whoa hold it. im 18, soon to be going to university in london. im no uneducated fool. yes, im well aware these bands target teen audiences, and some of the bands i really like because i can relate and escape with the lyrics. plus their generally catchy tunes i can sing and tap along to. a good band doesnt need to be methodical, meticulous and complex in everything they do and talk about.
