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.

i think there’s an important distinction to make between thinking lyrics are poor quality and strongly disagreeing with the message in the lyrics.

i often ignore lyrics of poor quality because the music behind them is so good. luckily i don’t recall coming across messaging like you are struggling with, but i think it would anger me enough to lose any interest in the band. don’t support people like that.
