i'll never cut or wash my hair and be morbidly uninteresting and i'll call it...hardcore by Miranda Hewins

unless you're watching a stupid bleached blonde slut leave her door unlocked and be stabbed by a masked stalker right after she finds out it was really him on the phone, screaming is not interesting. by no stretch of the imagination should one listen to another person whine (in scream form) about how mommy didn't love them and how daddy left them for death. these lyrical complaints shall be reserved for the dashboard confessional, secondhand serenade, simple plan whiners who aren't man enough to off themselves, so they throw out wordy metaphors in hope that someone out there will feel sorry for them. it just doesn't work for screamers.

to me, screamers see like they would be man enough to off themselves, so why is the genre still here? why do males (and the occasional female, which i'll discuss later) wake up in the morning, take hours making their hair look dirty and applying makeup (not david bowie or freddie mercury makeup either), and go out into the world loathing it instead of just ending their misery (and mine)? at least secondhand serenade has the decency to pretend like he's happy while making people listen to him dying on the inside whenever they buy one his albums.

(and i don't mean to make the hardcore genre sound exactly like the emo genre, but in all honesty, they're pretty much the same.)

granted, it does take talent to write the same story in 12 different ways. but i don't want to go buy a hardcore album and listen to every single one. i can maybe tolerate a simple plan album here and there, but that's because simple plan isn't in a genre where every single band in that genre is basically the same band that makes the same songs on the same albums.

females, on the other hand, at least have as much self-respect to complain in a whiney voice instead of a screaming one (credit automatic loveletter). 1-- you can actually understand what they're saying, 2-- you can hear musical talent in their voice, and 3-- they like to smell ice and have their hair be pretty (and if they don't, they hack it all off and wear big clothes and laugh manly-like, and those girls are excluded in this paragraph). but girls still fall for the guys who whine screamingly. i don't know why. they just have to be hardcore as well, without the so-called "musical talent."

i hope hardcore stops whining and kills itself. the world would be a better place without it.
