The AFC's Anthem?

[maranathaman]

In that currently popular song "The Reason" by Hoobastank,
when I read the Lyrics, it kinda seems AFC to me.
I DO like the Song alot, however, if the average guy that wasn't a famous Rock Star, said that kinda stuff to most American women, they would think he was a whipped AFC...
Am I right?

Almost all songs by men written about love are AFC songs. They are always about how they want the girl to come back and how they can't believe how lucky they are that they found a girl like that. Music and media is one of the main reasons there are so many real AFC's out there, along with movies and bullshit propaganda about what the perfect boyfriend should be. The guys might not really be AFC, they just sing what sells.

She's So High by Tal Bachman ('97). I really like the tune, and I (wince) sing it at karaoke bars now and then, but the lyrics are pure AFC. I even punctuate a few of the lyric lines with (NOT) when I sing it ;-)

Here's what you need to understand about music: the songs people most identify with are the songs that are about universal problem (lonliness, alientation)

although these things are the things you all attribute to being AFC, in all reality these songs aren't written because the guy who writes them is a big chump, they are written because the guy who writes them knows that people can IDENTIFY with problems like lonliness and alienation, and love.

quit identifying songs as AFC. It doesn't really help much anyway. Just realize these songs are written because the person that writes them knows that he's writing about something that everyone can identify with.

If you like Hoobastank, you've got bigger problems than being an AFC.

Sounds like someone needs a testosterone shot!

Good boost song:


Dope - Die Motherf*cker Die

 

[Kidd]

Best songs to give a boost:

metallica - hit the lights
slayer - raining blood
dragonforce - my spirit will go on

actually just about anything by dragonforce, cheesy power metal.

hammerfall - Legend Reborn
Iced Earth - Stand Alone
Kreator - Extreme agression
Danzig - Mother
Running wild - Calico Jack
Death - Spirit Crusher
Deicide - Serpents of the Light (satanic, but good music)
Deicide - Once upon the cross (same)

i can name hundreds more

Oh, God. I vomit everytime I hear that song now. They used to play that crap over and over 6 years ago when i was flipping burgers at some fast food joint.
