I've got all their albums, Rivers Cuomo is a genius.  He's so fuckin' funny.  All these little followers have been talking about this unreleased album he was working on called "Songs From The Black hole" that he did 10 years ago, and for 10 years they've all wondered and speculated, etc.

About 2 weeks ago, Rivers posted something up on his myspace account that said "Oh, I just realized everybody was so into Songs from the black hole, i'll post my demos up"

and they all fainted

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.

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

yes they do


the red hot chili peppers (a rock band have) have had the number 1 album for two weeks now
metallica( a metal band) sell more/just as much from their back catalouge from 20 years ago than the top sellling rap artist , year after year
Rock is still the highest selling form of music
rock is still the most played form of music on modern radio


emo/punk/alternative is still very popular, go to any random average white kid's myspace profile and watch them list off like 60 of these bands.....they're all over the place

I meant in quality of music, and I only said it to piss off Infinite. Nothing is worse than emo.

nope, hip hop´s the biggest selling form of music and country´s 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 hop´s 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.

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.
