Really, metal's such a wide genre that you can never count it out completely. There's plenty of bands today imitating 70's/80's metal that you could probably stand to listen to.

Oh, and I haven't stated my opinion on Blink-182 yet, lol. I used to be obsessed with them, because they DO make really good pop-punk. I didn't like the direction they were taking before the break-up, but I might have just been naive. I'll give their last album another spin.

I'm talking the stuff the "scenesters" listen to. I have not listened to much cold play. I'm talking more...ugh, I don;t even know what they're called, but like Cobra Starship (Even though they're poppy, I kinda like them...)

MCR? ;)

In my school MCR isnt as popular as they were two yearsago year when I actually started listening to them. Not so suprising though, the stuff I was referring to is the stuff they listen to.

As for me liking MCR - Iwill say I only listened to them because my only friends that liked music listened to them. I never had a lot of friends up until now. I know I just joined a bandwagon, but it was probably also because someone in the Sims 2 community made an absolutely AMAZING sim video of the song Heleana. Before that I never listened to MCR, started to because of that video/my "friends"

I did eventually stop liking them when I realized they were severely over-rated, but there are one or two songs I still like.

Ok, I can totally understand that. I mean I listen to a lot of music that I would say it ****ty music. Including Blink, 3OH!3, and plenty of other bands that I know its not great music but its catchy and I enjoy listening to it. And I had a friend telling me how amazing 3OH!3 was and I was just like *face palm* Its not good music, its just super catchy.

Also to the people who said that didnt care for the direction they went before the break up. I think that is the best release they had. Its so much more mature than the past albums and musically I think its a lot more intriguing.

Every girl in my all girls school is suddenly a Blink-182 fan...

Every facebook status is OMG BLINKKKK

Every 2 minutes theres a myspace bulletin.. "BLINK IS BANK"


Its not fun to be immersed in this kinda pop culture. Is it a coincidence that I joined this forum when myspace/facebook were flooded with teenage girls who just wanted to rave about how "OMG AMAZING" blink is? I think not

I'm not sure how you can make such a statement. They are completely different. All i know is i'd rather listen to Enema of The State and Dude Ranch over bloody X&Y and Viva... any day

Im with you. Coldplay bores me. My friends are huge Coldplay fans and I hear about it all the time. And I would much rather listen to Blink than Coldplay.

Well... their last two albums do nothing for me, listening to Blink's best work is a lot more fun. Coldplay's first two albums... now thats a different story.

The above is true everywhere.
