Do you like Emo?
 

Well, do you?

yea i like emo im not some emo kid but some of the music is pretty good...Rufio has some sick ass gutair...u should check it out

Definently...Rufio is pretty awesome...Youre right their guitar in cool too, but in alot of their songs they sound like that whiny emo stuff.

I don't like emo ...so go cry about it haha.. Just kidding, really I don't like it though.

Lol...Emo kids...

Not really, a bit

yes.. definitly

Yeah, I like emo. Haven't actually been listening to it for too long though. In fact I didn't really know what it was until probably a few months ago, but a friend of mine started sending me some music, and now I love it. :)

dude i live for emo
the ataris
taking back sunday
rufio
thrice
vendetta red
fall out boy
EMO ROCKS!!

i dont know if thrice is too emo they are a little but not a ton...and im not an emo kid but the music is pretty cool...except for the real emo bands like dashboard confessional

man i don't understand why so many people consider the ataris to be emo?!
maybe the lyrics are typical of emo, but i consider the music to be very punk rock... so i wouldn't call it emo at all. and the same thing with thrice. don't understand it wrong! i love thrice, actually i'm going to see them in about three weeks here in germay (munich). but i just wouldn't call it emo, because the music isn't the typical sad music... well, whatever, just wanted to get that off my heart.

Yeah, I agree with you rme... The Ataris and Rufio are definately more Pop Punk than Emo... (Which is not to say that they're not super bands).

i think that the ataris are definately emo along with rufio...but thrice isnt

yeah ur rite- thrice isnt- but dude, the ataris and rufio def are...but yeah, thrice is a little heavy to be considered emo

Man, Emo was originally all about being heavy. Sheesh. Don't lose touch with your roots.

u misunderstood- heavy as in the style not lyrics...and dude- emo was never heavy in the sense of rock style

BTW- unrelated to anything- how do u start a thread- or can i at all?

There's a start-a-thread button on the top left side.

And you need to do some research into the origins of your genre - Emo was quite heavy (both lyrically and musically) in its first incarnation, it was a direct descendent of the first hardcore bands in the 1980s DC scene. There's been some discussion of those earlier bands in other threads in the Emo forum, you should check it out.

how heavy are we talking about- like metal heavy or like hardcore punk heavy...b/c im talking like metal type...my point is... emo was never that heavy and in emo's current state, thrice is heavier than what is considered to be emo...

Here are some bands:
Rites of Spring (the band that created the genre)
Saetia
Frail
Indian Summer
Antioch Arrow

And here is a nice outline of the genre's history: http://www.imsoemo.com/styles.htm

thank you abakubub, someone who actually knows what they are tlaking about!

i'm gunna come off sounding like an emo kid but **** it......i love emo and most of the cross breading like screamo and **** like that.....

ok there
Thrice
EMOderator

we see how it is.

that earlier post left out Fugazi as one of the starters of emo tssk tssk Hey im emo and proud to be labeled as emo its nothing to be ashamed of and as far as the thrice thing goes emo is a lot about the music but lyrics too and I think especially " In years to Come" is an emo song I mean its dark emo but still
"I wanna take the bullet the one aimed straight for your heart"
"I wanna climb barb wire fences and warm our hands in blood"

not a big fan... I find a lot of emo music takes itself too seriously (also emo kids)

Oh do you? you see that I am not an EMO kid, but I would consider myself having extensive knowledge on the topuc os Emotional music?

thought so.

why would anyone in this whole forum not like emo? It is the emo forum after all ..... ??????????????????????????

...I go into the country forum and i dont particularly like country...same with elec, and rap forums too

I find pretty much all of it to be generic guitar rock to be honest

I love emo its one of my fav generas

i like emo.


i dont like watered down pop-rock with ****ty lyrics and eye shadow, black hair, and girl pants.

^hehe thats funny even thought its aimed at MCR hehehehe its still funny^

o love reall emo that's all i have to say reall emo =)

cant say i do, but then i dont listen to it so my opionions a tad fawlty

ok, can somebody name some "real" emo bands, but some famous ones, that most probably i've heard of, but didn't know they're emo...?
pretty please.. :rolleyes:

emo is not my favable, but it does have the better bands...yes from me

I love Emo. Emokids rule. heh.

You don't listen to emo, you listen to pop. Get your facts straight

Yeah thats right! You dont know anything unless you listen to "real emo" and theres only a select few that do, so you might as well give up on life.

You don't have to listen to "real emo", I just don't appreciate it when people that listen to dashboard confessional and MCR say they love emo even though they probably don't have a clue what they are listening to. Like I really don't care what people listen to but at least actually know what you're talking about. BTW, I recently bought A New Found Glory's Catalyst CD, and its pretty good for pop; however, I acknowledge that they are only pop and by liking their music I do not love the whole punk genre of music.
