I must be EMO

Eh, emotive hardcore (emo) har ingenting med svarthårede kvasidepressive scenestere og deres mtv-mote en ser portretert som emo i dag. Emo er i mine øyne en av de mest spennende subkulturer amerika har forstret, sjekk gjerne ut Guy Picciotto (Rites Of Spring, Fugazi) så kanskje du forstår hva jeg mener. He he, jeg skal alltid kverulere rundt det du foretar deg her inne. Ja ja.


Mvh

Ti år senere kom screamo inn i bildet, Saetia:
Sikkert litt over toppen for de fleste, men langt fra dagens utvannede komersielle versjoner rettet mot pubertetsforvirrede jenter og guttunger.

Mvh.

Tenk det.
Altså virkelig emo, ikke emo slik du oppfatter det etter MTVs markedsføring av begrepet for å kunne selge innholdsløs sutrerock av typen MCR til angstridde tenåringer og det marked de representerer. Det er et enormt skille.

"M.T.V.-Get Off The Air"

Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair
Flame up the herb
Woof down the beer
[click!]
Hi
I'm your video DJ
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go

My job is to help destroy
What's left of your imagination
By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage

So don't create
Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe
This is the future of rock and roll

How far will you go
How low will you stoop
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill

You've turned rock and roll rebellion
Into Pat Boone sedation
Making sure nothing's left to the imagination

M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the air
Get off the air

See the latest rejects from the muppet show
Wag their tits and their dicks
As they lip-synch on screen
There's something I don't like
About a band who always smiles
Another tax write-off
For some schmuck who doesn't care

M.T.V. Get off the air
And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
"It's the new frontier," they say
It's wide open, anything can happen
But you've got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
When you're too god-damn conservative
To take real chances.

Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
Instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record companies now

The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The dumbest buy the mostest
That's the name of the game

But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

M.T.V.-Get off the air!
NOW
