emos will bait your children and give them AIDS

to quote a guy on slsk years ago:

"EMO IS PARA PUTAS
EMO IS PARA PERROS
PARA PURO GAY"

Farfisa 06-12-2009 01:16 AM
Emo was a term first coined by MTV... srsly.

ChiliColdBlood 06-12-2009 09:51 AM
Haha, I'm so sick of arguments about what is or isn't "emo".

To get back on topic: Yeah, screamo is dying. Most bands who were "screamo" have broken up or progressed to do more interesting stuff. The popular bands in the "scene" seem to be metalcore bands and that weird vocoder-pop stuff crap that's getting on Warped these days.

Probably the only band I still listen to from back when I liked that style is Alexisonfire. I guess you can still call them "screamo" since there's singing and screaming involved, but they come off more as a rock band to me. Plus, their sound has evolved so much in the past few years. I love 'em.

Rubber 06-12-2009 12:36 PM
yeah I agree, basically the only good screamo bands left are alexisonfire and chiodos.

Ha. Alexisonfire sucks. And I used to be huge into them. Another one of those "first two album" bands before they started playing bigger venues and writing generic chord progression bore-tunes. I was nursing this hope that Young Cardinals would be decent but the single was sadly terrible imo. And if you daresay that Crisis was a good album I will pillage your ass with a longship.

Alfred 06-12-2009 06:51 PM
I liked Crisis, but I believe it was inferior to their first two albums.

I like what I'm hearing these days, but their music could really lose some of that studio polish I think.

How do you mean about the studio polish? I think their songwriting has just tanked. Plus the vocals have gone downhill as well. I have to admit that it may be partially that I just grew out of them. I listen to what I consider more "complex" music these days, although I still get a kick out of the first two albums once in a while.

Ughh, you are cavemans friend. No doubt about that, and don't for a second think thats a good thing. alexisonfire is a good enough group who started off with humble yet solid beginnings. I think they are one of the most forward thining groups in their genre, and for that they should be commended.

I loved their beginnings. I listened to them religiously for several years, attended a ton of shows, own both first albums and a 7" single which is signed by Dallas Green, AND I actually interviewed him for the youth newspaper I worked for in high school. They WERE one of the most down-to-earth and accessible groups in the genre, until they released an album that sucked and started playing crappy shows. You didn't read what I wrote very well.

I think I read what you wrote very well, you think their songwriting skills have gone to ****, and the vocals have gone downhill. I know how you could be disappointed by this kind of change as I have experienced it several times myself (being part of the original Indianapolis metalcore scene) bands making it big tend to lose touch of their roots very quickly. That's where you lose respect for them, but to say Crisis is an all around bad album doesn't exactly sit that well with me. I happen to like quite a few tracks from that album.

Although I do agree that they won't ever surpass their debut album in terms of originalilty and creativity.

Well then, we can civilly agree to disagree. Put it back in your pants. :yeah:

nirvana ruled, get your head out of your ass

CrAbY 06-16-2009 07:47 AM
LOL. Nirvana ruled, but after Kurt blew his **** off the guitarist formed another yet terrible band called the Foo Fighters.

amplific 06-16-2009 07:49 AM
those first two Foo Fighter cds are ALSO amazing. there's been solid songs since, but nothing as consistently awesome as the Roswell album and the Colour and the Shape

CrAbY 06-16-2009 07:51 AM
It all is rubbish. They took a good thing that happened to Nirvana and turned it into the Foo Fighters. Dude. Even the band name sucks.

amplific 06-16-2009 07:55 AM
dude...Footos? the Fresh Fighter? How could you hate!

CrAbY 06-16-2009 07:58 AM
Because it sucks.

FaSho 06-16-2009 08:11 AM
There's always debate about what bands are screamo and what bands aren't. We Fly Our Kites at Night or a screamo band right?

Dave Grohl, the drummer for Nirvana, started the Foo Fighters in which he plays guitar.

Neither of those bands are skramz.

A new term for the screamo/emo bands of the 90s, or anythign that is REAL screamo/emo. I'm not sure if the term is supposed to be taken seriously or not, but it's there. Possibly created in revolt of the ****ty 'new' emo bands and self-proclaimed 'emo' kids.
Not skramz: Emery, MCR, Saosin etc

Skramz: I Hate Myself, Hot Cross, Raein, Saetia, Orchid etc "

Daylight Dies is terrible, and Underoath wouldn't know thrash if it shoved metal up their ass, which is a reference you don't get because you have terrible, terrible taste and no respect for history.

Kurt Cobain was more creative than any band you can probably name, and since you obviously know nothing about them you haven't any basis to judge.

The Foo Fighters and U2 do suck though, so we agree on that.

amplific 06-16-2009 09:57 AM

I don't get it. To be honest, I always thought that FF were one of the better mainstream rock bands that you'd hear on the radio. Plus, they had members of SDRE, so that has to score some cred right there. Seriously, though, The Colour and the Shape I still think is a good listen. Come on, do people really think that FF are as bad as Creed or Nickelback?

i agree, foo fighters are pretty decent compared to the plethora of buttrock bands parading the radio
