Sort of hard to take this topic seriously with a "song" by Slipknot opening it, but here is what I imagine to be the best representation of this sentiment. The lyrics come in around the 10 minute mark for those who don't have 14 minutes on hand to listen to the entire piece.

Yeah, okay buddy.
I don't know if torment and despair are the right adjectives to describe this song, but it definitely is evocative of similar emotions. There's something almost uplifting in the sobriety of it.

I did actually listen to that song, and it is just shallow pop shit.
Yes, shallow pop shit covered in a thin veneer of incomprehensible singing and overly distorted 8 string guitars in drop c or some other brutal tuning, but still pop regardless. Honestly, there are moments in the song where I think a choir of pit bulls would be preferable to the bands vocals. And when you actually examine the lyrics, they are just a poorly constructed composition of whiny drivel delivered in sporadic order.
I could make a better or equatable song than this with 10 minutes, a collection of pots and pans, a rabid dog, a zombie, and a non musically inclined child with ADD blindly smashing away at a guitar running through 5 distortion pedals.

About the keyboardists mom dying. The dialogue between him and his "mom" always makes me shed a tear at the end :crying:
...and I miss home, and I miss the closets, the windows, the hallways
And when we are gone, who will keep up the garden?
Like a mother calling her boy, I am, I am so unsafe
But she can't do it alone
but there's nothing stronger than her prayers.
Nothing stronger than the smell of reds.
My fathers reds
Under bridges waiting to look forward, waiting for rushes ends
Living in the moment is the homeless mantra, they know the busiest streets
All we have, all we have, all we have is letting sleeping dogs lay
All we have, all we have, all we have is letting sleeping dogs lay
Your face lit up and for once, i enjoyed where i was
The truth is jade plants die, the truth is muscles atrophy
Softening your skin and hardening mine
"I don't know where to begin
I've thought about this day so much and thought of so many things I've wanted to say
but now, now I can only look at you like the pictures I spend hours staring at
I don't think I've ever smiled so wide as when you were holding me up
I was given a picture the other day of a past birthday
We were together on our back deck
I remember.
You were covered in powdered sugar from the donuts you were eating
I've always loved watching you smile
Do you remember the mornings when we woke up early to ride bicycles to on the board walk or the night before my first homecoming when you taught me how to dance?
Yes I remember. I hope she appreciated all my hard work
I wish I had a different story to tell
I seem I have drifted fairly far away from what you taught me
You were always the (indecipherable)
I'll admit there hasn't been much to smile about since, since you left
I didn't leave, I fought for five years to stay at your side
What do you remember about that night?
I remember a family that loved their wife and mother very much.
How can you say that?
We were liars
We clung to those songs like we so desperately wanted to Cling to you.
Then I don't think you heard the same song I did
You had to know I was lying
You had to know how much I hated myself for smiling like a fool
For spending our last few minutes together deceiving you
Matthew, your smile on the face of your greatest fear was the greatest gift a mother has ever received from her child
I miss you
I know."
Everyone cares, every eye carelessly tiptoes around you, watching you,
They'll wear black ties, and as they applaud, i'll count claps.
y18NeQ_P1J8
and this song just makes me want to end muh life. i probably shouldnt ever listen to it cuz it always makes me sad. the last minute just KILLS IT (around 2:09 to the end)
A dead glare. This very hard landscape. Everybody's sitting around in cold, metal rooms, waiting for that phone call. Leave the machine alone, they're working overtime. A brutal test pattern. At the thought of a horrible cancer in my mind, she sleeps. I wanna wash my brain.
If it comes, don't call 911. The power lines are falling. He had nothing left to say. No guests, please. No people, please. Don't wanna go outside.
You only know me when my head is full of talk, but then minutes after I leave you, my head is surely gone.
I've got a feeling you don't wanna know a carbon 14 brain test. She dyed my pants. I tried to tell her. I think she understood. I feel like combing my brain

Though I'm sure they put weeks of work into sounding catchy. That song could hardly communicate despair or torment because it doesn't communicate anything at all. It's just distracting. Not that there's anything wrong with non-artistic music, I listen to it all the time.
Maybe the lyrics would make a great poem, I dunno, I didn't read them.

So what?
If you're going to say that Slipknot writes a lot of songs that can be classified as pop, you would be very right. However, this isn't one of them. The fact that this song is on an album that has sold a couple million copies is a result of the marketing involved and the support of a major record label. There are very few commonalities between "Scissors" and your average pop song. It does not follow a clearly identifiable and consistent structure, there is practically no melody, let alone one that is repeated throughout, the lyrics are largely indecipherable at first listen, and the instrumentation, or at least the manner in which they are utilized, is not consistent with what was largely prevalent at the time of the recording (1998). If you were talking about "Duality" or "Before I Forgot", you would be right in declaring them pop songs, but you're not with "Scissors". So much music that remains in relative obscurity potentially has mass commercial appeal, it just is not marketed in such a manner that allows it to reach a wide audience. So, in effect, in declaring it "shallow pop bullshit", you are judging it based off the fact that the band is commercially successful and has been able to reach a large audience, not based off of any formal or structural characteristics that could classify it as pop music. And, I don't know about you, but it seems pretty lame to me to hate something just because it is popular.

And, I don't know about you, but it seems pretty lame to me to hate something just because it is popular.
Well, let me begin by dismissing the assumption you have made is presuming that in my remarks on pop that I meant for any negative association to be immediately attached to the term pop itself. Popular music can on occasion coincide with music which actually contains some degree of value, but it is not often that this occurs. It is more often than not that pop music finds its success only after adherence to the general principles of the market, wherein they seek to fulfill a demand held by a large base of potential customers. Naturally, this formula does not generally produce music which would be considered meaningful by any substantiative scale of measurement.
My attachment of the term pop to this abysmal mess stemmed from its clear attempts to cater to a broad and specific target market. This is an approach take by pop artists, and not by legitimate musicians. The angst ridden teenage who is incapable of fitting into the suburban social environment and thus chooses to rebel with seemingly edgy music is the designated consumer to which this product is designed to appeal to. Due to the clear presence of this tactic, I believe the term pop is more than fitting here. Yes, the composition of the song falls outside of the traditional medium of broader pop music, but in purposefully doing so it appeals to another vibrant and expansive market.

And what is this substantiative scale of measurement you're referring to? What is this "value" you are attributing to music created by "legitimate" artists? The problem with using that terminology is that it reeks of subjectivity. That is to be expected, this is music, and tastes are entirely personal and subjective. But in justifying your designation of "Scissors" as being pop, you are trying to make an objective statement based entirely on subjective sentiments.
Music is an art form, and art is a form of communication and discourse. Most artists have a particular audience they are aimed at connecting with and have certain emotions and shared experiences they seek to evoke. Slipknot has the benefit of a major label backing them and all of the intense marketing that comes with that which has enabled their music to reach a large audience. However, their success is due to more than just their marketing. It also is owed largely to the fact that they write a lot of songs using safe and established pop formats that enables their album sales to go into the millions. It's the same approach Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails used. But the thing is, while Slipknot's success owes much to their pop compositions like "Wait and Bleed" and "Duality", not all of their songs can be accurately classified as pop, and "Scissors" is an example. Unless, of course, you define pop as something that is evocative of particular emotions and experiences shared among a specific audience, but that's a pretty unsubstantial and vague definition. I mean, was Son House a pop musician, cause he definitely wrote songs aimed at a very specific audience

Well, I guess artistry is in the eye of the beholder. You may not have liked it, but the song comes from an album widely cited as being among the best ever cut in the 90s by an alternative rock band. You know, up there along with OK Computer, etc. But obviously tastes are different. Though I am bemused by your charge that the song is: "cookie cutter, uninspired, background music that doesn't make an attempt at artistry." IS that because it actually carries a tune?

But lets move back to your choice. I did listen to the song, but I didn't like it. Not because I lack the vision to appriciate fine art when I see and am some form of musical philistine. But because it isn't very good. And there is a certain irony of your describing a song as "cookie cutter, uninspired, background music" devoid of artistic merit, having yourself posted a song which sounds like a Steve Wilson produced Opeth b-side cut just after having just listened to Mogwai, Pelican and Tortoise for a couple of hours and thought that they would give this post-rock lark a go as well.
Maybe if I hadn't heard of Mono, hadn't heard of Pelican, hadn't heard of Red Sparowes, hadn't heard of Tortoise, hadn't heard of Sigur Rós, hadn't heard of This Will Destroy You, I would consider the song you posted worth another 18 minutes of my life and give it another go.

But I have, and their songs actually go somewhere.Name drop much? Because you're supposed to use names that make you look impressive, not pinpoint some superficial aesthetic from an arbitrary framework. Judging a song by how well it "carries a tune" is like judging a painting by how pretty or cool it is. It works for interior decorating, but not something museum worthy. I've got like ten posters in my room, they're great, drunk girls giggle at them. But I have a bunch of Dalis, Jorns, and Beksinskis on my hard drive that I look at for more cerebral reasons.
And Kayo Dot is not post-rock at all. It's surrealist.
QEDMy point was that, though lyrics and the relationship between them and the music are very important, the music was too boring to me to spend any time reading the lyrics. There's not much they could say that wouldn't have the same meaning played with a Metallica song in the background.

That's like saying linguistic ability is in the eye of the beholder.
What an odd comment. To compare a ability with taste is thoroughly foolish. It is a poorly disguised excuse to dismiss that material you do not like as being without artistic merit, in fact not even that, to downgrade it from the point of being a piece of art fullstop. It ignores the fact that all music is inherently aesthetic in nature and the product of creativity. You are attempting to suggest that your own subjective value judgements on the quality of the song dictate whether it is, or is not, art.
Appeal to popularity.
Cop-out, and ultimately one which evades the point; which is that just because you don't like something and don't think it has artistic merit don't make it so. And anyway, your entire argument is built on the fallicious view that if a song carries a tune it is not "art", but is "cookie cutter, uninspired, background music that doesn't make an attempt at artistry", based on a narrow minded anti-populist pretentions.
Name drop much?
Citing a few of the single most popular bands in a massive sub-culture of rock music is 'name dropping'?

This song reminds me of my first "real girlfriend" back in the beginning of high school. She ended up living far, far away. So it's bittersweet. Mostly bitter.

Saw these guys in 2005, and this song is one of the best concert experiences I've ever had.

(You can look up their EP version*, I almost think it's better)
This song is... wow. Not huge into metalcore, with the chugs and all, but this song will always be considered to me one of the most heart-felt songs. The vocalist of this band, Jesse, was in another band with his two best friends. They got into a car accident one night, and Jesse survived, but the other two didnt (hence why it says that at the beginning of the video).
It's almost eerie how when he says "I hope you know I tried to find those pictures Jordo" (at 3:08) and it shows a clip of Jordon turning his head to the camera.
This time
It was our summer
It was something
No one could take from us
Sometimes that night seems so close
Like I could hold it
You said alright we'll be fine
But how could we have known
Do you remember
Roll down the window and let in night air
I always thought we'd be together
You said,
You said that we'd never gone this way before
I must not let you die
Your memory survives
I Hope that tonight things are fine
As I lay awake
The light cuts the southern sky
And that glass stings my lungs
These scars they will
They will always remind me of you and how your always with me
Your with me
Your with me
You are with me, always with me
Nothing, Won't you stay
and
be
with
me
Tonight, tonight
Don't you know I tried to find those pictures with no light
I lost them as I lost you
I lost them as I lost you
Waiting, waiting to see and be with you again
With you again
Wishing the best for you my lost firends, my lost friends
To hear you laugh one last time
I hope you know I tried to find those pictures Jordo,
Of us
That night in Detroit with The Preshure Point
And I,
I feel the need to fly and hide inside
And I,
I feel the need to hide inside your loving arms
Man I swear I'd give the whole thing up for you

And their song Tuesday is almost as good.
EDIT: Just heard Touche Amore's newest album, and this song is definitely worthy of a mention.
