why the fuck would i need a thesaurus




Punk rock tapped into the anger and discontent of a generation of British society that was fed up with the

hippie message of peace and free love. It instead channeled its nihilistic fury against the boredom, disillusionment,

and hypocrisy of the newly-dawning age of neoliberalism, railing against any and every traditional authority that

stood in its path. But something was lost amidst this generalized annihilative rage: the personal feelings of heartbreak

and loss, the tragic and lyrical dimension of music. These were looked upon by the punk movement with scorn and

disgust. Such feelings were just cheap sentimentalism, romantic drivel…emotions that should have by now been

drowned in the snot, spit, and liquid apathy of the punk Weltanshauung.



For those who still clung to these emotions, who had despite themselves absorbed the influence of punk rock, a new

genre was born: emo (which was destined to go through its own series of mutations and transformations). This

combined the rawness, incompetence, and heroic amateurism of punk rock with the personal oblivion of death,

betrayal, and unrequited love. The sneering growl of punk rock vocals gradually gave way to hysterical shrieks, and

the oversimplified three-powerchord patterns were replaced by calculated cacophony and more sophisticated

harmonic dissonance. The aggressively brusque straightforwardness of punk lyrics, their studied stupidity, was

exchanged for a more precious vocabulary and elaborate attempts at lyrical symbolism. All of a sudden emo began to

wax poetic, trying to give itself the illusion of depth. The cracking voice that pierced through the fuzz of the guitars

and bad production was seen as a testament to its authenticity, an expression of the genuine pathos that must

underlie all of this chaos and ugliness. Predictably, such techniques were swiftly glamorized and soon became

standard within the genre.

Although you seem like an attention-whore, and the review was ridiculously overblown at some points, it was still really interesting to read from an unbiased standpoint. Also, you are forever Jerry Seinfeld's bitch. Just saying.
