"We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be"
- Amy Lee
About this Quote
This quote by Amy Lee suggests that the media has a tendency to appoint religious labels to bands, even when they don't always relate to any specific religious beliefs. This could be due to the truth that numerous bands have spiritual styles in their music, or since of the individual beliefs of the band members. It might also be since of the media's desire to categorize and identify people and groups in order to make them easier to comprehend. By saying that her band has never been religious, Amy Lee is recommending that the media's attempts to assign spiritual labels to her band are misguided and unreliable. She is likewise implying that the media need to not be so quick to designate religious labels to bands, as it can be deceptive and can result in misconceptions.
