Genre: Complaint Rock

The Complaint Rock song is always painfully earnest: someone wants you to feel their torment.  Since Complaint Rock values drama over coherence (see: Pearl Jam), these songs always communicate the artist's pain, but may not actually be clear on why they're in pain.  Clarity or no, self indulgence is the order of the day.
