I hope not because I don't have the clothes for it or the emo glasses. My hair is short too so I don't think I can be emo. I also have a good job and am not wallowing in self-pity. Wow. This could be a really bad transition for me.

Why is it bad to be "emo?" Because others tell you so?

God their video sucks. I just caught the A7X video on Rock Countdown on MTV2. That song is definately not one of their best, but they actually rock.

They're catchy, but not too original. I know he was kind of taken under the wing of Pete Wentz--which kind of makes their similarity to Fall Out Boy more suspicious. Their sound, lyrics, and song titles are all similar.

In any case, neither of those bands are emo. They're pop punk. So, aside from turning into a fifteen year old girl, you haven't much to worry about.

Thanks Strifer. I feel better now. I was worried.

I just heard them on the radio today. I guess it is totally ok to listen to them now.

panic at the disco is made by corporate america. they are a band, but they are paid by corporations. they were not formed formally. it was someone like a recruiter who got them all together...pretty gay if you ask me.

Panic! At the Disco, a dance rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, strive to create
a unique sound by blending melody driven rock with dance music. The line,
?ambitious and desperate for attention,? taken from one of their songs, might
give an idea as to how they feel as they write their first full length record.
This is a young band that has the opportunity to turn their passion into a
career.

Ryan Ross (guitar/lyrics) and Spencer Smith (drums) grew up on the same street,
and around the time the two began high school they discovered their mutual
interest in playing music. They formed a band with Brent Wilson (bass) who then
transferred high schools his junior year, and ended up meeting Brendon Urie
(guitar/vocals) in guitar class. After one rehearsal together with Brendon, the
rest of the band knew the lineup was complete.

Subsequently, the band became more serious about writing and desired to do
something different than what was going on around them. ?Walking through our
practice space, we heard every band playing essentially the same thing- it
started to drive us insane. But I?m kind of thankful we had to share a building
with those bands, because we probably wouldn?t have realized that we wanted to
do something different nearly as quick? Ryan laughs. The band began to demo
songs with just a laptop, microphone, and a keyboard. Brendon adds, ?We were
pretty skeptical to the idea that kids would be into what we were doing. Four
kids playing rock music, mixing it with techno beats and synthesizers wasn?t
exactly the cool thing to be doing then.? Little did they know, the band would
be at the forefront of a growing genre.

The first two songs they wrote and recorded were put online and posted by the
band in the LiveJournal of Peter Wentz from Fall Out Boy. Without any
expectations of hearing back, luck must have been on their side. ?When we first
talked, Pete said he usually never listens to anything people post, but by
chance happened to that day? says Ryan. Within the next few days Pete drove
across the desert to meet the band and watch a practice. As they were driving
back to Pete?s hotel, he expressed his interest in wanting to sign the band to
his label Decaydance - an imprint of Fueled By Ramen.

Panic! At the Disco?s debut album A Fever You Can?t Sweat Out was recorded with
hopes to surprise a few people and open them up to something new. The band is
in the process of writing their first full-length record and with it hopes to
surprise a few people and open them up to something new. ?We believe it is
crucial to the best first impression possible, kids may only give you that one
chance to impress them, and if you don?t they?ll just write you off? says
Ryan.? We want to write a rock record you can dance to, we want it to be fun
but at the same time it?s going to be very sincere.

?Everything you say is a self-portrait?
