Motormouth Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers has taken another swipe at emo bands, with Fall Out Boy again feeling his wrath.
Talking to NME, Flowers labelled the genre "dangerous" and said he is worried about the impact the genre is having on a whole generation of young music fans.
He snapped: "Culturally, if it gets as big (in the UK) as it is in America, it could change an entire generation of people growing up here. Emo, pop-punk, whatever you want to call it, is dangerous.
"We don't wanna dislike anyone, and we've still never met Fall Out Boy, but there's a creature inside me that wants to beat all those bands to death.
"They just all go into the happy emo funnel and everyone loves 'em without thinking. 'Oh, Fall Out Boy likes you? Fuck! I'm gonna go buy your CDs.'"
