Emo music - It's not so bad is it?

[Morphius]

The Starting Line, they rock and there is no arguing with this comment. not emo but thought I should let u all knwo what ur missing

 

[haarewin]

i like the subways? are they 'emo'?
one of the lyrics is 'It's okay to feel alone, It's okay to be alone' from With You (i really like that song.)

 

[Outlander]

I dont really have a thing for some 'emo' type music or things that might be reffered to as 'emo'. But what I do object to is all the teeny shit sounding US bands that are about that all sound the fucking same and there songs are all about the same stuff and are lyrically retarded. imo.

(specially that take a cock and pull it song or whatever it is)

Perhaps you are very specific in your musical taste, making all other bands look boring/pointless.

Sometimes it's "show me your avatar and I tell you who you are" =))

No offence meant when I say that, though, cause sometimes it's incredibly fun =)

I'm 99% sure Cemeterygates listens to black/death metal a lot =)

And Eggy, understanding lyrics has nothing to do with a good hearing =) It works on some bands, but if you can listen to an "Amon Amarth" or "Burzum" song and tell me the lyrics after not many times listening, then you're my personal hero =) (although I guess after listening to a Burzum song like 3 times you'll be bored to tears )

I hate stereotyping. I think it shows an incredible array of ignorance.

Music isn't split into the genres you're led to believe on TV/the radio. It is wide-ranging and diverse.

"Emo" music, whos name originates from emotional rock in the late 80s and is often a term that is used as an insult these days. The emo focus then switched to more indie music. After the 90s, new bands emerged more diverse than before, leaving the emo term a vague identifier and not a genre of music as such.

It's lost its meaning, and is now used generally to describe rock music with an emotional context. ie music about losing out in love, pain and suffering, suicide etc. The term is, however, irrelevant as the span of bands it encapsulates in society is a contradiction to its meaning. Bands playing upbeat "happy" music are now considered 'emo' as well. Bands that are placed under this heading are, as mentioned above, utterly different in musical style, make-up and audience, ranging from hardcore metal, shouting, all the way to modern day emotional rock and indie.

Just because someone listens to a band that the majority class under the 'emo' heading isn't derogatory of the listener. Personally, I have an incredibly eclectic musical taste, ranging from romantic symphonies to hardcore metal.

Be open minded; the term doesn't mean much these days.

Wow dude, I just asked if the music that I thought was pretty cool was considered Emo

Melachi... i just looked at your avatar and knew you were Emo!!! look at that fringe!!

Yeah I gave myself that avatar after I found out that AFI etc, were Emo. And as it turned out, so is Abercrombie clothes, so it turns out im kinda emo

Emo and proud tbh!

Ps. No I dont have that gay haircut, thats not Emo, thats gay

Hehe no actually I'm a bit of a smiley git in real life, the type who would smile at a funeral.

Oh yeah btw, the thing peeps are talking about when they misquote the lyrics off the Fall out boy song, comes from this!

Rites of Spring and Sunny Day Real Estate were good though.

 

[Conchabar]

[Raven]

Urm..

I'm just a notch in your bed post, but you're just a line in a song.

You obviously have great hearing!

[Gamah]

 

[liloe]

since when is "Linkin Park" emo? =)) Hybrid Theory and Meteora (to some point) are great and the new albums are simply shit =)

 

[eksdee]

first person who actually has some idea what they're talking about in this thread. awesome.

considering bands like the hated, rites of spring and embrace were all around in the 80s, being called emo, it makes me fucking sick to see the idiotic bandying-around of the word on all this cock-metal rubbish like funeral for a friend and rubbish like that. people have such bad taste in music, and such ignorant and stupid views on music. the punk scene from which bands like embrace, for example, came from (the dc punk scene in the 80s) is still one of the most vibrant and exciting scenes in the world. emo, indie, hardcore, diy punk, whatever you want to call it is a massive scene, comprising some of the most fantastic and genuine people i'll ever meet and be involved with and i'm proud to be a part of it. it, however, has nothing to do with this shit like avenged sevenfold, funeral for a friend and so forth. people need to get some serious lessons in music culture.

[Infanity]

Emo Girl: "Hey will you take me on a date"
Guy: "No.."
Emo Girl: "afk to slit my wrists"

Thats the usual stereotype.

That would be Goths

 

[Conchabar]

emos do it 2, goths generaly tend to be more hardcore about it, they used real bared wire and shit

 

[Everz]

They both suck, same as the music nuff said.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Geeth = slit wrists
Goth = stylish(slightly victorian era) metal people

Dude, no.

Goths are the geezers who run around with coats like Neo and have a knife in their every pocket just incase anybody tells them that their penis is too small.

Not only that, they wear boots that the british used in the first world war.



They take stuff too serious, and too extreme.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well, call me goth then...no knife though

Weird stereotyping...

Then your not a Goth.
