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.

I wouldn't say I hate their lyrics, but Hollywood Undead is a weird one for me. Some of... Most of their songs are "BOOZE BOOZE FUCKING CHICKS BOOZE" and it's like OK this is some frat boy shit. But then they have songs like Lion and (chorus of) Black Dahlia that are just soul rending. It's an insane juxtaposition but maybe that's part of the appeal.

Also they're a boy band and you can't convince me otherwise.
