Panic!AtTheDisco
Kai:
--- Quote from: Hat ---If they aren't actually doing anything new, can you really call them "Avant Garde"?
Or is this like the "Indie" thing where you just take a concept and attach it to a specific genre and thats what it means forever and ever now?
(Ok, so my ill-informed opinion might have made a lot more sense if I had remembered there was a second page. Dang.)

It can be redundant, in the same way that prog can be redundant; I mean, both of them are supposed to be these, well, progressive, I guess, bands and yet so many things in the group are not moving forward. But still, in both there's plenty of people that are still lightyears ahead of all those who came before. Coil are still doing amazingly interesting stuff that is so massively different than Can and Amon Duul and whatnot that there's no way that you can listen to one after the other and not see some sort of progression. I could say the same thing about a few prog bands. But I'm not going to. Because basically, my point is this: In every genre, there are people who are just going to rehash what's already been done before, and there are people who are going to go out and do something new.
Slick:
A friend from mine who's a couple years younger really likes Panic!, but I haven't gotten around to checking them out yet. They are playing a show with the Dresden Dolls that I want to see for the dolls, so I'll let you all know how they are live. Still, from what I've heard I may just end up leaving after the dolls if they're as described herein.
Also, every genre has copycats and followers and leaders. That's the way it is. I think the avant-grade term still applies to followers, as they'd still be near the forefront.

--- Quote from: 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.

I really hope you're going back and reimaging all of your high school memories of him to include the top hat and him just breaking out into song and dance numbers.

I actually remember a time at a volunteer thingy we both were at where he started beat-boxing with some friends and imagined him doing it in a tophat. It gave me a laugh. O_o
