Is Linkin Park Emo?

[Gullick]

This may have been asked before here...maybe even by me but i forgot so here it is again. Linkin Park are bringing out a new album in early May (minutes to midnight), hearing about that ive been thinking it over again. Is Linkin Park emo?
To me, they seem to be right on the edge. They have some emo lyrics but they dont say them just to be emo, you can actuallly relate to quite a few things in thier songs.
So anyways, point of this thread: are Linkin Park emo?

THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

In other words, yes.

[Hazzard]

No, he's just emotional.

[Ryth]

The whiny, annoying lyrics are terrible enough to make them incredibly emo, despite the fact they resemble a nu-metal group in style. I'm voting no though, when it comes right down to it, they aren't emo.

I have to agree with Sir Jebus here...it seems that a large part of the Linkin Park lyrics turn around...inner feelings of fear,anger,and so on...

Still i enjoy some of their music.

[Zeldy]

yes.

[Roto13]

God yes.

[Goldenboko]

No, listen to songs other then Crawling, Crawling is the only true emo song they have.

I've becooooooome so nuuuuuuuuuuuuumb

I wouldn't say one step closer is really 'emo', in the 'pussy-boy rock' sense, it has emotion, but that emotion is anger.

But yes, Linkin Park is pretty much pussy-boy rock, it was the bomb s when I was 17 though.

Thats about snapping though, and agression is very anti-emo.

Is Loony BoB obsessed with statistics?

[ReloadPsi]

I always kinda got the impression they pre-dated the emo fad. Most of their songs bring out violent thoughts in me though, not sad ones. I love them all the same.

[TyphoonThaReapa]

They emo. They don't suck, but they emo...

[oddler]

You are all emo.
