[Pat Marquez]

[shane hennessey]

looks lame

[Tostitos]

Honestly have more respect for the backstreet boys

[rr_thecrowing]

Interested? Nope.

[crit]

this song is honestly so bad that i just laugh.

[iheartmariokart]

Please let their be more to this video, for their sake. I feel horrible for them.

[preppyak]

Honestly have more respect for the backstreet boys
Same here...

And Shaant makes Anthony Green look like a great music video lip syncher...and that is saying something

[Self_Destruct]

I like them. Honestly, their cd is more fun to listen to than alot of other things I've heard. Good thing scene points are gone or I'd be getting bashed : (

[SlowDescent]

this dude loves his hair...im gonna knock him out cut his hair then watch him cry....
this band is so fuckin annoying

[Jason Tate]

:headwall:

Simpson did a good job picking out their outfits at least ...

[yutsmcgee]

It oozes awkwardness.

[TheHeretic]

NO NO NO NO GAYGAYGAYGAY

"I put the M, the E, the T, the R, the O, the S, the E, the X, the U, the A AND the L in metrosexual"

[YourMusicSucks]

That's such a shitty video. And I hate that song.

"Risque", "The Curse of Curves" and "I put the metro.." are the only songs by them I consider decent. That CD has the most filler I've ever listened to.

[preppyak]

"I put the M, the E, the T, the R, the O, the S, the E, the X, the U, the A AND the L in metrosexual"
Is that seriously one of their lyrics? Because if it is...just wow

[Smithers]

i don't break hearts. i just dent them.

superb writing.

[TheHeretic]

Is that seriously one of their lyrics? Because if it is...just wow

no they have a song called...I put the metro in metronome.

this is way better though

[YourMusicSucks]

i don't break hearts. i just dent them.

superb writing.

Shant knows what a good writer he it, too; They repeat the line twice in a row, just in case anyone missed how cool and clever he is.

[preppyak]

no they have a song called...I put the metro in metronome.

this is way better though
yeah, I know the song name...and I knew thier lyrics were terrible from all I had read of them (and sadly heard), and it wasn't too much of a stretch for them to have used those in their CD

[preppyak]

Shant knows what a good writer he it, too; They repeat the line twice in a row, just in case anyone missed how cool and clever he is.
I'd just like him to explain how drama doesn't follow him, yet rides on his back...clearly he failed something in science.

They just try so hard...i almost feel bad watching them end up in mediocrity

[TheHeretic]

yeah, I know the song name...and I knew thier lyrics were terrible from all I had read of them (and sadly heard), and it wasn't too much of a stretch for them to have used those in their CD


haha I know.....

[Tostitos]

i don't break hearts. i just dent them.

superb writing.
"He said it was a one night stand, but the alcohol wouldn't let her understand"

thats superb writing

[Joe DeAndrea]

So much hate for this band. :-(
It's a shame the people on this site only like Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Underoath - the 3 bands I don't hear any negative things about, but whenever there's a news article about this genre, there's just everyone always complaining on how it sucks.

[kallok]

MtvU? I think they're more suited for the Disney channel. At least this video will be good for a few laughs when I'm sitting in Arbys on campus and it's playing.

[YourMusicSucks]

-Brand new left their fans out of the loop and are taking too long to release a new CD.

-"Where You Want to Be" is a festering piece of shit. "Louder Now" is better, but doesn't come close to TAYF.

-"They're only chasing safety" flat out sucks. The new effort is better, but not great. At all.

Cute is what we aim for is like my 8th most played artist on last-fm. I've tried so hard to give them a chance, and I do genuinly like a few of their songs... But c'mon, read into the lyrics, listen to how shitty the demos are before autotune saved them; go see them live and laugh your ass off... there are too many reasons to want this band to spontaneously combust.

there is definitely negativity towards those first 2 bands. and this band hasn't garnered the credibility to be treated like any of those three, or even half the bands in the same genre.

so yes, they get hate.

-"They're only chasing safety" flat out sucks. The new effort is better, but not great. At all.

fixed the title. and i like that cd a lot. it would take a really bad cd for me to say anything flat out sucks. I won't even say CIWWAF flat out sucks. Will I listen to it no? But it doesn't "flat out" suck.

[YourMusicSucks]

You're right, I apologize. I was more trying to illustrate a point than get my views about any particular CD across =P

[The Matt Kaufman]

Ill give it a chance..it seems like an ok video..but of course Id be shocked if anyone else agrees with me

[TheHeretic]

has anyone ever mentioned that shaant emits the word: gents....(PUKE) like at least once each song....


oh and this lyrical masterpiece: "Girly, girly..you're at your best....when you're sober...

[N8IVIin0rity]

naw. everyones h8s on br& new cuz we didnt know when their new stuff would come out.
TBS--people will continue to complain that john isnt in the band.
and uO---people always play the God card. all the lame kids still bring up dallas. so. ya.

[MattRM]

Same here...

And Shaant makes Anthony Green look like a great music video lip syncher...and that is saying something

Are you fucking retarded? It's youtube, there's always a delay in the sound and the video...

[screwbizzle]

i love this banddd. and i am def. enjoying this clip!

[killthepilot]

you think most other bands are out giving other bands shit about doing what they wanna do ? No, only talentless lowlifes on this website.

[*crying stars*]

definitely submitted this. :)

not really liking the clip.

[Jason Tate]

you think most other bands are out giving other bands shit about doing what they wanna do ? No, only talentless lowlifes on this website.

I'd argue the talentless ones are in this band.

[Just An End]

yes, the lyrics suck... and yeah, the video looks pretty gay... but it's catchy, mindless POP punk, and that's all it will ever be... I don't blame those who think they suck, because it's really easy to see why... but on the other hand, I do like them for what they are... just sugary pop-punk that gets stuck in your head

[Joe DeAndrea]

I don't know, maybe it's just me, because I like autotune on records. I believe CIWWAF has around 900 plays on my last.fm, and I don't know what it is, but I guess it's the catchyness that makes me like them. And I did see them live once, I thought they were very good though I kept wondering why in concert, Shaant sings and talks like a girl and on the CD it's different.

So I guess I just kind of proved myself wrong here. :-|

i agree... i spin this album a lot because i like it, for what it is. i'm surely not saying that this band is great, and the lyrics could use some work, but all in all, i like this band and their music.

Well everyone is entitled to their own preference... Just as I can see how you like CIWWAF, try and see how the rest of us can hate the hell out of them. Don't pin it on our mindless love for Underoath, Brand New, and TBS haha

I like shitty poppunk ... there are hundreds of bands that do it better.

[robdobi]

hmm shaant's hair is beautiful. can't wait for the full video.

...

[disfiguredid]

...


i dont know how it is everywhere else, but in buffalo, theres a continous crowd of girls around him. i dont know why either.

[Just An End]

I like shitty poppunk ... there are hundreds of bands that do it better.
fm static?

[elonman05]

These guys are just so damn overrated

[Ruggiero2oo8]

haha

[iheartmariokart]

the video sucks. The band sucks. Last time i talked to shaant he said he was dreading this video cause the concept was forced by fbr.

[thesaturation]

Now, people. We all know that this manufactured, generic band has been getting their way due to many apparent circumstances that include whining, bribing, firing, whining some more, and sweet talking pre-teen girls.

Did you expect anything different (in terms of video concept and quality) from this piece-of-shit band?

I didn't.

[jesuschrist]

this is horrible.

[Smithers]

I like shitty poppunk ... there are hundreds of bands that do it better.
exactly. i do too and i can ramble of over a dozen better options than Cwhatever.

[MotionCS]

this video is horrible compared to the latest FBR vids....

[Bury Your Head]

hahaha next time i pass by shaant or any of the others in buffalo im gonna laugh so hard. fucking queers "drama doesnt follow me it rides on my back" weet shaant. and to think they stole lyrics from their old ska band before cute for this? why fbr why?!?@!?!?!?

[Bury Your Head]

the video sucks. The band sucks. Last time i talked to shaant he said he was dreading this video cause the concept was forced by fbr.
proof these guys are fucking puppets being used to make money.

[get2sammyb]

All band use fucking Autotune ok? Some more than others. BUT THEY ALL USE IT.

[anamericangod]

are they really that bad live?

[McSavah]

Really lame.

[wypij]

yeah this band is horrible. the only reason why theyre huge is because they have rich parents.. theyre from buffalo NY.. yeah with parents who are loaded..c'mon i'm sure everyone was wondering "how does this happen".

check them out live and you'll laugh.

buffalo is a great place for bands.. this day and age, everytimeidie, snapcase, last conservative, goo goo dolls,....the list could go on and on but NOT cute is what we gay for. or crap is what we aim for.. haha wow

[ishotthepilot]

are they really that bad live?

no.

[Bury Your Head]

yeah this band is horrible. the only reason why theyre huge is because they have rich parents.. theyre from buffalo NY.. yeah with parents who are loaded..c'mon i'm sure everyone was wondering "how does this happen".

this guy is 100% right folks. i live in buffalo and california and i fucking saw cute live cause my girlfriends friend knows punchline and i saw them with punchline and valencia. i laughed so hard!! i actually give my friend crap cause like 2 years ago she used to talk to shaant while he had a gf and didnt tell her. see DOUCHEBAG now onto the others... the drummer used to be a tool until the others in cute completely changed his look uh huhhhhhh........ the bassist is just a fat shmuck i remember he was talking to shit a friend i was with at the show cause we all know the guys and they were asking why she came to see them (proof this band is completely full of themselves) and their guitarist fred? oh poor fred he was a real nice guy and now he has gotten cocky too (but he was sincere for the longest time) and he prides himself on such things as smoking weed with andrew from soco/jacks manequin and thinks hes a rockstar.

dont just bash shaant, the whole band sucks. they dont do music for the right reasons and their lyrics are so childish i could have my 7th grade sister write them. please people stop letting labels think this type of manufactured crap is a winner by going out and buying their album or else we will get more copycats sadly enough

[punkerz2003]

I have trouble believing in God when bands like this get exposure.

[Dan CiTi]

i dont know how it is everywhere else, but in buffalo, theres a continous crowd of girls around him. i dont know why either. I fucked one of those in the ass.

yeah this band is horrible. the only reason why theyre huge is because they have rich parents.. theyre from buffalo NY.. yeah with parents who are loaded..c'mon i'm sure everyone was wondering "how does this happen".

You forgot Damiera, they rock and gave out cookies & pretzels at their CD release show. So cool.

proof these guys are fucking puppets being used to make money. And we go where the money goes. -Shaant Hacikyan in "The Curse Of Curves"


3 words to describe the this clip: Color Me Cliche.

[fart face]

this guy is 100% right folks. i live in buffalo and california and i fucking saw cute live cause my girlfriends friend knows punchline and i saw them with punchline and valencia. i laughed so hard!! i actually give my friend crap cause like 2 years ago she used to talk to shaant while he had a gf and didnt tell her. see DOUCHEBAG now onto the others... the drummer used to be a tool until the others in cute completely changed his look uh huhhhhhh........ the bassist is just a fat shmuck i remember he was talking to shit a friend i was with at the show cause we all know the guys and they were asking why she came to see them (proof this band is completely full of themselves) and their guitarist fred? oh poor fred he was a real nice guy and now he has gotten cocky too (but he was sincere for the longest time) and he prides himself on such things as smoking weed with andrew from soco/jacks manequin and thinks hes a rockstar.

so you live in buffalo and california and all of the sudden you know just about about the band members in cute is what we aim for and all of their parents financial status's. in fact! you know so much about them that you know that the guitarrists (jeff)'s real name is fred. "poor fred was a real nice guy"? you dont even know who the fuck he is. also, "so childish i could have my 7th grade sister write them? very witty/intelligent joke.---

finally, jason tate does in fact eat ass holes

why bash these dudes!? seriously! just because its not the type of music you like does not mean that u should come on here and post shit about them to make yourself feel bigger and better about yourselfves you insecure people you.

[myaimistruex3]

ok, so...this video doesn't look like its going anywhere. i hope i'm wrong.
this band is sort of like a guilty pleasure. fun for a summer day maybe?
some lyrics are good, some lyrics seem to be a little all over the place..as if the thought was never completed.
i do like them, but i can understand why people wouldn't.
i can't stand the auto tune on the album. i liked the demos a whole lot better.
and shaant does say "gent" alot.

[J4xoR]

this dude loves his hair...im gonna knock him out cut his hair then watch him cry....
this band is so fuckin annoying

exact same thing i was thinking LOL :rolleyes:

[Cue the Sun]

I have trouble believing in God when bands like this get exposure.
lmao

[goyoyofosoco]

I have trouble believing in God when bands like this get exposure.





Amen. I'm actually pretty ashamed of myself for even reading this thread, but, once I got through two pages without a good, old-fashioned Tate-bashing, I had to continue. The quote above makes me so glad I did.

[Chris Fallon]

The Backscene Boys.

Giggle tee hee

haha are you kidding me? you wanna defend this band? haha ok go for it. do i know them on a wayyyy personal level? no. did i used to think fred was a nice guy? yes. i talked to him plenty of times before im not some guy making shit up to kill time buddy and almost all my friends in buffalo are or was freinds with all the guys in the band back in their cherry bing days (you remember that shitty ska band right?) and considering the nice ass area they live in buffalo (been there) and how much they boast about all their equipment to people that NO SHIT their parents got them id say yeah its easy to guess their situation even they admitted to how much their parents gave them to start this band. if you wanna one second tell me they got where they are without their parents providing your a fool cause everything was hand given to them. no i am not trying to make myself feel great on a message board buddy i just like bands that work hard, that love the music they play and be creative. this band lacks all of that and some. read the lyrics (that some were taken from cherry bing) that are trying so hard to sound witty and catchy or look no further than how cocky they are and try to impress people. why bash these dudes? why not. the least they could do is be humble and not think cause one success album bought by little FOB girl fans they got it made. i will laugh my ass off comes next album and they fade away.

p.s. you should be their publicist.


but i wouldnt be shocked if you were.

Sounds like something Shaant would write.
Aka, complete and utter shite.

[veronabryce]

I LOVE THIS BAND, and if that makes me lame on a message board, then boo hoo.

[Julia Conny]

So the cool thing to do is hate this band? Ok, gotcha.

[Bury Your Head]

Sounds like something Shaant would write.
Aka, complete and utter shite.

thank you.



i was just about to call a friend to see if shaant comes to this website. he would cry seeing all the bash on him. just like how he would call my girlfriend crying when he heard someone making fun of him at shows. OOPS did i just let that slip?

I really can't stand the music these guys make, but fyi you are an ass. Did these guys ever do something to you or do you just have a tree stuck up your ass :(
