my concern is that all these bands like good charlotte, simple plan and sum 41 are becoming really mainstream so im worried that the good bands won't get signed anymore.

<p>And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping. The moon tells me a secret. My confidant. As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own. A million light reflections pass over me. It's source is bright and endless. She resuscitates the hopeless. Without her we are lifeless satellites dreaming dreams. And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt. Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism. I must crucify the ego before it's far too late. I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.

as long as you look around... you'll find good music. go to some shows. i guess that works for me... i like ska punk (real punk) and some hardcore emo (i feel like such a faggot saying that) if you look around, you'll find music you like....


^good charleote simple plan and sum41 are not real punk they're just riding the curl until its not poplular to be a mall punk anymore, then they'll go away. dont worry.
and now its international security. the call of the righteous men.

Sum 41 is actually gettting away from the pop/punk though... I mean their last album was not nearly as poppy as the previous one. They adopted a harder sound which is kind of seperating themselves from groups like GC and SP.

i try to ignore dumb music and just focus on the good.
there is a lot more good than bad i think, you just have to look beyond what the radio force feeds you.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

Oh and the new "Punk" revolution is non-existant as a real Punk, or Rock Revolution, its just a Pop fad with spiky hair and a skate board.
You and me both buddy. You and me both. Im listening to the new lost prophets and its lack luster :evil:

MG is a good example of good music now-a-days. If you're having trouble finding good music, then take a look at his stuff.
