SIMPLE PLAN - 'Welcome To My Life'



Origin: Montreal, QC
Category: VOLCANO TOSS
Cherchez La Moose: This one's a no-brainer. Welcome To My Life may very well be one of the worst songs ever created. Every generation has their own angst-fueled bands to identify with - mine were Limp Bizkit and Slipknot, back in the late 90's. I'm not sure if there has ever been a band as obvious and manipulative as Simple Plan though. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when this song first came out. I actually thought that they were parodying themselves. A little part of me dies every time I hear the singer whine about "big fake smiles and stupid lies." Can 13 year olds not see through this?
