RES IPSA LOQUITOR: Honestly, wasn't it a lot easier to like Emo Punk before we gave it that stupid name? As soon as I heard somebody use that term I knew that an organic tendency had grown into a plastic genre that would thereafter exuse any extreme of derivative excess or spiritless prefabrication. No, really.

As soon as I heard it called something, named by society for an industry that would market it as such, I knew that there was an "Emo Punk" cover of Peter Cetera's Glory of Love out there somewhere, and that when I found it, it would suck. Where is Screetching Weasel when you need them? ...I'd even settle for Kevin Seconds.

And sadly, I think I have to blame Green Day, who I love, for proving that this mode of punk music mass hyper-marketable. Turned it into a goddamn twinkie.
