Bad Religion - Positive Aspect Of Negative Thinking lyrics
BackWords and music by J. Bentley
The word endogenous means "arising from within", the opposite of exogenous.
Grandiloquence is speech or writing marked by pompous or bombastic diction. [1] It is a combination of Latin word "grandis" (great) and "loqui" (to speak).
Frivolous litigation, as used in colloquial and political terms in the United States, refers to lawsuits that are based on a theory that seems absurd, or where the claim results in damages that greatly exceed what one would expect from reading a brief summary of the case. Awards for medical malpractice are sometimes derided as frivolous (in this sense of meaning "excessive").
Positivism is a philosophy that states that the only authentic knowledge is knowledge that is based on actual sense experience. Such knowledge can only come from affirmation of theories through strict scientific method. Metaphysical speculation is avoided. It was developed by Auguste Comte (widely regarded as the first sociologist)[1] in the middle of the 19th century. In the early 20th century, logical positivism — a stricter and more logical version of Comte's basic thesis — sprang up in Vienna and grew to become one of the dominant movements in American and British philosophy. The positivist view is sometimes referred to as a "scientistic" ideology, and is often shared by technocrats[citation needed] who believe in the necessity of progress through scientific progress, and by naturalists, who argue that any method for gaining knowledge should be limited to natural, physical, and material approaches.
Negativism may refer to:
Pessimism, but rather specifically the philosophy that no knowledge is secure, and that we therefore know nothing.[1]
a behavior of a patient not wanted to be moved, nor to move on command. It is a trait of catatonic stupor.
Against the Grain is the fifth album (and seventh release overall) by punk rock band Bad Religion released on November 23, 1990.[1] This is the last album recorded with drummer Pete Finestone who left in 1991 to concentrate with The Fishermen and was replaced by the next drummer Bobby Schayer shortly before their 6th release, Generator.
Along with the last two albums (1988's Suffer and 1989's No Control), Against the Grain is considered by many to be the band's greatest album, and it contains many songs that are constantly cited as the band's best, including "21st Century (Digital Boy)", "Anesthesia," "Walk Away," and "Modern Man."[citation needed] More than just an influentual album, Against The Grain gave many punk fans and many punk bands hope for the survival of punk in the 90s.
Like Bad Religion's albums up to Generator, Against the Grain was remastered on April 6, 2004. The 1990 original version is now out of print.
Against the Grain also marks the 10th anniversary of Bad Religion playing together after their formation.

Greg Graffin doesn't have a very positive view of this song: in an interview he once said that "it's grammatically incorrect, makes no sense, we all hate it, and never play it live."

Greg didn't write this song as Jay did, and it seems that Jay relied a little to heavy some a special book.

Yeah I was wondering, a lot of the big words here make absolutely no sense. Malapropism at its finest.

"Gavel" in the song, does not refer to litigation, but to tribute.
Positive aspect of negative thinking is a reference to Marcuse

Greg Graffin: "Knowledge accumulates over the generations and it slowly erodes mystery and uncertainty."(is belief in God, good, bad or irrelevant?)

Holy fucking shit, every time I hear a Bad Religion song I haven't heard before my mind is blown by the lyrics.
The moral of the song is you can say you're anti war or anti government or whatever and it will never make a difference unless you make a difference.
And also I'm pretty sure it also means action speaks louder than words, and they're making fun of losers who post youtube videos and such whining about stuff and always expecting others to do all the changing for them.
