Aha! moment
I've really been digging some bands lately that my husband dubbs, um, how does he put it ... "pussy rock" (sorry if I'm offending anyone here) -- bands like Jimmy Eat World, Yellowcard, Weezer, etc. Anyway, I found out today that there's a real name for this kind of music. It's called Emo! (That's short for emotional, according to the Real Music Player music guide.) No wonder I like it, huh? Have I been under a rock? Did everyone else out there know that a new label had been applied to what I thought was just a neo-punk-based sound, but still under the whole "Alternative" genre? They also have another subgenre called "Twee Pop/Cuddlecore". Does that make anyone else laugh hysterically? Maybe I should start submitting my husband's titles ...
