[QUOTE=Juddybear;18343720]mostly christsimpson but p much every post in this thread lately makes me grit my teeth[/QUOTE]

even my posts :(

[QUOTE=christsimpson;18343386]... aka they are popular and successful thus I can't think they are bad. which I do.[/quote]
its as if youre purposefully missing my point

theyre not "really bad at everything" because they're clearly talented

you don't have to like them, that's fine, but they're not "really bad at everything" like you keep claiming

[quote]y, it's not like actual punk/hardcore/emo/screamo has anything to do with diy...[/quote]
it's not like there arent good punk bands that have gotten big and realized that diy isnt a religion

you really just need to read geoff rickley's response to daitro

[quote]what's not intense with IWASMOFFY? intense doesn't necessary mean noisy or puke-y vocals. I definitely find their nerve very much intense.[/QUOTE]
yeah man lo-fi guitar with thin tone and a viola, how intense!

When I think of intense skram, I think like, Orchid, Jeromes Dream, Louise Cyphre, and Akephal.

IDK BRO.

Was listening to Snowing just now, KJ Jamming is such a bad song.

[QUOTE=HighandDriving;18343728]New album is disappointing.[/QUOTE]

naw, it's just full of slower songs, not as punky.

[QUOTE=witchxrapist;18343938]it's not like there arent good punk bands that have gotten big and realized that diy isnt a religion[/QUOTE]

yeah they are called sell outs

lmao

forgot how much better iwsmoffy's st is than believes in patterns

I prefer Believes in Patterns a lot over both s/t and the demos. it's all good though. but Believes in Patterns flows better as a whole. it's super awkward and off key in every way possible.

Believes In Patterns doesn't flow at all, that's why it's not as good.

how does it not flow? all songs are equally awkward and filled with angst and hatred. it's brilliant. the only track that doesn't fit in is the album closer. but that's arguably the most odd and awkward track of them all, so it somehow works anyway. it's a great album.

It doesn't flow because the majority of the transitions are completely forced.

And not all of the songs are awkward, listen to Twelve for example, that song is perfect.

I really can't tell if christsimpson is a gimmicky obtuse troll.

forced? I find them all super awkward and screaming "I don't know what I'm doing". the album doesn't sound forced at all imo. that's what makes it so good.

"Twelve" is pretty awkward. especially the parts without distortion. it's like a really failed attempt at math rock with screaming. I love it. one of the best tracks.

another song that totally rules is "Nine".

[i]If my
younger self could see
what I've become
it would
break his heart
and he would say to me but someday
when I
grow up
I'll be somebody you'll see
and no one can take that
from me,
someday
when I grow up
I'll be somebody you'll see
and no one
can take that
from me
and
we always said
this wouldn't be us
and
we always
said
this shouldn't be us
and
we always said
this couldn't be us
and
we always said
this wouldn't be
but I'm standing here now
at twenty-fucking-two
and everything that I believe
is slipping from my grasp
my faith in myself
my faith in this world
my faith that everything
will work out in the end[/i]

now THAT is some seriously top skram lyrics

do you know what a forced transition is? ugh

even if he did (which i actually think he does), i'm sure he would like it. he likes emo/screamo for a different reason than you do, why is that hard to understand?

people like screamo for one reason

cred

i wish i got cred for my screamo records.

i get cred for the shows i go to obv.

i get cred for being fucking awesome

why the fuck is christ getting all up in arms about FUCKING IWSMOFFY

he obviously likes them a lot...

[QUOTE=witchxrapist;18344215]i get cred for being fucking awesome[/QUOTE]

not for secretly being a 14 y/o girl who sends xMatthewx lewdz?

[QUOTE=witchxrapist;18344200]people like screamo for one reason

cred[/QUOTE]

sometimes I get the feeling that most people are like this. that's a bit lame. "cred" was for the record not what attracted me to emo/hardcore in the first place. I was hardly playing air guitar/miming to Mineral as a kid for "cred", LOL.

most people think emo/screamo is like sum41 here so thats not really the cred i want

lol liking skramz for cred

most people think skramz is like BMTH so ya

maybe if you hang around idiots.

anyone with an understanding of music anymore knows what screamo is (at least that's my experience.)

you're assuming most people have an understanding of music

well maybe you guys hang around people with bad music taste idk

maybe its cause like

people are different in different states

and we dont live in the same state

so theres like

different people and scenes
