Oh man, this is so emo

Moving in the middle of High School was difficult, luckily emo music was there to fill that hole. However, as we have all quickly learned emo is kind of lame or at least has become one of the most supremely shameful things to actually take seriously. Its lyrics are cookie cutter and its ideas always center around relationships being ripped apart by distance, betrayal, and our own emotional problems. Nevertheless, Steve and I have just learned to embrace our High School emo days. Who can forget bans like Jimmy Eat World, the Get Up Kids, Ozma, The Juliana Theory, The Promise Ring, Thursday, and, of course, Dashboard Confessional? Steve and I had a great friend named Bryant, with whom we would always label the world around us as "emo". You gave a girl a sandwich: that "was so emo". Didn't have enough money for a dollar movie ticket: that "was so emo". Getting turned down a dance by a New Era photographer: that "was so emo". Eating cereal in all my clothing: that "was so emo". Because emo to me is all about nerd-type-love-awkwardness. Please enjoy Steve and mine's cover of Dashboard's "This Sharp New Hint of Tears"...
