Excellent interview with Jade about Crash Love, the problem with trendiness in music, the public's obsession with celebrities (remember he has a Bachelor's Degree in Social Theory), and the change in AFI's sound over time.
"When you talk about underground genres, that's where we came from, hardcore and punk. A lot of those are so enclosed they don't encourage growth and experimentation. If you're in the punk scene, for instance, you're labeled a sellout if you do something that explores melody. I listen to a lot of electronic music, and a lot of those genres are really narrowly defined. You can't step out of them. If you're an EBM or a trance artist, you can't do anything else or else your fans are going to be like "What are you doing? This isn't EBM!""
