See, that's a whole other debate right there, about what's socially acceptable and what's not. I'm not going there... this thread is subjective enough without taking it down another rabbit hole.
Agreed, on the base morality level it does appear worse to not have a reason. But the way I see it, when a band holds up their hands and admits that they're just attention seeking, they're also admitting that they're aware of the immorality that goes with that. For me, Numenoreans paper-thin reasoning just doesn't hold water, and I have no respect for such dishonesty.
