So I'm guessing metalcore bands aren't your style either?

Stuff like, Embrace the End, Memories of Apocalypse, and Shai Hulud.

I don't mind some mathcore, but most metalcore isn't for me, no.

I'm sorry but that is the stupidest thing I have ever read. Go listen to what ever shit you listen to and leave punk alone. It is better than you, it has a guy named Jello. What do you have? A closed mind.

Funny how you follow that statement up with "It is better than you, it has a guy named Jello." I said 'generally', so yes, I'm generalizing. I do like a few punk bands, but most often I find punk to be very unexciting. I don't mean it lacks energy, I'm merely stating that numerous punk bands sound identical to me. That's my opinion on the subject. If you don't agree with it, then whatever. Snarling at me isn't going to change anything.

I'm closed-minded? That must be why I listen to many different types of metal, rock, blues, reggae, jazz, funk, experimental, even some rap, world music, and yes, punk.

If anything, you're the one being closed-minded here, as you just referred to everything I listen to as "shit".

have you ever heard copeland?!

they are so damn emo, seriously. go back and listen to downtown, it's ridicuously emo.

oh and showbread is hardcore/screamo, so i lump them in with emo, yeah there.

and just b/c it's emo music mixed in with other styles doesn't make it not emo.

emo music used to be like hardcore.

I had to do this:

correct

um, you can't make up your own style. Alternative pop/rock, punk metal, emo, post-hardcore

--It was better than calling them fashionxcore. They don't even play any of their metal songs anymore, just those annoying mall emo songs.

no, post-hardcore

--FFTL? possibly, but they really kill me with that image. Hence the pop punk labeling.

as well as alternative pop/rock and indie rock

--Saves the Day isn't on an indie label, and pop punk fits them pretty well, considering their roots are in hardcore punk.

stop making up styles. Emo, punk revival, punk-pop

--Say Anything is nowhere near emo. And powerpop is a genre.

post-hardcore and like Christian rock

--Haven't really heard much of them, but I figured they fit into the mislabeled pop punk/pop rock catagory.

and indie rock

--Bear vs Shark is on Equal Vision, not really much of an indie label.

Wow 2 right! Well done my pet. Now it's fixed.

roflmao I don't even need to argue with you; you called this thread "I Like Emo Music" ffs lol
And you think powerpop is a "genre" lololol and that you need to be on an indie label to be indie and that bands can't change labels lolol. And you think Say Anything is nothing like emo...I can't take much more of this, so this is my official response:

You are a ***.

Indie bands have to be on indie labels because indie isn't a genre of music (indie = independant, and last time I checked, all bands are independant of eachother, aside from bands that share members). Power pop is a fairly recognized genre that hit it's peak in the 70s. Say Anything has no characteristics of an emo band. There are no hardcore elements, no screaming, and very little dynamic shift.
