Does This Song Suck? Eve 6 - Inside Out

It's time for everyone's favorite series of Cortex articles! Today we discuss Eve 6's "Inside Out."

Today, I continue posting random songs to this Cortex platform to ask Shackers the same question. Does this song suck? Today's song is Eve 6's "Inside Out."


Reasons it might suck:

  • The music is lazy and uninspired butt rock
  • The lyrics are embarassingly bad
    • So Cal is where my mind states, but it's not my state of mind
      • God awful
    • Want to put my tender, heart in a blender, watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
      • They literally put a heart in a blend in the music video. It is embarassing
    • Tie me the bed post
      • Ok...
    • Rendezvous then I'm through, now I'm through with you
      • These guys sound like creeps
  • It's raining inside of a diner in the music video for some reason
    • Is there only one table in the diner?
  • Lead singer appears to be breaking up with his girlfriend at the yellow diner
    • The way he looks at her makes me uncomfortable
  • Lead singer's orange hair is offputting
  • This song is not available in most karaoke bars

Reasons it might not suck:

  • 20 million views on YouTube
  • The waitress in the yellow diner is pretty cute
  • That one breakdown is kinda cool
  • That kid in the suit is kinda neat, I guess
  • Origami is neat
  • One of the band members is wearing an Ohio t-shirt

Eve 6 Ohio t-shirt
It's a fine t-shirt.

Before you weigh in on this important question, check out this acoustic performance of the song:

Also, just look at this guy one more time.

This guy sucks.
This guy sucks.

The question I pose to you, Shacknews... Does this song suck?

      Nah, it's still alright. Even that video wasn't terrible compared to some of the other recent contenders of Does This Song Suck!

        Probably not as engrained as that orange hair dye is on the lead singer’s noggin.

        Same. Can’t help it. This song probably played once every morning for a few years straight on my bus on the way to school. I had never seen the video for it.

        I might short circuit a lot of cortex articles in the future but in general 90’s alternative does not suck, simply because I grew up on it.

      Its a great little bopper. Next do Stroke 9 - "Little Black Backpack" to keep the numerology theme going!

      I dunno.. I just never got into all these "alternative" 90's songs. For example, the next song Youtube was recommending was Semi-Charmed Life which is yet another 90's song that's not necessarily sucky, I wouldn't listen to it.

      I'm going doesn't suck but not my bag.

        The thing is that I really like a decent amount of 90s alternative music. There are just some songs that I think suck. The bands rode the wave, and now YouTube recommends them to me after I listen to a good song.

      The best eve 6 song is from the beginning of Can’t Hardly Wait- Open Road Song.

      Every one of your arguments is valid, and accurate. However. when I was the douche playing an acoustic guitar and singing drunk at parties, girls would ALWAYS request this song. Unlike Shacknews, which promised to get me chicks, this song actually delivered. Therefore,"Inside Out" does not suck.

      Pretty sure I did a structural analysis of that album in college. I haven't heard that song in a long time.

      I feel like the term "butt rock" has slowly come to encompass literally all rock music, or at least all rock music that people dislike. Since I mean this Eve 6 song is pretty clearly an overwritten pop punk song.

      It used to mean something pretty specific, like a particular kind of 80s hair metal, but I guess it's kind of like "classic rock" in that the definition naturally keeps expanding.

      Anyway the real question is why would you ever listen to "Inside Out" when "My Own Worst Enemy" exists
