You know what was great and didn't stick around long enough: Pop-punk. I love this ****. Not really the pop over punk groups, but the rock bands with a little harder, more raw edge.
I love the **** out of things like The Atari's, Thursday, and Billy Talent (even MCR's Desolation Row was phenomenal).
It got all banged up when the emo kids had their **** hijacked by the guys taking a drag off of the Queen cigar, but for the most part it was an all too short-lived genre. Who knows, maybe it will produce better now that its back in the shadows.
