Anti-Emo
Ok, this whole teenie-whinner thing has got to stop. New alternative emo bands are popping up faster than the rate people is dying from anti-depressant drugs overdose every year. And they all sound the same - guitar cheng cheng chang chang *i wake up this morning and find myself crying* cheng cheng chang chang *i go to school and girls don’t want to talk to me* cheng cheng cheng chang *my parents never understand me, they just dont’t listen. drum dum dum bang band cheng chang cheng. Oh God please!
I miss those days when quality and heart-warming lyric is accompanied by lovely, real melody tune (no, cheng cheng cheng is not real tunes). I am not saying that all punk bands suck big time. Power chords playing sounds like the best thing ever when Greenday and Sum 41 rock the scene. Relient K is ok. But now everyone just seems to overdo it. And don’t even get me started on screamo + emo genre. The worst double-mo ever!
I miss Josh Rouse, Elliot Smith, The Verve, Blur…. But then maybe I am just the younger version of our uncles and aunts who just can’t seem to stop worshipping Gun & Roses, Def Leppard, Sex Pistols, Neil Diamond or Elvis. Ok maybe not Elvis.
Here are some really nice indie alternative songs, come higly recommended by me.
- Nightmare of you - Please don’t answer me
- The Elliot Project - Without You
- The Hononary Title - Revealing too much
