What happened to lyrics about good things and how much fun life is and nice stuff like being in love, long summer days and hot summer nights (!)?
I'm not just talking about the cheesy, repetitive pop tunes but even in the rock genre there is a depressing "isn't life terrible" angst theme running when there's no real need for it.
There is a bright side in bands like Green Day, Blink 182 etc. Their lyrics take on heavy-ish issues whilst retaining a sense of humour whereas bands like Papa Roach, talented musicians though they are, only seem to sing about how poo everything is
Anyhow, I'm off to cheer myself up with some Slayer!
