MCR i liked a little but i just hate that modern whiny emo type of singing some bands were popular for another exmpl of that is Panic at the disco (ugh, so horrible!) on contrast Morrissey can whine all day and i luv his songs
Musically some of these bands weren't bad but those whiny emo vocals just ruin everything for me

this was awhile ago i assume. i remember mcr and falloutboy gettin big in maybe 2006ish and afi bein popular before that but then they kinda reached a new audience i think with 'miss murder.' ive never liked mcr. i can appreciate some fall out boy songs but i certainly dont think they are emo at all, i just consider them to be a pop type band.
though i do love takin back sunday who was kinda grouped in with bands like mcr and the used around the mid 2000s
as for country-pop i understand the country purists who see their genre morphin like every other genre into mainstream pop stuff. but bein a kid from a small town who never really fully identified as a redneck or a country boy, country pop is a nice bridge for ppl like me and i enjoy it
edit: panic at the disco and paramore i believe were around the same time on Fueled by Ramen label and then they both moved on and changed their sound. i really hate their lead singers face and dislike the bands music
