Maybe I'll dedicate the rest of my picks to selecting the most chalk-boardingly grating albums I can find. Pee Wee Herman, Britney Spears, Nickelback... I'm looking at you!  |

Sorry about that to both of you, Fan & Sowa.
I'm actually pretty educated on what "emo" really is, in the sense of bands like
Weezer or
Jimmy Eat World when they debuted in the '90s, or
Thursday in the early years of this century.
And I also know that FOB has been erroneously labeled as "emo" too by the mainstream media, which was part of the joke.
I threw that EmoIn80 crack in to try to be funny. I get a kick out of how Girly makes little jokes out of your name on CP.
I'm stupidest when I try to be funny.

PS: I used to really like "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" until it was played to death on X92.9. Good tune, and as you say, good sense of humour.
