Most youth look that ridulous that I can't even tell who is emo/scene/wanker etc. 5 years ago I easily could.

As for this thread, I see little point of trying to differentiate what is emo and what isn't. Terms are fairly subjective, and in my opinion "emo" applies to anything from post-hardcore to scene. The music doesn't need to be depressing, simply just needs to be made by pasty skinny white kids in skinny jeans. That could also mean some electronic music.

From that, they're a subgenre of hipster.

I'm don't know much about the youth of the last 5 years honestly. I know I dont like this brand new emo stuff with the rap influenes.  I grew up in the late 90s but i've managed to follow music.

You're right it's pointless to pinpoint what emo is. It is like trying to define punk, there is so much variety it is impossible. In fact, emo IS punk - so we should just call it punk and leave it alone    

What I am trying to say is that there IS "hard" emo out there, for people who like metal-type music.....and its not all boys crying into their guitars.  






and speaking of boys crying into their guitars....

Morrissey? That fag was the Terry Jacks of the 1980s. 

 


Oh, I don't think so   Morrissey and The Smiths are brilliant. He is a class act. Johnny Marr is an excellent songwriter ( he is writing music for modest mouse now) and Morrissey is a brilliant lyrist.

I sat and thought a long time about the perfect song that would change your mind, I would post "pretty girls make graves" because that is my favorite Smiths songs, but it is a bit dramatic   , so I'm going with this

I this one.

and here is some angry music



It's my theme song


bad religion - get off




lascivious, it's all that i can think of as i drag my feet, searching
lika a diogenes, dangerous, the adjectives of the decade and of your
alluring intricacies,

 i can see your green-screen mentality and i can
feel the sting of its consequence, and i know i shouldn't but it's too
much to ignore, an emotion i deplore,

every time i look at you, i just
want to do it, i can clench my fist right through it but i just want
to get off,

rectilinear, this direction we've been heading never
realizing we are on a runaway machine, angular, the momentum that does
turn us one step further on our ladder, one more turn toward the east,
i realize your green-screen mentality and i know it is shared by many
more,

i know it is quite impossible but i am damned to find a way to
revolve the other way, every time i scrutinize i just say "screw it",
we're on a ride down a blind conduit and i just want to get off

I don't like Morrissey solo

I don't like Morrissey solo 

His solo stuff is certainly a bit more dramatic , but I just love everything about him. He is like my guilty pleasure 


I mention Morrissey to my punk friends and they give me this look

They do it for your own good.
