don't be so fucking emo

[eris]

Ok, this is going to be a really unpopular thread   I don't care




Ok so the word emo gets thrown around a lot, on here and in life. I'm guessing most people dont know what emo really is. It's music. That's all. To call someone emo beause they are being an emotinal twit, that's something else. Im talking about the music.

ok so 99% of it DOES suck - but it comes from punk !!!! So, it all can't be that bad. I don't like "emo" at all really, so put your Dashboard Confessional away TYVM , Im talking about Screamo.

Bands like ( one of my favorite bands of all time)   AFI   changed music...... It went from Hardcore Punk, to Post- Hardore, to something called Emo. Screamo is NOT emo. but it is very much like emo when it comes to some of the musical styings and it is definitly "from" emo.

So, Give Screamo a chance. No anything you hear on the radio or music stations is going to suck along with evey other song on the radio.

Here are 2 examples of some of the best Screamo out there. If you dont like "alteranative" music in general of course you wont like it, but if you do, I bet you'd like it. And I bet it surprises the hell ouf of you that " this is emo".











And as for the style of clothes and dress?  It's just fashion. It's been aound since the 70s

When I was a teenager I did that too, and I still dress the part.  

It was just called punk then.





And holy shit those emo guys are fiiiiiiine. One starts talking to me and I go " uh ,, bluh bbuhhh ahh".....







now go on and tell me that Sreamo sucks

Consider the term emo to be the name for the current generation's occurrence of children in black. I know them.

[Squidusa]

Sorry Eris , I still think screamo sucks

yeah   for that

It's kind of what I tried to say but was extremely long winded about it

Emo is this generation of " kids in black ", that's all........ but emo started way back in the 80s.








I was a "kid in black"

no i didnt cut myslef and cry. But I've been into punk and goth since I was very young, and have always been "alternative"

I think when people all it Scene, I think that just means it is not attached to the music anymore. And this whole "crunk punk" thing is absolutly retarded and it is a shame it is catchin on

Sorry Eris , I still think screamo sucks  

fair enough. at least you like Manson

Then should we listen to emo and like, apologize to each other profusely while we  slit our wrists and write bad poetry with the pretty red water ?

[DirtDawg]

I do not mind the screamo you posted and I have actually paid with my own dollars to acquire some AFI, but I am more of an old time headbanger.

I like guitar music, mostly.

I do listen to all kinds of music, since my appetite for music is huge, but again, being an older guy with a few years of music industry work in my past, I prefer to relax and wind down to music that can shake the floor and I often do shake the floor when I am alone.

These days, my "active" listening has gone from about sixty percent hard rock (various sub-genre included of course), twenty percent jazz, ten percent classical and random mix of everything else (from say about ten years ago) to more like forty percent jazz, thirty percent hard guitar-shredder rock and then a random mix of everything else.


TBH, I have heard so many definitions of the term "emo" regarding music genre, that I feel that it has lost its meaning.


Tell me ... WTF does emo even mean in terms of a music genre.

(... but, PLEASE, I can google as well as the next.)

Show me what razor I can flail against to cut wisdom into my calloused mind.

EMO means emotional, and it comes from punk  




It started in the 80s actually, one of the first bands was Dramarama

Emotional lyrics and the loss of that notorious punk beat really define it, but as with all music, it went in different diretions. Just like any regular alternative that is played on the radio , popular emo sucks ass.

Screamo came from Hardore Punk. Other types of emo come from other kinds of punk.

AFI and the post-hardcore scene really brought it into the mainstream really

harcore punk became post-hardore then became screamo

I dont know a ton about other kinds of emo, but it allllll started in the 80s with bands like Dramarama






This is one of the first emo bands of all time, and it was way before it started sucking. Still had that punk beat a little bit. I think it was like 1985 or something ?

I love this song

Bad Religion? Rise Against?

I fucking hate those God-awful bands.

I much prefer doom metal above everything else.
