I think in order to say that, you have to almost be going entirely based on lyricism and the complex structure found in Lateralus and 10,000 Days. I think marketing is more to do with sound than anything, especially with teens. Even assuming you are going on the lyrical content, that's a huge stretch to say that NOTHING about the work they've released from Lateralus on is appealing to the average teen.

There are much more heavier/aggressive/rebellious bands out there so if those are the only things you expect from music I don't think you'll like Tool.
Get back to me once you're over your Limp Dick phase.
