Wait. You're jsut getting into emo and already you've been listening to stuff like Fugazi?
You work pretty fast. I can tell.
At any rate I'm not totally for whatever one else who has posted said. In lamen's turns I kinda disagree with just about everything that most people said. To an extent anyways.
No offense to most people on this forum, but a lot of people here have been brainwashd with arguing with each other about this person's opinion and crazy stupid stuff like that amongst other things.
In any case, most people will be over generalized when it comes to this topic and say that only stuff like Jimmy Eat World, Blink 182, and yellow Card are real emo. When in actuality bands like Yellow Card consider themselves to be punk.
And then there are people who say stuff that it's all emo even if it's punk, or whatever.
And there are people like me who say that emo is a turn given to bands by people who don't think their music is '***' because it's not as hard core as something as Octane
In which case I say guys who use the word emo to describe bands like Yellow Card are homophobic jerks who should be castrated. And if you're female then may you be castrated as well. And you know why? Because I said so.
And because I think people who listen to stuff like Yellow Card are groovy because I like Yellow Card. so there.
And yes I said 'groovy.' Although I'm not sure if I used it in the right context, but i sure as heck hope I did.
And I feel as though I didn't accurately answer your question. So I will add that if: if you want to hear real emo buy a CD by Metallica. Or just listen to their song "Sand man". that's emo for ya.
Nutter butters to ya
Peace out.
