Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:pod_4861.jpg\|frame]] [[P.O.D.]] is a [[Nu ~~Metal~~-metal]]/[[Alternative Rock]] band formed in 1992 in California. The band is an example of both [[Nu ~~Metal~~-metal]] and [[Christian Rock]]. In later years, however, the band shifted from its original [[Rap Rock]]/Nu Metal sound toward a more [[Alternative Rock]] sound, with more singing as opposed to rapping, and lighter instrumentation. {{Discography:}} * ''Snuff The Punk'' (1994) * ''Brown'' (1996) Line 11: * ''Testify'' (2006) * ''When Angels & Serpents Dance'' (2008) ---- {{creatortropes}} ~~Tropes:~~ * [[Adaptation Expansion]]: "Alive" has a music video that starts with a car crash, throughout the video more of the driver's life is shown until you can understand why he feels 'alive for the very first time.' * [[Alternative Rock]]: Their later work. Line 18 ⟶ 19: * [[The Blind Leading the Blind]]: Discussed in the song "Youth of the Nation". * [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: In "Sounds Like War": {{quote\| ''Sounds like it's war to me:''~~<br />~~ ''Peace, love and casualties.'' }} * [[Christian Rock]]: They're more subtle than most bands in the genre, though. You can still enjoy the band, regardless of your faith. This is probably the reason why they are one of the more successful examples; see [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] below. * [[Drop What You Are Doing]]: Discussed in "Know Me". * [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Of a sort. Since the label "[[Christian Rock]]" is essentially a kiss of death for any band looking for mainstream fame, the band writes lyrics in such a way as to avoid making direct references to their faith, while making it clear that they're believers. It worked well enough that subsequent Christian rock bands (such as [[~~Flyleaf (Music)\|~~Flyleaf]], Skillet and [[~~Creed (Music)\|~~Creed]]) have done the same thing. ** They get crap past their [[Christian Rock]] fan base on several occasions as well. "Lights Out" contains the line "we tore the roof off this mother". "On the Grind", featuring members of "secular" hip hop groups Psycho Realm and Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., is PG-rated [[Gangsta Rap]] replete with references to violent thuggery and "pimpin'. The same song unambiguously mentions the female genitalia in its first verse. On several songs the band refer to themselves as "OGs" (original gangsters). The mild profanities "hell yeah" and "damn" show up on "If It Wasn't for You" and "Kaliforn-Eye-A", respectively. Their early song "Live and Die" samples a line from "Gangsta Gangsta" by [[~~N.W.A. (Music)\|~~N.W.A.]], "And here's the plot: takin' niggaz out with a flurry of buckshots." * [["God Is Love" Songs]]: Or "Jah Is Love Songs", as their lyrics would say, with "Jah" meaning God. * [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You]]: "Boom" lyric "'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you" * [[~~The Matrix (Film)\|~~The Matrix]]: "Sleeping Awake", a song they recorded for "The Matrix Reloaded". * [[New Sound Album]]: ''Payable On Death'', ''When Angels & Serpents Dance''. * [[Nu ~~Metal~~-metal]] * [[Rap Rock]]: Their earlier work. {{reflist}} [[Category:Musicians]] [[Category:~~POD~~P.O.D.]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Christian Media]]
