The Red Hot Chili Peppers...
...are the physical embodiment of everything I don't like about California.
I've heard more about this annoying band than I have actually heard of their music, and that would be a lot, and certainly not of my choosing.
The only human being who has tried harder to be cool was James Woods in the movie Vampires.
The mixture of narcissistic-cool and overzealous-gregariousness reminds me of a dog that keeps trying to hump your leg, determined that you might enjoy it if you just give in. More like a dog that tries to hump it's own leg, because it thinks it is so cool, and it thinks you should watch.
This is overlooking the obvious fact that their music sucks. All shallow hooks with no substance. I guess if I liked their music, I would find their pretentiousness amusing instead of annoying. Not to say that they aren't talented, but there are many talented musicians who can't write a good song to save their egos - in this case, four of them.
No doubt the RHCP were the Village People of the 90's, but now-a-days, you have to be more glaringly über-overzealously-gregarious to steal the spotlight.
Case in point: Meet the Village People of the 2000s.
