When I read an opinion like this, I always wonder where the Pop music even applies to Filter and their music, other than maybe some of their softer material that was geared toward radio play and MTV when they were popular.
You know your sh*t Jansz, and of course you wouldn't like something like Filter. At least you're not blowing up the thread, glorifying electronic music.
...also, isn't it obvious that Richard is talking mainly about the popular, mainstream music and not so much the underground sh*t? Probably because he wants what he hears outside of popular music culture to get the exposure it needs to push everything ****ty that dominates the charts, out and gone. Not once does he glorify Filter as being this super great band. He just feels that he's keeping the music he makes more true to the art in whatever way he can. I can say from listening to this band since Short Bus that yes, Filter had a lot going for them, and I think even the ideas Richard has in the band today are good. That's just me, though, whatever.
