(sorry if i accidentally double posted)

I do understand where you’re coming from though, and my being hostile is really only sarcasm, which is undetected by keystrokes.
I know what you mean, and I’ll be changing the post-punk to post-hardcore, which is essentially what I meant, but was just typing quickly and figured it wouldn’t matter when I looked over the review. So, now we need a new fight over something…

Post-punk vs. Zhuelist?
I give a vote for Zhuelist music.

Also, post-punk is not necessarily just a genre, it was musical movement, say, like the British Invasion, or grunge (/shudder).

Don’t see where such hostility came from you and your counterpart, all I said is that a remark like that, comparing a absolute shit trend w/ something influential like the post-punk movement, may make you look like an asshole.

I am simply doing exactly what you were doing in your review… “so you like Underoath and their “screams”? Are they xxxhxcxxx? Do you like it in your butt?”

You don’t want people to lump one of your favorite bands, in this case Fall of Troy, into the same genre as Underoath, just because they scream and are pretty heavy.

Well… aren’t I doing the same thing? Wanting others to not misinform and lump some of my beloved bands into the same arena as The Devil Wears Prada.

So, I’ll just go be a fuckshit now.

I wasn’t talking about all those old school bands that started the trend… those guys know what music means. I was talking about the current scene of bands that throw “post” before a genre such as post-hardcore, post-indie (yes, I’ve heard a band call themselves that), post-rock (which doesnt make sense). I apologize for throwing words. Those bands you mention in the actual post-punk genre I just consider them punk. I try not to put these detailed labels on the groups that I like because its bullshit the way everyone categorizes everything.

You know The Killers call themselves “post-punk” at times? Isn’t that insulting to you? That is the kind of post-punk I was talking about.

Also, you are getting GI-FUCKING-GANTICALLY angry about a genre. A genre that I listed while thinking about CURRENT bands and indiefucks that are into all that stuff. I have absolute respect and love for Joy Division, Gang of Four, and Sonic Youth (who probably also fall into that category- let me know if I am GI-FUCKING-GANTICALLY off). And by reading your comment, I just now looked into Mission of Burma and enjoy them immensely- so thanks for that.

Oh, and you’re the one saying how people don’t like extreme different genres, but I just listened to See You Next Tuesday, John Zorn, Kaada, Johnny Guitar Watson, Volta, and Rhapsody of Fire while getting a shower and getting dressed this morning. I don’t give a fuck about genres. Just give me some music with heart in it.

Oh, and picky assholes like you who actually care what you label bands under are ruining music anyway. And I’m sure you’re enough of an asshole to continually check back on this site for when I respond… and you might even respond back. I’m ashamed that my name is Greg.

Nobody, absolutely nobody that enjoys post-punk enjoys scene metal. Those two genres couldn’t be further from each other. It’s like saying someone who enjoys death metal enjoys Kenny G.

You compared scene metal, a modern music trend, a very, very awful and shitty musical trend, w/ post-punk, a musical movement which had a GI-FUCKING-GANTIC influence on modern music, especially modern independent music, as independent music would not exist if it weren’t for bands like Mission of Burma, Gang of Four, Wire, Bauhaus, The Birthday Party, This Heat, The Fall, Pere Ubu, Magazine, Joy Division.

Don’t blindly throw around words. Do some research. Just a few seconds of interwebz searching informed me that Fall of Troy are on or were at one time on an independent label. Now, putting post-punk, again which is partly responsible for independent music, independent labels, the DIY ethic, etc. on the same level as scene metal? Well, that certainly makes you look like an asshole. John Peel would be rolling in his grave.

Take the time and educate yourself before you toss around words you don’t know.
