A lot of SE bands (and in turn, many SE bands are veg*n, or have veg*ns)

sound like they're just screaming, and no matter how much I try, I just can not like them. But I try.

AFI is punk, well, punk rock now, I guess. Davey and Hunter are vegan, while Adam and Jade are vegetarian. I'll be willing to admit I like their newer stuff better, because it's easier on my ears. (I prefer quieter music in general)

You know we're ready to rearrange
I'm on one mission, to kill an old tradition
Make a meat-eater like a black and white television
It's time to take the dying out of what we eat
So get out of your seat
Because it's time to beat the meat "

I love this punk and emo. These are real punks and real emo. I love a broad range of music, but the real passion in these singers' voices comes through really clear to me. It's deeply moving.

and I did not get the reference to xVx?

Does history guide you, or do you set out to change it?
Breach not broken

**** your...
Skinned- alive designer wear
Fashion shades and salon hair
Heels to help where nature failed
Artificial teeth and nails

The wasp's nest expands

So clap your hands! It's her!
The one black woman who's success you don't credit to Affirmative Action
The way of the future is corporate sponsors raising your kids
Maternal love is nothing compared to what $7 gives
Put in, suck out plastic body parts
It's the ever-growing industry of cosmetic arts!
Bombarded with the idealized shots, dysmorphic, self-destructive plots

Physical flaws are a mental blank

So pay your surgeons
It’s your parents you should thank

[Chorus:]
These eyes are blind to several hundred left behind
(Lest we forget again)
But the border is breached but not broken
Who tries to find the several hundred left behind,
When the border is breached but not broken?

Go-existing in a twisted society
Where youth is a crime and wasteful sweat-shops expenditures are how luxury is defined
Now the KKK has found a new masquerade
**** your self-proclaimed supremacy
You hide your face and your shame!

Identify right and wrong when all fact is merely opinion
You cannot know the sweetness of victory without first dwelling in the agony of defeat

But in a more positive direction - and still concerning vegan edge metalcore - I'm madly in love with the singer from this group:
