musically..

so people within the 'scene' know every band that seems 'sold out' or just plain stupid && poppy. howevs, people outside of that do not necessarily know which ones are not cool to listen to at all && when they stumble upon said bands, they think it is the absolute coolest thing EVER. for instance, all time low, we the kings, && mayday parade. all said bands were virtually unknown about a year a&& a half ago. seeing them at that time was pretty interesting, howevs, there were about 12 people watching their set. to this day, bands like all time low are totally selling out tours. in the instance of mayday parade, let me say that they played the very first slot of the day all summer on warped tour. that is the shittiest spot, by the way. but all of a sudden, when a bunch of cheerleaders in your ap psychology class find that band && find them uberly interesting && go out && buy a t-shirt thinking that it wil make them accepted with people who actualy give a crap about music. [p.s. && by the way, it doesnt. it just makes you seem more like a jackass than i already thought you were].

same thing goes for metro station, boys like girls, good charlotte, the maine, etc.

**main point** ONCE A BAND GETS WELL KNOWN AT ALL, IT IS INSTANTLY NOT COOL TO LIKE THEM OR RUN AROUND SCREAMING THEIR SONGS.

so... don't.

if you want to know any bands that someone within the music scene is cool or up-&&- coming, just ask. don't be a jackass.

&& of course this applies to every music scene, so not excluding things like metal or rap... or whatever youre into.
