WHY DID OMOCAT PUT THE WRIGHTWORTH MOLARSIMAGE ON THE SLIDESHOW.

my notes:

I love well-utilized screaming in music. I fucking hate screamo lmao. why are you gargling rocks at me. fucking stop it.

there are some songs that you just cannot cover without completely changing the genre, because you will only embarrass yourself by being absolutely nowhere near the quality of the original. closer by NIN is one such song. you’re making a fool of yourself.

the plain white t’s are not punk. I should not have to explain this to you.

similarly, if you’re gonna be on a punk-goes record, make your song fucking punk. don’t just rerecord a pop song. do your fucking job lmao

a good country song will translate perfectly into emo, and vice versa, because wailing about your broken heart is the same whether your accent is TN or CA. this is known as the “Johnny Cash Effect”

STOP TRYING TO COVER BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. YOU WILL NEVER SUCCEED. even a great cover of bohemian rhapsody isn’t worth the dirt on freddie mercury’s shoes. stop it.

as usual, if you change the pronouns when you cover a song to make sure it’s still straight, you’re a pussy and I hope you get hit by a car. you’re bisexual for the next 4 minutes. cope.

listen. listen. I love jack’s mannequin, but they are also definitely not punk why is andrew mcmahon hereee

weirdly enough I’m actually going to give them relient k cause they do have a handful of songs that actually go pretty damn hard

FALLING IN REVERSE YOU CANT COVER GANGSTER’S PARADISE YOU SIMPLY CANNOT DO IT

anyway. my song recs from this journey (if you like metal, there’s definitely more good ones I didn’t list, I’m just not the biggest fan of the genre):

“need you now” by sparks the rescue

“see you again” by breathe carolina

“smooth” by escape the fate

“shape of you” by eat your heart out (gay!!)

“chocolate” by knuckle punk (really just novel to hear without matt healy’s accent)

“you oughta know” by the killing moon (gay!! pt 2)

“free fallin’” by the almost

“little lion man” by tonight alive

“bulletproof” by family force 5

“disturbia” by the cab

“when I grow up” by mayday parade

in case you’re wondering how it’s going over here, I’m steadily making my way through the entire “punk goes —“ catalogue
