Have you ever like, genuinely listened to RHCP? Lyrically speaking it’s shear unbridled nonsense with maybe three songs that actually have any coherent sense or meaning. Californication reads like someone put a bunch of tabloids in a shedder and then glued every full word they found to craft paper like a ransom letter. And even still everyone from my grandma to the local homeless credit it as a good song.

I genuinely think they got stupid high and accidentally discovered a memetic hazard that they’ve been using to make 90% of the population believe they write good music.
