some consider the offspring a punk band, some consider them a pop-punk band. i hate both terms really, i hate any label thrown onto music other than a standard genre which just makes it easier to catogorize and recognize a certain style. everythings falls into these catagories to me: rock, rap, dance. thats it, because i could care less about stupid labels. im tired of hearing arguments about whether or not a band is punk/pop-punk/hardcore-punk or metal/hardcore metal/speed metal/trash metal/black metal, old-skool rap/crunk/commercial-rap/gangsta-rap, pop/electronica/techno/disco, or hard-rock/classic-rock/indie-rock, or other labels like emo and alternative. and dont get me started on emo...* the only time i'll use a label other than the main three is when a style crosses over; ie. goth/industrial can be both dance and rock music. also Quote lol the singer for the cure is kinda a spaz --- End quote --- but a spaz that can write amazing lyrics, music and has an incredible voice. his talent with multiple instruments and arrangements is something i look up to Quote EasyCure has had the most winning post in the thread so far. --- End quote --- i win! *its not even a form of music its a damn fashion style of skinny guys wearing makeup, girls pants/shirts/ and the most ridiculous haircuts i've ever seen. you're not sensitive for wearing eyeliner and crying it off, you're not dark and mysterious by hiding one of your eyes behind your stupid hair and you're not non-threatening becuase you dress like a 12yo/girl and sing like one too. learn to be a man, if you want to be a woman just get the operation over and done with. if you want to be a musician learn to play your goddamn instruments and get good singers. im tired of this whiney nasaly screaming. not all emotions are about girls so stop singing about how much your heart hurt when you first got dumped; get over it. grow up.. CUT YOUR LAWN NOT YOUR WRIST. also i dont care if your dad doesnt love you thats no excuse to cut yourself, not that anyone believes you do anyway. grow up.. CUT YOUR LAWN NOT YOUR WRIST. cutting is a serious problem among youth and i think its flat out vulgar that emo as a trend idealizes such a thing. (and i'm looking at you HIM with your stupid razorblade logos and whatnot. there are more artistic metaphores you can use to express pain) now, if you're like me you might want to listen to these two songs before your head explodes: Mindless Self Indulgence - "You'll Rebel To Anything (As Long As Its Not Challenging)" MC Lars - "Signing Emo" |

I agree though with emo fashion (and metrosexual fashion as well) becoming quite common a guy like me, who ten years ago would just look routine, starts looking exceptionally manly and tough in comparison. So I'm all for it. |

i never thought of it that way, you have a great point. i dont have much in the facial hair dept but as long as i have a bit of a shadow i look ultra rugged compared to some of the wimps i see around town. a toast to being manly |

Quote Originally posted by: EasyCure everythings falls into these catagories to me: rock, rap, dance. --- End quote --- These three labels make a mockery of the bands who decide to blend musical styles and create their own sound, because they get pidgeon-holed along with everyone else. For people who are fans of a given genre, they like to be able to distinguish between styles. Because there is a huge difference. Example: Sublime (someone else mentioned it in here, bravo sir). Depending on what song you were playing at the time, you could be hearing a hip-hop song (Doin' Time), a reggae song (Boss DJ), a rock song (Santeria), a cover song (Rivers of Babylon) or even a hilarious song about date rape (even though he now takes it in the behind - DATE RAPE ) Considering that they've covered a good two-thirds of your categories, do we invent a fourth, fifth, six, ad infinitum. Am I hitting my head against the metaphorical wall here or what? |
