Um. The music...uhhhhh like why isn't dashboard emo? If there lyrics are emotional etc! Woah...I simply wanted to ask what emo music was and I got some twats commenting as if it's some kind of trend...is this not a music chat room? I just want to know why some of you disagree when other people say other music is emo??? it's stupid to say it's just emotional punk and then say it's gott other aspects...like the beat etc...and where's the point between pop punk and emo then?

first off emo does not have to be soft if it wasn’t for hardcore music we wouldn’t have “emo” now if you didn’t know that I don’t even know why you bothered posting on this thread
emo it self can be broke down it to several deferent categories emocore hardcore emo post-emo rock ect… for me to explain emo would take me pages so you can research that your self but to better explain emo I wouldn’t use the word emotional I would the word (passion)

oh god...You people don't even bloody know do you? It's all about being right etc...Lol Swing kids...Why don't you tell me how you define emo music?!!!!!!!! Your an idiot...Did I even ask what there hair was supposed to be like? Or the clothes they wear? Hmmmmm!!!!! You're all so pathetic if you're in a music forum talk about music...in an emo forum talk about emo...Talk about Fu*king music...not "hair" Jeez if I wanted to do that I wouldn't have come in here...I just merely thought you guys may have different views on what emo is but no istead I get told to stop talking...If you guys can't recognise that I wasn't asking what an emo should "look like" but what you thought defined "emo MUSIC" , phew...This forum is rubbish I thought I could come on here and talk about music instead I get attacked for asking a SIMPLE question which was on my mind...
