Bands that are cool to hate
Kai:
Warped Tour is coming here. It already had a pretty week lineup, but all the bands even POSSIBLY worth seeing (Like, 1 and a half) aren't going to be there. Instead we get the Used and Flogging fucking Molly.

--- Quote from: a pack of wolves ---Only the really early Black Flag stuff had the punk sound. By Damaged they had very much a hardcore sound and approach, and it was nothing to do with Rollins being a musclehead. They were just playing that music, plain and simple. As for Fugazi, you don't get any more hardcore than Ian Mackaye. The man was in Minor Threat after all. It wasn't called 'hardcore' to try to sound tough or anything (at least, not by most people) but because a lot of people wanted to move away from what they saw as the more superficial concerns of punk, where it seemed like it was becoming style over content.

Huh? Man, now I am really confused. Superficial concerncs of punk? How is hardcore being defined here? Black Flag is all right, I prefer some of their earlier stuff (Wasted is probably my favorite song) but some of the stuff with Rollins was just kind of dumb and thinly hidden misogyny.

I forgot about Flogging Molly! What do you have against them... they're fun to listen to

I think any band under the genre of 'emo' is lovably hated. Not unfairly, of course. With the likes of Dashboard Confessional and Death Cab, 'emo' has been dismissed by hipsters as immature whines of teenage angst.
I have to admit, though, I still LOVE alexisonfire, who are definetly classified as 'emo-core'. I especially LOVE Dallas Green, their guitarist, who played at the White Ribbon Benefit Concert in Toronto with Jully Black - anyone see? (I also LOVE run-on sentences.) Yippee.

My friend was there. If you saw a little asian girl with red bangs, that was my friend. I believe she went with some guy friend of her's from school.
