I must say im very happy about some ppl in this post who know more about meo than others, Good charlotte and simple plan shouldnt have even be mentioned anywhere near emo topics.
thnk you, u know who u are

Plus im surprised, i havnt looked through the topics much but i havnt saw anyone mention Glassjaw or finch. as many other bands i cant be bothered mentioning coz its in another new post.

I've always tried to describe emo in the shortest way.
Emo- a emotional punk band who sing with unique mostly poetic emotional lyrics about strong emotions, plus not jus singin but putting emotion into there voice. examples : Thursday and taking back sunday

Screamo- the same only they will tend to sing more dark, heavier songs with more top of lung screaming, very emotional
examples: Finch, glassjaw, my chemical romance

Hope im right, Pls tell me i just explained emo and screamo in a short detail.
cause im also hating all this " whats emo " " wtf is emo" i see on the net,
cheers!!

oh my god, how can you people listen to pre-pubescent boys screaming about their lost loves(emo)? They have no talent and just use simple power chords. I don't know how you can listen to them it hurts my ears!

turn the caps off you idiot, yellow card sucks, they have a violinist in their band, cmon. Pre-pubescent boys screaming about their lost love, it hurts my ears. The only good music wasn't created recently


If you havent heard of Led Zeppelin, go kill yourself, do us all a favor

Im going to agree

Emo is just a word. That's all it is. It is a word that is so overused and in so many ridiculous contexts that it makes me want to headbutt my keyboard.

It seems to be a word used by people who enjoy doing nothing more than categorizing every band to have ever existed and pigeon hole them into outdated and unimportant genres.

I agree, it is similar to the word goth, but generally music that is labeled emo sucks.

im not a fan of present day emo really. theres a few bands that are fairly awsome, but in the main, im not a fan, things like dashboard and yellowcard. make me shudder. finch, glassjaw and the like have a similar effect. the word is thrown around but get over it. its jiust a word that people use as a basis of opinion. theres been about ten million threads on this allready as well, so why cant people just refer to them?
someone said earlier that the ataris have deep and meaningful lyrics. i found that hilarious. the singers, what like 40 now? he has a wife and a kid for fck sake. most of the bands married arent they? yet they still write about getting dumped, how awsome their last girlfriend was, how they miss her and still love her and all that ****. so i found that post most humorous

Depends really. I've heard bands like Hundred Reasons, Far, Glassjaw, Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, Funeral for a Friend, Reuben and even Fugazi labelled as emo, and they're all pretty damn good. Emo was blatantly made up by a lazy journalist man years ago, and obviously it just stuck.

lol, wow.. i am sick and tired of going to different threads when they talk about what is emo.. and all that stuff.. okay there's always gonna be different opinions on what it is... if you like it u like it.. if you don't you don't... i personally am a huge fan of different bands.. and they are emo.. but still i'm not gonna go to a ska thread and talk about how much i don't like it. seriously just get over it.. stop complaining it's driving me crazy!!
