17. story of the year
A "new" pop-punk-emo that nonetheless seems to rehash sentiments, lyrics, and cliches from a million other older, better emo/indie bands.

Deep if you've got an IQ of 50 or less or are a 13 year old girl.

Original if all you listen to is Good Charlotte.

Horrible if you have ears.
compare:
<Until the Day I Die> (beginning)

As years go by
I race the clock with you
But if you die right now
You know that I'd die to
I'd die too

You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does

We'll make the same mistakes
I'll take the fall for you
I hope you need this now
Cause I know I still do

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you


<Watermark> (middle)

I've got this store-bought way of saying I'm okay, and you've learned how to cry in total silence. We're talented and bright. We're lonely and uptight. We've found some lovely ways to disappoint, but the airport's always almost empty this time of the year, so let's go play on a baggage carousel. Set our watches forward like we're just arriving here from a past we left in a place we knew too well. (Hold on to the corners of today, and we'll fold it up to save until it's needed. Stand still. Let me scrub that brackish line that you got when soemthing rose and then receeded.)

One of these is full of cliches and platitudes and sounds like it was written by a twelve-year old. The other has fairly original lyrics. *hint* the first one is SOTY the second one is the Weakerthans

to all you poeple who think story of the year is emo, you are morons. they are rock, not emo.

An amazing rock band. Made up of 5 amazing, nice, hilarious guys. Who have made 2 amazing CD's. Page avenue, and in the wake of determination. Which is made up of a mix of rock, metal and 80's type music. They are all amazing at their instruments.
Story of the year is the best band in the entire world... They make amazing music. I love them all.
4. Story of the year
THEY ARE NOT EMO! They do not sing about killing themselves and about how much they hate their lives. all you people who say they are emo are basing that on their song "until the day i die" which is probably the only song you would know. and that's not even about killing themselves. its about being in the band and having good times. so stop thinking they are emo. because they are not.
story of the year are the most amazing band in the world. they are not emo, but rock. they make beautiful music.
5. Story of the Year
A band the preforms good emo songs and aren't one of those pop-punk sellouts. All in all, this is one heck of a good band that is a rare breed. Their music is 100% original and 100% Meaningful.
