[edit] Weasel Wording

The statement.. "While they do ape many elements of these genres, some street team promoters place them in the "emocore" genre." is clear weasel wording and in some way should be rewritten to avoid this

I am not sure if they actually said that yet (I have not found any proof online of such a quote yet). From what I've seen of them on their videos and such they seem to have a sense of humor (oh wait, humour - they're Canucks) so I wouldn't be surprised if the quote attributed to them is indeed a band quote, albeit a facetious one.

Thats statement is silly "some team promoters place them in the "emocore" genre. Well yes, that would be an exact description of a blend of Hardcore, Emo and Punk so that sentance uses two phrases to say the same thing.

"Their song "Smashed to Pieces" was used (and butchered) by American Idol contestant Ryan Hart on the January 31, 2006 program." No matter how many people may or may not agree with the statement "butchered", it's obviously nothing but an opinion, completely unnecessary. The ignorant kids who have nothing better to do but insert their opinions into unfortunate article need to..go away. Removed the "(and butchered)". Shatha 19:16, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How come no one noticed this line?

The band's determination to "break down the boundaries" between their bank accounts and their fans' wallets prevents them from being so easily categorized.

This line is obviously a piece of vandalism. I've deleted it from the main article. To the ignorant piece of shit that posted it to the article, I say... start your own band. Cjmarsicano 06:02, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I laughed, at least. 71.19.6.20 15:53, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Also... Why is there a picture of Chris Masters in a sombrero as their main picture?

Because someone is "updating" the pictures on a number of band articles. You have to click on the picture, go to a previous version, and select revert.--Wehwalt 16:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] genre

-Silverstein is a melodic post-hardcore band. They are not screamo/emo. LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC, its easy to tell. Iii9ix3 04:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Discovering the Waterfront has a real melodic sense to it, definately not classifiable as screamo, same in Ides of March.Starom*** 18:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
