Guys. The lyrics are bad. They're HILARIOUSLY bad. But they're are SUPPOSED to be bad. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson's writers made the lyrics bad:

1. To show that Jackson led the US in "America's teenagedom," where it was expanding, becoming independent of Europe, and finding its role on the world stage, and...

2. To further act as a satire for modern-day politics and the political mindset.

I absolutely LOVE this musical, but yes, the lyrics are hilariously terrible. With good reason.

1 & 2. Of course this isn't Emo rock, if it was strait up emo rock it wouldn't be satire, would it?

3. I think the people of the 19th century can take it. They're pretty dead to criticism these days. Besides, if we don't recognize the mistakes of our past, how will we grow as a culture?

4. Seriously? Insulting someone is never EVER a good debate tactic. It immediately puts them on edge and makes them less likely to listen to you. Plus, it makes YOU sound like a 5 year old.

Satire has to be a cut above, otherwise (my opinion) it's just more mush to wade through - but I'm happy that people are enjoying this, since any stage production involves a lot of time, effort and energy. It doesn't have to be everyone's cuppa.

1. This isnt emo rock

2. There using and embrassing rock, not making fun of it

3. Its meant to make fun of the people in the 19th century

4. Your stupid and dont know what rock is or what making fun of something is
