Will old styles of music culture & sound come back from the dead, like hair metal and/or ska?

admin — Thu, 12 May 2011 13:29:51 +0000

The 80′s gave us hair metal (think Motley Crue, Poison, the Sunset Strip, strip clubs, coke, women’s clothes on men) and new wave (aqua net hair, drum machines, a lot of keyboards, a varied mix of funk/punk/disco/gospel/rock, checkered patterns, day glow [neon], and lots of make-up on men)

The 90′s had ska (once again, checkered clothes, spiked hair with bleached tips, metal bead necklaces, dreads on white boys, skanking, Hawaiian shirts, bowling shirts, fedoras, and punkers & band geeks harmonizing together) AND grunge (Doc Martins, flannel shirts, heavily distorted rock, musical tempo of loud to soft to loud to soft, messy hair w/o gels or product, ripped jeans, worn concert tees, down tempo beats, and songs perfect for cloudy days).

What I am asking is, will musical scenes/history repeat themselves? Will we see grunge, hair metal, ska, or new wave make a serious replay?

Or will music as we know continue to get watered down with pop music, Jonas Brothers, radio Disney, and really bad neo-grunge from rednecks (think 3 Doors Down, Everlast, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, & Three Days Grace), and the winners and losers from American Idol?

Of the four scenes/sounds mentioned above, what will make the quickest return, why, and how long do you speculate it to last, and lastly, why will it die down again.

Please try to answer ALL of the above questions!

I’M SO EMO

admin — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 07:15:02 +0000

Another “I’M SO” music video by Onision, this one is about goth/emo kids.

A song about emo & gothic people all over the world, a high-quality & hilarious parody of the modern social world.

I’M So Emo Song – Music Video – Comedy/Parody
Created by Onision – Gregory Sicesca.

Lyrics
——————–
I’m so dark.
I’m so emo.
I’m so dark.
I’m so emo.

I’m so dark.
I’m so emo.

Sometimes I like to watch you change.
I’m so emo.

I can meditate for 4 or 5 hours.
I’m so dark..

I’m afraid of milk, and I don’t take showers.
I’m so emo..

It’s fun to pretend my eyes have lazers.
I’m so dark..

Your mace won’t work and neither will your tazers.
I’m so emo..

I’m not just emo, I have special powers.

I’m into bondage and I love golden showers.

I’ll write you a crappy poem instead of giving you… flowers.

And it won’t even rhyme because I’m so emo..

[pause]

I’m so dark…
I’m so emo.

I have few emotional problems.
Nobody really… understands me.

I have a few.
I have a few.
I have a few.
I have a few.

[mix "I have a few" "I'm so emo." "I can meditate"]

I can meditate for 4 or 5 hours.
I’m afraid of milk, and I don’t take showers.
It’s fun to pretend my eyes have lazers.
Your mace won’t work and neither will your tazers.

Note: In no way to I hate emos, nor do I want emos to die, hurt themselves, hurt others, nor do I want emo people to be unhappy with this video. This video was made for humor purposes only as I myself was emo as a teen and just wanted to reflect on my own life.

So when you leave feedback and say I have no idea what it’s like to be emo, and your world is upside down etc etc and basically that I am a jerk for posting this video, please realize that this video is not about you, or your friends. It is about me.

Please stop being so emo about it ok friend? A lot of people love and care about you I’m sure, look at this video, and the world, in a more positive light ok Mr./Ms. Emo pants? Have a great emo day, emo loves you. Emo.
