Listen up BOTDF Haterz!!! (You're All Completely Correct)

Today I'll be explaining just why BOTDF suck so much it's shocking.

REASON 1) Shitty lyrics.

You're attractive, little witch, you're beautiful. (Beautiful)
Your wickedness, little witch, it broke my heart. (I Broke your heart)
Enchanting words, little witch, you've cast a spell. (I Cast my spell)
Masked destroyer, little witch, my beautiful apocalypse.

You got me bewitched, 'cause I'm under your spell, Ohhh.
You must be a witch, 'cause I am living in Hell, Ohhh.
Now is the time, now is the hour.
I am the magic, I am the power, oh.
All I need is one star in the sky, wish for you every night.

I tricked you to fall in love, little boy.
I played with you 'til I was done, like a toy. (Like a toy)
Hard in love as I destroy the end of you. (The end of me)
So easily fooled, little boy, to think it's true. (I'm in love with you)

You got me bewitched, 'cause I'm under your spell, Ohhh.
You must be a witch, 'cause I am living in Hell, Ohhh.
Now is the time, now is the hour.
I am the magic, I am the power, Oh.
All I need is one star in the sky, wish for you every night.

Now is the time, now is the hour.
To take back my heart, to take back my power.
This is the moment to break your spell.
I see right through you,
Now burn in Hell.
(You're gone)

Now is the time, now is the hour.
To take back my heart, to take back my power.
This is the moment to break your spell.
I see right through you,
Now burn in Hell.
(So long)

Now is the time, now is the hour.
To take back my heart, to take back my power.
This is the moment to break your spell.
I see right through you...
(Burn in Hell, witch!)

You got me bewitched, 'cause I'm under your spell, Ohhh.
You must be a witch, 'cause I am living in Hell, Ohhh.
Now is the time, now is the hour.
I am the magic, I am the power, Ohhh.
All I need is one star in the sky, wish for you every night.

I need not explain.

REASON 2) Lyrics that are FARRRRRRRRR too sexual. You know what? To talk about sex is fine. It's absolutely fine.*
*When the average age of your fanbase isn't NINE. I'm not even joking.

New messege from B.O.T.D.F.

Sext, sext, sext, me
Sext, sext, sext, me
Sext, sext, sext, me
Sext, sext, sext, me

Less than three is just a tease
Send those nudes, make me drool
Hit me up - make me cum
Wanna sext? I'll show you some

Sticky drama all the way
Want my dick? You gotta pay!
You've seen what my thumbs can do
Time to use my tongue on you

Show me what you got on my LCD
Let's get down to it
So you can get down on me
Cybering is so 1999
You've got to be textually active
If you wanna be mine

'Cause...

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna rock your body
I wanna taste your sweet

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna aah ahh
I wanna aah ahh

Love me or hate me but you want to fuck me
My love is unrestricted
You know you wanna lick this
One stronger than the strongest drug you've ever had
Mix 'em all together and I would still be twice as bad

I know you want some more!

When I text it's sex! sex! sex!
You start to undress! Dress!
Poppin' out your chest,
In your friends' request.
Now I'm rocking on your top
And you know I just can't stop stop
Make you drop
Feel you up till I hit the spot
'Cause I can't take TAKE TAKE
ALL THIS WAIT! WAIT!
I'm so impatient
You got me wait'n
Cut this shit!
Show your tits!
Flip it out on my sidekick
Like quagmire on family guy
Giggity! Giggity! All the time

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna rock your body
I wanna taste your sweet

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna aah ahh
I wanna aah ahh

Love me or hate me but you want to fuck me
My love is unrestricted
You know you wanna lick this
One stronger than the strongest drug you've ever had
Mix 'em all together and I would still be twice as bad

There I go!
Sexting all my mother fucking favorite hoes
Stereo blast it up! Go ape shit and tear it up
We can make you look like hobos
She's texting if she should swallow
Hellz ya! Go for more
Parents banging down the door

Oh no - caught with my pants down
Now I gotta leave this town
I ain't never looking back
I'm gonna tell your ass straight up
This is how we live it up
I just don't give a fuck
And if I ever gave a fuck
I would be straight out of luck

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna rock your body
I wanna taste your sweet

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna aah ahh
I wanna aah ahh

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna rock your body
I wanna taste your sweet

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna fucking rock your body

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna rock your body
I wanna taste your sweet

I wanna fuck you hard
I wanna feel you deep
I wanna aah ahh
I wanna aah ahh

Love me or hate me but you want to fuck me
My love is unrestricted
You know you wanna lick this
I'm stronger than the strongest drug you've ever had
Mix 'em all together and I would still be twice as bad

I know you want some more!

Sexting, sexting, sexting

REASON 3) Overtly sexual lyrics towards your nine year old fanbase. How could you make that worse?
Oh right, when one of your members has been repeatedly accused of pedophilia.
Yes, that's right. Blood on the Dance Floor's Dahvie Vanity (whose real name is actually Jesus, which is a fucking hilarious coincidence) is apparently a child rapist. Although the young girl who originally started the rumour admitted she lied, in light of it, other anonymous sources came forth. It was claimed in court that it never happened, but, still. Any rational person would try and steer away from the topic of sex altogether. However, it seems BOTDF are fucking insane, so whatever.

REASON 4)

REASON 5) Tweets like these from the OFFICIAL Blood on the Dance Floor account.

Comment with more of your reasons.
I'm not even gonna start about the fanbase, I'll leave that for another rant.

Core Bands- Your Best Bet

Pantera. Metallica. Slipknot.

I think we can all agree they're brilliant bands. However, as brilliant as they are, there will only be one of them. There will never be another Pantera, another Metallica, another Slipknot- that generation of metal is over. Yet there are perfectly good metalcore bands that are talented all the same.

I cannot count the amount of times I've been watching the likes of Asking Alexandria, August Burns Red, or Of Mice and Men and read a YouTube comment that goes along the lines of "Noooooooooo, this isn't reeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal metal! Go listen to Slipknot."
Slipknot is fucking brilliant. However, Slipknot will not last forever. Metallica will not last forever. (Jesus, with the amount of hatred they have between themselves, it's a shock they've lasted this long. Props to them.)
What I would recommend to quench your need for a good headbanging (sounded slightly dodgy, just ignore that) are bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Blessthefall, and old Bring Me The Horizon. (I actually love the new BMTH, but someone who wants some heavy metal would prefer their old stuff like I Made Out With Medusa and Alligator Blood.)

I can kind of suspect why a lot of metalheads don't like the new wave of metalcore, though. It's the fans. There are a lot of scene girls who pose as fans of core bands, that I am forced to engage in conversations with that usually go a bit like;

Them: "Do you like (Of Mice and Men)?"

Me: "Yeah, they're really good. I absolutely love You're Not Alone."
Them: "Yeah... How hot is Austin?!"

I'm not gonna lie, people. I feel your pain. It's really annoying. But perhaps, if you ignored the fanbases and concentrated on the music, you'd enjoy the bands a bit more. Just a suggestion.

I mean, Asking Alexandria have brilliant basslines, BMTH have a brilliant (massively underrated) drummer, OM&M always have great anthem like clean vocals. (I must say I prefer Shayley Bourget to Aaron Pauley, but whatever.)

Lyrics wise?

Don't say I'm better off dead,

'Cause heaven's full and hell won't have me.

Won't you make some room in your bed?

Oh, well you could lock me up in your heart,

And throw away the key.

Won't you take me out of my head?

(Taken from And The Snakes Start To Sing by Bring Me The Horizon.)

Rescue the beauty that's left.

Restore the character that's long since gone,

Because these colors must never fade.

The beat must carry on.

(Taken from Creative Capacity by August Burns Red.)

I stand firm in my solidarity

The path I walk, I walk it with my own resolve

When darkness falls we are reborn

Our dream since the fall of man

We are reborn.

(Taken from When Darkness Falls by Killswitch Engage.)

One day all the old metal will be gone, and what are you gonna listen to? 5SOS? Leave your reservations behind you. Listen to some core bands.

5 Seconds Of Summer and Their Quest to be Punk-Rock

I am a long time reader of Rocksound Magazine, which is, for those of you who don't know, an English publication similar to the likes of Kerrang, The Rolling Stones, or Alternative Press.
This month's issue was a fantastic one, perhaps to make up for the controversy that would inevitably surround it. The cover band, were 5 Seconds of Summer, or 5SOS, as I will stylize them because I can't be bothered to type that out every time I refer to them.
In the issue, 5SOS discussed their adoration for bands such as Asking Alexandria and Blink-182, the fact that they are 'currently' confined to pop music, and how they believe that image will change over time. The writers at Rocksound, bless them, attempted to make it look like a good thing.
"When you first started listening to All Time Low, did you hear them namecheck Blink-182 and look them up? When you first stumbled across Avenged Sevenfold, did you have to see Guns and Roses for yourself to find out what all the fuss was about? 5 Seconds of Summer are about to do the very same thing, and turn a generation of kids currently familiar with nothing outside of the charts onto the likes of Mayday Parade, Yellowcard, All Time Low and countless others."
Whilst, at first, this might appeal to you. What's wrong with other people liking your bands? Absolutely nothing, that's what. (Unless you're a hipster, of course.) However, the people who are currently fans of 5SOS tend to be fans of One Direction, given that they toured together. One Direction are clearly a band that cannot be described as anything but pop.
With that in mind, let's think of what happened when 5SOS covered the originally beautiful songs, I Miss You by Blink-182. If you head to the original video on YouTube, the comments have now been littered with 5SOS fans saying things such as;
"5SoS is way better. This crap is scary and depressing. Stop bashing on my fav band like omg. They made this song way more popular than it was. If anything, this crappy band should cover it. Like omg."
No, that wasn't a joke. That was a legitimate comment that had been posted. There is also;
"This cover is good, but the original by 5SOS is still the best."

I can't deal with that. Blink-182 is one of my favourite bands, and everytime I go on that song, the comments infuriate me.
Props to the 5SOS boys, they seem reasonably intelligent, and they are aware that people don't like them. In fact, they've quite happily accepted it. However, their justifications in being 'the next big punk thing' are really lacking. One of those justifications being, for some inexplicable reason, that they must be punk because they've got a massive dedicated following.
Now, bands like Metallica and Pantera both have massive dedicated followings, and nobody in their right mind would ever label them pop, however the fans of bands like Metallica are not as dedicated in the same way.
For instance, major Metallica mega-fans might possibly buy all the merch and go to several gigs on the same tour, something like that. Perhaps even the most over-zealous of them would jump at Lars on the street, but that would be extremely softcore for the 5SOS Fam. (That's what their fanbase is called, I hear.)
Ashton (Irwin, drummer) goes on to explain that at a photo shoot, a picture was uploaded to Instagram featuring him sat in a chair shaped like an arse. Doesn't sound bad so far, does it? Not exactly 'top, top banter' as Rocksound describes it, but not bad at all.
Within thirty minutes, their fans had searched the web for every photo studio in Manchester that had the arse shaped chair and travelled there to spot 'the boys'.
Oh dear.
Bear in mind, their fans average from the ages of about 8-18, and this saga unfolded on a Thursday afternooon, so I imagine a lot skipped school do follow this exhilarating adventure only to discover that thirty  minutes was far too long and the 5SOS guys had already left.
They also go on about the rock and roll lifestyle.
"There's no one telling us 'Don't do that!'. We're very real online, as well. I post pictures of Calum's arse. We're over 18 years old. Sure, I might get drunk every now and then, that's normal. Okay, maybe more than every now and then, but we just have fun. We're teenagers."

They then go on to briefly discuss the fact that they want to save rock and roll. I hate that. But I won't attack them for it, because a lot of bands do it, and I'm a major FOB fan, but I refuse to buy their fantastic Save Rock And Roll album purely because of the title. (And perhaps the price, but mostly the title.) So I think it's just a personal pet peeve. I don't know though, if it annoys you, leave a comment.
Rocksound, being the brilliant publication it is, (no sarcasm, they're literally awesome) don't hesitate to acknowledge One Direction's overtone on 5SOS. 5SOS go to say One Direction gave them a fantastically gigantic opportunity to tour the world, and it seems understandable to a point. They name-drop Dave Grohl, saying that they always wanted to play a stadium like the Foo Fighters do and they got an oppurtunity.
They, then, make a fatal mistake.

"All of a sudden, we're supporting in a stadium and looking out at 90,000 people. You'd be insane to go 'Oh, stuff this! I'm going to play to my crowd of 7000 people."

In that sentence alone, my suspicions are confirmed, and every hope 5SOS have ever held of being perceived as even vaguely punk shatters around them. They're sellouts. You'd 'stuff' playing that stadium because of principles. Society projects forth an image of the perfect person, and punk still is, and always has been about saying "Fuck that! I'll do whatever I want!" and doing whatever you want. Punk was meant to be a war on mainstream, and once you tour with a band, you effectively connect yourself to them, and to connect yourself to perhaps the most mainstream band of the moment loses you any right whatsoever to call yourself punk.

That's my little rant. Please don't hate on me. Leave you're opinions though. If you disagree, I'll converse.
