The Emo Education Thread (lyrics, alternative, country, hardcore, house)

Yeah I know you did alot of work for it etc but I just felt that Ethan was over critisizing the work that poster did on the ska eduction thread and telling him or someone else to rewrite the whole thing.

Well written and I'm happy you included those links. I'll have to do something along those lines for the Metal Education Thread version 2.

I was a bit harsh with him, and tis mainly the sub-genres part that needs fixed/removed..

As this is an emo education thread I have a question.

When someone suggests a band is emo that you don`t like , the most common reply seems to be 'they`re not real emo'

If thats the case does that mean that there`s no such thing as a bad 'real' emo band , or are you just in denial people think something you hate is classed as your favourite genre?

Oh and I`d like some examples of some bad 'real' emo bands so I know to avoid them if it`s not too much trouble.

People say it's not "real emo" because it isn't hardcore and that's what emo is, a more expressive form of hardcore. That's what I assume anyway. Moss Icon are pretty boring, same with alot of the 90s bands like Orchid and Heroin.

I don't think emo-core and screamo should be merged, this is an education thread not a quick run through and while the difference is about as big as one between metal and heavy metal. Its still there and people should know about it. Another thing if you're not going to post anything that will actually change my mind then you're wasting you're time because this is my opinion though, and you're welcome to disagree and you're entitled to your own opinion, and thanks for the imput either way.

I have a question:

Is early Jimmy Eat World (i.e. Clarity) considered emo?

**sleepy jack** · 03-08-2006, 06:11 PM

I've heard a few of the songs. I'd have to hear more but judging from what i've heard it would fit in with the whole sunny day side of emo.

I bet you'd like some emo bands if you gave them a chance.

You're not very original either.

At all.

I had a real different idea about emo. Good to have read this. Now I can go and outsmart the ignorant on my town-forum. (Yes, we have one. ><)
