rofl okay kids i know this is like ten days late but i was just reading over this and feel the need to put my own two cents in.
though a majority of american music is in all honesty quite dirty and graphic and whatnot - you can't exactly apply that to the other `popular` artists who have made it big due to their music that isn't as horrible as the others.
classifying bands that aren't what they are ( like, evanescence being emo? ) doesn't exactly get your point across. Evanescence is not an emo band. If you knew anything about the band, you'd know that they are a mixture of a bunch of differen't types of music; gothic, pop, rock, classical.
`Hollaback girl` simply states what it does in the lyrics. Gwen talks about how she's gone through different situations where she's been used. I think she means she doesn't want to be that girl everyone goes to for a one night stand, maybe? The lyrics say it out perfectly, you don't really need to know street slang to get some of the songs.
Alternative music isn't the only clean kind of music out there. In fact, some alternative bands aren't even that clean to begin with. If you've only listened to like two bands classified as alternative, then you need to explore more in the music region for it. Besides, just because one or two songs sound dirty by a band, doesn't mean that all of their lyrics are.
I think this whole entire subject you took to the next level was pretty stereotypical, as some have said already. And now that I put my two cents in, I'm done.
