I have a relationship with Jedi Mind Tricks that makes me a little uncomfortable. They sound good. I really like their sound but when you listen to their lyrics it is really awful. Lots of anti-gay, hateful and other stuff that is really not what I am about. I have settled into just listening to the music because it sounds good and ignoring the lyrics but it gets hard. I don't worry that the music is going to sway me to that viewpoint... I am not that weak willed. Really I just wonder how others deal with music they enjoy the sound of but feel uncomfortable about the meaning behind.

Five finger death punch.

Tbh not all of their lyrics read like a jr high aged edge lord, but a lot do.

Same with Texas Hippie Coalition, only add redneck to the descriptors.

But both of them have a great sound as bands. Crunchy as fuck.

Unironically like 5FDP but yeah, their shit is CATNIP to right wing punisher skull dudebros. Find a live concert and count the 9 line shirts, I dare you.
