The Eighties Sucked Enough the First Time Around Award:
The Bravery...
...Although it could be just about any shitty trebly guitar/hi-hat disco beat band. The truth is if this was the eighties the dudes in these bands would be beating up the 'fag' in high school in the Gang of Four shirt with the copy of Wire's 'pink flag' underneath his arm to a soundtrack of Van Halen, Journey and Camaro engines. If I hear one more down-strummed clean guitar over a 'jerky' hi-hat I am going to use voodoo to re-animate the corpse of Ian Curtis and turn that pale, skinny zombie motherfucker loose to bore every single one of those bands to death with his monotone singing voice.
Runner-up: So called 'emo' bands. It is not 1986 and you are not Rites of Spring. Please stop using the e-word for your sexist, woman hating crap-rock. All you are is nu metal hitting puberty. There's still stupid guitar moves and facial expressions, and false sincerity just destined for Livejournal, but instead of songs about parents not understanding you, it's about girls not liking you. The musical revolution is here!
So true...
