The Juliana Theory – To the Tune of 5,000 Screaming Children Lyrics 21 years ago
The most likely explanation here has to do with chatroom idiots and BBS trolls who have strong opinions on things they don't understand, or make illogical conclusions based on opinion.

Good bands need publicity.

The Juliana Theory – If I Told You This Was Killing Me, Would You Stop? Lyrics 21 years ago
It's much less a label than a category; every vareity of music is easier to describe if you assign it a "label", and although certain groups (Such as the Juliana Theory) do break boundaries and have lots of vareity in their style (TJT has some pop songs, some techno, some emo..), it's still much easier to describe any given band in a one or two word label (such as emo) than giving them a paragraph about how unique the band is.

I've said this before, but though a song may be based on specific incidents (as JoshuaB has noted), it also is about a broader category of general emotions (Dade 322). Although a song has one specific meaning, it applies to many situations.

I have a reputation for being an asshole, mouthing off, and being a smartass... So to me, this song is about knowing when to keep your mouth shut, but to each his own.

The Ataris – 1*15*96 Lyrics 22 years ago
You're all wrong! The Ataris are emo!

The Ataris don't have enough songs about "other" teen issues, which probably explains why they're not popular.

I wonder who renamed the file? Damn, thats perfect.. Get people into /good/ music, eh? In the spirit of hooking people on the Ataris, I just renamed a 300 MB file that does nothing to "Half-Life full install working CD key.exe" and put it on kazaa. Take THAT, warez monkeys!

Apoptygma Berzerk – Paranoia Lyrics 22 years ago
I agree with Syrinx. X is often sold in the form of a pill. Also, "Someday you'll realize that you were wrong, you'll be left with paranoia as your only friend" is a big hint on the seratonin dependancy that is associated with prolonged ecstacy use.

Apoptygma Berzerk – Fade To Black Lyrics 22 years ago
I love the irony of dancing to a song about depression.

I personally would have to say this is one of the few cover songs that is better than the original.

The Ataris – San Dimas High School Football Rules Lyrics 22 years ago
This is probably my favorite Ataris song, I've listened to it dozens of times. It's happening to me right now and I can't stand it. Except that I don't perform at shows. But I digress.

The Rainbow is a bar in California...

The Ataris – Giving Up On Love Lyrics 22 years ago
pUnK, ebonics may make you look cool on the street, but on the net, you just look like an idiot.

I think we can all relate to this song at least once in our long lives . It's the story of mine..

LIFE ISN'T SHORT. INFINITY IS JUST REALLY LONG.

The Ataris – I.O.U. One Galaxy Lyrics 22 years ago
The title of this song, the whole concept is just great because.. Well, it's what's happening to me right now. I gave her 2 pages on how much I love her and she said maybe later... Because she likes someone else.

Girls, trust me, don't be afraid to fall in love with a guy you know at least a little well. Trust me, guys are slaves for girls and pathetic in general. We aren't as tough as you think. Just look how fuckin' successful pornography is.

The Ataris – Your Boyfriend Sucks Lyrics 22 years ago
"And I'm still here waiting there
To catch you if you fall.
I don't know why I care so much
When I shouldn't care at all."
I think we can all relate to this song. "Girls/Guys are like parking lots, all the good ones are taken." (I'm not.) I'm suspicious of anyone who hasn't felt even a bit of jealousy towards "that other ass" who your girl has taken a liking to. Girl I like used to be dating this other guy who was always hurting her emotionally, and I was always helping her afterwards. She broke up with him and then she told me she liked this guy.. Who turned out not to be me.

In "A Bronx Tale", Chaz Palmenteri's character says..
"All right, listen to me. You pull up right where she is, right? You go get out of the car and you lock both doors. Then get out of the car, and you walk over to her, and bring her over to the car. Take out the key, put in the lock, open the door for her, and you let her get in. And you close the door for her. You walk around the back of the car, and you look through the rear window. If she doesn't reach over and lift up that button so you could get in, dump her. (Just like that?) Listen to me kid, if she doesn't reach over and life up that button, so you could get in, that means she's a selfish broad, and all you've seen is the tip of the iceberg. You dump her, and you dump her fast."

If only guys could afford to be so picky.

Life is a bitch, and then you pay someone to be YOUR bitch.

"Three years gone by and still everyone screws up our name, no matter what you do I guess some things never change.." - Teenage Riot

Hehe, what a way to get people into the Ataris. Through Blink.
I don't like Blink too much anymore. They're way overcredited and Ataris are so much better. Plus, Blink sold out, but I guess the Ataris did too...
I was searching for "Atari" on Napster, being bored and a nerd in general.. And San Dimas came up.. And now the Ataris are my favorite band.

"But you're holding onto someone else."

I love in the very beginning of this song, if you listen to only the left channel and not the right. It sounds so much like "San Dimas.."

The Ataris – My So Called Life Lyrics 22 years ago
Wonderwoman, they're on the next page...

"Today I highjacked a plane
I wrote your name across the sky,
Miss Clare Danes.
But they were waiting on the ground
To take me straight to jail " That's just hilarious, this song rivals "Are We There Yet" for funniest Ataris song..

I thought the song with Mark was "That Special Girl"?

The Ataris – The Last Song I Will Ever Write About A Girl Lyrics 22 years ago
Christ, pUnK e. No wonder you're still single.

This song was titled "The Last Song I Will Ever Write About a Girl". The first track of the next album was supposed to be about a girl and it was going to be called "So I Lied".
