I don't miss where I came from But each night I dream about being back home When I wake up in the morning I'm too tired, tired of being alone Bus Stop Boxer, by Eels

Well I progressed from Placebo and Green day.I was into more punk/rock :D. I think the first emo band I really listened to was Hawthorne Heights. After a friend recommended it to me :). Ever since then, I've been addicted. Of course Emo is good, but I prefer rock/metal/pop-punk :D

First band to get me into emo music was Thrice, a couple years ago. I admit, ashamedly, that I was more than a bit chavvy then. It's the reason I know every word to every Eminem song. xD But I sort of progressed into more screamo stuff from Thrice. Things like Bullet For My Valentine, underOATH and Atreyu.

And the award for "understatement of the year" goes to Vic! *applause* :P My favorite band - of all time or at the moment? Hmm that's a hard one but I'm going to have to say Taking Back Sunday for at the moment. My favorite band ever though has to be Placebo :D As for your idol question, most idols these days seem to be clich but if I'd have to say. It'd have to be either Hayley Williams or WiL Francis :P

Vic: Glad you like both of those bands. You have good taste I see :] Well as for Hayley, I think for someone so young she stands for a lot of females out there. And considering her past and childhood, she's come out on top. :] As for WiL - I think over coming drugs/alcohol abuse is a reason alone! :D I wouldn't like to be kicked out at 15 (my age :P) and have trouble with the law etc. So yeah, he's pretty admirable :D Hairclip Matt: Why would Blink 182 be idols? :P

True, like many other bands. There are a few bands that I don't actually like, but I won't deny that they aren't great musically. I just personally don't like their music, etc :P

Tbh... my first emo band was Hawthorne Heights. I progressed from heavy metal and goth stuff into more emo stuff. I was listening to them in Y6, ahaha, I was still a chav then. I knew every word to every Busted song. And saw them live :S
