The Casualties
What is the big deal with this band. I see them getting hyped all over the place. I saw a video of theirs the other day and wasn't all that
impressed. Music wasn't bad, but the vocals were fucking terrible. I can't see how that would be pleasing to a persons ears.
Any fans here?

Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

i've only heard them once, when they played with brain failure a while back.
not sure what their cds sounded like, but if i remember correctly, they have a pretty crusty sound, vocally, don't they?
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I saw them live at the Bruisers' reunion show in Boston. I walked out they were so bad. I have "For The Punx" though. And yah D...they are fucking
incredibly crusty.

So I'm not alone in this. Those vocals were fucking terrible. I can't understand their popularity.

Me either. I think it just may be they have that super crust punk look and kids into the crusty punk flock to them. I know that makes them sound
almost like corporate sell outs but that's not what I'm trying ot say. Might all be in the look though, as silly as that sounds.

That ain't silly. Look at all the emo fags flocking to bands that look like fags and sing about stupidity. Never underestimate the appeal appearance
has to certain people.

They make the Exploited sound creative, that says something.

I remember when they first came out, they were doing basically the same thing they still do, but it wasn't quite so played out as it seems now. They
came across as a new version of The Exploited at the time. A lot of people got into 'em because they were so over the top Punk, but after the first 7
inch it just turned into a ridiculous cartoon. I think they're fuckin' horrible and are just making Punk more of a fashion and less of a real
subculture. At this point it really doesn't need any help in that department.

Death Before Dishonor, Lionel, the Exploited may well be responsible for Speed Metal.

I don't think the Causualties are trying to make it a joke or anything. They just got unlucky. I also object to anyone calling any music out today
emo. It's just a name giving out by stupid kids. It's not a real genre anymore.

Oh, I know they aren't TRYING to make it a joke, they're just such a joke of a band that between their music and their three foot mohawks they can't
help it.

If all these emo bands aren't really emo, then what DO you consider emo.

i'm not an expert on it but my friend is a fan of the emo genre from when it started. the real "emo," not this pop rock people are trying to pass off
as emo now. there's a difference.

mark v. and i had an interesting conversation about emo over on the ducky board.
yeah, this shit in the mainstream definitely doesn't live up to what emo is.
it's still give and take though. there was some quality shit but it's definitely a lot softer than the tougher side of hardcore.

i believe that was the point of emo though, to not be as hard as hardcore.

I don't want to name names, but I had a long discussion with my friend about it and he named off bands. I just don't remember them quite off the top
of my head. For some reason I remember Sunny Day Real Estate being mentioned.

Me neither, but I don't have the same contempt for it as I do for the pop/boyband/shoppingmall "hardcore" thats going under the name these days.

They are a punk band that have been around for a long time that are cool to like if you are into street punk. I personally never liked them.
I saw a music of theirs on Much Music and I laughed.
Anti Establishment my ass.
