Talk:The All-American Rejects

message: The All-American Rejects have a new album out called Move Along. With this album is their titled hit " Dirty Little Secret. " With that "The Rise of the Fall Tour" is now in progress. Some tour dates have been canceled due to Tyson Ritter , the lead singers, laringytis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pretty REject (talk • contribs) 2005-11-25 12:24:05
:Are the Rejects a one-hit wonder anymore? I mean, "Dirty Little Secret" has gotten really high on the charts ... their one-hit status should probably be changed, along with "they're best known for 'Swing Swing.'"
UM... Why hasn't it been mentiononed the guest star in an episode of House (HOU-317) yet?

message: They did not perform their first gig at Stillwater Elementary School. There is no Stillwater Elementary School. I grew up in Stillwater - I'd know. Perhaps it's Stillwater High School or the junior high or the middle school they're referring to? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CountCrazy007 (talk • contribs) .
: I can't fine a Stillwater Elementary in Florida (I assume) either. I thus removed "by playing their first official gig at Stillwater Elementary School in Stillwater, Oklahoma" from the "The All-American Rejects began their career in the late 1990s..." line. Thanks for the heads up! Janet13 06:18, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Stillwater Elementary School

message: There seems to be a dispute about where the band's name came from. One sentance says, "Their name came from a Green Day song "Reject", where the lyrics are "You reject All-American"." and the other says "Nick Wheeler thought of the name, All-American, since they are all american, and Tyson thought of the name, The Rejects. So when they put it together, they got The All-American Rejects." --Stacey 15:01, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

:It's already in the non-album tracks section. Where else would you want to add it? --HarryCane 12:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not too sure I get what you mean... but the "Non-album tracks" section is for songs that were officially released, but cannot be found on the conventional versions of any of the band's albums (e.g. foreign bonus tracks, compilation/tribute songs, single B-sides, etc.). Are you suggesting that "The Cigarette Song" should not be listed in this category? --HarryCane 13:41, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cigarette Song 

message: The all music guide lists their genre as power pop, indie rock and emo. Shouldn't we change their genre to that. DavidJJJ 09:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say no, as indie rock would imply some sort of underground/independent/DIY ethic or affiliation, when in fact AAR is pretty mainstream. And I wouldn't want to be engaged in yet another discussion on whether or not a band is emo (see talk pages for Panic! at the Disco, Dashboard Confessional). AAR have very little with the early form of emo (Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas Is the Reason) or the current form of emo (Taking Back Sunday, Thursday) in common. --HarryCane 10:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

text: And a musical genre applies only to one song? In genre discussions, why do people always dig up the oldest song tagged with the genre and compare any newer songs to that? Britney Spears doesn't sound like Frank Sinatra either, but they're still both pop. And "just Rock" is not a sufficient genre classification. --HarryCane 12:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone is reverting the genre of pop punk, which I oppose. --Adriaan90  (Talk|Contribs) 13:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But to be honest, what you, me or the general public think what the genre of the band is, is really irrelevant. Going by google hits (or MP3 labels from probably an awful lot of people who've never held one of their CDs in their hands) is also not the best way to determine that, as for example "all-american rejects" and "emo" brings up even more hits, and anyone who thinks they're emo seriously deserves a lobotomy. See, for instance their Purevolume profile (official), or their Absolutepunk profile (independent and (mostly) unbiased) list them as "power pop" instead of "pop punk". Hell, AMG doesn't label them "pop punk", even though they tend to slap the moniker on every band that uses a distortion guitar (they also don't (anymore) list "power pop", I know). I really think the "punk" label should stay out of the article, because they are not part of the thrid wave punk movement and weren't inspired by bands like blink-182 and Green Day, but by pop/rock bands like The Cars, Def Leppard and AC/DC. --HarryCane 13:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is supposed to be a serious article about "The All American Rejects." However, the last sentence is about the author's roommate. (My roommate Zack Peterson listens to this band non-stop, and sometimes even does this odd tribal dance to the song "Swing Swing.") I think this line should be deleted, being as it is about the author's roommate instead of something band related. Plus, the fact that Zack Peterson does a tribal dance is not newsworthy. As the average reader, I don't care about Zack Peterson.24.47.113.126 13:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  emo not is style,emo not is lyric 

message: Is this really relevant enough to warrant its own section, let alone be in the page at all? If you read the source from the interview, its a one-off question near the end: "RL: And what's the plans after this tour? We did hear a rumour you were to headline the Honda Civic Tour and that had been cancelled? T: Yeah, it's weird. It's the economic crisis man, crazy. But we're still making a car with them and they're still gonna support the tour, it's just not gonna be the full blown thing." This seems more to be about the Honda tour than about AAR, which further strikes me as attributing undue weight to an event. Yeah, it's technically a valid source and a valid piece of information, but when you put a canceled tour into the context of a band that's sold millions of records, it's really not all that important.
