What is this genre? Its a high pitched broken hearted man/boy ripping out his lungs cuz he is so in love and the girl is going away or some other separation. So the guitar becomes more plucky, the testosterone gets drained from the drummer and you're left depressed in a way.
The Summer Set has the ability to be the biggest Danny Downer ever. Lyrically they're always yearning. This video is a teenage dream.
But if you think I am on a hating spree you're wrong. There are bands who are incredibly talented at being socially retarded. Mayday Parade, Every Avenue, and even Never Shout Never, well before Drew discovered weed.
There is a demographic here that will eat this with a spoon while crying with their 'main' on oVoo, wondering what to wear to Lexi's party and will 'he' be there.
The problem with this demographic is that they're growing up and the art becomes the ability to grow with them All Time Low is a perfect example of a whining bunch of pathetics that turned out strong fun and really competent men. This is more than can be said for Fall Out Boy, they grew up and fell apart.
Dear Summer Set, you have a very brief time to be able to do this and youre doing it very well. But youre going to need some guidance in diversification or this could be a means to an end.
Cute video. Reminds me of "Hey There Delila", hmmm where did the Plain White T's go?
