Fun Stuff > BAND
Panic!AtTheDisco
Garcin:
Well see, the point of this video is fit every obnoxious emo band trope ever, hence, having the circus performers/band control, mock, but try to help the attendants who are, but for their intervention, asleep. See, the angsty emo teen is the band, and the wedding guests and couple to married are the teen's parents, teachers, classmates, and society at large, making the teen get a regular haircut instead of a slanty one, worry about grades instead of indulging their unbridled creativity, and making them work instead of furnishing an allowance.
When the strong man/symbol condoning the emo teen's sexuality and/or sexual curiosity blew golden sparkles on the crowd, I threw up a bit in my throat. Ditto when the lead singer clutched his furry hat in a gesture so ill-conceived it could only impress a sub-urbanite 14-year old. But the real reason I loathe, LOATHE, LOATHE this video is that it is lyrically, melodically, and instrumentally dead. It's one generic lyrically phrase (I'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"/No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.) that lacks a vestige of lyricism supported by one musical phrase that lacks a vestige of musicality.
See, most important of all is to gratify the emo teen on a musical level and that means no challenges. So we have a chorus that makes up perhaps 90% of the song and that is virtually spoken into the mic, we have a riff played ad naseum virtually without change or development, all saying to the emo teen: "We like you as you are, and you are, on a musical level, retarded. You can't handle complexity, so we won't give it to you. Please buy our cds!"

Oh god, Arctic Motherfucking Monkeys. They are getting really hyped over here at the moment, and I just want to murder them so hard their grandparents die from sympathy pains. Jesus Christ.

I seriously don't get the Arctic Monkeys. They are like a boring Art Brut with less humour and a singewr that sounds retarded.

Rizzo: You make interesting points. I do not agree neccessarily but you make interesting points. Aside from that, Converge is pretty cool and Blood Brothers are great.
Est/Moiche: I think the two best parts of the video (and by "best" I mean "most hilariously cred-destroying") are a) shortly after the sparkles blowing happens and the guy in the hat intones "YESSSSSSSS" with an expression on his face similar to watching someone he hates die and b) after the bride walks out and ringmaster guy turns to the groom. You know the part. It's the part where you laugh like a maniac.
EDIT: I don't get the Arctic Monkeys either. Art Brut, Top Of The Pops!
Narr:
I went to junior high with the lead singer of the band, so my views are probably skewed a little on the band. I don't mind them too much.
Oli:
