Defend the Indefensible: Thursday

ummm. no problem with pitchfork, but i've not read it regularly for 10 years now, by the way. i really should read it more. i like nabisco and mr. raggett a whole damn plenty.

oh yeah i forgot about all of that. united nations code as cool in a way thursday doesn't though. waiting is definitely a v raw record

you're wrong! now that united nations are cool, so is thursday, by extension!

but, it just takes threads like this, on ilm and elsewhere, and a few decent acknowledgments by p-fork, stylus, etc. before we can make the indie masses consider them canon.

i mean i wish but emo still feels very separate from everything else. i'll take it back when an emo record gets a bnm (i almost thought the world is would do it this year)

i consider thursday, from war all the time forward, just as i consider skramz bands!

from that album forward, they're in the league of orchid, jeromes dream, city of caterpillar, funeral diner, and so forth, as far as i'm concerned! they grew up with 'war', but were prettier than other bands, i guess. but, i guess their prettiness makes it hard to take them seriously, for most.

thursday rules. what is a skramz band?

I though it was a stupid term that retroactively applies to older screamo before it became a "scene" thing but don't quote me on that. I don't have much use for Thursday any more but they were a good band back in th'day

yep. awful term

nope. "skramz" is a hilarious and useful term. i've got no problem using it (kinda) seriously, and i'd expect anyone near an emo thread on ilm to already know it. i've got 0 problems with it.
cheers!
