Where's Panic's Panic!?/ Emo Is Dead. Muhahaha.

Okay, so I'm a little bit hyper right now... but whatever, after reading my friend's blog I have decided to write a new post, seeing as I haven't in ages. Hmmmm, what could I talk about... Music is something interesting right now, well when isn't it? Good music that I've heard recently are:(I put the titles before the bands, backwards, I know)
Cassius- Foals (Sounds like Hummer and just as addictive)
Make Love Listen to Death From Above- CSS (I'm not sure if that's the right title :S)
We are Rockstars- Does it offend you, yeah? (Good for a party)
Nine in the Afternoon- Panic at the Disco.

Now, I hear you: 'Where's Panic's Panic!?' Well, they got fed up of having to explain why the exclaimation mark is there, which is pretty understandable, though the ! was awesome. The cynical band of theratrical proportions has transformed and grown up into a happy and more welcoming bunch. Their new song is also awesome and shows that their musical skills have managed to surpass all expectations of 'Fever...' Mk 2. They also reflect the growing alienation of EMO. It's gone. There are of course still the few 'hardcore' ones (Is it even possible to be a hardcore hardcore?), but overall the fad of suicide, drugs (or the extreme; 'straight edge') and the
'Oh my God, My live sucks, No one cares, I'm so sad!'
'Yes. You are sad.'
- has died out.
The whole thing was totally ridiculous, and I was a part of it so I know- It.Was.Stupid. There were so many with so much hope and potential who wasted so much of the most vital years of their life whining and being angry.When half them only joined in for either- the excuse for the fringe, or to go on myspace and shit. That fact that it faded out so quickly from such a high just shows how much of a passing fad it was. If you see half of them now, they are with handbags and trying to get down to grime or R&B or Pop or something, or they've decided to stop being a pussy and become an actual goth. But, I don't think that there are that many.

What's kinda sad is that in Latin, 'Emo' means 'I buy'... that's just weird.
