What's with all the pre-packaged, pseudo, watered-down and crappy "hard core" music floating around now? From AvrilLewhatever to what's-his-face with that "Party Hard" song that didn't. What's sad is that the MTV-addled minds of people who've never heard anything besides N'Sync, Ricky Martin and Britney Spears actually seem to be buying the image.



And the camera shaking. What the foik's with all the camera shaking in these videos? Is it supposed to fool people into thinking you're actually playing remotely hard music? Watching someone in a six hundred dollar "punk" outfit smashing a car window with a brand new guitar while the camera shakes and "hardcore" music that's mellower than Barry Manilow (with even less talent) plays in the background just annoys/bemuses the Hell out of me.
