I'm relaxed, I was just wondering why you would label a band "emo-ish", when they are not. It would be like calling Justin Bieber "rap-ish", or Nickleback "punk-ish". I wouldn't even call Metric "new-wavish" They are just a rock band that never signed to a major record company. People are way too quick to try and label everything into genres these days.

Doesn't change the fact I dislike their music. I just don't generally like pop music, along with a lot of other people, relax. People can choose to dislike a band you like, it's fine. I don't need to hear most of the music on x-92 to know I won't like it, if someone plays it for me will I give it a chance? Absolutely.
For the record my music is superior. I'll go back to listening to my propagandhi album now.. It's funny a lot of people don't like them and I prefer that, more room at their concert for me!

I like Propagandi too (even though their preachiness wears a little thin after a while) and even met them several times. We had mutual friends back in Winnipeg. Some of their songs dabble in what you probably call wimpy or emo music (see Gifts or Rio de la San Atlanta, MB). They even promote indy music (they made a CD for a Winnipeg band called Painted Thin who is more of a mellow (or wimpy) type of music. John K. Samson even released some independent solo stuff and then started The Weakerthans who are probably both more "emo-ish" than Metric.
