Your Mom thinks you whine too much? Become a Punk/Emo Singer.

Just when I started thinking for a split second that MTV might have some good videos finally, with System of a Down and Green Day both having videos out now, my semi-relinquished faith was shattered like a glass by another whiny voice.

So, a video by Hawthorne Heights came on. Like I haven't heard this same exact song about a million times by now; Simple Plan, Lost Prophets, American Hi-Fi, Saves the Day, Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday, and almost every other band that comes along and wants to be Punk. Granted, some of those bands do it better than others and have some control over sounding whiny and bitch-like.

I think I've heard less whining when I was on line for my free Pastrami and Rye sandwich at the Bagel store (sorry Brian...couldn't think of any other "whiny" analogy.)

I'm about to break down my system of morals and start listening to Rap if I don't start hearing some kind of change in lead singer's voices in Punk bands. This is why I don't watch MTV much, because I start getting all mad because they have the same chewed up and regurgitated crap all the time. I think the last truly great innovation that I heard as far as Punk-Rock goes was a few years ago when the Transplants released their first album. I need to hear something new that I haven't heard before before I'm going to spend any money on this crap that they're releasing now.
