Emo Class (lyrics, alternative, hardcore, indie, metal)

Any scholarary journal that namedrops Atmosphere and other rap artists as emo is just plain silly.

Queen Latifah is progressive metal.

And the one before it too.

Don question: Aren't the ignorant teens the ones that would read this "scholarly journal" and not smell the bullshit?

~~Don~~ · 03-09-2006, 10:55 PM

Answer: No.

Why don't you check out the bibliography and have a read up on those ten references?

Oh, that's right, I forgot about you and your sheeplike tendancies. "THE SCHOLARLY JOURNAL KNOWS ALL."

~~Don~~ · 03-09-2006, 10:58 PM

Actually no, I said that was just one measly article I used. I forgot about your tendency to say that everything you disagree with is wrong because you're always right.

ignorance is bliss

You post on an internet message board so you can be ignorant about music?

Way to recycle my own arguements back because you have no substance to yours. Did you notice on the bibliography that one of this "scholar's" sources is a book with the subtitle "The Corporate Construction of Childhood"? That should've tipped you off that the whole article was misinformed at best. And I believe you when you say this author was probably correct in what they wrote if they stick to the poor sources they cited, but it doesn't mean that any of the conclusions drawn are accurate by any means. Just because someone has a PhD in the field of "General Music" doesn't mean they know anything about it. In fact, since most of the professionals in their fields that looked over this article before it became so scholarly and journaly have little to no actual knowledge about the subject, they were willing to go along with it. Besides it's that same sheep-like attitude that causes other people to agree with it too. No one wants to be looked down at in their field of study after all; and so the chain goes on, one miseducated moron after another, until guess what? IT ENDS UP IN YOUR HANDS! So I say kudos to you Don, you sure know what's going down in today's music scene. Hopefully... some day, I will be able to follow pretentious scholarly journals down to the letter and use them in my misguided arguements against people on music forums myself.
