Emos - Even Brandon Flowers hates them


Jono

Recommended Posts

Emos annoy me, with their daft fringes etc. I hate Fallout Boy because I despise that idiots ridiculous emo voice, you can't understand a word he says, has anyone seen the brilliant parody videos on youtube? The first time I heard Panic! At the Disco I thought they were a joke band like the Darkness. Also, I hate emo song titles, why the hell do they have to be about two paragraphs long? No need!

Fall Out Boy album tracklist:

1 Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued

2 Of All The Gin Joints In All The World

3 Dance, Dance

4 Sugar, We're Goin Down

5 Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner

6 I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth

7 7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen)

8 Sophmore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year

9 Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends

10 I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written

11 A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More 'Touch Me'

12 Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going)

13 XO

Panic! At the Disco are almost as bad. Leave it out!!!

What I dislike about emos here is that they feel they're inferior. They have to sit outside The Forum in Norwich. No one else can as they're too busy playing with their latest magic tricks or playing with fire or something. It's a public library for goodness sake. And then when the weather gets nice, a few will come to the gardens in the city and sit around and do the same there. Word gets around that's where the cool emos are and by the middle of the day you'll find it's been swamped by them.

They had no consideration for those having a peaceful lunch or those just wanting to laze about in the sun. They'll walk around topless with their long coats on and just irritate the hell out of me.

Emo kids would always come and just mope outside the entrance to my halls. I never got why because the only view they get from there is the boards surrounding the car park of the theatre. People (not me!) would occasionally throw water filled condoms at them from the kitchen windows. It was quite funny...

I have no problems with emos. And i totally love Brandon Flowers but dragging up a 2 year old thread to announce your an emo irritates me. Your not self obsessed but you thought we would care about you in your first thread :| Nah.

    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
