I'm not even sure I know what "emo" means, but I think many of the art students I went to school with could have been emo. Like, "I'm a complex person...nobody understands me, or why I have my hair flopped over one eye". "Oh, and just LOVE The Smiths."

ok. good emotionalize and sensational argument. now we're getting somewhere. so, when were you beaten? recently? or perhaps you parcipated in a beating and heard the word used? did it mean they were suspected homosexuals? or perhaps feminine and therefore and insult to women?

"i can certainly think of a large number of terms that are certainly insulting. like i really hate being called an "artist" when, as you are beaten and killed, your attackers are yelling "artist" at you then I will take up your cause. Until then, as a gay person, it just makes me think someone as intelligent as yourself could probably find more suitable words in your vocabulary.

i would never call you an artist

2008-03-03 16:57:07

oh, and i really thought "sunny day real estate" were an interesting and solidly musical combo, even though they helped pioneer "emo". i even worked on some of their stuff. but, i realize now the evil of their ways and don't praise them.

2008-03-03 16:54:33

art chantry :

luna - well, until i actually am told it's a slur by the organized and generalized coalition of folks who representative and have a reasonable argument to present, then i have to assume it only insults a couple of oversensitive folks out there. i'll happily stand corrected then, and will honestly remove the word from my lexicon. as it stands right now, i have been told by many folks that it isn't a slur. and i have been told by only a couple that it is. so, educate me with info, not isolated opinion. besides, a person's sexual interests is of no interest to me (well, maybe in a kinky sort of way). however, i view the term "fag" as a generalized area of interests describing taste and culture. men who have feminized interests (straight or not) are 'fags' in the cultural slang. it's origins are not sexual. the sexual reference is of very recent origin. the word "gay" is older usage and it's not necessarily a slur, either. calling someone "homosexual" isn't a slur, either. since when is it bad to be called "homosexual" in contemporary culture unless you are a bigot? i can certainly think of a large number of terms that are certainly insulting. like i really hate being called an "artist", i find it degrading and belittling and more than a little stupid/ignorant. however, i don't run around condemining folks for using it. it seems trivial. any professional-level activist gay folks out there who want to officially step in with the collective opinion? but, this is a great poster. have you noticed the tv screen?

strawberryluna :

mike - of course, i'm sure that lots of us have male, gay friends who use the word. but gay dudes using "fag" is like african americans using the N word with each oter. co-optation of a slur, when you aren't part of the slurred group is weird territory. and, i don't think that was the original use here, or in most cases when men get into pissing contests with one another over who is more macho.

I like Dag Nasty. I was listening to the Decedents last night and I'll be damned if they don't fit the emo mold pretty well. The gay dude's I know don't generally have a problem with the word Fag. And I kind of think over the course of time it's intent has been weakened in the lexicon. But, I'm not gay so i guess it'd be tough for me to really speak for the er... "Fags".

hey, if gay people like certain kinds of music, it's not an insult to call it "fag music". "fag" is not an insult, last i looked. "fags" drift around a number of scenes and are instrumental in establishing them in the mainstream. i consider it an honor is somebody calls me a 'fag'. it means i have the ability to create taste and popularize ideas. al popular art is faggy, but some of it is more concentrated in particular subcultures. not that there's anything wrong with that. perhaps if i said "gay" it's NOT an insult? check your brain and find the problems with that.

robbie - i think your reaction to me is both hypocritical and hilarious. yer a real number, ya know? don't you think this whole silly "argument" is a laff riot? i do. i've built an entire career and an international reputation based entirely upon ignoring "good" taste and "other peoples'" rules of proper behaviour. yet, you get upset at being called (actually my calling emo fans) a 'fag' and somebody actually taking you to task on naming yourself "fuct". good lord, you are a silly man, robbie.

heel, robbie should stand up and shout from the highest rooftops - 'SAY IT LOUD, I LIKE EMO, CALL MYSELF 'FUCT' - AND I'M PROUD!!!!"

2008-03-02 15:11:54

art chantry :

besides, some of my best friends are gay. there's no shame in it.

2008-03-02 15:09:28

whiteyhouston :

actually, I kind of skimmed some of the shit down yonder, so maybe it's warranted I dunno

2008-03-02 15:09:16

art chantry :

why not? he was an ass to me after i made sweeping snide generalizations about "emo" like, big deal. this is gp and we're all been complete swine on this sight. i havva right.

2008-03-02 15:07:08

whiteyhouston :

I agree with Richie..

2008-03-02 15:06:47

whiteyhouston :

imo

2008-03-02 15:05:58

whiteyhouston :

I'm not a fan of Emo and agree with your assessment of it basically, but, there's no need to be excessively condescending to Robbie

2008-03-02 15:05:34

art chantry :

b-droid - oops! sorry! i get 'robbie fuct' and 'robbie fucked' mixed up all the time. dunno why...

2008-03-02 15:03:59

RichieGoodtimes :

I have no idea what emo is.

2008-03-02 15:03:58

art chantry :

y'all can chide me all you want. but if "someone like me" (thank you) dislikes emo in a 'self-lowred" generalized sort of way, i think you should listen to me. you said so yourself. cockassery aside, emo is like opera. stinko. wonderful gay traditions and all, but i can't stand it. but, that's just one man's opinion.

2008-03-02 15:00:33

Who's this Robbie Fucked that he's talking about?

2008-03-02 14:35:05

cockassery for cockassery's sake, kinda lame.

i bet the strokes spend as much time putting their look together as ratt did.

2008-03-02 14:00:10

Rob :

wait, robbie is emo?

2008-03-02 13:58:45

this is why I preferred RATT CHATT.

2008-03-02 13:56:03

Robbie Fuct :

you didnt hurt my feelings at all. i just think its really funny that someone like you would lower yourself to just straight name calling. i deal with it when its some 16 year old hipster making fun outside a boys like girls concert. but i mean how old are you? if it was metal and someone insulted it this place would get all defensive. but because its emo its a whole different story. go and use my name to make yourself like a jackass. im fine with it.

art chantry :

robbie - golly! i'm sorry i hurt you sensitive and personal FEELINGS about emo. it's hard to believe that anybody who uses the last name of FUCKED could be so in touch with his feminine side. but, i guess emo folks are such a bundle of deep profound emotive surprises, huh? i'll gaze at the floor for a while and dig deep into my personal child and find the proper emotions to express myself more sensitively in the future. i sense there is a more personal path of politically correct self-righteousness that i can follow if you direct me unselfishly. i can find the path to a smaller carbon footprint and unity with all things living on our shared planet in distress. thanks you SO MUCH for having the personal integrity and emotional wisdom and self-conscious self-righteousness to point out my insensitive failings, mr. FUCKED. - arthur samuel wilbur chantry III (aka "skippy")

you guys are some condescending jocks sometimes. i like that art said fags buy emo. that really added to it.

2008-02-29 23:59:34

I do and I agree with Art. Emo bands' posters have birds on them. Or cats.

2008-02-29 21:28:25

2008-02-29 15:27:12

art chantry :

i don't think real rockers care about inner feelings - unless it pertains to killing everybody. emo is an abomination . it is anti-rock. anti-punk. anti-good. emo is whiney, baby talk. emo is sniveling and childish. emo is a total waste of energy (what little it has). i've never heard an emo band that didn't make me laugh out loud and then wanna gag. and girls don't buy emo. fags buy emo. sensitive, sensitive, oh SO sensitive. makes me wanna slap them around and say, "get over it!" never heard of les breast feeders. izatta band or sumthin'?

2008-02-29 15:16:20

rockologist :

"And I find Les Breast feeders to be infinitely more interesting than all of them combined." we learned a lot that day.

Robbie Fuct :

"sensitive emo rockers really fucked things up. they have a lot to answer for. i really don't give the slightest shit about the inner feelings of twenty year old boys." - luckily youre not their target audience. they can rely on all of your teenage daughters, neices, grandchildren that do care about their inner feelings.

I've only listened to a half hour or so, and I liked what I heard...but if Estrus is getting ignored there, I gotta wonder. I won a Sirius unit through CBC Radio 3 a while back. Every once in a while, I think about renewing my sub.

2008-02-26 20:12:03

naduval :

I dunno dude, The Underground Garage is a pretty good channel...

2008-02-26 19:36:41

El Negro Magnifico! :

I always thought of "garage" as a catch-all for primitive, straight-ahead rock n' roll, based on what came out of the 50s and 60s, but it gets kinda messy when you try and put all of that under one umbrella. Sucks about Little Steven's show. One more reason for me to not mess with Sirius. And yes, Les Breastfeeders SLAY.

2008-02-26 19:31:39

MaximumFluoride :

Right! Only, I never really cared too much. I just figured people DIDNT like me to begin with. That way if they do like you... it's a pleasent surprise. HaHa!!

2008-02-26 19:00:34

art chantry :

i'm discovering some really good points about it. like i don't care what people think of me much any more. that stuff is fading real fast.

Sucks getting old don't it?

sensitive emo rockers really fucked things up. they have a lot to answer for. i really don't give the slightest shit about the inner feelings of twenty year old boys.

MaximumFluoride :

There are some cool different things happening in metal again. Bands like Genghis Tron and such. They make me excited that people are coming up with new ways to add to the genre. It's surely better than all of the "ironic" indy rocker metal bands. Ooof!

2008-02-26 18:54:49

max - i keep waiting for something interesting to come along. and (aside from britney and amy) it just plain doesn't.

2008-02-26 18:50:24

MaximumFluoride :

Yeah, it's not really a style of music I followed. I like some. It's not unlike the thrash metal things that's going on now though. It's like it's 1988 all over again. Tons of those bands cropping up. It's scary when a big part of your life ends up as nostalgia for a bunch of kids.

2008-02-26 18:50:18

art chantry :

getoutoftheflame - i did my best. - art

2008-02-26 18:49:20

art chantry :

max - i think all of them sound like bands released on estrus over 15 years ago. but, i'm biased that way. also, old and heard it all once or twice by now.

2008-02-26 18:48:21

getoutoftheleftlane :

no, but i do appreciate the effort, art.

2008-02-26 18:47:12

MaximumFluoride :

I think the White Stripes are about 100x more interesting than the Stokes. But, I find the Hives 100x more interesting than them. And I find Les Breast feeders to be infinitely more interesting than all of them combined.

2008-02-26 18:46:03

art chantry :

if it makes you feel any better, i think it was a typo. i think he meant "big" warty penises. feel better?

2008-02-26 18:41:38

art chantry :

oh, and "garageshock" was a word that dave came up with for his weekend music event that he sort of regretted. he coined it way early - in the 80's, i think - and then it stuck and the scene got the label. then there were "garageshocks' being held all over the country and it took off in that direction. he never intended that at all. it was just a concert, not a scene. sort of a mistake that couldn't be taken back.

2008-02-26 18:39:44

getoutoftheleftlane :

i'm sorry, but the words "bug, warty penises" is still echoing in my mind and the visual is rather unpleasant. this poster, on the other hand, is VERY nice.

2008-02-26 18:37:48

art chantry :

when you start getting into whether or not "garage" is even a category, then it gets very vague. just what exactly is "garage" anyway? whatever definition you come up with, i can blow a hole through it. but, in new york city, the strokes are considered garage. dunno why. i think most of the "music industry" pur them in that vague category. listen to little steven's radio show to learn all about garage. it's a "garage rock" show that refuses to play anything on estrus. go figger. it's like estrus never existed. at estrus, nobody called it garage rock, anyway. it was called lots of things (you can use your imagination), but the folks around the estrus scene thought of it as punk. or hotrod. or surf. but, "garage" was too "retro" even for that scene. that term rankled nerves. i saw fights over the word.

2008-02-26 18:32:25

MaximumFluoride :

Are the Strokes really a garage band? I never heard that in them at all. they just seem like boring collage rock. Garage rock is at least interesting. And that singers drooooning style of singing? Yikes.

yes, and some people have bug, warty penises...doesnt mean we want to see them waved about in public.

they flourish in the suburbs but i think we can blame NYC.

I'm pretty sure fauxhawks were born in the suburbs.

2008-02-26 12:55:11

i bet NYC gaves us the faux hawk as well.

Meritocracy- 1. an elite group of people whose progress is based on ability and talent rather than on class privilege or wealth. 2. a system in which such persons are rewarded and advanced: The dean believes the educational system should be a meritocracy. 3. leadership by able and talented persons. I wish this is the way world was; however, I'm afraid I would still likely find my self in the lower middle.

2008-02-26 12:54:27

NYC also gave us the Irony Mullet. Also known as the $250 Mullet.

2008-02-26 12:52:34

and the strokes KNEW people given that the lead singer's dad own the elite modeling agency.

2008-02-26 12:49:38

hell of a nice poster, though. i wonder who it is at hatch who is suddenly doing all these great posters? there must be a name there somewhere...

2008-02-26 12:49:32

Well, no city is a meritocracy. It always matters who you know. But no city in the world is less a meritocracy than NYC.

every small city in america - hell in the western hemisphere - hell, the world! - has a strokes in their town. have had for over 40 years. are any ot them as big as the strokes? no. not really. well, maybe the white stripes. but, they sound like an early 90's estrus band to me (but i'm biased that way). check it out and get back to me if i'm wrong. there are great classic garage bands all over that never get the attention of a strokes simply because the strokes are nyc based. it's a reality. media. machine. money.

2008-02-26 12:42:44

Surgery is the breakout NYC band of the 90's!!

again, this is the internet. we only speak the truth here. restricted truth, as well. some truth is better than other truth. so watch your step.

2008-02-26 12:30:29

JohnnyJack :

I tought this was just to comment on posters. No one told me I could spout my thoughts and opinions on the bands relevance or whether or not they are even any good! Yes!! My comment numbers are going to Skyrocket!

2008-02-26 12:29:35

art chantry :

actually, i was gonna sell him the brooklyn bridge, because he'd probably pay more money for since it's in new york and is therefore the first bridge and so much cooler, etc.

2008-02-26 12:27:58

the hipoisie :

but nobody wants to buy a bridge in tacoma, art.

2008-02-26 12:26:39

crosshair :

There are no sustainable musical movements that come from New York anymore. Only fashion movements. Anything that starts as a creative spark gets named and co-opted by fashionistas and then dies in two months, when their attention is drawn elsewhere, to some new all-night cocaine-and-haircut scene. Anyone remember "Electroclash?"

nyc invented punk? and i have a bridge i want to sell you. cheap! good lord, go back to wikipedia and read it and learn the truth. nothing but truth on the net, ya know.

2008-02-26 12:19:46

kentuckychrome :

but NYC invented PUNK! c'mon. check wikipedia if you don't believe me. i love the poster. i don't know how "relevant" or "hyped" the strokes are anymore, though.

2008-02-26 12:18:11

Beto Ramirez :

Muy bueno!

2008-02-26 11:52:01

art chantry :

really nice poster, though.

2008-02-26 11:35:15

art chantry :

the strokes is a band only of interest to new york. the rest of the country saw versions of the strokes a million times over the last 40 years. garage rock is still considered "new" only in new york city. they never had a garage scene. and the stokes are just so tired sounding out of the gate. the reason the stokes are selling is because new york city's hype machine is turned on full bore to the local garage band, even thought it's a good 20 years behind the rest of the country.

2008-02-26 11:26:07

I LOVE this, but not for the Strokes/EODM.
