Im just glad dooms inexplicable popularity well after it should have died off is distracting all the thundering manboys from my martial folk and black metal. I still remember the day the afi singer dude started wearing shirts of good bands (that i guarantee he doesnt listen to) on the cover of AP and a week later all the fucktards that showed up at first period in dickeys and death in june shirts. Nooooooope.

I wouldn't underestimate Davey Havok. AFI are posterboys for mallcore now, but there was a time when they went hard.
If you're gonna slag on Black Sails on the Sunset (1999) and Art of Drowning (2000), well, that's just unreasonable.

It's true LOL
Never got into The Offspring. I remember everybody loving them so much when I was in high school.
TBH, as in most cases where it is possible, I know all of the words to the Weird Al parody, and none of the words to the actual song.
I guess there was drama between the two bands? And I'm too disinterested to look it up.

They have songs with the dude from the offspring. They never 'went hard'. That's the point here.

False. They were on Nitro records so the collaboration seemed natural enough.
For an entire generation of scene kids they were a gateway drug and, listening to them now, everything holds up. There was a time when there were things I was unable to articulate that AFI articulated for me. As with all emo music, it reminds me of the C.S. Lewis quote, "We read to know we're not alone." That's why people like me listen to music.

So, basically, they're war criminals and should be tried as such. Noted.

This literally makes no sense at all.
Has anyone ever told you to
go choke on your irony?

No shame in this quote! LOL. Applies to any number of other bands, too.

As that whole wave of alkaline trio, against me whatever "thinking mans mall emo" went I always found those two albums the least offensive. However, just because it's the first garbage you'd eat if you were homeless doesn't mean it's not a piece of trash.

Alkaline Trio had some 10/10, A++ songs. I don't even really think of them as an album band. They had some albums that were better than others, by virtue of being better collections of songs. "Radio" is one of my favourite songs of all time, ranked. "Clavicle," "I'm Dying Tomorrow," "Hell Yes," all great. From
Crimson on is shit, though.
No idea why you lumped Against Me! in with emo? They were folk punk, right up until they sold out, whereupon they were pop-punk, and lately they've been the torchbearers for trans punk, and a little rougher than the previous two albums, because Laura produced it herself instead of Butch Vig. The first few releases from AM! are classic punk records and I have no idea why people shit on them so hard? Unless you're a fan that's still bitter about the selling out to which I say, whatever, she was depressed, get over it.
This song is great, from last year's album.

No. No. No.
No.
We are not turning this into a fucking pop punk thread.
Case, have you heard the older Savages album? You might appreciate this song a little more if you did.
