A fantastic band fronted by Conor Oberst. A combination of country, folk, and indie. Not emo.
Silly Muffin: Bright Eyes is so emo it hurts.
Studly Muffin: Nay, imbecile.

The mere mention of this band makes me want to wear all black, and wet my mascara so that it runs down my face in all my emo glory...nah

Conor O is a beautiful person with a deep persepective of life and love AMEN!

Bright Eyes, N. A crappy overrated band fronted by the supposedly "deep" Conor Oberst. Commonly mistaken as one of the greastest indie singer songwriters, but this title is already occupied by people such as Elliott Smith and Jeff Mangum,along with others but Oberst isn't. But he does reconize talent as he's signed the wonderful band Tilly and the Wall.
Bright Eyes Fan: Oh my god, I love his lyrics there so good and like, deep you know?

Me: No, his lyrics are about as deep as a toilet bowl.

Straight Guy: "I'm not talking about that pansy, I'm talking about the epic Blind Guardian song...fag"
