MCS doesn't get the credit they're due, really. Since before this genre of music gained a strong following via Fall Out Boy, they have been writing love ballads, teenage sob stories and satirical lyrics such as "let's get fucked up and die," which, unless you were in high school during the song's release, you probably think is in poor taste.
Both bands are much deeper than most give them credit for, but we're glad to see they still have somewhat of a strong following.
While MCS's lyrics tend to focus on the pains of high school and early college, they're not without merit. And although they didn't perform acoustic on Saturday, a simple YouTube search of "Fell In Love Without You (Acoustic)" establishes the band's talent, showcasing vocals, piano and a simple, soothing guitar riff.
By far though, the most spirited part of the night was Say Anything's set. And before you judge their music, take into consideration that they aren't necessarily asking you to feel sorry for kids who are going through growing pains - which, when compared to the problems of adults, seem trivial.
Just try to remember although you may have grown up, others are still in the process, and it's not always easy.
