I think it's because I spend so much time with scenester types that after spending an hour discussing the merits of The Horrors' haircuts or the fact that no-one likes Test Icicles anymore, my brain gives up and goes 'must listen to the one thing that will offend the musos' and is drawn like a radar to the Panic album or something equally sneered upon.

i tend to think that most stuff that is commercially described as pop punk is really more pop rock.
'i write tragedies not love songs' or whatever its called is a really good song. i've never heard any fall out boy stuff though so i can't really comment.
this is sort of along the lines of the debate you could have on when does metalcore become nu-metal?
or what genre is it when powerviolence becomes a little more structured-is it then death metal?
this stupid labelling shit really ends up dumbing down the way we describe music, lumping a bunch of bands in a bunch of genres just makes it difficult when you do have bands on the fringe like jawbreaker. are they emo? because thats what dear you sounded like, but then all their other albums sounded different. so they could be pop punk and melodic punk rock too!

Cartilage Head:
 I Write Sins Not Tragedies

 And your right.. it is a pretty good song.

The Eyeball Kid:
I got alot of shit for mentioning that I liked the new My Chemical Romance song on my MySpace.
For cripes sake... i'm 21. Alot of my friends are younger. Can you really NOT rememer what it felt like to be an agnsty teen? Sometimes you need stuff like that.
Panic! at the Disco is fun too

Dammit, I like Test Icicles, you mean I have to stop?

muffy:
^ Technically, but you can find ways around it e.g 'Oh, I was listening to the Klaxons' reworking of (insert random tune) by Test Icicles, they've really moved it forward and paved the way for bands like SHITDISCO to make ironic glowsticks cool again...'
Or find the bassist's new band, that kind of thing...I spend too much time with people who REALLY THINK LIKE THIS and it makes me die a little inside...



Also, on the panic!/MCR/fob front - I get so much stick for liking that kind of thing that it only makes me more belligerant in my appreciation of it. It's enjoying music, not compiling a musical CV for prospective musos to judge whether you're worth knowing or not...
