Fair use rationale for Image:JimmyEatWorld1994.gif[edit]

Image:JimmyEatWorld1994.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

not emo[edit]

this album is not emo,as they had not experimented with emo yet,they don't say they were emo until static previals —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nirvanarox55 (talk • contribs) 12:53, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is definitely not emo, but it isn't post-grunge either, grunge hadn't fallen yet, therefore post-grunge didn't exist!--Samushi101 (talk) 06:41, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about just grunge.its sounds a bit like it.in fact,i think punk rock would just be fine at the end of the day.

but,emo????

the person who thought it acceptable to list that probably never listened to it.those lyrics are not emo.its acctually impossible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.44.95.30 (talk) 13:41, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

This article currently states that this album is a "Pop Punk" album but the article that is cited to justify that classification does not use that term to describe this album at all. In fact, that article classifies this album as "Skate Punk."

"Static Prevails' hardest, scrappiest, most out-of-tune song is opener 'Thinking, That's All.' On this album, lead vocals were split between Tim [sic] Linton (who was the lead vocalist on Jimmy Eat World's 1994 skate punk debut) and Jim Adkins (who took over as lead vocalist on Clarity)..."

I personally don't like either the "Skate Punk" or "Pop Punk" label for this album, but I'm going to update the article to say "Skate Punk" since that's what the cited article says and it's at least probably a more accurate description of this album than "Pop Punk" since they released another two punk/post-hardcore/emo-core albums after this one before going in a more pop-punk direction with Bleed American.
