hey... don't laugh at the sad emo girl! :p the first time i heard Dashboard was in '00, my friend had their old EPs and i listened to those nonstop. then in '01 i was hooked on the 'Welcome To The Family' compilation CD from Drive Thru records which has my favorite emo song of all time, Something Corporate's 'Konstantine'... i still remember the first time i ever heard it, it made me cry!
see i wasn't "emo" in the sense that i wore thick-rimmed glasses and wrote sad poems and wore eyeliner and posted "artistic" black & white photos on myspace or livejournal... i was emo in the sense that i sat around being sad while listening to sad music. the whole emo fad nowadays just seems like something people do to be cool or fit in with a group, and it doesn't really seem to be about emotions.
when i moved to Milwaukee in '02 i left my emo past in NY and took on a new obsession with a music genre that evoked more positive emotions... ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC.
so yea, i guess you could say it was a pretty intense jump... goin from Dashboard to Ferry C, lol. :D
edit // just remembered another one of my favorite emo CDs: Juliana Theory 'Emotion Is Dead'... "You Always Say Goodnight, Goodnight" was another 'Konstantine'-esque song for me. |
oh jesus it scares me how much i can relate to this post...
right down to "konstantine" :eek:
i saw dashboard in concert too... pretty tight!
and yea emo girls are relatively easy lol
-will! |

I expect the emo comments, so go ahead and say them if you feel like. |
you're fine bro. It's natural to hate living where you're at.......especially if you have no control over it.
being emo isn't just venting.......it's a way of life. It's those fukers who cry all night and have ty hair cuts...:wtf:
so I won't be making fun of you.......for at least today ;) |

A band that sings about sad subjects is ok.....
...and band that makes a habit to ONLY sing about sad subjects and how it feels to be a teenager (ESPECIALLY if they are in their late 20's)
now THAT is emo.
i mean ........it's like,
Band leader:
"yeah guys, we suck as artists. We're not great musicians.... but i have an idea! Let's appeal to all the whiney bitches of the world....especially the american crowd because they are the whiniest and the bitchiest of them all...and sing about how life sucks!!!!! Everyone will love us!"
Lead guitar:
"yeah!!!!"
Drummer:
"Yeaahhhh!!!"
Bassist:
"why do you guys get all the girls?!?!"
