I think you're about 18 months behind the "guyliner" bandwagon to insinuate that that's an original observation, dude.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

its kinda exciting how baffling & unfamiliar this shit is to me

― and what, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

Usually it's a bit like a hair metal band had sex with a Britpop band who wanted to be the Smiths.

― nabisco, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah well.. I'm still pissed about that ultragrrrl thing where she claimed MCR to be the next Nirvana.

― billstevejim, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

i thought they were

― Mr. Que, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

MCR could've been the next Nirvana before they decided to be the next Spacehog.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

Never mind that the whole heavy metal continuum can be blamed / credited for the punk rock & the hair metal.

[oh ffs w/ the x-posting making my KOTO observations even more pointless]

― David R., Friday, 27 April 2007 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

MCR are the next ICP

― Curt1s Stephens, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

Look closer. They're Brett Michaels.

― billstevejim, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

Well I don't think she meant they were like sonic successors of Nirvana, just that they were what a certain age group had as "Important Formative Favorite Band" material. The main problems with that are that (a) their importance just isn't quite as broad, and I'm not sure anyone's could be the way media's fragmented now, plus (b) I find it hard to imagine any kids experienced MCR as some kind of left-field revolution, the way lots of kids seemed to with Nirvana in 91. (MCR came onto a field that already included lots of generally similar post-altrock stuff, whereas if you were watching MTV in 91 Nirvana would seem to have just popped up from nowhere.)

― nabisco, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:09 (nineteen years ago)

i think gnarls barkley are this generation's nirvana

moss icon! i forgot about them

― Mr. Que, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:12 (nineteen years ago)

Hell, I was already into "college rock" and punk in 91, and Nirvana still seemed to blow in kind of amazingly. It helped that the only other rock things I can even remember being on MTV and radio at the time were GnR and Metallica, the latter of which itself seemed to be crashing the party at first.

NO CAULFIELDS NO CREDIBILITY

― nabisco, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

that was way more exhausting than the first one btw

― strongohulkington, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

Oh snap if Colin Meeder were around to see that...

― David R., Friday, 27 April 2007 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

hee hee!

― strongohulkington, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

i was kinda hoping he was

OMG

― C0L1N B..., Friday, 27 April 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

You should throw that up on cafepress as a t-shirt, jess.

― milo z, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:18 (nineteen years ago)

haha i might actually do a clearer, more hi-res version

― strongohulkington, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:19 (nineteen years ago)

where does Jimmy Eat World fit in

― Curt1s Stephens, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

Ooo, that's another question: is the push to capitalize on emo acts as Top 40 material going to lead to

(a) the creation of a fluid and unshackled new sound that revolutionizes popular music, or

(b) a bunch of awkward collaborations with rappers and hip-hop production teams that eventually embarrass the genre to death?

― nabisco, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:21 (nineteen years ago)

it's already b, nitsuh!!

― strongohulkington, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:21 (nineteen years ago)

your emo theorizing is at least six months out of date

― strongohulkington, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:21 (nineteen years ago)

You can't get away w/ just listing Christie Front Drive & sticking an "et. al." @ the end of that shit, son. MINERAL WANTS RESPECT.

Nabisco, did you hear that corny emo-rap thing w/ the FOB vocalist? (aka what strongo said)

― David R., Friday, 27 April 2007 20:22 (nineteen years ago)

One thing about the nu-metal to emo transition - the emo kids never seemed to get play on the same stations. Fall Out Boy, MCR, etc. are played in Top-40 rotation next to Akon and TI instead of on the stations that were all Limp Bizkit and Korn five years ago.

The alt-rock stations that went nu-metal (and thus active rock) are still stuck in the same cycle as far as I can tell, just another set of droney whiners have taken the stage.

that's sorta true but not entirely...active rock stations definitely play stuff like Three Days Grace and Shinedown (i.e. bands that aren't on the pop/MTV radar at all) more than any of the nu emo bands, but FOB and especially MCR do figure into the same playlists.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:22 (nineteen years ago)

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, Strongo! Maybe the crossover just had a rough start!

― nabisco, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:22 (nineteen years ago)

Nabisco, did you hear that corny emo-rap thing w/ the FOB vocalist? (aka what strongo said)

haha you could be talking about a) Gym Class Heroes b) the Kanye remix of "This Ain't A Scene" or c) the FOB feature on the Timbaland album with this (i realize it's probably the first)

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

haha i love how we're separating the emo men from the boys here by who can fill in the "et al"s.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

xpost YES DUDES the FOB hip-hop border-crossing is what I'm referring to here, and wondering what will happen if anyone else pushes on that one

― nabisco, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

You can't get away w/ just listing ~~Christie Front Drive~~Say Anything & sticking an "et. al." @ the end of that shit, son. ~~MINERAL~~CUTE IS WHAT WE AIM FOR WANTS RESPECT.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

I thought Gym Class Heroes was a new Justin Timberlake song for the longest time.

― milo z, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

i can't believe this thread was revived and is still as awesome as before! kudos y'all

― strongohulkington, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:25 (nineteen years ago)

i still want to know which rap producer FOB were recording with when they broke a 40 oz. and were "kicked out of the hood"

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:25 (nineteen years ago)

Garnier Fructis can SUCK DEEZ NUTS

(woo woo)

MINERAL WANTS RESPECT.

hahahahaha

― Mr. Que, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's endearing that there's a band called "Cute Is What We Aim For" getting serious respeck knuckles from kids these days. It's refreshing after growing up surrounded by Slipknot fans.

― Curt1s Stephens, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

garnier fructis sounds like the name of a singer of a second- or third-tier victory band

― strongohulkington, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

BOYS LIFE WANTS RESPECT
