who are your favourite emo bands?

Okay, so I'm finally doing this.

Hey there. My name is Kyle, and I'm 18 years old. I reside in Omaha, Nebraska (put your finger in middle of a U.S. map, and there I am). I've been listening to emo/screamo bands for 3 years or so. I've been listening to Punk Rock since 3rd grade when I was introduced to Pailhead, Black Flag, and Suicidal Tendencies (thanks Skateboarding videos!). I've been playing drums for nearly 3 years now. I'm currently not in a band, and wish to someday start some screamo band here, but doubt it'll happen, hah. I'll give anything a listen but I'm mostly fond of screamo, emo, indietronic pop, conscious rap, melodic death metal, and a lot of other small various things (plenty of classical on occasions). I'm huge into politics and social issues as well.

I don't have a clue what I'll be doing after High school. I mean, I want to go do college, but I'm almost out of motivation and am just too tired. Music has always been a major part of my life, but as for holding down a "steady job" I'm interested in Political Science, and am probably going to at least get a degree in History.

i just recently got an album by the academy is... and i love em. they get better each time.

I'm Sarah Wesley, it's a double first name which confuses a lot of people. Like Catie I am from North Carolina and joined a little less than a year ago. If music taste were college majors i'd major in Math rock with a minor in post-rock. This site has helped me broaden my interest in jazz a bit. I also play the viola and violin, but I have stemmed off playing them as much recently. I try to be open to most music and according to last.fm I am pretty open.

Oh, and my 18th birthday is tomorrow, so yea.

these bands are NOT EMO.

Check it...

Anyone can set their genre on myspace, it only shows that the bands themselves are ignorant.

well...those bands are emo easily though, you have to agree. and he asked me what my favorite emo bands were. he didnt ask me what my favorite "only emo" bands were. so i gave him a list that concieved of some emo vibe to it.

Don't you tell me those bull**** bands are emo - you have no idea what you are talking about. Read the education thread and **** off.

EDIT: No, you do not "have to agree". Listen to some real emo and you will realise how wrong you are.

how bout i not and just forget you ever said anything and we just move on with our lives instead of arguing over something as stupid as this over the internet.
