Protest the Hero

An incredibly talented band from Whitby, Ontario, Canada.

And good fucking god, they are in no way emo. Modern emo is bland, unoriginal, whiny, commercialized shit. These guys deserve some fucking respect.

They are all incredibly talented at what they do. The guitarists can tap/shred at a very high level of playing standards, as well as being able to come up with some very catchy riffs.

The rhythm section comes up with some very intricate, unique ways to back up the songs, and the bassist can do more on his bass than most 'emo' guitarists can play on guitar. He also writes some very good lyrics.

The vocalist has a great range of singing and screaming as well as a great stage presence.

So to summarize: Kick ass band, nothing to do with emo

They don't even deserve a metalcore label because metalcore is again bland and uncreative. These guys play progressive/math metal.

Check out Fortress, the latest album from Protest the Hero. It is worth every pennie.

pretext

Verb, portmanteau - To pretend to text someone or reply to someone's text message to avoid awkward situations. This happens most often when talking to someone you don't really know or when you don't want to look weird while waiting for the bus.

My crush, Addie, and I have run out of things to talk about so I will pretext to avoid any awkward silences.

pretentious twaddle

the manner in which some people demonstrate their worth to mankind by making sure that everyone in the room knows that they something special, have survived a bad hair day, or know more than their teachers, employers, parents, friends or anyone else

The conversations I over heard at the "happy hour" were dominated by the pretentions twaddle of college girls who should know better.

Pretentious asshole

One who attempts to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.

Especially true in the art scene.

Hey Joe, did you notice that pretentious asshole hipster that drinks Starbucks, owns more than one Apple product, wears clothes every other hipster wears, and manages to convince herself that she is alternative and therefore superior compared to her peers?

Joe: Yeah, so true.
