Why Hardcore Sucks

So I was listening to my Minor Threat demo the other day (pffff, it was $4), and I realized how lame it was. First off, they lollygag through eight songs in a lethargic nine minutes. Next, they have lame song titles like "Guilty of Being White," which, to my dismay, was not a brilliant tirade against the oppressiveness of affirmative action but was rather Ian McKaye yelling "Guilty! Of being white!" about 30 times (in about 15 seconds, mind you) followed by McKaye shouting out his "charges" and the guitarist/three-chord master shouting out "Guilty!" The rest of the CD consists of him bitching about his lower-middle class life and elsewhatever. And the drums are the same exact ride/bass - ride/snare combo that every crappy punk band loves to use in every song. And Minor Threat is no exception. The problem is these guys are emblematic of the entire genre, and, oddly enough, are also considered the great-great-great-great-grandfathers of emo (SDRE is the grandfather of the second wave, which is more accurately emo). But yea, we're talking nine minutes here. I've written single songs that are longer.
