I have a relationship with Jedi Mind Tricks that makes me a little uncomfortable. They sound good. I really like their sound but when you listen to their lyrics it is really awful. Lots of anti-gay, hateful and other stuff that is really not what I am about. I have settled into just listening to the music because it sounds good and ignoring the lyrics but it gets hard. I don't worry that the music is going to sway me to that viewpoint... I am not that weak willed. Really I just wonder how others deal with music they enjoy the sound of but feel uncomfortable about the meaning behind.

There 's a Dutch band called Son Mieux that I cannot stand. They sing in English. The music is.... fine. It's well produced mass market pop music. I understand people like it. But their lyrics are so atrociously bad it ruins everything for me. It's like a middle school kid with a poor understanding of English lifted parts of well known phrases and put them together based on sound alone, like a bad Christmas gift poem. It's entirely vapid and meaningless, even compared to other pop music. And a lot of Dutch people love it because they don't listen to the lyrics anyway. I cringe every time it's on the radio.
