These kids look like their parents have a shitload of disposable income and like they have never worked a job a day in their lives. Something about it lacks the traditional grit of a real band trying to make it. The production is incredible but the songwriting is very bad. |

Date: August 20th, 2025 8:44 PM Author: Edgar Allan Poe ((zurich is stained)) Emo is a sub genre of hardcore music, which is diy, indie labels, etc. that band you mentioned is some warped tour/hot topic type band. I don’t consider those bands to be punk. They play “punk sounding” music.
Get up kids might be another contender for goat emo band. I don’t really like them, but they were huge |

Date: August 20th, 2025 8:56 PM Author: RE: About AutoAdmit (slop til you drop) Why do you hate on a band because their songwriting is polished, the singing is good, the melodies are excellent, and the lyrics are great and memorable? It sounds like the only difference between emo and Midwest emo is that in the latter the music is patently not good and not many people like it. Why do people like you insist that for something to be authentic it has to have exactly 3 fans and not be tolerable to the average person? Yes, bands like MCR and Green Day got incredibly famous. But wouldn't you also say that they achieved a lot more artistically than some obscure band with 1000 spins on their biggest song? You do realize that the reason this music is not famous is because it doesn't connect with a wide audience for specific reasons pertaining to the quality of the songwriting. Do you get that or do you actually think songs that are melodically inept are actually good? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5764348&forum_id=2:#49199099) |

at the end of the day, there is very little objectivity involved with music though, so these debates are always silly. i've gotten into it with friends trying to convince them that kraftwerk, the fall, etc. are good and it's pointless. |

Date: August 20th, 2025 9:56 PM Author: RE: About AutoAdmit (slop til you drop) Yeah you're entitled to know the most about some obscure subgenre but to me it's like people who vote for a third party candidate. You can argue all day long about being for Jo Jorgensen or something but when you attack people who vote for the two choices with a chance to win you look silly. You're the one who lashed out and called mainstream emo bands mall music, which is an intentional dig at their lack of authenticity and the intelligence of their fans.

Date: August 21st, 2025 11:19 AM Author: RE: About AutoAdmit (slop til you drop) It's not that simple. Good Charlotte was a particularly talentless mall band who barely showed a hint of artistic integrity. If you put it up against Blink or Green Day it would be a landslide. But I don't know any sensible people who rep Good Charlotte.
Conversely Fugazi truly sucks. So I don't know where you even go with that. They were not good lol |
|
Date: August 21st, 2025 11:20 AM Author: Edgar Allan Poe ((zurich is stained)) you make a strong case for fugazi sucking.
similarly strong case for blink 182 being better than embrace. hard to argue, to be honest.
thing is this, you use objective metrics like "songwriting" "is this melodically inept" and "how many records did they sell" and you have it more or less down to a science. |

Date: August 21st, 2025 11:25 AM Author: RE: About AutoAdmit (slop til you drop) I really do I'm just incredible.
Did you know Fugazi won't do an interview in a magazine that has ads for tobacco or liquor? Tho brave.

Date: August 21st, 2025 12:05 PM Author: See Ex. C at Bates No. 000001 (gunneratttt) this is a pretty stupid comment. theres no way to objectively analyze songwriting. it's subjective. what we can look at is how many people enjoy the songs. if the songs are good, they buy more, hence the artist is a better songwriter.

Date: August 21st, 2025 12:07 PM Author: RE: About AutoAdmit (slop til you drop) Conversely, everything that has no fans or exposure is inherently authentic. The fewer albums you sell the more gritty and raw you are. If you only have 5 fans you are a true artist who will never sell out, unlike all of those cookie cutter mainstream acts which churn out hits like Big Macs. The only way to ensure you are really authentic is if no one likes you. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5764348&forum_id=2:#49200510) |

Date: August 21st, 2025 11:46 AM Author: Edgar Allan Poe ((zurich is stained)) the reviews are to be expected because they sounded like nothing before them. also not surprising that the reviews changed once they started influencing tons of bands.
when you say they suck though, what do you really mean? that just means you don't think they sound good. there is essentially no way to objectively rate music. you could easily listen to the Fall and say "man this is just repetitive noise and the music isn't intricate or melodic, which is bad" while i'd say they're really good. which of us is right? neither. |
