Col_Buendia said:Too fucking right my friend. And do you think even one of these eye-lined, floppy haired fuckwits has even heard the name of bands of genius such as Dag Nasty or 7 Seconds? Naw, I doubt it... grrr... kids these days, they can't even come up with their own names for their so-called "movements". Bowel Movements, if you ask me...

I-Roy said:Didn't they used to be called ' Indie saddos' when I was a kid?

haylz said:Exactly...but less of the saddos please!!!
Now they stick a metallica t-shirt with a pair of stripey socks, add a bit of eyeliner and voila yet another rehashed youth culture born out of ignorance and commercialism![]()
Sally websters kid has alot to answer for i tell you![]()
llantwit said:I've gotta admit that I thought there must be fuck-loads of the little bastards around - but that was alrgely down to seig hundreds of them gathered on the lawn outside city hall. Maybe that's all of them, and they aren't so numerous as I thought. Funeral for a Fucking Friend my arse - they are a truly shit band. Is there any good emo music?

nwnm said:Christ calm down.....sounding a bit middle aged there. Aren't they doing what kids of 16 are supposed to do? Hang about in gangs and experiment with drink/drugs/sex - and maybe think about alternatives to the mainstream? <Lets not forget at its height punk was so 'alternative' you could buy bondage trousers for a fiver out of the small ads in the NME>. I quite like the fact that Wolfmother sound a bit like MC5 <not as much as The Moonie Suzuki though>. I'm also quite fond of the fact that the Ordinary Boys remind me of the Specials a bit. Good luck to 'em <whatever incarnation youth rebellion will look like by the time I finish typing this that is>.
Undercover Plod are probably still wearing flowery shirts and headbands![]()

Col_Buendia said:And the Ordinary Boys? I thought they were the Madness rip-off act?

how dyou purport to know what i think clever clogs?lewislewis said:Not in the way you think. More to do with showing various emotions in general, not crying or that kind of thing, but i'm no expert on the subject.
