Today, I continue posting random songs to this Cortex platform to ask Shackers the same question. Does this song suck? Today's song is Everclear's "Santa Monica."
Reasons it might suck:
- Santa Monica is one of the most overrated and worst beach cities in Southern California
- Also full of tourist trap bullshit
- The lead singer's hair isn't the same color as his beard
- He also sings like he's constipated
- Also, what is the deal with his fucking head tilts?
- He also sings like he's constipated
- That guitar hook is not really good
- The lyrics don't even sound like a song about California
- This was the moment that 90s alternative rock music began to suck
- Kurt Cobain's corpse was barely decaying, but these guys just had to defile it with this song
- The chorus
- Watch the world die, indeed
Reasons it might not suck:
- Over 20 million views on YouTube
- This might be Everclear's best song
- All of their other songs are basically just copies of this song
- The lady in the music video
- But the domestic violence implied in her scenes is concerning
- Lead singer Art Alexakis kinda looks like he should have been in a boy band
