Why I Hate Blood On The Dance Floor


Yesterday, a freshman came up to me and asked if I liked Blood on the Dance Floor since my school bag is a Black Veil Brides bag. When I replied no, I do not like Blood on the Dance Floor, the Freshman looked at me weirdly then walked off. I honestly don’t care what she thinks. I get judged all the time for the music I do and don’t listen to. I but when it comes to BOTDF, I have a huge opinion.

When I listen to music, the music has to have at least one of two things. First, an “Organic” sound (not computer generated and made with instruments and not a computer program. Also, Dubstep is NOT music) and meaningful lyrics. If the song has none, then, I don’t like it all,

Examples of not following the two things:
  • ·         Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson
  •  Stupid Hoe by Nicki Minaj
  • Boyfriend by Justin Bieber (seriously, swag, swag, swag…my generation is doomed)
  • The Motto by Drake
  • Sext Me by Blood On The Dance Floor
  • We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift
  • Birthday Cake by Rihanna and Chris Brown
  • Blah Blah Blah by Ke$ha
  • Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5
  • Gangnam Style by Psy (Vote Obama Style is aweome though)
  • Suit & Tie by Justin Timberlake
  • Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
  • Harlem Shake by Bauuer
  • We Are Young by fun.
  • Anything by Skrillex
  • Live While Were Young by One Direction
  • Beauty and a Beat by Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj

·          
Examples of ACTUAL music
  • ·         A Match Into Water by Pierce The Veil (currently one of my favorite bands)
  • Therapy by All Time Low (one of their most meaningful songs)
  • Go by Boys Like Girls (slow, but beautiful)
  • Story of My Life by Automatic Loveletter (I miss them)
  • Never Too Late by Three Days Grace (this song saved me from a lot of pain)
  • Zombie by The Pretty Reckless
  • A Trophy Fathers Trophy Son by Sleeping With Sirens (you can feel Kellin’s emotion)
  • Never Give In by Black Veil Brides
  • We Won’t Back Down by Escape The Fate
  • Hallelujah by Paramore
  • Bring Me To Life by Evanescence
  • Prayer for the Refugee by Rise Against
  • You Only Live Once by Suicide Silence (R.I.P Mitch Lucker)
  • The Broken by Stars In Stereo (check them out! they are pretty cool!)
  • Never Surrender by Skillet (amazing band, even though they are Christian Rock, they don’t sound like the stereotype of it, even atheists listen to them!)
  • Hold On Till May by Pierce The Veil


I will admit, that most artists do have at least one good song, as much as I hate Justin Bieber, his song Never Say Never has a good meaning, I hate Selena Gomez but the message of Who Says is awesome considering how messed up society is today with no one ever being good enough, pretty enough or skinny enough. So is Mean by Taylor Swift (check out the Artist Vs. Poet version on Youtube, its pretty awesome) Although, I am not sure about Drake, Nicki Minaj, or Carly Rae Jepson. Definitely not Blood On The Dance Floor.

I honestly can’t see how anyone can listen to them. All there music is about is sex. Seriously, they have a song called Sext Me! all their songs talk about is sex, drugs, and violence. The fact that they have fourteen year old girls worshipping them, makes me a little bit queasy (actually, I’m really queasy, but that is mostly from the stupid pain meds from my foot surgery I just had.). If I had a fourteen year old daughter, she wouldn’t not be allowed to listen to Blood On The Dance Floor. At fourteen, the worst thing I listened to was Eminem, and I only listened to the songs that had meanings, like The Way I Am, Mockingbird, and When I’m Gone.  

It’s not only the music that Dahvie and Jayy make that makes me not like them, it’s how the two act and how they are not decent people.

Not only has Dahvie been accused of rape many times (which I honestly am not sure a lot of it is true simply because some people do accuse famous people of things, i.e Bieber’s “baby momma,” Michael Jackson being a pedophile) I don’t believe that chick Jessi Slaughter, but it is on record that he has been arrested for statutory rape. Most likely because idiotic preteen girls are the only people who are attracted to that creep. (Bad joke, I know)

Not only that, but he is just so mean to people and his fan base is mean.

I am a huge fan of All Time Low; I will defend those four amazing souls to my death. Everyone who knows All Time Low know they are jokesters and never really take a lot of things seriously. Apparently in an interview, Jack said “the one thing I learned from Warped Tour is that music genres don’t even matter anymore. It’s like everyone is just chillin with each other” and Alex added as a joke “unless your Blood On The Dance Floor, then everyone hates you.”

I get it. he got offended by that. But his response was unnesicary. His response was “EF @AllTimeLow all time blow, you guys SUK each other’s dicks and shit on each members chest. You are a bunch of rectal raiding fudge packers”

Yeah. Not cool. He also then tweeted “strong people don’t put others down…they lift them up.”
Which one is it Dahvie, are you “Strong” or are you a douchebag. I am pretty sure he’s a douchebag. Not to mention, a perverted hypocrite. He has been mean to people on Twitter.

As for Dahvie’s partner in crime Jayy Von Monroe, he has said “if you don’t like me cause I’m not a bratty scene boy. Kill yourself teach people to be themselves, and I practice what I preach.” No Jayy, sorry, that is Andy and Black Veil Brides who preach about and do. You guys talk trash and don’t even say nice things to people. If you practice what you preach, then you preach mean things Jayy. Not to mention YOU DON’T TELL SOMEONE TO KILL THEMSELVES! I am not even going to go off on how much that pisses me off. You don’t know how someone’s life is. You don’t know that they could feel like that and telling them to do that is what pushes them to the edge to actually kill themselves. It’s not ok to do that.

Here are a few more random things this pair has done:
·         Jayy flashed his butt on a live webchat with teenage fans.
·         During a concert, Dahvie held up a sign that said “Flash Me”
·         Started a petition to be in Kerrang! Magazine and apparently got pist and got blocked by their twitter. He tweeted saying “oneday I am going to go into your office…smile! Jand take a shit on your desk because your magazine is absolutely rubbish

As you can see, he is not a decent guy, let alone deserves to even have fans. Here are a short list of things that some artists have done that show off their character:
·        
  • no matter how bad Alex Gaskarth feels, he always makes sure to put on the best show possible.
  • The sea of hugs at the Sleeping With Sirens concert
  • Vic Fuentes wrote a song for his ex-girlfriend. Not a breakup song, but about her and how she had breast cancer. They aren’t dating, but he avidly supports Keep A Breast and said that now she is just trying to pay off her medical bills and he might get the fans involved so he can help her out.
  • How Rise Against wrote Make It Stop (September’s Children) in honor of the children in 2011 who commited suicide that September because of bullying because they were gay
  • Kellin Quinn’s quote “wrists are for bracelets, not cutting.”
  • Austin Carlile saying “if you're a fan of hurting others, talking down to, or trying to bring others down, then never call yourself a fan of mine.”
  • Alex Gaskarth saying “I want you to fucking pinky promise me you don’t do it. No fan of mine will kill themselves. Don’t do it, for me. I love you."
  • Jack Barakat saying “hey! If someone says “well, your beautiful on the inside.” Just slap them.”
  • Andy Biersack stood up for Bryan Stars in an interview after Christofer Drew was a douchebag to him.

That is true character. Being all around awesome people and acting like it and proving it. Something stupid Dahvie and Jayy aren’t.

I would also like to state that in order to write this blog entry, I had to go to this bands Youtube Channel and watch a few videos and read their lyrics. That, and help from my stupid pain meds did make me almost vomit. So understand that I DO know what I’m talking about when it comes to their music and how crappy it is.

The music video for Bewitched, I don’t understand how anyone can watch it, let alone play Dahvie’s love interest without vomiting. He looks uglier that anything I have ever seen in this video. Not to mention most of it is shot in some kind of green screen with some background that looks like hippie vision. The best part of the video was the end part when Dahvie’s girlfriend cheated on him and he got shot. (although, there was no blood)

The video for Rise and Shine takes place at a high school. the classic one kid gets made fun of by everybody else, they hate him. Blah, blah, blah. Dahvie and his stupid friend Jayy are in the hallway uglier than the first video. (I also noticed that his voice is so bad it can’t even be autotuned to be saved) then this kid is in the hall and pulls out a gun, classic scenario when it comes to bullying. It then shows a few flashes of news report for real school shootings (using clips from Fox News) and then all hell breaks loose and the kid starts shooting everybody and Dahvie thinks he’s all badass so he starts screaming. We see the kids who were mean to him all dead and covered in blood. We get close ups of the wounds. Then we see this kid in class, like he didn’t kill anyone, some teacher is writing I Will Not listen to Blood On The Dance Floor and the kid puts the gun in his mouth like he will kill himself. He wakes up, puts the gun away and then some statistics are flashed, making it sound like Jayy and Dhavie give about the bullying problem. (if they did, they wouldn’t be bullies on the internet to there fans and start all he drama they do) no solution to the problem in the video is shown.

Don’t Want To Be Like You Dahvie plays the acoustic guitar on the beach trying to be all sexy (failing epically of course) and is seen having people talk about him behind his back. We get flashed pictures of sunflower fields and beautiful landscapes. Then Dahvie and Jayy are there singing and trying to be all romantic and pretty again, epically failing. Especially by Dahvie’s green hair and skeleton body suit.

In Unforgiven, we hear these two again both auto tuned terribly wearing clothes that make them look like creepers and the music is freaking teachno or electronica but the two have a backup band. Dahvie slits some chick’s throat and has razors on his hand like Freddy Krueger. (Insult to Freddy Kruger)

After that, I had to stop because my eyes started bleeding and ears started swelling from the garbage that came from my computer. It took an entire two hours of listening to Pierce The Veil nonstop in order for my headache to show symptoms of going away. I also took a shower because I felt so weird and icky because of having to listen to them.

I honesty wonder how these two can have a freaking record deal, but bands like Artist Vs. Poet are unsigned while Hey Monday and Automatic Loveletter had very little success, Terry McDermott is still not signed along with Amanda Brown and Liz Davis.

Now, to end this rant on how much I hate this crappy band, I will repeat I HATE THEM and say that THEIR “MUSIC” IS GARBAGE, Dahvie is a douchebag along with Jayy and that they shouldn’t be signed and are not real musicians. They also are mean and not decent people and need to grow up. Maybe go to a rock concert and see what real music is, stop using auto tune, and maybe just go home and stop pretending to be musicians.
