All discussed a billion times before and VERY popular niche topics in popular culture. Among the most hackneyed and cliched pseudo-intellectual themes that exist. The only reasons Godsmack and other such bands use these themes are that:

1: As artists they lack in imagination and conceptual capacity themselves,
2: They know their audience will latch onto those sorts of themes and feel they are not only angst ridden adolescents, but intellectual and sophisticated angst ridden adolescents.

Congratulations on being taken in by all these shallow veneers, Oomph. You're a real true livin' breathin' bona fied cog in the system, mate!

Oh, and the emotion's all affected, too. Which makes matters even worse.
