Gay prole shit for losers & was essentially the anthem of white men giving up all pretenses of ever running this country & set the stage for the demographic disaster we are seeing now

Every few years I pull up this song and see if I can stand it and I think it's worse than ever

Mall emo is a hundred times better than early hardcore emo. Zurich has no ability to appreciate Melody and that's why he puts Style ahead of Substance. Mall emo had Songwriting and catchy tunes and memorable lyrics which is why people who don't really 'get' music hate it. Because if you're in Minor Threat or Rites of Spring you don't really ever have to pen a tune people can hum along to. You can just spill your guts on stage and no one really 'cares' what the music sounds like as long as someone is banging on the drums really hard and a guy is screaming. So you can hate on talented bands that used their skill in life to make lots of money by appealing to millions of people but if you say MCR is somehow 'worse' than Fugazi you look like an idiot.

Green Day is one of most successful rock bands of all time. Most people have never heard of Bad Brains. Not to say that popularity is the end all be all because Taylor Swift is a thousand times more popular than any rock band today. But seriously most people don't listen to Bad Brains and really the only reason it was around is it was part of a scene that gave people something to do and interact with before social media and phone scrolling. Hardcore would have no hope today while Green Day could probably still write bangers forever.

Bro lol black flag and bad brains suck ass.

Do you know why mall emo sounds the way it does? Because they took the concepts that the hardcore scene invented and wrote better songs with them. Do you know why Nirvana was so much more famous than the Pixies or the Melvins? Because Kurt took the concept of grunge, the idea and aesthetic of grunge, and he combined it with nursery rhyme melodies and clever as fuck lyrics. That's why Nirvana is huge and The Buzzcocks are not. Hardcore bands are niche because most people don't want to hear that. Katy Perry songs are written by the most talented songwriters in the world. You don't have to like it but the hooks are like 5 billion times better than Black Flag lol. It's not even debatable.

This dude is a weird, dickless homo with egregiously effeminate hearing and taste. “Wah wah when any amount of detectible distortion is used, or worse when a male voice is loud/raised/angry all melody disappears and I hear nothing. But that’s likely because I can never stop thinking about how badly I crave cocks in my ass and mouth and really every orafice on my body, ideally at the same time.”

HAtp just says that anything he doesn't like is objectively bad but can never give a coherent reason why. his goalpoasts shift constantly. sometimes, popularity ipso facto means that a band is great. but in other cases (rolling stones), that's irrelevant and the music is Just Not Good.

Yeah these were mostly very good in the early 2000s but LCD is incredibly overrated. You could have thrown in bands like Death Cab, The Shins, Animal Collective. AF had three good albums and dropped off heavily. Radiohead were on their downward trajectory by that point but still had a few masterpieces left in them (very rare for any band). I'd probably agree that stuff is overall better than mall emo but the best mall emo bands were right behind em. Then you can get into arguments about when FOB and Panic sold out and dropped off. MCR basically stopped writing songs pretty early on. Incubus was cooked by then. But mall emo was in the mix for sure.

hawthorne heights was always considered one of the worst of the bands of that genre. that song is horrible and i didn't like it back then but in retrospect it is a dumb fun song.

bands like thrice, underoath, silverstein, alexisonfire have always been good bands, and thrice is actually one of the best rock bands of this century.

and i saw every single band mentioned in my poast at warped tour two weeks ago.

Hawthorne Heights was not a good overall band but this song absolutely slaps. Thrice is incredibly overrated. They are musically inept. Ohio is for Lovers is better than any Thrice song.

No hooks. It's melodically poor. This is another aestheic band that had a distinctive sound but I couldn't remember the melody to this tune if I listen to it 400 times. It's astonishing to me how many people can't comprehend melody.

I think people who like their overall vibe think they are the most profound band in history. No one else does. Just think on a grand scale how much bigger deftones are than Thrice. Now think about how most people don't really care about deftones.

Please understand that Zurich wildly skews toward DC punk and hardcore and its appendages, which are cool and influential on later musicians, but don’t really characterize the genre. He talks about it like Rancid as a successor to Operation Ivy but it’s more like the relationship between The Specials and very dorky, poppy, ska of the mid-late 90s that had big chart topping crossover moments like Reel Big Fish. But the kind of people who are into The Specials generally moved on/branched out by the late 80s and always rolled their eyes at the decade-younger-sibling-aged cohort who liked Reel Big Fish. Also the mid 80s DC stuff was 90% a reaction/rebound boyfriend level phase of a scene that was consciously aware in the moment that its prior phase of hardcore bands like Bad Brains and Minor Threat had risen to heights where kids would hear their music for decades afterward. It was mostly the same people in slightly different band configurations conspicuously “trying to go in a different direction” and “challenge their fans/scene” v making more music that resembled or further developed the bands that dominated and shaped US punk and hardcore in the late 70s/early 80s.

I was inexplicably accepted into a group of 4 gorgeous gothlite / emo / scene-ish girls back in high school, and I was positive that they only accepted me because they assumed I was gay and/or retarded and therefore harmless, but then when I found out that one of them wanted me to ask her out (the least alt style one of all not surprisingly because I'm that golden retriever-ish needless to say!), my mind was completely blown to the point that my wholesome self-confidence allowed me to just BEE myself when she first showed me her bedroom, which is to say that I didn't even have to pretend I knew any Cranberries songs outside of (gorgeous) Dreams when I saw the massive poaster on her wall (before I knew she liked me I would have fumbled it by pretending we had something in common that we didn't) 😹

zurich needs to take his truvada cause he got GAPED ITT.

you have to lack any real regard or affinity for music in the first place to immerse yourself in and build your adolescent identity around being a dorky DC hardcore fanboi. no matter the generation, they are always the most insecure, joyless, and personally inartful people you'll ever meet. dc hardcore scene is arguably on the mt. rushmore of music subcultures where the music is almost completely incidental to the 'scene.'

nothing but theater kids minus any sense of taste plus needs a physical outlet that is not sports.

Anyone who genuinely thinks this is an Asian band dork who never understood the 90s and was relieved and delighted when Boy Bands came along and appeared to restore balance and commercial rationality of soulless boomer child molesters dominating record companies and using pop music as their vehicle to advocate for homosexual primacy in the culture like they had in the 80s. These same Asian band dorks also tend to hate Biggie and Wu Tang and think Puffy was a genius producer because of how much gayer he made hiphop.

I understand why poas wouldn't like emo. too autistic to vibe with the RAW EMOTION.

I remember for years I thought my love for emo was just nostalgic since it was my favorite genre as a kid. but one time in college I was tripping on 2ce listening to emo and realized that it's actually just my favorite type of music period, nostalgia aside. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
