no^ they're a rock band that's been out for a while and has a pretty big cult following with alternative/emo/punk rock listeners

They still make rock music?  I didn't think anybody still listened to alternative/emo/punk.


Rock is still the highest selling form of music

nope, hip hopīs the biggest selling form of music and countryīs been behind for 2 years now. country has basically been the biggest selling music in America since people started making it but these days hip hopīs actually the biggest selling genre in America. if you check Soundscan every week then it becomes extremely obvious coz like a third of all the albums on the charts are hip hop/hip pop. MTV even did a story on this a few years ago that made it seem impossible that any genre was gonna outsell country until hip hop did.

I listen to the Blue album every once in awhile....Never really got into their newer stuff, but I enjoy most of their songs on the radio.  The Blue album is classic material tho.

Emo is actually a relatively new style. I think it sucks. It may even be worse than hip hop.

They're almost polar opposites:

Emo is full of self-loathing rich kids
Hip-Hop is full of self-loving (sometimes poor) kids




I meant in quality of music, and I only said it to piss off Infinite. Nothing is worse than emo.
ill disagree, i mean some emo shit is just horrible, but some stuff that is considered emo like Something Corporate, i think makes very quality music.
