... Janis Joplin... Starland Vocal Band... let's just try and focus on the music.. as hard as it is...  

You leave the butthole surfers alone

So basically... All My Heroes Are Cornballs?

I think the idea behind the bernie line is more about calling him a "limousine liberal", as it were

Twiztid suck at politics.
  

I don't think either are politically literate but it seems their stance will always be that all politicians suck. Which would be a more well received stance if either showed any amount of political literacy outside of the sensational.

I prefer their more vague things like from Mostasteless and the Obama line from A Sad Christmas Song didn't bother me because it didn't seem like it was necessarily aimed at him more so just the government in general. This song was obviously playing off of sensationalized opinions and it obviously shows a lack of understanding, nuance and independent thought when it comes to questioning the accuracy of articles looking to sell outrage. As I've already pointed out, it's really ironic coming from them since they are victims of the same unresearched reactionary opinions of people addicted to drama.

Though the intent of the song is pretty cool, personally I'd much rather they took the JPEGMAFIA route and went with a thing I've preached around here for years which is not to idolize people because everybody is flawed. Instead the song went to "idolize us because we won't let you down like them" which is just arrogant dishonesty holding themselves to a standard that they obviously can't reach being as how the Tyler, the Creator line kind of let a lot of people down. Nobody is perfect, not even Twiztid. I always thought Twiztid's stance was to become your own idol over celebrity worship.

I thought No Breaks was a good example of them being political though. Or even on Apple I felt they were really speaking for the people who were most effected by the recession. Here, eh.

Going back to read the lyrics and I'm not exactly sure if Jamie is really condemning everybody in his verse. Like, does he also have a problem with Mac Miller for dying?

For those that dislike Twiztid doing metal songs.

Is it the metal or is it Twiztid doing metal? 

I had a stage where all i listened to was metal. I can dig Twiztid occasionally doing it.  

I think, for a lot of people, it isn't Twiztid doing metal, but maybe the kind of metal that they are currently creating.

With the emphasis on Jamie's style of (arguably) "emo" singing, it tends to become a jarring tonal shift for long-time listeners.

They have been experimenting with this style since the early days, admittedly. And it isn't even "metal" for the most part. Different kinds of rock are being played with. And that's cool to me. I really dont like most of their newer, post-Psychopathic songs, but I don't only dislike the emotional rock songs. They do a great job at them, usually. For instance, I like most of the rock tracks off of "Mutant". 

I really dislike "Majik Spells", however. I admit to it's catchiness. But man, the entire package of the song, video and vibe just aren't my idea of enjoyable Twiztid. However, I get how someone else can enjoy it and appreciate it.

Feels like Twiztid (primarily Madrox) are doing what they want to be doing with their music right now, for better or worse. Madrox looks up to nu metal icons like Linkin Park and earlier metal singers.  I think he wants to be on the level of Linkin Park. I'm not a fan of them, either, but I can respect em. And for Monoxide? My guess is he admires the stylings of Benjamin Franklin, primarily. Kidding, relax.

This was a really cool video by the way.

I'll let y'all get back to your breakdown of madroxs "homophobic" lyrics and how Twiztid thinks they are your heroes. 

Juggalos are the fucking worst.  

A) I'm not a juggalo.

B) Dissecting lyrics like we are is actually much much more common outside of juggalo culture. Like, honestly a lot of juggalo lyrics are just flat out fucking retarded even when they're trying to be taken seriously which is probably why juggalos are less critical of lyrical content. I'm huge fan of Twiztid, I loved this album and I loved this song. That doesn't mean it's above criticism. Nothing is above criticism.

C) Russ fans are the worst.

a "worst psy lyrics" could be a good thread..

I heard Mono say on Mirror Mirror "Sittin on a dock by the bay.."

Little known fact: Tyler Durden is a Juggalo. Before his major role in Fight Club he made the rules for Juggalo Club.

The first rule of Juggalo Club is: Deny your a Juggalo.

The second rule of Juggalo Club is: Deny that your a Juggalo  

I think ur thinking about the juggalo yacht club🤔😂

That's not a bad lyric. He is just borrowing Otis Redding. That song is awesome, too. "CNT".

I always thought it would make a good gay porno title. "Sittin' on the Cock of the Gay".  

Cnt is a good song but that's easily one of the worst filler/set up lines ive ever heard from them..
