A punk-turned-pop band who produced two underground Punk albums in the late 80's, early 90's, then went on to bigger, more commercial things, (though they lost their indie status, still considered to be quality punk rock) until the release of American Idiot; known by any real fan of punk rock to be the most insultingly pathetic release to date. It picks up where Blink 182 left off in turning a genre (punk) of insanely warped guitar melodies and meaningful, thought-provoking lyrics into mushy love songs and half-assed, pretentious bitching, all to attract a new generation of 13 year old girls, (most likely moving on from the hip hop trend) seeing a Green Day vid on MTv and going to Hot Topic to buy some anarchy shoe laces, claiming to be Punks, when they know NOTHING about the genre or ACTUAL Punk rock. (They also tend to have very poor grammar, refer to themselves as bois and gurls. This is probably a clinging trend from the hip hop phase they were interested in last week.) And another thing; you're supposed to like a band because you like their music, not because you think the lead singer is how you bunch of Good Charlotte douche bags.
Here's my example: (a comparison)
Green Day - American Idiot (the song):
A brief, meaningless rant, picking up on the Hot Topic/MTv trend of saying you're a rebel, yet... Green Day is the only "punk" band you've ever even heard of. Also, proof that Billie Joe is lyrically retarded.
vs.
Bad Religion - any album/song ever produced: Bad Religion are a REAL punk band that has been making punk rock since the 70's, with the likes of Dead Kennedys, The Misfits, Rancid, and hundreds of other bands little Greenday pop-punks probably have never heard of.
Their music is not only political (it's one thing to say "Oh, I don't wanna' be an 'American Idiot'" "Oh, rednecks are stupid" "Down with Bush!" It's another thing to actually write meaningful lyrics about it that actually inspire intellectual thought, rather than MTv raves.

An alternative/techno Metal band that enjoyed moderate sucess in the late 90's, doing tracks for the movie Zoolander, games like Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo 3, among other titles. Origonally they were a 'spacey' heavily techno-influenced band. The produced a few good songs and some solid albums. Just before the release of their next techno-metal album, Spider One (frontman) cancelled the album. Though it outraged many fans, Spider realized that the sound had just become too old, over-done, reproduced, and... dare I say; stereotypical. Convienently enough, they released another album, Transform, which was an open protest on such themes as conformity, stereotypes and consumerism. Still holding on to their origonal sound at-heart, influences of Punk and more mainstream Rock can be detected. The new album, in and of itself has some decent songs, but was not largely accepted by critics and some fans.
Also; the band has been through many line-up changes, the frontman, Spider One (Rob Zombie's younger brother), being the only origonal member.

An extremely good, well-made, and thought-provokeing movie, starring one of the most talented modern actors, Kevin Spacey.
It follows the last few months of the life of Lester Burnam, as he leads a one-man crusade to save himself from the monotony of every day suburban life.

"I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday."

A person, or usually group of assholes who think the term "freedom of speech" means "oppress everyone with your views". Being that, in 99.9% of all cases in which fundamentalists are involved, religion or otherwise, there is not a single shred of solid evidence to support their claim, they usually attempt to use catch-phrases like "pro-life" and are often cited as "politically correct". George Bush is living proof that fundamentalists have corrupted an already religiously oppressive nation by enforcing their opinions over others, without the benifit of popular vote or atleast a response of "Hey, if you don't like it, don't do it, and leave me the fuck alone." Most non-fundamentalists don't give a shit if their dollar bills say "In God we trust", as long as they can buy what they need to and live their own fucking lives, without constantly interfering with others'.

If someone commits an act described by a book of myth to be a sin, and they do not believe the fairytales described in said book, they shouldn't have to take shit for it.
