And the ONLY thing they listen to is crap like Thursday, Silverstien, and all of that screamo crap. And sorry if that offends you if you are a fan, although I feel I am probably in good company here. But even if in the long wrong you want to do that TYPE of music, that's fine, it's your perogative. But if you want to do it and sound even halfway interesting and original, you have to broaden your horizons a little, otherwise you will just be another carbon copy with a myspace page.

well what i can think of is not everybody wants to be a professional musician. some people just wanna be in a band for fun, and that's ok, let natural selection take its course, or move to a place that offers more options; "northern ky" is still "ky" and maybe just maybe that's el problema??
