Rated 0Â First off, I don't think you guys really know ETID if you think they would take a stab at their fans like that.
But anyway, to me it feels like this is a very cynical stab at bands like horse the band ( one trick pony). Bands who butcher music and then call it art or innovative. Another note is to suggest that, like someone said before me, that it is a lot about bands copying each other. But fashion and selling out are a big part of these lyrics as well.
People are saying Keith is taking a cheap shot at fans with the "'till death do we rock" line, but it is so much deeper than that. To me, it's calling out those bands for selling out - claiming it's all about the music when all they care about is the money, the fashion - these bands are like 5% music, 95% fashion and, using auto tune on their voices- they don't even actually sing. These factors all add up to these bands being fake, and yet people continue to buy their music.
"sucking the blood from the necks of guitars" - stealing music from those before is a really good translation, but I think Keith was also alluding to the fashion of vampires these days and the fact that a lot of these bands jump on to these fashion trends.
"the closed circuit of stimulus..." is my favorite part of the song. To me, he is suggesting that music, the news, tv, the whole media just kind of traps us all with this fashion, telling us what to think, what to buy and. How to act.
Well ladies and gentlemen, that's my two cents. Let me know what you think.

you clearly have never listened to or followed horse the band to go ahead and try and list them off as a "money grubbing one trick pony band." a band that maxes out credit cards in order to tour as many countries as financially possible, only to come out with about $300, and then get dropped by their label is not "in it for the money or fashion."

get your shit together and muster up a better example than just tossing out a name you're vaguely familiar with at best.
