sorry, maybe i'm just old and outta the loop, but wtf is emo? Type of music? A genre... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a genre, stands for emotional hardcore. Consists of "emotional" lyrics with hard rock, to the best of my knowledge. I can't stand it. heh |

what are some "EMO" bands/groups to check out? |
||||||||
|
|

emo is short for crap, except for some of the emo bands who were making it before it was a national phemonemon. fugazi was the first real emo band and they 0wn. dismemberment plan were great too (they just broke up). some of the other stuff's ok too; i love the emo tribute to bjork over @ hushrecords.com. but most emo is awful. emo is actually short for "emotional rock". in other words, guys with feelings. |

bands to check out: get up kids (not the latest album though)or jaw breaker. jimmy eat world and dashboard confessional are bad emo |
||||||||
|

it's really depressing usually. i would not sugest listening to it after a break up :/ i learned the hard way |

I think Thursday might be Emo. Pitchforkmedia.com called them "screamo" which I feel is more accurate. They also said they sucked, which I feel is accurate as well. No offense to any Thursday fans. Feel free to yell at me :) |

thursday ugh they opened up for my band at the buzz cafe once it was the night they got signed |
||||||||

|
|
then, are sigur ros or gsyba emo? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
if slint were emo then they're great too. and if slint counts then mogwai too. but i'd lump both those bands in with the post-rock crowd. |
||||||||
|

tolstoyed nah i wouldn't say mogwai are emo i woke up to the song punk rock: by mogwai once.. i was kind of upset all day |

It's for teenagers to cry for no reason and listen to gay music. Yup. |

i don't listen to much... i really like four minute mile by the get up kids though... |

asche is on to something... emo is commonly linked to thick rimmed glasses, crying, and live journals, but weezer is NOT emo |

dashboard confessional is some shitty, shitty music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

that's pretty much how i feel if you were to strip away the niceties i add cos people are constantly offended by my opinions. just like rap music is music to make teenagers feel like they're badass and have overcome so many of life's struggles when really mom and dad pay for all their bills and they've never been a victim of any kind of prejudice or oppression in their life. and metal is music that makes teenagers think that they've usurped control of their lives which they wreck with their own stupidity and apathy. and just like... |

emo used to describe hard-rock bands, like xlr described in his first post. go to http://www.fourfa.com to learn what was known as emo originally. but it's now used to describe punk bands that sing about their break ups (with girls), or any other kind of music that sounds sad. so if you ask a punk kid he'll tell you that bands like weezer and radiohead are emo. or any other whiny band/singer for that matter. oh yes for emo kids also label any independent rock band as emo (pavement, mogwai, bult to spill, modest mouse, etc) in conclusion in these days emo has no meaning. emo kids think everything's emo. but if it has to be used as a genre i'd use it to describe early emo bands, as fugazi, jawbreaker, native nod, etc. a more recent example of classic emo would be "at the drive in" i think that's the most modern band that represents what emo was. |

current emo would be: taking back sunday yellowcard something corporate thursday finch etc. all these could somewhat fall under poppy punk too, so whatever. I happen to really like Yellowcard, Finch and many of these bands. |

I used to like Emo, but then I turned 20..not like age really matters I guess I should say and then I found better music Emo is good sometimes but its always the same shit *Jimmy eat world is the only emo I like. *Thursdays is pretty good *Hey Mercedes is alright *Get up kids is fun *the used has good songs *Weezer's is old skool so it wouldnt be considered emo, but its old stuff is very Emo (emo shouldnt be classified as shitty) Can't think of anymore |

Dashboard confessional? My mate pulled me along to that gig at reading, and he was playing. The biggest wet blanket ever, just boring, tedious and un-remarkable. the sort of stuff that is part of this whole 'demographic' nature of modern music. Fuck off! |

who said Local H was emo? I have a guy rocking a guitar in my avatar. No one besides you or I know who he is, and everyone knows the H isn't emo. I was just making a point, as seemed I made it obvious that I would like that kind of music......... guess not |

emo means you wear highwaters |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no no no... not highwaters but just rolled up jeans. i do that somtimes *pauses to roll up jeans* but i think emo is currently an attitude or something, associated with a few different types of music that may or may not be 'emo' music as it was originally conceived. like that bitch last year who was really condescending to me, or that guy alex, their emo. emo is a state of being, like parallel to nirvana maybe. |
