The point is that we were so entertained by this drippy emoish song with incredibly shallow lyrics that we actually listened to the whole thing in morbid fascination. Then the song finished and the DJ said: "That was Papa Roach with [Insert name of song here, I can’t remember now.]" We both switched quite promptly from laughter to violent screaming.
I still have very strong memories of listening to Papa Roach on the radio back in the late 90s. I’m assuming everybody remembers that "Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort" song. As overplayed as it was, I really liked it at the time (I’m not fond of that sort of music anymore, but I still maintain that Papa Roach was a hell of a lot better than the other bands of the sort like Limp Bizkit). I simply cannot believe what they have descended to.
Maybe the band just decided they wanted to go in a new direction with their music. But I have a really hard time believing that that new direction would just happen to be a sound that is just beginning to hit the height of its trendiness, that dozens of other bands have cropped up on the radio doing in exactly the same way in the past year. Especially when they are Papa Roach, the super tough numetal band with the creepy cockroaches on the front of their album. I mean, I know their lyrics were always really angsty and emotional and all that, but the feel of the music was completely different.
People get on the cases of pop stars like Hillary Duff and Ashlee Simpson. But I don’t think what they do is really all that bad. They may not really be talented musicians, but they don’t pretend to be. They are what they are: Singers who are there to look pretty and sing other people’s songs decently. They are much better than bands that get to a certain level of popularity based on a musical style that they loved and made their own, and then jump ship as soon as it isn’t popular anymore, leaving their existing fan base in the dust. I’m not saying you can’t evolve or even overhaul your musical style for artistic reasons. I’m just saying that isn’t what happened here, and it’s not what happens a lot of the time, and that’s pretty fucking sad.
And yeah, Papa Roach sucks. Glad you got the memo.
Nah. It’s just that they really are terrible. Ever hear them sing live? Besides, I do look crap bands/singers. Bleh.
Then their second album came out and all of a sudden they were all dressing completely differently and making themselves out as PUNK ROCKERS! I never really liked their music very much, but I liked the guys based on what I heard them saying on the radio, so I was hugely disappointed. =\
and I’ll try to find the name of that Papa Roach song, I heard it on the radio too and it made me cringe listning to it.
But now I wanna hear this song so I can laugh.
FAO: Lord Abortion.
Nothing would ever call for "Emo Extermination Part 2." Sorry.
Getting Away with Murder isn’t horrible but isn’t that great either.
Not Listening (which was on the trailer for Resident Evil: Apocalypse) is pretty good though I think.
Nothing would ever call for "Emo Extermination Part 2." Sorry.
Yeah, "Emo Extermination" was pretty bad. But it amused me. hehehehehe
Now as far as the emo fad I think abounch of bands are starting to do it just because its in right now. Personally my favorite band is The Used and even though they were always slightly emo it used to be passed off as being melodic. I mean I think everyone right now is trying to point the emo finger. Like if The Cure just came out right now people would try to call them emo. Its just critics being critics. Its never musicians that make up these cute little names like emo, metel-core, screamo, nu-metal etc etc…

good 1
OH, LAFFO.
Goes something like "I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut. I TEAR MY HEART OPEN JUST TO FEEL"
or some shit. was really stupid emo.
I tried to think of a semi-eloquent way to phrase this, but the words aren’t coming. So meh. Suffice to say, I agree with you. Pop artists like the ones you mentioned don’t bother me at all. I don’t want to listen to their songs, but it’s pretty easy not to.
I hate hate hate it when something manufactured to the point of silliness is marketed as "real" music though.
This is probably going to sound dumb, but I feel like it gets in the way of kids discovering a lot of awesome music. Or something.
Maybe I shouldn’t try to post this early in the morning.

you brainwashed mother fukkers. you suck, ya fukkin’ cookie cutter emo kids!! papa roach isn’t following a fukking trend, i didn’t know if you knew this you dumb fukks, but papa roach has changed their style before.. not to fit in, because they wanted to try something new. they’ve been working on this new album (getting away with murder) for quite some time now. i don’t think they went into the future to check for the new "trend" and then went back to apply it to the album. i don’t know if any of you bitches has taken the time to listen to the album, but Scars is probably the only one that seems to "drip with emotion" as one of you sorry losers said. All the songs are in your face and powerful.. they don’t all talk about sadness and shitt like that. which surprised me that you didn’t like it, cause i know that’s what’s so in for you hXc emo kids!
anyway, yeah someone said Dboy was a good drummer. damn fukking right he is!!!! at least somebody knows their shitt. tobin and jerry the guitarists, are freaking awesome.. they’ve been playing the same way they always have, and given it their best. and damn straight, coby is one hell of a vocalist biatches!!!!! he has worked soo hard on his vocals and even his amazing weight loss. he lost 30 pounds and quit drinking. now you little shiteaters, dont tell me he’s trying to be straight edge. his wife had another baby and he’s trying to clean up his act. he has a happier and healthier life now, so sorry if he’s not RAP-METAL anymore. he’s not as angry as he was when his life was harder.. thus leading to more solid rock music, instead of those slick angry rhymes he had back in the day. so, interperet as you wish, even though you’re very very wrong you douchebags!!! papa roach, in no way tries to be something fake, produced, or manufactured to become a trend in the mainstream or whatever. you little fukkers piss me the fukk off, so what if papa roach is "mainstream". does that mean it’s bad!? oh wait, of course it is! i remember the emo rule now… if it’s not underground, then it sucks!!
do they not associate with you? sorry if they have more energy, maybe cause they haven’t been cutting their wrists and crying in a corner like some people. aaanyway, Getting Away with Murder has been classified as a ROCK album, not an emo album. even the critics call it rock, thank you very much. and someone said they werent good in concert, are you that fukkin stupid!?!! THEY ARE A LIVE BAND. that is their specialty, to perform for a crowd and blast their fukking energy into the fans. they are one of the BEST live bands ever, it’s a proven fact! and you know what? they’re going to Korea to perform for the troops and they’re helping big time with the tsunami relief fund.. OMG they’re such sellouts!!!
GOD you emo geeks piss me off!! it’s like you guys refuse to break the emo rule and do something that.. oh my God!!… a lot of other people do!! *GASP* you don’t have to hate something because all the other nerds hate it too. ok, well i said what i needed to say! now, you can all get back to dying your hair black and picking up those razors! so, thanks for your time kiddies, and you can suck my fukkin asss!! ๐

Haha, i heard that on the radio today. Just that main part. I lol’d and turned it off.
As far as the main topic, I’ve only heard the Cut My Life Into Pieces song, so I can’t really judge.

fanboy? i think so
you emo kid? i think so
you emo kid? i think so
you fuckin moron? i think so.
your automatically assume anyone that doen’st like what your FANBOY ass doens’t, that they are emo. what about the gangstas who listen to rap. or the rednecks listenin to country..
just shut the fuck up
I mean, I know their lyrics were always really angsty and emotional and all that, but the feel of the music was completely different.

Yup! What "said bands" are you talking about though, exactly?
Mr. KissmyNUMETALass: Calm down, junior. I wouldn’t want you to have a hernia or anything just because somebody insulted your favorite pop stars.
u dont know shit about anyone, you just assume that people that don’t like your shitty taste in music are emo. get the fuck over yourself, your nothin but a high and mighty jackass
FUCKING.
F-U-C-K.
NOT FUKK.
And what exactly is a gangta?
I was asking what a gangta was, not a gangsta.
and i put "fukk" cause i wanted to be respectful.. i thought there were little kiddies here, i wouldnt think older people would be sad enough to devote their time to a mystical video game..killer! like omg!! but wow, anyway that’s alright now that i see there’s just emo kiddies. so.. fuck fuck fuck.
OH HO
while tru, if theres one thing i can’t stand, its thinking shitty bands/artists are talented, when if fact they have no talent at all. while this particular case is not as bad as say, an Ashlee Simpson fan, or some other manufactured bitch that can’t sing or write, you get the point. its fans like that, that fuck over people and bands that have some actual talent. but yea. i guess he can like them, i’ll just be emo like he says and go cry in the corner or somethin
ok…. don’t compare papa roach to ashlee simpson you dickhead. papa roach has talent.. they’ve gone platinum i can’t even count how many times anymore! they are a grammy nominated band, and they play sold out shows constantly… and you’re telling me they dont have talent?! i wonder why they do so well, shitface.

sorry, i forgot that if you sell lots of albums and sell out your shows you automatically have talent….*goes back to corner with tears in eyes*
All of which Britney Spears has done. By your logic, she’s talented.
ok i’m bad with faces sometimes, but did you post a picture of the Darkness
not at all. but apparently, that’s what you think since you made the assumption. the only reason she sells out shows is because of her image. she’s attractive, she is the role model to naive little girls, and she’s a slut.. sex sells, doesn’t it? assume what you want. just like i’ll assume, or should i say.. come to the true absolute conclusion that you guys are sad emo nerds. now go write a poem about how cruel the world is.
and the darkness? they suck, they’re such a one hit wonder. well i guess that’s cause i only go with what everyone else is saying, isnt that right emo kids?? oh by the way, good news for you guys! they’re selling "emo razor blades" on ebay, so guys.. don’t worry! there’s plenty for all!
