Adema is one of those bands that I heard one song and then Bought the CD. I think I've listened to it twice since then. They are pretty much just like every other nu-metal band that I've ever seen: Rap influences, heavy guitar, and non stop complaining about things that everyone goes through and comes out fine. It gets tired after about the first ten minutes. All they have done is sound just like almost every other band out there with very little to offer in the way of orginality.
The Pop-Punk things is getting a little tired as well. Again, they are just a bunch of bands that have done little else than sound just like one another. Don't get me wrong, I love punk, but the whole mass produced, mass marketed, mass consumed pop-punk/nu-metal thing is getting tired, and most of them will be on the "Where Are They Now" file when their audience grows up. Even Nirvana and Pearl Jam and the Cure made songs that were fun to listen to. They had a sense of humor and such.
And, MTV? Don't even get me started. I really hate how they call them selves "Music" Television, but in all honesty you are hard pressed to even find music on that stupid channel. Nothing irrates me more. I'm waiting for someone to sue MTV because the name of the channel would lead you to think that they had music videos as the majority of their programming. Even "All Things Rock" is nothing more than the same videos hosted by those wanna be punks from GC.
If you want good punk... Check out Mid Carson July. They are Pop Punk with out sounding like garbage. Or even hard core is so much better than 99% of the crap that MTV tells you is good. Bands like Hatebreed, Converge, Atreyu, Blood for Blood, Ramallah, Snapcase, Sparkmarker, Most Precious Blood, Playing Enemy, Shai Hulud, Hopesfall, Coalsece, ect.
