Re: Fox goes "undercover" in the emo scene
by T-tron on 2007-05-04 14:48:31 I think its so lame how they act like this is something ew like go back a few years and they would have the same word for word interviews and people talking about being "goth" and talking about korn and marilyn manson or something. news flash teenage kids act depressed and listen to shitty music, no one cares.

by moneenerd on 2007-05-04 16:17:13 http://www.myspace.com/tbanger i remember when EMO meant great bands like Saves The Day, I Hate Myself, Pinkslip, and even bands like Orchid or Pg.99. Wtf is up with this new "emo" that entails black eyeliner and looking like Michael Graves???
Re: Fox goes "undercover" in the emo scene
by red_eyed420 on 2007-05-04 16:17:17 i hate emo but wow i think i hate even these hardcore goths and punkers just as much now.. like im thinking to myself u guys have just as much whiny anger as emo kids... and instead of doin the opposite of them... u just wanna attack them instead of turning your frustration into somethin creative..

Re: Fox goes "undercover" in the emo scene
by Someone on 2007-05-04 16:44:12 I enjoyed how the beatdown from the punk rockers comes in the form of a circle pit. Since, ya know, pits started in 2007 and are primarily started just to beat up "emos". They pull their shit so tight that anyone outside of the punk rock community would believe them...it may be completely wrong and unfair, but those Repubs are not stupid people. They know how to pull a fast one on a scared nation of the minimally-concerned parents that watch FOX. Fuck it...BBQ at my place. Seattle. Veg and non-veg, drinks and lawnchairs. It's a beautiful day.
Fox LA music reports
by Someone on 2007-05-04 17:02:26 I haven't watched this yet, but I know I will love it. In the mid-90s, Fox did a week on punk rock, and I still quote stuff from that one: "then face to face took the stage, and all hell broke loose." I also liked their late-90s report on the ska scene. They went to an Aquabats show and portrayed one of their staged fights as a real fight, then moved to a pimp n' ho party, which is what all LA ska kids went to back in the day.

On a lighter note, that was John Beard reporting it in the beginning. You might remember him as the local news reporter on Arrested Development.

Re: Fox goes "undercover" in the emo scene
by bloofy on 2007-05-04 22:26:52 Fact: I wouldn't give even a quarter of a fuck about "emo"'s if the trend was called something else. It has nothing to do with what real emo is (original stuff I mean) and just pisses me off to see all these fucking morons talking about something they know nothing about.
Re: Fox goes "undercover" in the emo scene
by Someone on 2007-05-04 22:36:34 Is it just me or does the whole world not know what EMO is? Cuz it isn't actually around anymore. It died with the Promise Ring. No one actually thinks they are emo. Anybody who thinks someone else is "emo" is an idiot. You cant be emo, it is a kind of music. Not only that but no one who plays music one would call emo would ever refer to it as emo because it is a rip on the music. Emo bands didnt call themselves emo. People who hated emo bands called it emo. The music has been around for almost 20 years and now that pop punk music has changed so much they call it emo now and all of the sudden its some new craze. Wake up and get a fucking clue. Come on people. Scene Kids they call it. Every kind of music has "scene kids". Emo is just indie rock guys thats it. Get a fucking clue.
Re: Fox goes "undercover" in the emo scene
by Someone on 2007-05-04 22:44:34 They are all Mallternarats. EMO HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 5 FUCKING YEARS. Wake up and get a fucking clue.
Re: Fox goes "undercover" in the emo scene
by Someone on 2007-05-04 22:54:38 When are people gonna realize that Emo is just a joke term for people who hate post-hardcore and indie rock to call the music they don't like?

Fox News will be there along with Rupert Murdoch and Tom from Myspace as the last throes of a fashion finally enter the Gap and boys can finally buy girl jeans in the boy section. |
