The band that began the MTV emo movement. Marked by turbulent member changes and their leade singer's poppy vocals, the video that broke them, Cute Without the 'e' (Cut From the Team), was based on Fight Club.

The best emo band ever known that put on an awsome show ever time they play which is totally kick ass. Also can make a concert good even if the other bands are as bad as Simple Plan or Hole or some other shitty band

Taking Back Sunday is a very popular and succesful band that came from Long Island. The band has fame, fortune, popularity, which makes up for it untalented and uninspiring music. The bands deadly predators are hard rock, black metal, grunge, and heavy metal bands with talent along with punk bands from the 70s and 80s. Taking Back Sunday is also afraid of singing and talent.
TBS Fan: Taking Back Sunday is the greatest rock n roll band of all!
Smart man: NO they aren't
Retarded man: ha ha, they suck
college girl: yeah they do suck, and that retard doesn't even know that he just crapped his pants
woman: yeah TBS does suck
sleazy guy: hahaha, you're a retard! Hey, if you lick the electrical outlet, you will become a mighty morphin power ranger.
TBS fan: really! cool!
*BUZZ*
sleazy guy: whoa! I didn't know she was gonna do that
Smart man: NO they aren't
Retarded man: ha ha, they suck
college girl: yeah they do suck, and that retard doesn't even know that he just crapped his pants
woman: yeah TBS does suck
sleazy guy: hahaha, you're a retard! Hey, if you lick the electrical outlet, you will become a mighty morphin power ranger.

I've seen Taking Back Sunday five times.

a band who created their own genre of music, despite their label of emo. The painfully origional lyrics, and catchy guitar riffs make them hard not to love. Adams vocals rip through you like a crying orphan. They have an amazing stage presence and give all their energy into their shows.
taking back sunday is love.
taking back sunday is love.

A simple rock band with semi-complex lyrics, an unoriginal instrumental sound, yet unique lyrical composition. Tending to repeat phrases coined by them truely, the band has been named emo, although they are nothing close to it. They have been unfortunate enough as to have been considered an 'emo-clone', coined 'emo' by some lame know-it-all somewhere who hadn't heard the term since the late 80's or early 90's, and thought they'd have a good time making up an incredibly irrevelant definition to an uncommon word. That being said, Taking Back Sunday is simply a rock band, and nothing more. Not emo, punk-rock, or pop-rock. Just rock at its simplest. Mainstream all the same, soon to be another MTV band since they signed with a major record label, after a successful run on Victory Records and the Vans Warped Tour. There's no denying, the band has talent, and deserve the success coming to them in the near future.
