Finding Screamo
El WaPo keeps trying to get hip to what those crazy kids are up to these days.
Exhibit A: A feature article today on a NoVa-based high-schoolscreamo band.
Let's let the kids speak for themselves:
Under a posting titled "Overwhelmed," Sid McClain, 18, had written on his MySpace.com account a few days earlier that he wasn't sure he wanted to scream anymore. "I don't know what to do? So much is about to happen," he wrote. He went on to say that he thinks the band could be a waste of his time: "Needless to say it's over, guys."
Man. I love local music, and I love indie, but I can definitely do without all the screamo angstiness. Serves as a reminder, as well, that there are dozens of acts out there on planet NoVa, playing everything under the sun...some of which you want to hear, and others...well.
