pretty stupid name... kinda like IDM as it kind seems to say
that non-emo rock is unemotional...

That's the problem with genre titles. 'Emo', 'IDM' etc.
they're too literal. Music should be something else, it's
good or bad. Loads of 'IDM' is really un-IDM. copying or
using tricks that doesn't need intelligence to make or
listen to.

Jazz and 'rock 'n' roll' make more sense as it doesn't
litterally mean anything.

I could get emotional with the cheeky girls or alanis if I
tried.

no, just because, for example, A has a certain
characteristic does not automatically exclude B from being
able to have the same characteristic.

to say emo is "emotional rock" means all music in this
category is both rock and known for it's emotional content.
it does not imply that all other rockmusic then cannot or
even does not have emotional content. reasoning like that is
absurd.

most "IDM" is just popsongs without vocals and slightly
tweaked sounds.

Warp tried pushing on ELM at one point, meaning "electronic
listening music".

'ELM', OBE, it's all rubbish really. if cinemas/films were
distributed more in that way it'd be sad. Soo many film
missed.

how is it any different from IDM? IDM is intelligent dance
music, and it has been said here by many people that it's a
stupid name because it's almost implying that it's more
intelligent then other styles... so I was just comparing emo
to idm because calling a style of music "emotional" music is
the same as idm in this sense, in that it's saying it's more
emotional then other music... which is pretty stupid thing
to say...

how is that absurd?

simply because it is not saying that. it is stating two
things the music in this genre must conform to.

further consequences for other genres stem solely from your
interpretation.

I do see your point on comparing it to IDM, but that is
different, I think. "intelligent" is a strange word to use
in defining music anyway, whereas "emotional" seems more in
place.

in the end it is ofcourse all crap, but that's beside the
point. :)

ooooh okay.

I do like their stuff. although it does get to sound a bit
the same after a while.

I remember my brother seeing them live and afterwards saying
to me that what we both had thought were guitarsounds on the
cd, actually was the leadsinger singing. we were amazed, I
can tell you!
