There's times when I start unironically liking some corny ass **** and enjoy the opportunity to be even bigger trash than I already am but I'm kinda butthurt that Recovery is starting to sound good. So lame.

I started saying bruh ironically and now its part of my vocabulary bruh.

That 1st song was dope but that 2nd one shoulda been called "basic bitch chord progression"

Sure is. I got nothing against simplicity or even the chord pattern itself but i do feel its over played so if you want to use it you gotta be a little more creative with it.

So it's the punk equivalent of 4 boomers covering SRV in their garage?

deathrock infused metal is always a pleasure

Classic blues doesn't have "licks," corny cover bands do.

there's no licks by virtue of being only licks

So does jazz but calling themes licks would make you look like a square. I think you're just mistaking derivative pentatonic electric guitar soloing phrases as core elements of the blues.
