dashboard confessional syndrome

a disease that bands often catch in their early days of writing. not yet fully confident of their skills they tend to stick with similar sounding music and the lyrics often focus on a single event, making it difficult to degress between different songs. Originating from the band Dashboard Confessional, who despite being veteran musicians of 4 albums, lead singer Chris still writes material about his high school romances. Hence DCS may also refer to someone who hasnt got any since high school.
Reckless liaison had some wicked tunes on last years album, but their new stuff is hinting that maybe the guys have a little bit of Dashboard Confessional syndrome.

Look at Mikey, he's your classic case of DCS. its been nearly ten years since graduation and he can't even manage to afford a hooker.

Dashboard Confessional

A band with a thirty year old singer singing about teenage problems. According to my friend who listens to real emo, this band is not emo. So haha.
Haha, you take advice from someone old enough to be your dad.

dashboard confessional

Holy sh*t this band sucks along with all of the others in their genre. When are flip-flop-wearing, angst-ridden suburbanites going to realize that whiny vocals and repetitive power-chord strumming is not real music? Get over your trivial problems, you faggots...I don't care if your dad makes you clean your room or if some chick you think you're in love with likes your best friend. Get a job and stop inspiring more talentless metrosexuals to get together and write bad poetry with big (out of context) words interspersed in elementary sentences. These songs don't make any f*cking sense, and the fact that whole generation thinks that this garbage "speaks to them" is even funnier than the music itself. And please don't say that I don't understand, because you don't either...no one does...it's unintelligible dreck. Period.
Dashboard Confessional is at the vanguard of the emo scene--a disgusting derivative of punk rock.

fridge confession

When someone is to clumsy to confess their affections to you for you to understand.
When you realize what they wanted, the confession is usually void and worthless by then.
It took me once seven years to understand a fridge confession.
