Band demonising

From the Le Tigre 3 thread

Quote from Flux . I mean, yr not going to hold Sheryl Crow to blame for the Limp Bizkit-incited raping and pillaging at that Woodstock Festival, are you?


Now I know I've defended Bizkit before and round these parts it's like farting in a lift.
But Flux incite to rape? I'm sure I missed that bit on MTV. Are you talking about the old Metal stalwart of shouting something along the lines of shouting "Tear this place apart" or something similar? Surely it's the singer in a rock band too try to get the crowd bouncing off the walls? As in mosh pits/ pogoing whatever?

I'm always amazed at peoples leap to demonise what is in fact just another metal band?
Not sure what point this thread is, I just don't like the blame of a pack of fuckwits draging down a band. (all be it a band of (aparent) fuckwits.)

I'm amazed that anyone would demonize metal by calling LB a metal band.

Well, I'm led to believe that some of Limp Biscuit's (spell, losers) lyrics show a somewhat unhealthy attitude toward women..

but mostly I just demonise them because their music sounds like such utter, utter poo.
