How the hell did you guys get into that dorky shit anyway?
I know its called GAMINGWORLD but holy shit that stuff was like the soundtrack to mom and dad's basement

Hahah well I hadn't really listened to much music so I was very easily convinced when people told me JOHN PETRUCCI IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD but yeah I wasn't as into it as other people and the vocals never did click fully. Metallica had that special place in my heart, "REMEMBER THAT BIT WHERE LARS PLAYS DOUBLE KICKS LOL? HE IS SOOO GOOD" .

I'm way different now anyway ~~wu tangrulz~~

though I haven't listened to it since I stopped liking them.

I'm curious as to why you 'stopped liking them'.

Mostly changing musical taste. From what I can remember of them they still have good songwriting, and the Kids Aren't Alright is a pretty great song. I'm sure listening to it again will not be the worst thing ever, and it might be a nice change of pace from what I'm currently interested in (Magma, King Crimson, Tool, heavy metal, jazz, prog rock, etc) but probably what will also happen is I'll get bored after four or five songs. That's probably the reason I don't listen to them anymore is that 1 i overlistened way back when and 2 the songs are too simple to keep me interested for too long.

holy crap intelligent discussion

in that case dp you need to open your third eye, as some comedian once said

and incubus is not tolerable more than cutting your nails with blunt nail clippers is tolerable

I think incubus are just one of them plain old modern rock groups or something, I can't recall a specific genre being tacked onto them.

i'm completely serious, i'm congradulating you on your decision to not engage in every argument, because some thing don't really matter and you are able to differenciate between them. that's a sign of maturity, also i'm being a dick don't worry about it

i'm really glad you mentioned the wonder years, jojoface. i love those guys, that band. they're fun and i'm all about that. i just found out the other day a classmate of mine is cousins with the bassists. i was wearing one of their hoodies, hahah.

i like pop punk, but a lot of it's really trendy. a lot of them do a lot of the trendy mallcore/metalcore screaming and breakdowns and whatnot that ruins it. even the wonder years is guilty of this, unfortunately.

Yeah, I would actually love to do that. I would also love to do one on Second Wave Emo(OH SNAP, SHEPPARD ATTACK).

which one's the second wave because back in the day I was pretty badly into taking back sunday's first album!

well first wave is like fugazi and sdre and shit so i imagine second wave would be like the bands that were around in 98/99. that was around the time jimmy eat world put out clarity, and that was a pretty big album in that scene, but it was also different enough from what emo originally sounded like that it i'd call it the second wave. so yeah probably like late 90s and early 2000s

Yeah. Well, it's more mid-90's to early 2000's. Jimmy Eat World's Clarity is a huge album in the genre, but bands like Christie Front Drive, Boys Life, Cap'n Jazz, The Appleseed Cast, Braid, Knapsack, Jawbreaker, Mineral, Texas Is The Reason, and Sunny Day Real Estate dominated it. First wave is more like Rites Of Spring and stuff.

speaking of cap'n jazz and the appleseed cast (this guy toured with them), anyone who likes talented folky acoustic music should check out mike kinsella's acoustic solo work, owen.

really you think so? i would group sdre with fugazi/rites of spring (i could not think of their name when i made that post) as being first-wave shit. they didn't really sound exactly like them but i identified them much more with the initial movement than with the one that came like five years later. maybe you are right though i don't listen to emo at all pretty much. also the problem i have with second wave shit is that a lot of it sounds really laughably homogeneous. there are bands that are a CUT ABOVE THE REST like capn jazz and american football, but really so many of the BIG EMO BANDS were pretty fucking unexceptional. people just seemed to take whatever they could get. but yeah second wave emo is seriously like some of the most formulaic music i have ever listened to.

oh, i saw owen first, ha. all of those bands are good imo (american football<33) but i saw mike kinsella on tour with the appleseed cast and acute so i found him prior to all his group work.
