theel, the song's clearly about drugs, well, getting over them, i think. the whole ...we won't stand for hazy eyes anymore... bit, the whole bit about being tired and sick, the ...So good at setting bad examples. Listen, trick, I've had all I can handle..., the part about being smoked out in the back of a van...and then there's the double entrendre of ...The finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time... to each his own, i guess, but this song seems to me to be pretty cut and dry...it's about getting past an addiction. |

heh...this song is so funny. such a great sXe song... i was playing this song before physics this past year, and this doper girl who listens to mest and good charlotte and thinks she's punk rock asked me who it was...and i replied "one cool guy"..."oh yeah, i've heard of them, what's this song about?"..."being sXe"..."eww god, they suck!"...she never had the experience of an OCG show. OCG played the first show i ever went to. i saw them a bunch of times...was too sad they broke up. good to see some of them have new projects now. i saw mike a few months back at a show my friend put on and i helped with...it was funny, as i was wearing an OCG shirt hehe, and i got out of my car and he was right there. anyways, good times. great song about being sXe; the only way to go. ocg, we miss you :( |

...nothing gold can stay 1999 from the screen to your stereo 2000 nfg 2001 sticks and stones 2002 and once again... i have diary and some other cd by SDRE and i have some mineral songs on a burnt cd and well lets just say after audio galaxy died no more pedro the lion how is it name dropping when these bands are mainstream?... nothing gold can stay was 98, straight off of the drive thru site...maybe you want to argue with the label that put out the cd? prob. not. and those bands aren't mainstream. and that's just what i figured...you dl'd a couple of songs. woot! lol...do you shop at hot topic, too? haha ...and on the punctuation.. sorry this isnt english class and sorry i dont feel like correcting all my f*ckin grammer but you know i do have music to make ... well, i apologize. it's just hard to read incoherent babble, that's all. ...how the hell can you call midtown punk ? or the starting line? they are about as punk as our lady peace or opeth lmfao and if you dont listen to hardcore then dont tell me whats hardcore and whats not especially since you think finch is punk have you ever heard more than one of their songs? and im glad that you know midtown i know hopesfall and big blue monkey and one of the koolest people you will ever meet is wednesday 13.... so go back to listening to your msi or your blink or your limp bizkit because pansy sh*t doesnt sill well with me ... how can you call midtown or the starting line anything besides pop-punk? have you heard midtown's new album? can you say generic? and i listen to some hardcore. i just don't claim to be the world's greatest expert on it, as i'm not. kind of like someone who claims to know emo shouldn't comment because he doesn't know what he's talking about...nudge nudge wink wink :) i've actually been listening to finch for a while, and yes, they're still pop-punk with some screaming. i've heard both their LP and their EP. does that count as one song? and the whole thing about knowing of midtown before they were midtown wasn't meant to instigate a p*ssing contest with you. it was just to show you that i didn't need a history lesson from you because a) i already knew it and b) you didn't know what you were talking about. once again, you have no idea what i listen to...so really, please, stfu, k? i'm done with this. you've wasted more than enough of my time and everyone else's that has to read your incorrect verbal spewage. reply if you want, i don't care, but you won't convice me that i'm wrong, as i'm not...all you'll do is convince everyone else you have even less of a clue about music than you do (hint: stop now. :) ) |

...drive thru records has the bands midtown the starting line finch something corporate and shit like that none of which are punk at all new found glory surely is pop punk along with allister but they are still on a dominatly emo label..... thanks for the history lesson. wasn't really necessary, though. i actually knew midtown before they were midtown, as a bunch of the guys were in a great band called nowhere fast previously. their parents came to their first show as midtown; it was rather cute. so yeah...you don't need to try to teach me anything :) and all those bands are pop-punk bands. anyone who has a clue would tell you that. scroll up a bit to xjkx's comments. he/she knows what's up. FOR THE RECORD: i will do my best to interpret they rest of your verbal diarrhea. the lack of punctuation makes it tough, though. ...and yes i do listen to hatebreed and i would never be caught dead listening to catch 22 or earth crisis that sXe bull sh*t and grade and thursday arent emo like i said they are emocore and by the way thursday has 3 vocalists and one thing you will never see is violent emo... question: wouldn't emocore be a division of emo? like skacore is a subdivision of ska? you're shooting yourself in the foot here. also, does having 3 vocalists set a band apart? just wondering what, if anything, you were trying to prove here. oh, and a lot of older emo has somewhat less than happy lyrics, fyi. :) ...saves the day has a few songs that are violent but thats about as violent as you get real emo is along the lines of mineral SDRE pedro the lion and sh*t like that emocore is once adgain like i said emotional hardcore finch being hardcore is emocore sorry buddy but nu metal is sh*t like factory 81 and taproot... ohh...someone read up a little. namedropping mineral (great band), sunny day (great band), pedro the lion (brilliant)...question though: do you listen to this stuff, or are you just namedropping? i think the latter. finch isn't emotional hardcore...i've already stated it's pop-punk with screaming with the sole subject matter being girls. i don't know enough about hardcore to name emotional hardcore bands...xjkx does, though, and he/she did so. ...and if you want to talk sh*t about finch then im me because at least finch has the f*cking taste to do a song with darryll palumbo which in turn is the best f*cking song that has ever been produced on drive thru or mca and if you think taking back sunday is punk then get a f*cking life... i wouldn't be content with a vocabulary consisting solely of the f-bomb. nor should you be :) and taking back sunday, i don't know how you'd define it. ...you heterophobes punk is pennywise rancid and black flag and sh*t about the poppiest think you can call punk is nofx and nfg and no "emo" is mineral "emocore" is glassjaw and "metalcore" is converge poison the well dillinger escape plan god forbid and sh*t like that if you think emo is in any part similar to that sh*t then youre f*cking moronic and your ignorance is palpable .... you, for one, shouldn't be talking about ignorance. name-dropping some more bands, i see. ...and i do agree screamo is rather like emo core but once again SDRE and mineral are emo and they are not hardcore what so ever fugazi was not hardcore imo and if you think you can label music then what is the band big blue monkey? what is tool? what is slayer? what is dead poetic? what are the used? lets see you classify them... for the record, you were the one claiming taking back sunday was an emo band. so you were the one trying to classify. i just stepped in and proved you wrong, that's all. frankly, i don't care about your bands and don't feel the need to classify them. you, however, have been filed under: "i want to play with the rabbits, george" ...oh and by the way... hatebreed is on universal now they have a new cd in case you havent noticed and about the new found glory being good 4 years ago.. their first cd was released in late 1999 which is less than 4 years... i don't listen to hatebreed, so i don't care. and i picked up the new found glory cd back in 10th grade. i'm going to college in a week...so that's like three years...my mistake. what a big one it was. point was that they were decent back then. that's all. and *nothing gold can stay* wasn't their first cd, for the record. sad thing is you're too stupid to realize that you've lost this argument. /sigh |

...victory records is best known for grade and thursday even though bands like hatebreed are on there and drive thru is nothing but emo... umm...as of two months ago, victory was best known for catch 22, hatebreed, and earth crisis. but then again, you weren't listening to this stuff two months ago. and i just went to the drive thru site to check up on what bands they have signed now, and i can assure you that all but one band (rx bandits being the exception) are pop punk bands. ...finh is emocore and if you dont think so then go listen to your fucking punk trash... do you have any idea what i listen to? i said i listened to finch. good lord, you're so quick to jump down my throat. i like thursday. i like a few of taking back sunday's songs. the difference between the two of us is that i know a lot more about music than you do and i don't feel the need to, err, compensate by calling people names and mis-labeling music. maybe enya has emotional lyrics but do they have the guitars to back it up? umm hell no emo CORE = emotional hardcore okay...again, ever listened to "hey jude" by the beatles...emotional, check. guitars, check. is that song emocore? it would seem to be so, under your definition. please, for the love of all that's holy, get your definitions right! and if emocore is emotional hardcore, why are you calling finch emocore? finch is pop punk about girls with some screaming every so often...not emotional hardcore. finch is hardcore but its emotional and if you want to call a cat a dog watch nickelodeon for god sakes you white trash oh and by the way big blue monkey kicks ass and tbs sounds NOTHING like thursday what so ever i graduated from nickelodeon years ago...wish you could say the same. why you called me white trash, i don't know. i have more class than you'll ever have. your parents obviously didn't raise you very well, as you constantly belittle people and are completely ignorant about music. so yeah...watch the insults :) something about the pot calling the kettle black? heh. hope i didn't sit you down too hard :) kk, thx, drive on thru :) |

lol...taking back sunday is on victory records, yes/no? that's traditionally been a hardcore label (earth crisis, anyone? lol)...is catch22 thus a hXc band because they are on victory? i think not... finch is on drive-thru records/mca, yes/no? that traditionally was a decent label, all poppy punk/ska variety stuff...now it's gone full swing generic crap. i like finch, don't get me wrong. but to call it emo or emocore is the equivalent of calling a cat a dog. wayne newton has emotional lyrics...enya has emotional lyrics...they aren't emo. they aren't emocore. you honestly don't know what you're talking about. and save your money...don't go see that concert. finch=halfway decent... *a* new found glory=good about 4 years ago... something corporate=why euthanasia should be legalized... further seems forever=eh, okay /rant off |

"it was 3 am and I really wasn't trying. I could dissect YOUR punctuation but I haven't the time to waste. " excuses, excuses...there really was nothing wrong with my punctuation. if you're talking about the ..., that's just a thing i do. everything else is correct. you don't have the time to waste, yet you go on to write a good 5 or 6 paragraphs...? "mainstream, I think is basically anything thats popular and might I add AGAIN that I don't KNOW ANYONE who even knows this song besides myself. you are merely an angry kid, I've known alot of people like you. You have shown my no truths today. " are you saying you like the song solely because no one you know of likes it? if so, that's still exactly the wrong reason. you're not proving anything by being the only person in your town to like a band. people like that sicken me. i really don't care if all 260 million americans listened to mineral's "gloria" and loved it...as long as they loved it because they truly appreciated the art that it is. understand? i'm not just merely an angry kid, as you put it. you can't pigeonhole me like that. the funny thing is that you'll probably respond to this telling me i'm wrong without even reading what i wrote or taking the time to understand what i'm trying to get across. but then again, in this culture of superficiality and quick fixes, isn't that the norm? /sigh... and i can assure you that you know no one like me. "I love music but I like to allow people to enjoy whatever like want. I'm not the music nazi. What did I say was deep? Yes, I follow you, but according to that you should be talking about music that IS deep to you. Have you nothing to say about it?" i'm not a music nazi either. i'm just trying to coax some fricking individuality out of people here, that's all. listen to something corporate if you really like them...just don't listen to them because it's all the rage these days. frankly, i don't see how people can actually like this; that's why i've taken a stance here. i can talk to you all you want about music that i find to be deep, enriching. i could tell you how songs have changed my life and how, a lot of times, a song will get me through a day that's for a different discussion though :) "It wasn't juvenile, but you have been on many accounts. No it wasn't my best attempt, I could do better if I wanted to. Attack your opinion not your person?! I believe you have attacked my person several times in this post! ANYONE ELSE notice that?? Maybe you think only you are privledged enough to attack someone personally. Read YOUR OWN thoughts about attacking ones person." haha, yeah, i did notice the hypocrisy after i posted that. oh well. heat of an argument type thing, i guess. so we both should follow that advice, agreed? :) "guess that goes for you too... Yes I COULD win a verbal sparring match with you and pick apart everything you say BUT I won't. Not b/c I can't. You WANT people to argue, you WANT to cause "controversy"." not really, as a lot of what i posted wasn't dribble. i did throw a few little punches in there for good measure hehe. but you're still not getting it...if you'd been part of any ska/punk/emo scene, you'd know about unity. it's what people strive for. unfortunately, everyone's always bickering and unity will never be realized. it's not that i want to start fights at all; all i want is for everyone to heighten their awareness of themselves and to wake up. that's still not getting through, is it? (and, for the record, bring your "a" game. you want to argue, let's go ;) ). "What I was trying to say was, seeing as how you seem to think so highly of your intelligence and musical tastes, I would think you ought to know better than to be making assumptions and judgements on people you have never even met. No, asking people to re-examine why they do things is not too much to ask for. Telling people they are stupid is not the way though. Do you really think by telling us we're stupid and trying to tell us who we are is going to change minds? " eh, i really don't think that highly of my tastes. i like what i like, that's all. as for the last part, yeah, you might be right. however, i guess if you look at it from a psychological standpoint, it makes sense. if a kid is scolded by his mother for making a mess, eventually he'll learn, right? and honestly, you'd be surprised how many private messages and emails i've gotten telling me i'm right on the ball. "Yes, they do. We can both agree on that. I actually do very well in that subject. You can believe that or not. Again notice how he attacks my intelligence, great way to win an argument. Perhaps he feels insecure about his own intelligence and feels the need to "flaunt" what he has and demean others. " nope, i just keep saying over and over how my intentions aren't to offend or demean or anything like that...my sole intention is to get people to stop conforming to what they feel they need to conform to. i want people to be themselves. thus, i wasn't really trying to demean you. you just haven't seen yet that that is my message, even though i've said it bluntly quite a bit. so the comment about your reading comprehension skills wasn't so much an attack as it was the truth. harsh, i know, but do you understand what i'm saying? and i'm secure with myself, don't worry about me :) "Believe it or not, you are not going to "steer" anyone away from their musical tastes if they are secure in their likes and dislikes and with who they are. " one last thought: "secure...with who they are"...how can someone be secure with something they don't know much about? again, that's the point here. that is all. and i realize you'll reply and whatnot, again attacking what i'm saying, i'm sure. for the record, i realize that this could go on ad infinitum, so this will be my last response to you, madrigal. feel free to respond if you like. have a nice day :) |

madrigal, i could start by saying that i refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person... or i could say that grammar and punctuation are your friend... but i'll actually dissect the verbal diarrhea that you posted :) "Against merely for the sake of being against the "mainstream"." well, if you understood what the mainstream was, wouldn't you be against it, too? but then again, you don't...i realize that my words ring true and the truth hurts. i'm sorry about that :( "Grow up, there are more important issues than what music I (or someone else) chooses to listen to." music is important to me. it isn't to you, obviously. that's the issue here. you can't say something is very deep when it's not important to you. following this yet? "I'm nearly 20 though, I am my own person whether you like it or not." good for you. i'm almost 19. "YOu can "speak out" against songs all you want, perhaps you have nothing better to do with your time so you like to start arguments. I did that when I was 12 too." no, i have tons of better things to do with my time. and really, making that juvenile insult was quite puerile. was that your best attempt? honestly, if you're going to take issue with what i say, attack my opinion, not my person. it's a classic stalling tactic for those who have no idea what they're talking about and know they have a snowball's chance in hell of winning a verbal sparring match. "Have you ever considered how shallow it is to make judgements on people you have never even met?? I guess your "oh so much better and deeper music" didn't tell you that... " unlike how you seem to be, i don't let music tell me what to do (touche). listen...here's the thing. all i want is for everyone to re-examine why they do things. is that too much to ask for? it obviously is for you. i'm sorry, really, i am. it's not shallow in the least...in fact, i'm trying to steer everyone away from that. then again, i guess reading comprehension skills go hand in hand with literacy, don't they? /sigh |

amen, sapphire... it's the reasons, kids...the reasons. why do you like this song? i can tell you exactly why i listen to anything that i listen to. i can tell you pretty much exactly why i think/say/do anything that i do. i'm comfortable with who i am and i believe that i know myself pretty well. it's good to take time out of every day to examine one's self and one's goals and mindset. that's all. rather than hearing this song and being force fed it as "the greatest love song of all time" (gag me now), listen to it and take it for what it is. my humble opinion is that this song is bad, yes. this is why it's hard for me to understand why people just automatically love it and are able to apply it to every single situation in their lives. i'm sure that if people took the time, they would find music that meant more to them, personally (and probably they'd find music that'd sound a ton better, too ;) ). so just expand your horizons. don't let anyone else think for you. that's all i've ever been trying to say. rock on, darkestsapphire :) |

"so tell me xnj.. why you're wasting your time writing so much stuff bout a song you say is just "plain bad"? if you dont like it dont comment." for the simple fact that i'm trying to get you to see the light. and how will things ever change if no one voices their feelings? i'm free to comment as i see fit. mlk, jr. didn't like what he saw in america...has anyone (not including members of fascist groups) ever said that he shouldn't have cried out against the injustices of racial prejudices? he didn't like what he saw, but i think we're all better off because he "commented". hard analogy, i know. but it applies :) |

| see, lissakittie, that's the thing. i have been there. and this song just isn't it. i'm sorry. there are tons of other songs out there that mean something. this one just doesn't. i have every idea what those feelings are that you're talking about, unlike most people my age. but gah...this isn't it. not by a long shot. it's just a bunch of garbage, trying to sound lovey-dovey. like i said before, it's like listening to small animals get run over by cars...that's how bad this guy's voice is. and his lyrics...don't get me started on those. "see spot run" was more eloquent. this song just isn't brilliant, though...and should you really be experiencing love, you'd realize that this song is just plain bad and has nothing to do with it...either that, or your music taste is just, well, bad. | |

"I don't give a s--t who you are or how original you think you are, the only reason people don't like this song is because they're just plain stupid or can't relate. Enough said.=) " nope. the reason i don't like this song is because it is pretty meaningless. listen to it. first of all, the lyrics sound like something a 12 year old would write. not all simple lyrics are bad (see "bad diary days" by pedro the lion), but these are trying to sound pretentious and meaningful...and they're not. secondly, this guy's voice... ::shudder:: he's trying to sound all emotional, but it comes off like nails on a chalkboard. so yeah, call me stupid. at least *i* can say that i don't like this song and give you reasons as to why. can you tell me why you like this song, besides "it's deep" or "i can relate"? kk, drive on through, next please? I fully agree with mLe. so it is true. beware of stupid people in numbers. njbrokenhearted, if you're trying to change other people, it's because you're not comfortable with yourself and need some followers. Now how f---ing original are you? haha. psychoanalysis? how far off you are. i'm really comfortable with myself. no joke. see, the thing you don't get is that i don't want followers for myself or anyone else. that's the catch. i want you all to follow what you want to do, not what someone else tells you to do. sigh. |

"ok...you know what? all the people who think they can just come in here..criticize everyone who appreciates this song and tell them they are a bunch of mindless idiots - you can't even begin to comprehend how ignorant you are." i think doing crack is stupid, too. if you're doing crack, i'd say you're a mindless idiot, too. this isn't ignorance. i'm simply an opinionated person, who has a clue. "Sometimes i like listening to that new Pink song and jump around and go crazy...sometimes i listen to something corporate because i can really feel a lot of their music...i listen to whatever the f--k i want to, i listen to what i like. This makes me, me. Your not going to change my mind but trying to tell me what i am. I don't even know quite who i am. " i like that new song by nelly. it's not what you like. you're not getting it. "I am disgusted nj, that you could come in here and tell everyone that they are numb, ignorant and stupid when every human being is so complex in character...is that what you really think of everyone who has ever sung along to a song on the radio? Everyone that has ever just heard of a band once they make it mainstream? Oh yes, i forgot...you know of all bands in the universe, you have never listened to the radio or watched mtv and your s--t doesn't stink." well, i went to the bathroom this morning, and i can tell you that the last part isn't true heh, but anyways...i don't know of all bands in the universe. now you're putting words in my mouth. i *completely* understand that it's hard to argue with reason and that it's also hard to fight a losing battle, but try not to put words into my mouth, k? thanks. i grew up on nirvana, bush, stone temple pilots, i.e. the radio. my tastes grew and expanded, and they still are. i learn of new bands all the time. for the record, i sing along to songs all the time. it's a release for me. and honestly...do you really think people are that complex? some are, i'll admit it. but with 99.9% of the population, either there's no complexity or they just choose to hide it. (that shot down your other point right there...i didn't say *everyone* was stupid, just the vast majority). so let's rehash this...say all of these people are complex, they just hide it and try to be something else. are they being themselves? are they being superficial and easily influenced and mindless? do you even have to answer those questions? "Your post made me absolutely sick , and while i think that you do have a good point...not everyone in the world takes music as seriously as others..and can't bother to listen to bands that aren't as accessible. " sorry i made you sick. i'm made sick daily by the vapid waste that is the teenage subculture of america. hope you were close to a toilet, though. "All of you that think you are in an upper class because you think that your music taste far surpasses others- don't be so arrogant. its not attractive. " being vapid and unoriginal is far less attractive. "My biggest belief is to be yourself and don't let anyone else tell you who you are. So all of you offended by NJ's post take no notice. He doesn't know you, he has no right to tell you you are a brainwashed, clueless teen with no respect for music. " sigh. you need a history lesson, too. i have every right to say that, so long as it isn't libel (big word there, look it up). it's protected by the bill of rights. and sadly, i do know a generic you. i may not know you personally (thankfully, i might add), but there are lots of teenagers out there just like you. isn't that what you wanted anyways? "nj- wheres the love?? I've heard of freedom of speech, but please make it a bit more thought-out ..you have a point...but everyone is different, whether they like it or not. " that's the thing. everyone is different. so why are they all caught up in being just like everyone else? boggles my mind. funny thing, you ask where the love is. i'm actually one of the nicest people i know...but i can't stand ignorance. that's all. |

i think doing crack is stupid, too. if you're doing crack, i'd say your a mindless idiot, too. this isn't ignorance. i'm simply an opinionated person, who has a clue. :) i like that new song by nelly. it's not what you like. you're not getting it. well, i went to the bathroom this morning, and i can tell you that the last part isn't true ;) heh, but anyways...i don't know of all bands in the universe. now you're putting words in my mouth. i *completely* understand that it's hard to argue with reason and that it's also hard to fight a losing battle, but try not to put words into my mouth, k? thanks. i grew up on nirvana, bush, stone temple pilots, i.e. the radio. my tastes grew and expanded, and they still are. i learn of new bands all the time. for the record, i sing along to songs all the time. it's a release for me. and honestly...do you really think people are that complex? some are, i'll admit it. but with 99.9% of the population, either there's no complexity or they just choose to hide it. (that shot down your other point right there...i didn't say *everyone* was stupid, just the vast majority). so let's rehash this...say all of these people are complex, they just hide it and try to be something else. are they being themselves? are they being superficial and easily influenced and mindless? do you even have to answer those questions? sorry i made you sick. i'm made sick daily by the vapid waste that is the teenage subculture of america. hope you were close to a toilet, though. being vapid and unoriginal is far less attractive. sigh. you need a history lesson, too. i have every right to say that, so long as it isn't libel (big word there, look it up). it's protected by the bill of rights. and sadly, i do know a generic you. i may not know you personally (thankfully, i might add), but there are lots of teenagers out there just like you. isn't that what you wanted anyways? that's the thing. everyone is different. so why are they all caught up in being just like everyone else? boggles my mind. funny thing, you ask where the love is. i'm actually one of the nicest people i know...but i can't stand ignorance. that's all. |

egad...i went away for a month or so, hoping that maybe people would suddenly grow more intelligent. i apologize, it's my fault for expecting competency. kids, i know this is the new rage. i know seventeen did an article about how to be emo (a cd player and sneakers, good god, that's EMO!). i know you all have copies of jimmy eat world's "jimmy eat world" (that isn't the title of the cd, you know...at least, not the one i got on 7/24/01, but hey...never to late to jump on the bandwagon, right? or you could have been a true fan and have been listening to them for years...but why do that? radio/mtv didn't tell you to, that's why!) and dashboard confessional's "the places you have come to fear the most" (did anyone know that came out over a year and a half or so ago? and the song "screaming infidileties" isn't about his liking her hair? didn't think so). i know you all can REALLY feel the emotion of the lead singer of *SoCo* (see? I'm hip, too!) as he sings his awfully heartful, deep, thought-provoking lyrics. i know you all can relate it to those deep, meaningful, week-long relationships you all have. kids, this isn't emo. this is corporate, pre-packaged slop. it's kind of sad to see drive thru go so downhill...they really had promise a few years back (cousin oliver, mothermania, etc.). now you have generic crap (starting line, something corporate, etc.). kids, crying to meaningless shlock like this doesn't make you emotional. wanting that one hot girl at that party that you all got trashed at a week ago doesn't make you sensitive. anything that seventeen magazine said, don't believe. just go out and listen to something new. to that one person that said they were glad to see something corporate before they got popular, well, did they play shows before they formed? they've been nothing but poppy crap since the day they began. i could list a slew of bands for you all to go out and idolize, but a) you probably wouldn't understand it, b) you wouldn't listen to them because carson hasn't told you to yet, c) it would probably throw your limp bizkit/britney spears mind for a loop. but seriously...if any of you don't want to be mindless drones, just stop. you don't have to be part of the crowd. "whenever you feel like a wasp in the swarm, you've gotta get away any way that you can" - op ivy dare to be different. dare to be yourselves. dare to think for yourself. dare to really love someone and lose him/her. sadly, 99.9% of you are just so numb, ignorant, or just plain dumb to comprehend what i'm saying, but hopefully, some of you out there get it. |

TheAlmightyMagz, better than ben folds five? /emotes puts a gun to his forehead. you have got to be kidding me. ben folds is a brilliant songwriter, his lyrics meant something, and he didn't sound like he was whining to his prepubescent friends. do people just not have any clue anymore? |

cherrypunkker07 & jrc224, know what the sad part is? i'm a *prep* (god forbid, khakis and polo shirts...lacoste and brooks brothers and polo...egad!). i've been listening to this stuff (amongst other stuff) for years now. i know tons more about it than both of you. i actually get it. the two of you are more like the stereotype that you're saying stuff about than i am. moral of this story: don't label (especially when you have no clue what you're talking about) |

stop posting that darn something corporate banner... you're just feeding the machine. might as well post a banner for the next britney spears cd. "when you feel like a wasp in a swarm, you've gotta get away any way that you can" ~ operation ivy sometimes i wonder what it'd be like to have my every thought controlled by the media...but then i realize that being a tool would be awful. |

mineral....good :) ohh...and the gloria record, of course. texas is the reason...tres bien. how about american football? and a little sunny day real estate and jawbreaker...yum. i'd tend to disagree about fugazi being mainstream, though. not very many people know of fugazi, and i live right near new york city, so it's not as if i'm in the back hills somewhere. there might be three people who know of fugazi at my old school. i mean, sure, you might see a lot of shirts at local shows, but i also see a lot of local band shirts...yeah, i'm not trying to argue with you, glenn, just saying that i wouldn't say fugazi's hit the mainstream like, say, *A* New Found Glory has. and yeah, i don't like it when the music i listen to goes mainstream, not for the reason that i feel less cool, but for the reason that people just don't get it. there's that scene in high fidelity where the dad comes in looking for a record and jack black's character flips out because the dad doesn't get it. that's all. it's okay and all. certain bands will never be touched by the masses (thankfully) and the masses will move on in a short amount of time. |

a song that defines a generation? i surely hope not. if it is, why was i born in 1983? ::shudder:: and for depressing, try "radio" by alkaline trio or "sea anemone" by jets to brazil...trust me, you haven't seen depressing yet :) |

err...yeah, thanks for rehashing all i said...telling people what to think and voicing one's opinion are completely and totally separate from forcing beliefs on someone else... but you didn't get that far. i'm not forcing my beliefs on you...i'm not making you agree or disagree with me. sigh. |

umm...glam rocked...i'm not a moron...and i'm given the right to tell people what to listen to and what not to listen to (hint: it's in the bill of rights, ever think of that? yeah, didn't think so). whether or not you choose to listen to what i have to say is your decision. so yeah, i'm allowed to voice my opinion, which, i believe, is quite an educated one. i said nothing about being trendy or ew or get away from me...you're putting words in my mouth. all i said was that something corporate is, well, bad, and that there is tons of better stuff out there and it's there for you to explore and enjoy, as long as you like it for the right reasons. wow. it really is hard to argue with reason, isn't it? next please :) |

heh, girlsullen... ever heard of a little thing called mtv or the radio? yeah....they're telling the masses (i.e. you) what's cool to listen to. i don't care whether or not you like the music (in fact, i hope you do, but not something corporate)...only thing that i care about is that you like it for the right reasons...that's all... |

i really don't get why something corporate is so popular right now... in my opinion, their lyrics are extremely generic and simplistic. the music is blah at best. and the guy's voice is so fricking awful...he's trying so hard to sound all emotional but it just makes me want to hit him because he's trying too hard... seriously, there are millions of other bands with lyrics about *heartache*...for good piano-driven stuff, check out ben folds and ben kweller, to name a few...but please don't listen to this absolute awful stuff... not like this'll have any effect anyway, since it's the *cool* thing to listen to now...but egad...come on people... |

heh...two quick things to think about... how many people have the "bleed american" version of the album "bleed american"? not sure when they switched it to s/t because i got mine on the day it came out, but something to ponder... did anyone read the TIME article about "emo"? made me gag... and as for dashboard confessional...screaming infidelities is really one of the most lacking songs. it's the most shallow one, in my humble opinion...coincidence? i think not...but at least some people get it. for the love of god, listen to other dashboard confessional songs because they're works of art and beautiful ones at that...don't listen to it because mtv and your local radio station are shoving it down your throat telling you it's the next big thing. and try to move past the initial "oh, it's so good...it means so much to me...i can relate to it so much because my really hot ex girl/boy friend of two whole weeks ditched me for this other girl because i didn't where the right labels"...heh...sad how pathetically true that is. and it's not that i don't want chris to make money or to spread his music. i just can't stand the legions of zombies that follow whatever mtv has to sell them that week...thank god i saw the light years ago :) to quote jello biafra: Hi, I'm your video DJ. I always talk like I'm wigged out on Quaaludes. I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go. My job is to help destroy what's left of your imagination by feeding you endless doses of sugar-coated mindless garbage. So don't create; be sedate. Be a vegetable at home and thwack on that dial. If we have our way, even you will believe this is the future of rock and roll... and what a sad sad future it'll be. so yeah...don't label. i happen to be a really preppie kid (like polo/brooks brothers, not abercrombie crap). does that mean i shouldn't be able to listen to certain kinds of music? absolutely not...don't be force-fed anything. like it if you like it, not because everyone else does. be an original, or don't be. seriously...enjoy the music for what it is: beautiful and emotional and wonderful. and to those of you that get it, bravo...to the rest of you who'll be making fun of those of us who have been listening to this stuff for years in two months or so when mtv has moved on to the next big thing, i pity you. /rant off sorry if i sounded like a jerk :) |
