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.
