I can't say anything about Andrew WK I actually like one of their songs, but then again I ONLY like one of their songs.
As for Emo, I love msot of it. As to say I don't just listen to it stright, I put it in a mix, so that it's like Emo, Rock, Punk, Emo, Pyschobilly, Rock; that way I don't get fed up with all the wineing.
As for hating bands that turn popular. Well the few bands that I liked at one point & now don't really like seem like they've ran out of ideas & in an attempt to stay around went public.
Like Rancid, they rocked, then all of a sudden their last CD came out, I didn't like the sound, but it be came a must have for most the people I know.
AFI, a good band, & even some of their latest stuff is quite great, but it seems like their last CD was aimmed to boarden their fan base as to please others, & not just themselves.
About the only reason besides the fact that some artist compromise their music to fit mainstream needs, is that I tire of hearing so many people talk about music they don't really understand at all.
Like one kid I know likes AFI, he thinks they look like retards, but he says they sound cool, but by this he doesn't mean the music does, but only because they're now listened as hot up coming artist, which myself & my other friend have to joke around about.
I've also gotten into arguements around here because a kid was trying to tell me that a certain band was jjust so cool, when the band was one of those Good Charlote a dime a dozen bands... He refused to acpect the fact that their are other bands out there just as good, if not better just because he doesn't see them on MTV.
Although with the above said, I still listen to AFI, I just don't listen them on my favorites list, because as it's become in my neck of the woods, anyone who listens to them is automaticaly a worthless all black wearing piece of trash, or one who lack abishion (yeah I have bad spelling).
Hell, if bands like the Meteors, Mad Sin, & Demented Are Go! became the most famous bands in the world tomarrow I wouldn't care one bit less they toned down their lyrics because of this fact. Like the Nekromantix are becoming popular here, do I care, hell no, I still listen to them, but their lyrics didn't have to change for them to become popular, it's everyone's taste in music that's changing.
In short, what a bunch of these aginst the mainstream people are saying is that it's very shitty when an artist, or band changes their music to suit the masses instead of staying true to themselves. But then you run into those bands that say that they decided to take that turn to put diversity into their music, & you get right back on the marrigoround.:confused:

If Max Collins, Matt Skiba, Jimmy Urine, & Mark Phillips had a child it would be one fu*ked up mofo, but 'it' would be the God of music.
