I've seen references to many jr. high schoolers that are into MCR and stuff—I don't think it ever went away.
idiot high schoolers liking terrible music doesn't really refute my point :shifty:
Still mad about that superior Desolation Row cover eh?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Speaking of ska, its detractors, and defenders: https://music.avclub.com/if-emo-can-be- ... 1846778697
I saw that yesterday, good article on the current ska revival.

but, also, i think it makes a fairly obvious error in the title suggesting emo has been "rehabbed" in any ways. Awful genre.
I have a soft spot for the 90s stuff. Sunny Day Real Estate, Promise Ring, Cap N Jazz, etc...
They were much more punk and less polished than the stuff that followed though.

I'd expect a lot more understanding of the distinct ways that that the first and second wave were incredible on this site in particular.

Because if they were included they would be headliners. ;)

We played the aftershow party a couple of years back with XSLF. I think we're probably not "punk" enough for the main bill.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

A long time ago, when I was hired to do research for a prof, I was reading Variety for its early coverage of rock n roll. I came across a piece that argued among rock n roll's dangers to the nation was … poor fuel efficiency in cars. Teenage drivers, consumed by the jungle rhythms of that sinister musick, would tap their feet while driving, causing the car's fuel flow to be unsteady. I assume that it all ends with the hammer and sickle flown above the White House.

Indeed. Thanks a lot, early Elvis fans.
