A whiney Emo-Pop band. Lyrics involve high pitched singer crying about how his girlfriend broke up with him and he has a hole in his sweater.
I am going to go in my room, turn off all the lights, write a blog in my live journal and then cut myself while I listen to Dashboard Confessional.

I've had it with everyone bashing dashboard confessional. They're an amazing band who talk about REAL human emotions and REAL feelings and just REAL-everything. So what if the guy sounds like he was raped by his uncle when he was 14? Maybe a lot of us have and we need to vent our pent-up and impotent rage over insufferably "acoustic" music. Or maybe some of us live such sheltered existences that we wish we were raped by our uncles (or manservants) and need an excuse to plunge into some spurious manic-depressive nonsense. And so what if some 35 year old living in his parents basement and driving his parents 1994 dodge stratus talks about the problems of dysfunctional, socially inept, intellectually (and testicularly) challenged 17 year olds? That doesn't mean he can't express his FEELINGS in public and make pity money.
Enough with the hate. Bring the love. Or some blades.

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.

A band for a bunch of Faggots. The music is stupid and repetitive, and the singer sucks. I like all types of music but emo is just stupid depressing bullshit. If you want to ruin the rest of your day, pop in an emo CD, it'll do the trick. The lyrics are horrible, and there for people who can't deal with their problems themselves, so they cry on a CD about a GIRL. Girls aren't worth crying over, they come and they go. You people are cry-babies for no good reason, your not poor, your not dieing, and you have no reason to be depressed, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

The emo shit band that converts straight men into complete homosexuals. They try to sing about love and compassion but come off as homosexual children that whine about the world's stupidest shit. Guess they can't be the beatles, eh?

An emo band which is largely listened to by spoiled rich kids who live very pampered lives, in the hopes that it makes them appear to be deep and thoughtful. Also, it turns guys into large vaginas, due to their liking it to impress their girlfriends.

Okay, now I'm not going to totally call Chris a total pussy here, but here's the deal with Dashboard. They aren't emo. As much as you'd like to think so, they just aren't. Hands Down is a fucking amazing song, so is Age Six Racer. Chris Carabba (or however you spell his last name) is talented, and I do enjoy a little Dashboard once in a while. I also think that he's writing from the heart and it's some good stuff. Emo?
He. Destroyed. Emo.
He took emo music and made it mainstream. He's all over TRL. He's on t-shirts (and not cool ones, like the one's with Bert McKraken from The Used, that say "Berty is my Homeboy" and he looks like Jesus).
And he cried during a song. That's too much. I mean, seriously? That's pathetic. Now, I cry too, I can be emo once in a while, but onstage, in front of like three thousand people? No. And he stopped the song too, didn't he? Man, that's bull. Kids don't want to see that. Kids want you to finish the damn song.
Now, please, do not flame me. Dashboard Confessional, by all means, is a good band. Definitely not "the best emo band ever", because Taking Back Sunday takes them, rapes them up the ass and runs over them with an 18-wheeler. Carabba is a good singer and a good guitarist and a good composer. Does he make emo music? No. Does he write thoughtful lyrics? If they make sense to you, then by all means, yes. Do they make sense to me? Sometimes, but usually I think it's crap.
Honestly, let's just categorize music into "rock". So Taking Back is "rock" and so is Dashboard. However, Taking Back Sunday is "good rock" and Dashboard Confessional is "not-so-good rock". Of course, their shittiness has NOTHING on Simple Plan. But that's another entry.
Plus, Chris waxes his eyebrows?
