Emo

Slipknot, Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit (omg:|) are old bands.. emo is a fairly new thing, so you'll be looking at newer bands which arnt very well known in most cases.. or they are but not amongst non emo's

Yes exactly right...although it stems from the 80s, mainstream emo music probably began in about 2000 with Jimmy Eat World (who then moved away from these roots in later albums).

Here's a good list of what would be generally considered "emo" bands (from Wikipedia):

AFI, Alexisonfire, A Static Lullaby, Brand New, Coheed and Cambria, Fall Out Boy, Finch, From Autumn To Ashes, From First To Last, Funeral for a Friend, Hawthorne Heights, Matchbook Romance, My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco Silverstein, Something Corporate, The Starting Line, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Thrice, and Thursday.

Well, around here it is ALL about how you look (Goth, Emo, Chav etc) and that's how you get named.

Emo (usually by hair): The whole hair over eyes "Like a ski-slope" allways usually in tight jeans. - ALLWAYS black, usually listen to "My Chemical Romance" (around here)

Goth: Short or long usually a darker brown colour or natural, standard baggy (none-tight) jeans/shirt/jacket etc; tend to listen to things like Pantera, Deftones, Slayer etc.

Chav: Way they're spoken, simillar to a Emo - Usually tracksuit stuff/mass-produced and sold for 200x more than it's worth. - Tend to listen to... Well, can't name any as I don't know any =S (Crap clothes)

Normal person: (Can depend) from plain jeans to stuff like amarni. what ever hair (natural usually), what ever music (tends to be more classic stuff, Soul/Jazz/Regge etc)

Normal people like reggae and classical music?!



Pigeonhole me please, I need to be understood!

Because, as I say, people generalise with no frame of reference.

Oh, if anyone wants a funky read:

"
group of white, mostly middle-class well-off kids who find imperfections in there life and create a ridiculous, depressing melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majority don't need them. They need to wake up and deal with life like everyone else instead of wallowing in their imaginary quagmire of torment.

Emo conversation!

acidburnedsoul: that sux man
XxSlavetoAnguishxX: i blame myself only i'm such an ass *cries*
acidburnedsoul: dude come over to my house and we can cut ourselves together

acidburnedsoul: omg dashboard confessional has a new cd, i preordered it already
XxSlavetoAnguishxX: dude they're my favorite band to self-mutilate to
acidburnedsoul: i prefer to cut myself while watching Napoleon Dynamite on my bigscreen
XxSlavetoAnguishxX: dude that movie is so deep. i cry every time i see it

Rofl... You know what I mean! 'normal people' tend to be much more open minded when it comes to everything, they don't tend to be in a 'group' - they're just... there *Shuts up now*

Emos are the chavs of the rocker world.

Note the similarities:

1) Horrid looking clothes
2) Generally quite thick
3) Annoying to be in the presence of
4) Stupid haircuts

And so on.

My proposal.

Make a big brother-esque battle royale program where Emos are pitted against Chavs in an all out deathmatch, if they fail to follow the rules, they have their heads blown off via an explosive item (Choker for emos and bling for chavs).

There we go, we have an immediate entertaining channel 4 TV program every night at 9pm and all day on E4! Hurray! We can cull the idiotic part of the nation while being entertained!

 

[UrganNagru]

Would be a pretty short scrap to be honest to much infighting and self mutilation amoung the emu's, the chavs would just zerg them. Mind you atleast it would be finished quickly so they could put something good on TV.

Difference between normal teens and emo kids is that emo kids make it a lifestyle while the rest just gets on with it

I win, I listen to trance as well as Indie all the way to Death Metal!
