It's ignorant! The stereotype is guys that are weak and have failing relationships write about how sad they are. If you listen to our songs, not one of them has that tone. Emo is bullshit! If people want to take it for the literal sense of the word, then yes, we're an emotional band, we put a lot of thought into what we do. People always try to stereotype us, but we don't fit the emo stereotype.
Brendon UrieWe're just like you. Were not these older idols, you know, were just kids like you guys.
Brendon UrieI think anything you listen to is going to be different. You're going to listen to a song differently if you're just sitting around somewhere listening on your phone as opposed to sitting in a dark room listening to a vinyl album. It's going to be a totally different experience.
Brendon UrieMusic is always a healer. Music has never let me down. I know itโs my religion. Thereโs the idea that you canโt truly know happiness until you know sadness, so how can you heal yourself unless youโve hurt yourself? Iโm still figuring out who I am, but I know that Iโm not who I was.
