Why they might be annoying:

    Like many other bands, their frontwoman goes by the same name as the band.
    They are very popular with depressed teenage girls.
    Their name is confused with Opeth, although they have a very different sound.
    For a woman, Otep's vocals are quite harsh.
    Their stage show features severed pigs' heads.
    Otep claims her age as 'five lifetimes old.'
    She challenged Slipknot's Corey Taylor and Korn's Jonathan Davis to a 'poetry slam.'
    They come across as being a bit pretentious.
    They are heavily pierced and tattooed.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They offer information on their website about a variety of topics including rape, suicide, depression, pregnancy, etc.
    They played Ozzfest '02 and '04.
    Otep survived being abused and molested by her father.
    Otep said, 'We have a unique message, a unique vision, and we communicate it in a way that people are hungry for. It's something authentic, something sacred. It's the sweet disease of empowerment.'
