not that i don't like incubus. i even believe they're one of the most interesting acts to come out of "this generation." their music spans a much wider spectrum than the "woe-is-me i'm a lonely white boy pissed off with the world" crap you get to here from the likes of... well... umm this could be the part where i get to diss bands that are good for nuthin stereotypes... limp bizkit, korn, slapshock... did i already mention limp bizkit? ok thats enough. their maturity as musicians evident in every new release they have put out and
having political undertones in their latest offing is surely a plus. so what am i? i'm no music critic so i guess i won't attempt to elaborate further.

but im not interested, not the least bit anxious to see them perform live. i think this could be attributed to the fact that i'm getting old. and i'm not putting up any resistance. yeah i'm 27. sure, still a relatively young age but isn't this is the age when cobain was inspired to sing... "teenage angst has served me well, now i'm bored and old." of course, teenage angst hasn't served me as well as it did cobain, i didn't get to have a million dollar mansion in seattle nor did i get to be a member of the definitive grunge band of the 90s nor the title "spokesperson for a generation" affixed to my name. well i did get to live near washington street in makati for a time.

now i'm startin to refer to the younger generation in the second person. at times i even call members of this generation as kids. its weird cause it's, their generation and mine, are collectively the same, belonging to the group more popularly referred to as, umm, well, youth. if your going to use the united nations definition anyway.

you may ask yourself what was fred durst thinkin when he referred to this kids as "his" generation when he's pushing 30 and balding even. did he think there would be less talented members in that age group to represent them so he had to take the job himself? jeez. brandon boyd and co. was already doing a good job at it and they truly belong to "that" generation. so why do these kids have to listen to a balding old man, who tries to pass off wearing red baseball cap as style when he's only trying to hide signs of aging, sing about the hardships of growing up and, well, teenage angst? the all american rejects are doing a much more effective job at it and they're only even in their teens... at this point i can lash on this durst guy some more hehe... so now he's reduced to doing covers, which i think is also not the first time, to make up for his lack of talent... ok i'll stop now, startin to lose sense...
