I have a rather large problem with My Chemical Romance's song "Teenagers."
Here, in Modesto, our local Clear-Channel station plays the song every 10 minutes, and being that my wife is rather well-tuned into the pop-culture, I get tortured by the song pretty regularly.
One of my problems is when I don't like a song, I listen to individual parts of that song and disect why I don't like it.
In case you're not sure which song is "Teenagers," it's the crotch-rock-ish song that kinda resembles "Achy-Breaky Heart." The chord structure is pretty similar and the rhyming pattern is very close.
It boggles the mind, how a band of 30-year-olds can try to identify with "teenagers."
It also boggles the mind how the solo part of the song is straight out of the Poison-Bon Jovi-Motley Crue playbook.
And we consider them "punk" by how they dress.
Time to turn off the MCR, world. Two or three years from now, they'll be just a distant memory, like Yellowcard.
