Bear the Astronot releases new single "EMO Haircut"

Bear the Astronot releases a genre-bending new single entitled "EMO Haircut". The song is a fun, sarcastic, overview of EMO culture reminiscent somewhat of early Beck, of course with Hip-Hop undertones. "EMO Haircut" pokes more fun at the MC himself than anyone else. "I wrote this song to poke fun at myself, and make a cultural statement at the same time. I started growing my hair out awhile ago, and every once in awhile I would straighten it before I went out to perform or whatever. Every time I did that, everywhere I went, I heard "Whats up Fall Out Boy" or "EMO the Astronot is in the house tonight"....instead of downplaying it, I decided to add fuel to the fire. EMO culture and Hip-Hop culture are mixing more and more now.....I myself....might have the haircut.....but I think I will stick to Hip-Hop. EMO is just a little too heart-wrenching for me" explained Bear the Astronot.

The Arizona MC then went on to say, "I like to make fun of myself while explaining the funny and quirky things about others. I think it makes for great songwriting. I have started noticing a certain tension in underground Hip-Hop now, in as Sage Francis said "The Time of Atmosphere". We don't need defining lines in Hip-Hop, especially not at the Indie/Underground level. If you wanna cut your hair all "Fierce!" and watch Project Runway to distract you from how much you hate your emotional dark little life......then more power to ya'! If you wanna' keep it old school and never leave the DJ Premier era behind....then do it. I hope you add my music somewhere in the middle of all of it......Just don't push your beliefs or lifestyle on others. The way people look has only a small amount to do with who they are. I also wanted to warn you...so you don't take signs and pictures like the one attached to this blog so literally....cuz it would really suck to have the Hip Hop guy with the EMO Haircut whoop your ass in front of all your friends....with that faggy haircut and all. Don't judge and divide in Hip Hop. I wanted to say all of that in this song, but I really didn't....I just made a fun little song that makes fun of myself and EMO kids. I guess I saved the rest for the blog..".
