I mean, firstly it's American, and i'm downright fed up with us Brits trying to copy everything American.
It's just a fad, something the likes of Kerrang! have been trying to push on us literally since Rob Zombie first came onto the scene absolutely aeons ago,
This music has more name than a Brazilian footballer has on his birth certificate, it's been 'New Rock, New Metal, Rap Metal, etc...and so on'
It's a deeply unprogressive music where people with no brains think they can be inventive...I mean 'Hey i know, lets make a rock record!' 'Dude, thats ooo old hat' 'Yeah, but what if i Rap instead of singing?'....please...help me.
The music is unprogressive in the extreme and you would be hard pushed to find any kind of advance from one song to the next, it's just all so samey...
Skate Punks? I had a skatebaord in the 80s when they were big first time around. Just cos you have a new way of dressing to ride your skatboard does not make it original!
Finally and most damningly, perfectly attractive women get into this music and ugly themselves up with weird hair colorings, over the top piercings and wearing black...come on goth-chic is NEVER going to happen...it's like expecting a mullet to become fashionable. I for one can't wait for this obvious fad to pass over and our youth to return to normailty.

Old rock is much better than the new stuff. Listen to any Iron Maiden, Judas Preist, early Ozzy Ozzborne, Def Leopard, Black Sabbath and James Del Rio for earky rock and how much better it was. These days, it's all distorted electric guitars with the fastest drum beats possible. Sure, I like it, but the old music has so much more meaning. I especially recommend Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills for how rock SHOULD be.

It's all true, they're just making fools of themselves. I saw an add on MTV2 (the 'alternative' music channel) that was going on about 'professional' rock bands. What's it come to when a rock band has to be named 'professional'!? Does it mean they do better palm muting than the other crappy nu-metal bands? That's all I hear when Limp Bixkit or OPM are on the tele - palm muting and loud chords - nothing original, the sort of thing I used to do in the sixth form. Kinda like Feeder really.
