Hollywood Undead - Young (Single)

1 out of 10

'The song is currently on the C list at Radio 1'. I wonder how much they had to shove in the Beeb's back pocket to get this steaming morass of emo-metal cack even that far. The oh-so-ironically-named Hollywood Undead don't even sound particularly 'young' - more like they were manufactured in some record company's 'angsty twat' factory. Your musical references, should you want them, are Eminem spliced with Linkin Park, bemoaning a world teetering on the edge of collapse with hideous nihilism-by-numbers lyrics.

It is 'bands' like this, of course, which hasten the apocalypse, what with them sounding like creatures from iCarly's sewer touting schoolyard-singalong choruses such as: 'we will fight / we will fall / 'til the angels save us all'. They are enough to turn any calm, sane person into a raving zombie screaming 'Why?? WHYYY?!?!?!?' and seeking to eat their own brains, to forever destroy the knowledge that Hollywood Undead walk the earth and are paid as musicians. God forgives all, apparently, but I suspect that even he would struggle to forgive this anodyne, airbrushed nonsense.

your so stupid for sucha close minded review like this. how in the hell do you figure a song like this is horrible? the youth of any age are always under the gun form you older folk. parents and older generations always have that "oh, kids today..." attitude. like we are so horrible, such a disgrace to the world. And dont say that this rift between generations doenst exist. you dont understand what we grow up with and since they dont understand they criticize. they complain about the youth they raised haha. way to go parents. havent you ever heard someone call the youth hateful? because i have heard that. they discuss that and i think its just a way of them saying that older generations dont understand. We are young. yes we wave this flag of hatred but your the ones who made it. does that not leave any sense of what i said in it?
