I heart the ninja!]]>
I actually sat through the end of TRL today at 9 in the morning and I was appalled by what kind of songs people are listening to. It makes me wonder why people would subject their ears to this kind of assault.
Songs like Lip Gloss by Lil' Mama made number 1, I mean just read this hook:
[Hook:]
What you know bout me
What you
What you
What you know bout me
What you know bout me
What you
What you
What you know
They say my lip gloss is cool
My lip gloss be poppin
Im standin at my locker
And all the boys keep stopping
What you know bout me
What you
What you
What you know bout me
What you know bout me
What you
What you
What you know
They say my lip gloss is lip gloss is poppin
My lip gloss is cool
All the boys keep jockin
They chase me after school
It's catchy, I admit, but a kindergartner could write better, more intellegent lyrics. I'm so glad that we have artists like Hillary Duff to even out what they play on TRL *rolls eyes*
Isn't It funny how MTV Picks up a couple "Emo" bands off FUSE every once in awhile and the white suburban rich MTV fans love "Emo" in small doses? Fall Out Boy, AFI, Taking Back Sunday, Panic At The Disco, and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus have been tossed into the mainstream, which is great for them and their careers, but if you really want to meet a real fan wait a year or two after they are on TRL or MTV and go to their shows in a small town. I guarantee every single person will sing along with every song.
But I'm getting off topic. I'm begging for something like My Chemical Romance's "Disenchanted" or Fall Out Boy's "You're Crashing, But You're No Wave" to somehow break through and knock some sense into the general public that swallows what they are fed from MTV and VH1.
Does anyone else feel the same way? I'm desparate to know if I'm just crazy or people really are that dumb and like the songs on MTV.
If you aren't familiar with the Lip Gloss song, here is a link to the video:
]]>This is not a fanfic, this is not a story where I get to fuck Pete Wentz or something stupid like that. This is a story of our band, Social Suicide.
Lily hit the snooze button for the fifth time this morning and rolled over. She sat up and put her glasses on.
Like every morning; she was late. She had no time for a shower or make up so she threw on her dirty From First To Last t-shirt and some jeans.
She picked up her bag and walked out the dooor to wait for the bus. Like any other highschool student, she was only wearing a hoodie in
the middle of winter. 10 minutes went by, still no bus. Then 15, then 20. "Fucking Great!" She said under her breath.
This was the third day in a row that her bus driver "forgot" to pick her up. Just then Vicky pulled up in her old mustang.
"Get in, Babe!" Vicky yelled over Liar by Taking Back Sunday. "You missed the beginning of U.S. History and Mrs. Gardner told me I could come get you."
"Thanks Vick, I'm sick of that idiot skipping my house." Lily Yelled
*At School*
School was the same as usual. The lunch room full of preps and jocks, and all of her friends eating in the auditorium sitting on the stage.
Loryn looked around the auditorium and said, "Guys I've been thinking."
"Well, there's a suprize!" Brianna interrupted.
"Anyway, we should be in the talent show!" Loryn said She stood up and walked around on the stage.
"Doing what? Playing in a band?" Lily joked elbowing Liz and laughing.
"Yes." Loryn replied seriously.
"You're joking, aren't you?" Liz said still laughing.
"No, I'm not! Guys think about it, I've sang for My Chemical Romance's producer. Liz's brother plays bass and she learning from him.
Brianna, you can play drums for us. Remember the time you filled in for Christian's band? Lily, you are taking guitar lessons. It will be great!" Loryn's speech wasn't as convincing as she had hoped.
"I filled in for two songs. Lily just started a month ago, Liz's brother sucks, and you're the only one that thinks this is a good idea." Brianna argued.
The bell rang and the group split up to go to their classes.
The halls were hell for the "scene" kids. Brianna got smashed into lockers, twice. Liz got tripped. Loryn got a couple of giggles form some skanky bitches in pink mini skirts. But Lily got the worst of it.
"Hey! Emo girl!" Some idiot yelled at her. She ignored him. "Are you gonna go home and cut yourself tonight?" She kept ignoring him but clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "You're just a fag anyway! Go kill yourself!"
This was the last straw. Lily turned around, dropped her bag and ran at him!
