Fine. I don't expect anyone but loser juggalos and random weirdos like me to get anything from ICP beyond a surface level, but it's always fun looking for people who don't know they're ICP fans who just don't know it yet. If you're looking for anything non-gimmicky about them lyric-wise then you're in the wrong house, cause they're the gimmickiest **** ever and it's as great a weakness as it is a strength, so if that's a deal breaker then the deal is beyond broken. But hey you listen to power metal so I figured you just might not care about goofy lyrics.

But to be honest ICP's shallow musical merits are easy to grasp on a surface level, but can be surprisingly hard to master due to their cringiness that makes them easy to dismiss, so I'm never ready to totally dismiss a possible fan.
