Actually, I used to be a big emo-hater too. But not only did I discover that TRUE emo people are cool (and dont want to cut themselves) but actual TRUE emo music is also good. My Chemical Romance, is NOT EMO music. As Lindy said, it is pop alt. rock or whatever.
But all music is emotional.Originally Posted by Lindy
No, well, in seriousness; mostly I agree with you entirely on this, the vast majority is vapid and jejune. Sometimes though you get good tracks or even good artists (Funeral for a Friend, for example.). At any rate, my point is that a few of us crotcherty old folks who know the truth simply can't override the prevailing ideas of what things are, especially when in something as ambiguous as this, where there really only is popular opinion of how things should be defined.
I'm sure we'd all be a LOT happier about that if it was decided by people who knew something about the genres they're talking about, of course.
I think we need to stick a bunch of guys in an old car and have them beat on pots and pans with wooden spoons for a few hours. Record that and abolish every other form of music known to man, and kill anyone who says they don't like "New Age" pot and pan banging. Problem solved.
Oh, and I hate emo music too.
So let me get this straight...singing about what you're feeling is.........wrong and sucky and gay? Gotcha.
I like Kung-Fu.
Well when what you're feeling is the pain from the loss of a (girl)friend for
three straight albums then that's true.

That's another thing I forgot to mention in either of my posts. What's with all the sub-genres? Add a certain chord to a song and all of a sudden it's not rock--it's some creature called "punk-alt-goth rock!" Why must people label everything?
O.o

an explanation of emo. emo was a splinter of punk. it was more focused on melody and had more emotional lyrics which weren't just based on angst.
at one time jimmy eat world were emo. and they represented what emo was. then jimmy changed. they got all pop. but they were still called emo. and soon all bands that sounded like jimmy were called emo. even though they sounded what jimmy now play compared to what was emo.
so it all became skewed.
That does it! I am starting a new style! I am going to combine general hardish rock with a dash of country and punk! It will be called Crock Runk!
I'll help.
I once had a friend who turned EMO and when his parent found out he added that he was gay to avoid embarressment.

There's this one emo song on the radio now that I can't stand. It's called Ohio is for Lovers. WORST SONG EVER.
"So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die.
Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone."
OMG STFU
