By now you’ve probably heard about the oncoming “emos” versus “punks” war. When the battle-sob of the emos is rung throughout the land, you can be sure I’ll be cinching up my ladies jeans with a white belt and throwing down for the right to be sad.

You can also be sure that I’ll rock the hell out of the new Paramore song, “That’s What You Get”, before trudging off to battle. This song is amazing. It’s like “Since U Been Gone” filtered through Hot Topic, and before the knee-jerk reaction sets in when you realize I’m singing the praises of a band on a label run by that dude from Fall Out Boy whose penis is all over the internet (google at your own risk), just think back to 2005 and how great “Since U Been Gone” was.

With just a tiny bit more exposure this song is going to run the Kelly Clarkson route. It will go beyond being just a guilty pleasure and everyone will openly admit to loving the hell out of it. It’s only a matter of time before indie bands with cred (I’m looking at you Ted Leo) start throwing in covers of it at the end of their sets.

Well, at least this is the way it’s going to go down once the emos win the Great Rock War of 2008.
