Thrice

This is for IndieRiot...His standards of Emo differ from mine so I thought I would post my opinions about emo and let you all post yours.

I believe that Emo Music has different styles...There is the kind like Dashboard Confessional and Simple Plan...this I consider pure Emo...in which they do sing about their girlfriends dumping them and such. I also feel there is a more punk influenced Emo, such as Thrusday, Ataris, and From Autumn to Ashes. Which has similar topics, but doesn't have the whiney style...

I feel Punk Rock is more ragged sounding. It has less done to it...sounds the same in concert. Most punk rock is not about the same topics as emo, but more about politics, rebellion, and absolutely nothing. I dont feel Blink or good Charlotte are punk rock.

Let me know what you all think.
