Despite the “emo” backlash, not everything associated with the genre is bad. After all, there needs to be music out there for the geeky and love-lorn. Since its 1999 release there have been many imitators and young copy-cats flooding the airwaves. It’s a shame these guys hit the marker a few years too early, or the kiddies would have gotten the real deal, rather than the flash-in-the-pan, boy bands of today. Granted, hearing too much whining and nasally voices will get on your nerves after a while, but the bouncing tunes will keep you happy through the tears.
