I assume you're referring to yourself reporting the death of the drummer of a pop-punk band none of us would be caught dead listening to?

No seriously…


…what happened to Mr Belding??

can we use this space to discuss what the fuck is going on with kids and their rock music these days?

all i see on myspace is profiles with names like "pull my still beating heart out so i can taste it while you slowly kill me" and all these emo clone bands … is this really what kids listen to now? why?

i'm just happy white sexy virgin added some comments. that really meant alot to me

I will not cast aspersions on emo. I wouldn't be surprised if I were an emo kid should I have been born in 1987 instead of…sometime much earlier. The small bit of it I know has a power pop sensibility, and some of the whining lyrics are probably along the lines of those I so appreciated in my college rock/alternative (I don't even know what to call the music I listened to growing up…) listening. And I just don't know enough of it, or what really constitutes emo, to know what the hell it is comprehehsively.

Ditto to hearing from "Can we meet when both our cars collide?" Nice touch on a posting about a band member dying in a van accident.

I'm not even talking about emo, per se … i actually really like early "emocore" groups like braid and sunny day real estate ….

i'm talking about this bastard off-shoot of metal-type bands with these horribly over-wrought lyrics and these crazy kids on myspace who love them, i guess you could call that emo, but it's not the emo i know

where's flawd when we need his expert commentary …..

Isn't that scream-o?

And aren't the teenage years all about being over-wrought?

sounds about right

sure, but there's a difference between over-wrought like "if a double decker bus killed the both of us …" and a myspace profile titled "fucking wring the last ounce of blood from my body" with some smiling 15 year old kid on it

all of this is just old-fart grumbling anyway, i'm not looking to justify my rants =)

If we're talking about the Senses Fail, Hawthorne "cut my wrists and black my eyes" Heights, and My Chemical Romances of the world, then yes, I think that is the correct term.

my favorite is 'fashion core'
