message: Any info on why whoever wrote their myspace review calls them a 'country' band? they're about as country as they are death metal. Sojourner001 11:15, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Country? 

message: ok, whichever loser put that they are metal/alternative/punk rock should know that they have nothing in common with any of these genres. story of the year is punk pop, as they have more in common with good charlotte than say, mudvayne. and BTW, it has nothing in common with breaking benjamin either, so don't put alternative metal.
:Mudvayne is nu-metal/post-grunge/alt-metal whatever, so SOTY obviously doesn't sound like them. In what way do they sound like Good Charlotte on ITWOD? They're almost an even mix between metalcore and pop-punk, but their music is still too far from both of those genres to be put up. They're not emo, either, so don't put that up.Theunknown42 00:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  story of the year's genre 

message: I do not believe that SOTY can be called Punk or even rock, fair enough they are not full on metal, but have many characteristics of metal.  For example they scream, which isn't done in rock, and at their concerts there are mosh pits... I would say that they are screamo, that's what they are on my iPod!  Maiden are called Meal yet they are no where near as heavy!
I am going to link this page to the genre area as a disputes, I hope this meets with everyone's approval Asics 15:09, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Screamo or Alternative Metal 

message: Eesh, I hate having to go through all this again. Page Avenue can't be a basis on their genre. And NO, UNTIL THE DAY I DIE isn't about a relationship. Dan specifically stated that it's about life on the road. In the Wake of Determination is definitely metalcore in my view, hell even metal. Listen to the whole album, songs like Meathead or "Is This My Fate," He Asked Them. They have complicated riff structures, and they actually have SOLOS. SOTY is not emotional; never was, so blame it on John Feldman, the producer for Page Avenue. So stick with Alternative or (I think) Metalcore. --Mynabull 01:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Genre, redux

message: I'm not sure who the hell is changing their genre to Heavy Metal but that is seriously the dumbest thing I've heard. Sure the album 'In The Wake Of Determination' has metallish riffs but that's the closest they get to being metal. May some metalhead beat the s*** out of whoever is changing their genre to heavy metal. 219.89.245.170 10:34, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heavy Metal? 

message: ok, so story of the year isnt really full on metal, but they got pretty metal in the new album, like mynabull said, do not base their genre on page avenue because like the dvd said, john feldman didnt let them get very metal. Ok, so were not calling them emo, but please do not call them pop punk or emo, they dont wear clothing like fall out boy and good charlotte (thank god) or those other pop emo bands. so can we try calling them punk rock/metalcore?

thread_title:  ok 

message: They are definitely NOT:- emo- punk- pop-punk- alt. rock- post-hardcore- alt. metal- heavy metal.
Their songz contain elements of:- rock- metal- hardcore,
just as stated on their myspace. And, hell damn it, it wuz done by THEM! So; it's- too hard to be rock- not hard enough to be metal- too metal to be hardcore- too rock to be metalcore.
F*ck, not an easy thing XD It's "metallic melodic hardcore" :P. Like Rise Against with a metallic sound insteada' the punkish one they have...maybe. Or not.
::How about melodic metalcore?220.235.150.86 04:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  yo 

message: I fail to see how this band is country and metal.  Metal is heavy with complex riffs.  Country has a distinct sound that anyone can find easily.  I personally hearing a few of their songs conclude that they are mix of Punk Rock (a little Hardcore), Post-Hardcore, and Emo.  The reason I say emo is one time I was on Yahoo! Music and I watch one of their old videos which was a very slow acoustic-driven song which was VERY emotional.  For the most part these guys have a punk rock sound and that is simply what it should be too.  These guys sound very similar to Stretch Arm Strong.

thread_title:  Story of the Years Genre Best Described 

message: Argh! Who the hell are the jerks that keeps saying that this crap is metal, hardcore or whatever???
SOTY sure aren't whatever of these above. 
THEY AREN'T EMOS too, just look at the style... nobody is wearing black and red all the time and they don't cry when they sing...  -_-
I believe that SOTY is pop-punk. It is very similir to other pop-punk bands like simple plan, good charlotte and yellowcard. Let's just stop fighting over this thing and put rock, maybe post-punk and pop-punk or even melodic hardcore...  
...not that my opinion would change your freaking conservative minds who insist that they are metal or punk or emo or jazz or rapcore or R&B or whatever.
Jeez... They call themselves a 'rock' band because they know that being labeled as 'emos','melodic whatever', and 'pop' isn't safe for health.
           -Good Call
ok, since when do you see emo bands crying on stage, your just a stereotype, so why should people listen to you? how are they a pop punk band? have you even heard their new album? it doesnt come close to pop, except for "wake up the voiceless" but all the other songs are more punk/metal/hardcore. just call them hard rock please.Anonymousslam 04:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
