"Masked" groups and singers (metal, rock, genre, Slipknot)

mr dave · 04-04-2008, 08:14 PM

the only point i tried to make in here was that if rappers were going to be listed as a masked group because of the front they present to the camera than most other mainstream acts should be listed in the same way.

I'd certainly say Emo is just as image based as gangster rap. Emo culture has been heavily stereotyped, but sad thing is that from what I know, most of the crap that is said about emo kids ring true.

On a similar but completely irrelevant note, I'd like to ask Ethan this, is there any truth to that stereotype that emo kids only play old NES games?

Scene kids yes, emo kids don't really exist because fans of emo music tend to scoff at being called emo since it's a genre not a person.

Didn't answer my last question, do you spend every weekend sobbing and playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! or not?

Also, bad example, punk is a music genre, but punks certainly do exist.

And one of the stereotypes of emo is "not wanting" to be called emo but conforming to the stereotype of what emo is.

For your information it was Contra.

mr dave · 04-04-2008, 08:54 PM

contra would make anyone sob if they didn't use the konami code.

Konami are real hard asses. Contra III and Hard Corps didn't even have the Konami code and those games were hard as f*ck.

I'm pretty sure I recall reading about Mr. Bungle members sometimes wearing masks.
