Chris Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 The scariest thing is that's not satire. It could have came straight off the daily show, I always knew they must have got their inspiration from real news but I guess I hoped it wasn't that close.I even searched for ABC 4 news in case it was some kind of satire program, but it's not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingin' Ryan Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 My main objection was the way that guy made I'll Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie into some kind of suicide pact anthem!Half the footage they used was taken from internet videos satirising 'Emo culture'.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 the problem with 'anti-emo' humour is that it's so old...'funny posts' like this have honestly been regularly posted on aberdeen-music for at least 5 years. Remember Emo Juice? That big joke was at its prime when I was in 5th year at School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest treader. Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 why is it seen as "name dropping" though?i mean, so i was really young when proper emo was at it's height or whatever.but that suddenly means if i like these bands, im just name dropping?surely then, anyone's fucking music taste can be name-dropping.

Diesel Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 "Stop my breathing and slit my throat" - quality.I guess the "Emo" label is just a marketing ploy to put a sellable wrapper round pish "music". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in your case is what happened. You didn't stumble across a Minor Threat or blah blah CD randomly in a record shop, you saw them mentioned by another band or had someone you know that knew you were getting into that sort of music mention them to you. Funnily that's how most people get into different bands. There's no shame to it. The only shame in this case is being judgmental towards what got you started in the first place.
