In this record, they plan on breaking away from their usual 2-3 minute song style, and doing songs that are much longer. Heres a quote from an article: "A band that's known for the perfect two-minute song is now writing nine-minute epics," Armstrong says. "It's scary to think about." I'm really anticipating this Album. From what I've read, they went from the sound of Warning, to a more punk-ish sound, with major influences from bands like The Who. -------------------- <img src="http://tehnimmy.com/sigs/omg.php">

I hate these sort of conversations. It's always so trendy to talk about how dead a certain genre of music is.

Hottopic is catering to a fad. A fad for kids to get the attention they so desperately crave. Either that, or set themselves appart from everyone else.

I personally enjoy some of the clothes there. I don't like the people attached to it, but I do like the interesting styles offered. Maybe it's because I worked there - but I don't believe that everything has to be 'hardcore' genuine. Sure, punk started like a teenage rebellion, now it's a corporate fad. Enjoy the irony, fellas, it's like bell-bottoms and tye dye, but not nearly as badass.

It's not completely dead, but the punk that started in the 70's, and continued through the 80's is. Now it's all abou being whiney and emo. "Omgz my girlfriend left me, so ltes write a song about it! Now...what was her name again?" It's completely transformed from something that actually MEANT something, to something for angsty teens to cry to.

And no, you don't have to be "hardcore" to be punk, or anything else for that matter. But just about every hot topic punk/goth seem to think they ARE hardcore, just because they spent their mommy's money on some eye liner and black clothes.

Punk isn't really dead, it's just in hiding. ;)
