F olks, here it is. Hold onto your fingerless gloves because the Angsty-boi title bout is about to go dooooooowwn. With two of the heaviest hitters in the game, you’ll decide once and for all which eye shadow-bedecked band deserves the ULTIMATE glory.

It’s pretty simple. You each get one vote, worth one point. Oh, e xcept Hondoyota, your vote is worth... Oh... I don’t know. We’ll say three points.

On to the contestants!

In one corner we have “ Headstrong” by Trapt. It’s you against the world, and you’re in the right, dammit!

*+5 rage *

*+4 angst *

*x3 eye roll *

IIn the other corner we have “Pain” by Three Doors Do—er I mean Three Days Grace. It’s a little known fact that whenever Mr. Arizona whose- new- Oppo- name- I’m- forgetting talks about hardcore punk, he is in fact referring to the band below . 

Honorable mentions for the only song by Papa Roach that anyone has ever heard—Last Resort—the entire My Chemical Romance catalog, and “The Kill” by Thirty Seconds to Mars.

Let the voting commence!

“Two of the heaviest hitters”

>laughs in 9th grade emo

At least go with I Hate Everything About You by 3DG if you’re gonna do that.

Or some Breaking Benjamin.

I think I might be Mr. Arizona (the artist formerly known as Skychismo). That band is most definitely not the type of music I’m referring to when I mention hardcore. I listen to lots of different types of music, but hardcore provided me with a community when I was young, and brothers and sister that I’ll have for life. My closest friends are all kids I first met in sweltering warehouses, kicking the shit out of each other when we were teenagers (I’m thirty-two now). Here’s a good example of the genre.

If I am Mr. Arizona, I appreciate the title. Also, I want to see Hamtractor take a swing at Freddy  for hardcore dancing.

angst level: 2.4/10

It’s peak MTV-friendly mall emo, but the title alone of MCR’s “I’m Not Okay” earns it my vote.

Just a joke, I’d be pretty surprised to find out you’re listening to any “MTV-friendly mall emo” as Stef perfectly put it.

I want to get a lift in with Hamtractor, but I don't think I'd want to be nearby if fists were flying...

Wrapping hands, wearing a mouthguard and feeling threatened by kids dancing tells me someone, no matter how big, it afraid of getting hit. Nothing to fear as long as you know how to hit someone and can take a hit.

There’s a reason bros only show up to big shows with security.

For some reason I felt the need to load up some Rufio while trying to get my kids to sleep the other night. These band make Rufio look like Megadeth.

You thought you were sitting beside me

You we re only in my way.

GOD I hate myself for listening to that album 600,000 times. It’s vague and generic. Parents? Siblings? Bad breakup? Every song works!  J ust like Chevelle, Papa Roach, Incubus, Smile Empty Soul — all of which are on an iPod in my pickup.

Wow, Headstrong takes me back hard, back to when a decent chunk of popular music had electric guitars with heavy heavy distortion. I better stop before I find myself listening to New Found Glory

They call it guilty pleasure for a reason

And now I'm listening to Dre, Snoop, etc. because it's what my older brother listened to constantly while I played on his Sega Genesis. Soon I'll be listening to oldies that my mother played, and then after that I'll be dead.

Emo? That was a musical fad in the late noughties wasn’t it?

I spent the 90s listening to hair metal (amongst many other  things) so I can pick fake histrionic pop rock a mile off these days...
