"I always make fun of KISS because I don't particularly think their music is anything"
About this Quote
The line also doubles as a bit of self-positioning. Carrot Top, a performer often treated by critics as a novelty act, picks a target that embodies arena-scale theatricality: makeup, pyrotechnics, merchandising, maximalist spectacle. KISS is less a band than a brand, and calling their music "anything" quietly suggests the brand is the point. Its the classic comedian move of puncturing pomp, but it also reads like a knowing wink from one showman to another: I see the machinery.
Culturally, it taps into a long-running rock snob reflex - the suspicion that the loudest, most merch-savvy acts are selling theater in place of substance. Carrot Top's phrasing keeps it casual, almost bored, because boredom is the punchline. He is not outraged; he is unimpressed. And that posture, more than the opinion itself, is what makes the jab land.
