Though it's likely that this has popped up somewhere before, it's New To Me™, which means it's New To Some Of You™, too. In the vein of the Minibosses comes this video, a screamo-esque cover of Mega Man 2's Wily's Castle theme set to, obviously, footage from Mega Man 2. Good for a listen, great for a laugh, but definitely not something you want on your iPod. Well, not something you ought to want on your iPod.
Kinda makes you wonder what portals to hell would open up should Death Cab for Cutie or somesuch cover the Wiseman theme from Konami's Goonies II. Consider this your warning, pansy whinerock bands: stay away from my games and leave 'em to the professionals. Or learn how to sing. Whichever comes first.
[Thanks Geoff!]

Also, Death Cab for Cutie is indie, not emo.
Also, emo is separate from indie, punk, hardcore, and screamo, though it evolved out of hardcore. The labels are not interchangeable.</anal music labeling>
Also cocks.
Whiny whine whine whine.

Mother of God that was awful.
"I'm wearing 3-D glasses!"
While I'm at it, I thought that I would mention that Death Cab was on an episode of 'The O.C.'. Does that make them more emo than indie?
The O.C.? Make things emo? As much as video games cause violence.
Bah! I was just saying that once you get on The O.C. you aren't that "indie" anymore. I also don't know what the hell "emo" means, so don't listen to me. I have this idea that "emo" people are really depressed and cut themselves. I imagine them listening to Depeche Mode.
I guess not, now that they're on Atlantic Records. However, their musical style still fits in more with indie than with other forms of rock, so its the most appropriate label.
In terms of a stereotype, you hit the nail on the head for emo people. Obviously, stereotypes aren't always right, and there are many emo people who aren't total basketcases. However, there is a high chance that they will be as pretentious as I'm being right now.
And Depeche Mode is synth pop or new wave. Either way, it's terrible.
*Knowledge is power!*
(Last post from me about music genres in a blog about video games)
That track, take the shitty vocals out and it's kinda just dragonforce... but a bit slower. Enjoyable none the less.
Funny watching the lyrics and him singing them haha everytime there is a "ru" he screams it lol.
The singer isn't bad, he is just trying to reach pitches he can't possibly reach effectively.
The Advantage are professionals.
Minibosses are professional-lite.
those 3 months...wasn't that pop punk days?
IS
AMAZING!!!!!
</actual knowledge>
I caught it at the right time. I didn't do it.
