homohop

That Kanye remix of "This Ain't A Scene".... that's not too pretty.

i admire fallout boy's efforts to reach out after the hawthorne heights debacle

― latebloomer, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:15 (eighteen years ago)

I misread as hip hop vs. eno, that's a more interesting topic

― Edward III, Friday, 9 March 2007 17:41 (eighteen years ago)

Why not have both?

You got emo in my hip-hop/you got hip-hop in my emo

― Hurting 2, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

Cause the Small Brown Bike + Mr Lif track on Judgment Night 4 will be rough going.

BTW one of my favorite In Living Colour sketches ever was the one with the black guy and the hassidic Jew next to each other in the movie theater - "Get yo' matzah out my chocolate!" "Get your chocolate out of my matzah!"

You got emo in my hip-hop/you got hip-hop in my emo

Seperately, please. I don't think I've heard any combination of the two that doesn't make me cringe in horror.

waht is hawthorne heights debacle

― gff, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

hawthorne heights tried to stage a mass aryan youth rally to bum rush best buys everywhere when its last album came out in order to make it go number one so ne-yo (i think it was ne-yo) would not.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

if it was, like, mcr, i would have been less offended, but hawthorne heights really does suck.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

You are out of touch with the chilluns, Ethan.

― The Reverend, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:52 (eighteen years ago)

thankfully (and obviously) ne-yo "won"

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

Ha! I totally forgot about Hawthorne Heights VS Ne-Yo FITE! The Heights really do suck something awful.

― The Reverend, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

oh yeah i remember that!! yes, the street team email was leaked, ok alles klar

― gff, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

i would have liked to have seen the shins actively campaigning for its thirtysomething listenership to buy its last album in order to make sure they beat pretty rickey

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

this no xpost thing is just awes

― gff, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

guys when is pop punk going to end?

― gff, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

MUST WE FLING THIS BARECHESTED POP-R&B FILTH AT OUR KIDS??

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

dude pop-punk is awesome. don't hate.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

James Murphy to thread.

― The Reverend, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:56 (eighteen years ago)

and the new fall out boy et al albums really have nothing to do with pop-punk. for better or worse. usually worse.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:56 (eighteen years ago)

look i love mcr as much as the next pathetic side-switcher but really that singing style is just awful

― gff, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

well i'm just indemnified to the singing style after listening to so much of this shit for so many years

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

it's not like i give it all a free pass or anything but it's not instant vinegar to my ears like it is to many folks my age and older

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

I'm really pissed off I can't find that recently vougish LJ pic that says "I'm so goth my skin's black" right about now.

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 9 March 2007 18:59 (eighteen years ago)

for what it's worth new lcd soundsystem record is probably the most emo goddamn thing i've heard all year

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:00 (eighteen years ago)

i try hard not to let it be just a kneejerk reaction, but all of that post green day/blink 182 overenunciating wordiness just sounds so dorky. i can get that it's part of some kind of everykid appeal. and i used to be a bad religion fan!

― gff, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:01 (eighteen years ago)

dom i'm not pissed you can't find that pic

― gff, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:02 (eighteen years ago)

i still have a weird kneejerk reaction to it sometimes. i am weirdly resistant to a lot of pop-rock hitz of our new millennium until repetition wears me down.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:04 (eighteen years ago)

"wait a minute...this doesn't suck...it's awesome. oh god, no."

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:05 (eighteen years ago)

really tho, when is it going to be over? it's been a good decade since "dookie," that's a long time to rule the aesthetic roost. of course since i don't like this stuff much i'm sure i've missed any of the genre's twists and turns. so,

the new fall out boy et al albums really have nothing to do with pop-punk you say? how so?

― gff, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:17 (eighteen years ago)

gff try renting american pie 2

― and what, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:19 (eighteen years ago)

screeching weasel never woulda put out an 80-minute concept album about, like, cancer and shit, man.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:19 (eighteen years ago)

scaramouche, scaramouche.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:19 (eighteen years ago)

haha my fifty-year old housemate watches eurotrip at least once a month!

SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW

― gff, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:21 (eighteen years ago)

much like ethan's assertion that if you try to trace a line between, like, whoever -- the funky four and trae -- you will see that hip-hop has obviously in no way stayed in one place for the last thirty years, it's a pretty big gulf between "beat on the brat" and "the black parade."

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

shit it's a pretty big gulf between "dammit" and "the black parade."

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

is 'teenage dirtbag' emo?

― and what, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:38 (eighteen years ago)

teenage dirtbag is more like some late-90s novelty alt-rock leftover that no one discovered in the record label's vaults until 2001. like your beloved harvey danger.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:48 (eighteen years ago)

i'll rep for harvey danger even when everybody's comin to get me

― and what, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:50 (eighteen years ago)

dude i love that song

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:56 (eighteen years ago)

i dont even remember what i put on the s. trife pop-punk primer now

― strongohulkington, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:56 (eighteen years ago)

the only non-mallpunk song i liked was the buzzcocks joint

― and what, Friday, 9 March 2007 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

"The Black Parade" sounds like a '00s Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 10 March 2007 06:20 (eighteen years ago)

that ugly singer freak from my chemical romance does kinda look like an emo corgan

― latebloomer, Saturday, 10 March 2007 06:31 (eighteen years ago)

I've been saying for ages that My Chemical Romance are just the Smashing Pumpkins for kids who are too young to remember the Smashing Pumpkins.

Trend of the Year: Mainstreamo

By: Andy Greenwald

December 24, 2003

Last year, Gerard Way was struggling. His band, My Chemical Romance, had just recorded their debut record -- the operatic and emotionally dense I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love (for tiny New York City indie Eyeball Records), but they were still slogging it out in a wobbly van, getting lost (numerous times) and getting robbed (once). Then last February, My Chemical Romance went out on their first national tour, opening for the Used, and a funny thing happened.
