To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Muse’s music. The lyrics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the themes will go over a typical listener’s head. There's also Matt's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his lyricism- his personal philosophy draws heavily from George Orwell literature, for instance. The early fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realise that they're not just catchy- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Muse truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Matt's existential catchphrase "We are fucking fucked," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Matt Bellamy's genius wit unfolds itself on their CD players. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Muse tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
