So, let's see, IPC unwilling to use real writers with a real passion for music, preferring to use crap writers using "music journalism" as a kindergarten stepping stone to reviewing films for the Daily Sport.

Ah well, if you pay peanuts, you know what you get...

some metal dude laughingly recounted to me a story of how at download an "emo kid" had been tied to a chair by a bunch of metal types who proceded to threaten slicing his wrists open. i thought that was quite unpleasant.

you were very complimentary about 'plan b', and they don't even pay peanuts.

the NME has *always* covered EMO bands. i'm certain there have been other covers with the word large style on the cover over the last few years.

The NME discovered emo, what, two years after "The Middle" came out?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:04 (nineteen years ago)

Thing about Plan B is that the payment issue doesn't bother me; I would enjoy writing for it anyway, as I do for Stylus (maybe I ought to think up some ideas for articles and get in touch with The Management). Whereas two years with IPC convinced me that obedient sweatshop writers were all they wanted.

Dom Dom Dom, when are we gonna see an emo character in wrestling? (Jeff Hardy doesn't count.)

― Eazy-Esteban Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

Aren't Ring of Honor doing an emo character with one of their undercard workers? He does a lot of moping about his valet and then gets squashed. Alex Shelley would be a pretty cool emo heel I think, but Paparazzi Productions > anything else in wrestling at the moment so there's no point changing him.

My Chemical Romance are effectively a boy band. And we've been slagging off certain boybands forever without misogyny accusations (because most people agree their songs are shit).

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:27 (nineteen years ago)

Somebody didn't get the memo about My Chemical Romance being this generation's iconic band!

― Eazy-Esteban Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

Amusing to see Dom accusing people of misogyny!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

It's odd to thing that people who loved I dunno, Franz Ferdinand hating My Chemical Romance or vice versa - talk about the narcissism of small differences.

or is, as I suspect, this whole 'war' made up?

What do you think?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

if there is a "war" its more disgruntled hatebreed fans than kooks fans who are on the front line. nme's problem is just that its cycle has just peaked. it's 1997. don't worry, rock will be back in four years

In the NME of 1984 it was WAR ON POP.

Now the author of WAR ON POP slags off anyone who slags off Paris Hilton in a pah-yr-just-jealous-cos-she-rich Simon Heffer style.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

i miss the days of hating on The Promise Ring style emo.

Whatever happened to Neds dustbins?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

i'm pretty sure they played glasgow last year at some point.

He hasn't been well, you know.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

Could someone pls. explain to the US readership exactly what the context for this War on Emo is? Cause I'm looking at this cover and have absolutely no idea what they're on about.

― Sean Braud1s (Sean Braudis), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

Right-wing newspaper decides that My Chemical Romance are actually the cause of everything that's wrong with our youth today, some Kasabian fans throw bottles at Panic at the Disco at a festival, stuff happens.

Wait, really? Is there an article about this I can read?

― Sean Braud1s (Sean Braudis), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, there's an ILM thread on it as well, but...

holy christ, that mail article is jizz. "teenage girls are frightened of manliness: they like boys who look like girls" ... yes, of course. that's why all the girls in my sixth-form were busy shagging me and my sorry-ass be-curtained mates instead of the local toughs with the cars and the skinheads and the DRUGZ.

er, hang on ...

didn't Michelle Malkin or some other US right-wing nut already write that daily mail article? Still stupid.

Didn't they do a "Grebo" cover once? That must be their worst cover ever. Or maybe one of those covers when they were mad about Nu Metal for about a couple of months in early 2001.

Are all the Brummies proud to be the new Yorkshire then?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

It's not the new Yorkshire, it's the new NEW YORKshire. Clever pun there DO YOU SEE. Or can you lot just not read?

So, er, they've found the new Strokes then. Hurrah.
