Bro, I have friends/know MANY acquaintances that semi-unironically love this shit. There is a very bizarre embrace of this kind of music in the younger hardcore/DM crowd here. It is like, this anti-pretention movement, that ultimately just makes those involved look like they just have bad taste in music. They claim to not take music seriously, that they're just trying to have fun and ignore what someone might think of them and whatnot. IMO what it ends up looking like is: They just enjoy shit pop music in addition to whatever more obscure or aggressive stuff they typically rep in front of their peers.
Yes, that is basically the type whose Facebook I found this shit on. You can't tell if they're serious or not.

I'd rock that, totally. No, I'm serious, but given my tastes you probably figured.
This is a thing now? I suppose it's no different than rap metal back in the '90s. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. Funny, as I like electronic music and metal, and I like me a cheesy pop song too; there's just something too earnest youngperson about it that I didn't connect with even when I was younger. And something a bit hairmetal about it. I like my glam to not wear its heart on its sleeve but embrace artifice.
Also, I strongly dislike the vocals. I'm a curmudgeon when it comes to rock vocals though, and stuck in the '90s there, so feel free to disregard my opinion on that front. In general, I dislike almost every loudrock vocalist younger than I am.

Just getting around to checking that out? When Dev and I were kicking it I ran into it at a record shop and the guy running it put it on for me, haven't given it a listen since then for lack of memory. Will acquire.

This is pretty interesting. It's the demo version of Pretty Hate Machine.

People find this vocalist annoying, but I love this whole band's sound so much. I feel like he is integral to the vibe, wouldn't want to hear anything else.

All covers of it suck so far. I just don't get it. The original is so chaotic and loose and sharp around the edges with that awesome dissonant skronk riff through the verses, and all of those crazy drum/guitar locked-in bits, that aren't really locked in tooooo tightly, just enough to hold together barely. The fucking framework is so very much there. I don't get how people screw up by covering it, and deciding to ignore so many of the things that make it so awesome.
