it's kind of crazy how all these years later, i realise mcr is still the first band that pops up for most people when the topic or genre of 'emo' comes up (was just looking at the twitter page for emo night and the mcr logo was the biggest one on their digital poster).
looking back i guess they were really my gateway to emo. not quite sure if i loved mcr so much back then because i was actually into emo and just didn't know it yet, or it was more like mcr introduced me to the world of emo music. i think maybe it's the former.
i don't think i thought at 22 (technically still 21) i would still be listening to the same kind of music. it's funny how some things stay with us even after our teenage years.
and wow, third post in 2 weeks. is it obvious that i'm bored in konstanz? LOL
side note: i've always looked at the comments section on videos of my favourite movie scenes or songs, seen people saying "i watched this in class today!" and wondered "what kind of cool-ass awesome classes do you go to and where can i find them??"
but today in class (popular culture in the arab world) i got to be one of those people.
prof showed us this super rad song by a muslim-french duo that somehow has an even radder mv. apparently they're musicians, actors and filmmakers.
super thought-provoking clip, and i don't think i've ever seen musicians that actually act that well in their mvs.
really no ragrets taking this short but fun course. the discussions are always cool to listen to though unfortunately i hardly ever have any input because i can only think of things to say about singapore which wouldn't be relevant. even the assignments are fun, although it was pretty stressful to do them due to the very tight deadlines.
but anyway here's the clip!
