"mainstream,""bland," "screamo," "shite," and "/wrists" were some of the comments i heard. try actually listening to them? music is personal, yes, but it doesn't qualify anyone to make assumptions about music they haven't listened to. they are hardly mainstream - many people i've talked to (around here, at least) have never even heard of them. as for bland, whatever. screamo - if making political and environmental statements is screamo, then sure. shite, your opinion. /wrists - again: listen to the lyrics, it's not "oh my god my girlfriend left me," but something more like "our world is becoming shit because of the way we're treating it."

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
And when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow
From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
When we’ve lost our will
....
When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and
The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
What more will it take
For us to know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
Kissing the ground as well fall from grace
Lights go out as we pass the torch again
In hope that it stays lit
