Week Ninety-Nine - "Since we are the subject of sub-par music, how about this so-called 'Punk Revival' - bo-talent acts like Blink 182 and the like? And what's the deal with Emo?"

"'The darkeness grabs me...it tries to pull me in...I won't let it...I'm hunting for dinner...'"
-"George Carney"

"Umm, I wouldn't call it a revival, more of a new interest...Blink 182 has been around for aboot 10 years now, their sound has roots with the Descendents, The Vandals, and countless other shitty bands date back to around 1980. And Emo simply does not exsist."

"Who cares about this 'punk revival', I would like to make a point or two. Now that hockey is over for the evening, I flip over to your local NBC station and what is on? 'FINGER PAINTING' (as it is know to many ASU Hockey players). Oh, I mean Figure Skating. Now as most hockey players know, you start at a young age, But these freakin' $1.50s grow up to raid their mother's closet and become full fledged $3.00 bills. Do you think that a bunch of guys can be any more GAY? Nothing against the GAY community, but HONESTLY STAY IN YOUR COMMUNITY! We don't need them getting on national TV screwing up the youth of America. Can you imagine if your son (God forbid most of us have kids) says to you, 'Dad, what do you think I would look like in tight pants, an open polyester shirt with rhienstones?'. I don't wanna sound queer or nothin, but YOU BRING HIM TO A FREAKIN' STRIP CLUB and show him the finer points of the opposite sex. But seriously, figure skating does not need to be on at the end of the night, it leads to nightmares. Would someone please make some phone calls?! Well speakin' of Gay, EMO get so freakin' annoyin' that it makes me sick. All they do is whine about how girls treat them bad. You sound like little girls that had their doll stolen by there best friend. WAKE UP, THIS IS REALITY!! Stop your whining and deal with it."

"I don't know who came up with this question, but it's retarded, there is no such punk revival. There is just people discovering some amazing bands that have been around forever. Sure, most of Emo is whiny-ass rich kids that feel sorry for themselves, but there are some great bands (i.e. Getup Kids, Dashboard Confessional). Oh yeahm country rules, as does some Dave, but you fuckin' Burkenstock-tree-hugging-long-hairs ruin it for the rest of us though."

"I like the punk revival, it brings down the rap scene and stupid niggaz shouldn't be making money off being scumbags."

"Alright fuckers, here's the deal...Back in H.S. I was a fan of the New York Hard Core scene. Some of you older people who were with me when I first came to Albany saw this, you then proceeded to change my views REALLY fast. Matty Rich got me into the later works of Foghat, and the Blue Oyster Cult. Although I'll never forget the J. Geils Band doing "Freeze Frame", and some western New Yorkers screaming 'Ladies and gentleman, your 1983-1984 Rochester Americans!' Time Warp, I guess. But getting back to what I began to say...I liked the whole punk hardcore scene, the REAL punk scene, where in order to get into the show you had to donate a can of food. I spent many nights in CBGB, on Bleeker. Never went to an arena rock show. These shows had about 100 people at them. You could get on stage, sing with whoever was screaming, then jump off into the crowd. I got some SICK pictures. This was even when bands like Green Day and The Offspring were in the spotlight selling a zillion records and calling themselves 'PUNK'. The word 'PUNK' means a person out of the loop, someone who hasn't got a clue as to what's goin on. So, I do not like all these new so-called punk acts. It's just Rock with kids, with spiky hair jammin' power cords, that's all it is. HOWEVER, I do like Blink 182. I know, I know, 'BOOOOO'. I LOVE their lyrics. They deal with some sweet topics, like rejection by girls, which most of you all know I could write a novel. I like the music, I love the lyrics. It's more like poetry, yo. I mean, 99% of my away messages are Blink quotes. You read these lyrics and your like 'Holy crap...I can sooo see that happening to me'. It's weird, I dunno...the words really mean shit to me...it's cool. But anyway....'PIMPS UP. HOES DOWN. IF THAT BIAAATCH CAN'T SWIM, SHE'S BOUN' TO DRIZZZZOWN'."

"Well, having once dabbed in the punk rock music industry myself (under the nom de plume KILLER MOTHERFUCKER), I can certainly tell you that none of these crooners have a lick of the talent it takes for me to take a shite. Now, I have a Question of the Week for you - Do you think Blink 182 has the cajones to stand up to the....What the?!?! Hey!! STOP THAT!! YOU PUTRID, SCUMSUCKING MONKEY OF HELL!!CEASE THY PURSUIT AND STAND DOWN 'FORE I HAVE YOU RUN THROUGH!! I WILL KILL YOU AND YOUR...turquoise half-toaster, half-Rastafarian freakshow friend?? Well I don't...uh...Sorry about that...damned acid flashbacks...And Emos rule...I got to pet one at the zoo one time, even after it took a crap on my uncle."

"To the anonymous poster: suck my ass. If this is Matt Rich, ha ha yuck yuck, very funny. Yet another example of how to lose your hair, yet still remain conceited. If it is not, you are a tool. Matt's a great guy, very proud. But I think you can take his cock out of your mouth now, although I'm sure he appreciates it. Get a life. Loser."
