I don't care if it's overrated or not. That means nothing to me. The fact is that the greater majority of "angry" music is so goddamn stupid it is impossible to get anything even remotely interesting out of it. They are angry just for the sake of being angry. And most of them are angry because they know that being angry will convince 14 year old girls who hate their parents to buy it. There are exceptions of course. For hip hop there is a ton of great stuff out there. Mos Def, Pharcydes, Talib Qwali and Jurassic five to name a few. As for metal you have Tool, At the Drive In, Dredg, The Mars Volta, Ministry, and maybe even Sparta. I would never say that everything in a certain genre is crap. Just 95 percent of it.
