about

I got the inspiration from my former manager when he recounted a story he heard about a band. My mind reeled at the merchandising possibilities but decided to put my musical identity in perspective. To THIS day, though it's been explained to me many times, I have no effing clue what "emo" is.

lyrics

Hello, I’m pretentious. Who are you?
Hello, I’m pretentious. Who are you?
Who gives a damn about a scene?
Do you know what I mean?
As they change from day to day
If you will please educate

What the hell is “emo”?
What does he or she know?
For that matter what is “indie”?
Is that something I should be?

What’s the proper fashion?
Can you tell who’s gay or straight?
Can my clothes get any blacker?
Mascara tears on my face
And it’s uncool to be faithful
To believe in the unseen
The pressure to live to a standard
Do you know what I mean?

Hello?

about

The Enigmatic Foe Knoxville, Tennessee

With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.

The new music coming in 2023.
