[QUOTE=Cosma;549982]Ok IF the Fallout Boys are emo (and I've seen people argue vehemently that they are not) then it's a said state of affairs for the 00s that this is the type of music that has to...

In my opinion, I tink it is better that Sonic Youth((or any other good band like that, meat puppets, etc. etc.)) isn't really getting any mainstream attention. Just imagine if somebody, who thought...

I think that this is((in a way)) the new 80s where you have one genre((emo I guess, that's most popular)) that is dominating the charts((not thinking about rap here just rock)), like hair metal did,...

I never said it wasn't good. I still enjoy Green Day a lot. It's just that since I have gotten older I don't enjot them as much as I would like to.

I used to be a hard-core Green Day fan wen I was around 11 or 12(Warning and Dookie= Fave albums)
But getting on up into my teen years I sort of veered away from them.
When American Idiot I did not...

The Pillows
Bump of Chicken
Do as Infinity
Mucc

before I go on, if I offended anyone or...

There are the only good rock bands of the 2000s (not including metal cause I don't really listen to it, someone else will have to list the good metal bands)...

They forgot "Rape Me" performed by Green Day.

People usually classify the 70s because of the Sex Pistols and other bands like that who just completely burst forth outta nowhere with a new genre of music, y'know?
Same thing with Grunge and New...

Okay, so every decade has a classification of the dominant genre of music
~60s:Surf
~70s:Punk
~90s:Grunge
~00s:Emo(though it is a horrendous, sad, and pitiful form of music)...
