Actually, I am just really annoyed with the emo scene right now. To continue...
7. Linkin Park
There are other bands I have seen that I agree with, but I seriously posted in this thread to take a shot at emo, and I don't feel like listing the rest.
I agree with most of that but what is wrong with MCR?
I'm glad I kind've don't post a lot because this would aggrivate me. Which my boyfriend posted most of this so it aggrivates me even more.
Personally, I really like My Chemical Romance. I think they are great, and when they make music videos they are awesome. One of the best bands i've even seen make music videos. The one song "Helena" that i'm sure most people heard of is about the lead singers grandmother that past away that the whole band was pretty much close to. I think the video that goes along with that song expresses it very well. Actually it is one of my ultimate favorite videos ever. Anyways, a lot of singers/bands make up songs about family members that have died or whatever. It's not a song of....my girlfriend cheated on me type thing.
There's another song called "Ghost Of You" and i'm sure totally what that is about, but there video isn't about a normal emo type of thing. It's about a WAR and not about a break up. It's a pretty good video.
Anyways, for the following band:
Taking Back Sunday- not that bad
Senses Fail- don't really like
Thrice- not sure who they are
Hawthorne Heights- heard of them but haven't listened to them
Story of the Year- pretty good!
Not all people that like that music and dress all dark act like they hate the world or however they supposedly feel. There are about at least half that you consider EMO because the music they listen to and the clothes they wear. That's retarded. My sister and her friends dress that way and listen to that kind of music all of the time, and they don't like real emo people do. There emo that is really emo and ther is emo that is not so bad at all. Don't assume all emo is the same. I've seen a lot of emo people. There was A LOT of them where I went to high school. Most of them dressed like they were emo because of the music. I think they actually have STYLE compared to people that wear American Eagle, Abercrombie, and whatever other brand of clothing out there that is made for mostly the common preppy person/person who usually very skinny(especially if you shop at Abercrombie!)
All you EMO haters...read into the people a little more that are EMO. A lot of them aren't so bad. They are normal people. Oh nooo they show FEELING! Give me a break. If I were all of you....I wouldn't care about it. Why!?! Because people that emo don't really care what other people think of them. I wouldn't. It's overrated. You look down on emo people, and when you show that they think, "what is your problem?" Why? Because music is an ART! All different genres of music are different arts of different sounds.
I know Ed will disagree with me on the last part, but no way is music not an art!It is definitely considered an art. As a singer myself that also listens to many types of music I can not express it enough. A lot of these people express their own art if you haven't noticed. Not just bands, but the people that listen to them. I appreciate that. If you met my sister and the people I have known that were EMO you'd think differently!
Sorry that it sounds so harsh, i'm not trying to be. I'm just explaining why a lot of you got it very wrong.
