Teenagers
So this got me thinking, http://fourfour.typepad.com/fourfour/2005/09/the_gerard_way.html
Because I did only see this video recently and I couldn't take me eyes off it. It was so melodramatic indeed that I wondered if the band was giggling in between takes and all the ballet and black eye liner applications. It reminds me of all those goth "street dark" kids in Lakewood who look like time stopped in 1989 -- only with baggy pants. Yes, I pick up Outburn or AP from time to time so I don't feel so out of touch. Oh but honey, I am. All the bands names today are just so depressing. Not to sound like a little old lassie, but why must all the bands names in these genres have "Blood" "Dead" "Bury" "Dying" or a day of the week or a girls name in the titles? That, and I discovered many a band name derived from classic American Literature such as The Scarlet Letter and As I Lay Dying.
Well yes children, I'm sure being a white suburban kid in the USA with all your i-pods and video games and streaming porn is very harsh. I mean, just thinking about it turns MY heart black! So much trauma to write about in these songs I'm sure. Something along the lines of, "There's a girl I like but I'm too afraid to talk to her, so I tell my parents I hate them, slam the door and jerk off to Pamela Anderson videos. Oh woe is me, cruel life, cruel cruel life".
But then again what do I know about being a teenager? I only have 3 memories from ages 13 to 17:
-Swallowing vodka
-Telling a 35 year old Belgian diplomat he sucked in bed
-Mother sending back the restaurant bread in the French section of Disney World because it wasn't really made by frenchmen and she could taste it.
