Prompted by people who are on a rampage to kill a particularly controversial field of music, I came up with some people who can’t say anything about ‘emo’ music. Their is a lot of irony in some of the observations I’ve made.
10. Girls
9. Phish Fans (Seriously, did you hear Trey talk on Charlie rose about how he had a freaking trip on stage where he started ‘playing colors’?)
8. Seventeen Magazine (I read something about the ‘emo guy’ in there. Gross.)
7. Any fan of christian rock. Somehow these folks think that talking about an undying, unconditional love of lord and savior Jesus Christ means that they are not sentimental. I don’t care what kind of power cords you play. You’re singing a love song to another man.
6. Anybody into retro music. Remember, what’s now retro was once new and … controversial. As time passes, acceptance is given, and the final product becomes more polished.
5. Nirvana fans. Remeber, Kurt Cobain ‘whined’ about women and killing himself. Ultimately, he did.
4. Anyone who wears chains, or has any piercing any where besides their ears. (Though ears count if you’re a boy) I made this one with this idiot in my english class specificially in mind.
3. If you receiver higher than a 1400 on the SAT. You’re simply too intelligent to be closed minded.
2. Anyone who thought the 311 cover of Love Song was kind of good.
1. Anybody who’s ever liked any song by RadioHead or Coldplay.
