I'm also really annoyed when a singer says "Yeah" or "Uh" or "OH OH OH" or "La La La" in their songs. Fucking time fillers eith stupid improvised lyrics that aren't even words.
The same criticism could be said about extreme metal bands. On paper their lyrics might be intelligent and poetic, but the vocal style turns it into a sequence of meaningless grunts and screams that's there because it's an established genre trope, and it fits the harsh and aggressive nature of the music.
Furthermore, filler lyrics are far from unheard of in more traditional or lighter types of metal. For example, see White Zombie and Rob's love of the word "Yeah!".
