Seriously. What's up with this shit? This is some of the worst music I've heard... and that's saying something. Then they name themselves after some NBA player???

According to Wikipedia ( ) they're not named after the basketball player (yeah, sure they aren't).Superman wrote:Seriously. What's up with this shit? This is some of the worst music I've heard... and that's saying something. Then they name themselves after some NBA player???
I only saw them once, when they played a song at some MTV award show. They came in dressed as Star Wars characters and I thought they would play something fun. Then I was shocked by some of the most boring crap music I've ever heard.

I never heard of them before a little while ago, but i do like them.
At first i thought they were just some emo band, because the words in their songs had no meaning or point (a common, if not prerequisite, trait of emo songs is that the words are 'deep' which means they have no point and ramble/whine aimlessly--see Linkin Park, My Chemical Romamce, et al).
But after i heard the song in full i realized, they were just fucking around for the fun of it and doing some kind of neo-reggae/pop blend stuff. Now i like them.

The brains behind the group is also one of those behind the Gorillaz last album as well. It certainly shows. In a good way.
Whenever they appeared on ToTP as the airline crew doing Crazy, my family were always more amused by the drummer attempting to keep the hat on his afro.

How do you get emo from just the lyrics? The music should sound like a completely different genre. Their more moody songs would be classified as "neo-soul", after all. Their non-moody stuff- it's a weird hodge-podge, but it should be nowhere close to emo.18-Till-I-Die wrote:At first i thought they were just some emo band, because the words in their songs had no meaning or point (a common, if not prerequisite, trait of emo songs is that the words are 'deep' which means they have no point and ramble/whine aimlessly--see Linkin Park, My Chemical Romamce, et al).

My guess is that 18 isn't fully aware that the emo music genre really branches off of hardcore punk and indie rock.Battlehymn Republic wrote:How do you get emo from just the lyrics?

Nevermind that Linkin' Park (nu metal) and My Chemical Romance (alternative rock) aren't emo, either...

You seem to be confusing "emo" as in "emo goth kid" with "emo music", which is a subgenre of punk or hardcore rock.
