Ultragrrrl Declares Emo “Dead,” Hypes This Band Called The Pixies

Apparently the heat emanating from the Giants Stadium parking lot during this weekend’s emo-filled Bamboozle festival really got to label employee/self-styled tastemaker/Angels & Kings DJ Sarah “Ultragrrrl” Lewitinn, as she penned a lengthy blog post about the “death of emo” last night. It’s long, it doesn’t make much sense (aside from the bit where she big-ups her own label’s bands), and it ends with her pleading with people to listen to Bob Marley, Neil Diamond, or “something other than what you’re listening to,” but that’s why it may be one of the best blog posts we’ve read all week. Some highlights after the jump.

even the people in the bands that are considered emo hate emo, and i dont blame them. just like nu-metal and fred durst, this shit is ready for its grave.

but fuck all the shitty bands i saw over the weekend. oh my god, i wanna kill myself after this weekend. no wonder music sales are so low, so many young kids are buying shitty music or just showing up to shows because it’s the cool thing to do… they’re not even listening to this shit. i’m so glad that so many of my bands were playing this festival so that i could see some good bands.

HAVE ANY OF YOU HEARD OF A BAND CALLED THE PIXIES?!?!?1

music did not start in 2002. do you know that? knowing your musical history doesnt start with knowing what the first glassjaw record was.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SMITHS. listen to joy division. listen to the clash. LISTEN TO THE BEATLES!!!!! listen to bob marley. listen to neil diamond. listen to the beach boys. LISTEN TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT YOU’RE LISTENING TO.

Actual drunken plea or attempt to regain credibility in what’s clearly a declining market? We can’t tell, either, but that’s probably the point.

Eye Hate People [sarah’s so boring ever since she stopped drinking.]
