wrong. emotion is emotion.

emo is a specific genre of music.

when someone says metal (in the context of music) i dont think of steel.

metaphor bud...pay attention in school you might learn something

David Frost

how is it a metaphor?

a metaphor is an implicit comparison of two terms used for dramatic effect or to support a theme or motif.

you were comparing the word emo to emotion by saying they ARE the same thing. thats no metaphor. maybe you should pay attention in school, which by my guess is nothing higher than a freshman in high school.

good job buddy.

oh man good guess but wrong, yes you are right not a metaphor, wrong choice of words, but do tell me what do you think emo stands for? sorry to cut short but big day tomorrow ill finish later

David Frost

no you wont. i hate rants, and this is going nowhere.

emo stands for nothing. it is a word. fish or rock or whistle dont stand for something longer. emo is simply a genre of music. for the past couple of years (with the high point of this being right about now), this genre has been exploited and ruined.

people have different views on music and i understand that. however, i have to say that my opinions on music might be more educated than others. not because im smarter, that isnt the case. the reason is that most people that argue with me on here actually dont know what they are talking about. they listen to my chemical romance and taking back sunday for 2 weeks and then they freak when i say something. these kids wont go listen to Indian Summer, Hoover, or I Hate Myself..
i have heard both emo and what people call emo now. i guarantee that this slightly altered mind person has know idea who these bands are.

now there are exceptions on this board, so i dont piss off everyone. people like Thrice and Riseagainstrock have developed styles in music and listen to both, i dont know how or why, but at least they have a concrete basis for their tastes in music.

my take on emo is that punk kids rebeled again and decided to make the music better.

if you have no wish to finish it ill stop, but if youd like to see where im coming from instant message me. If you want to send me a link to those bands you were talking about thatd be nice

Frost, by any chance do you like Burnman?

Urban Hat€monger ?

emo has gone mainstream now , nobody cares what emo purists think anymore , you ask anyone what those bands are & they`ll say emo. popular opinion dictates these things, if people think they are emo it`s because they are. The emo you once knew has gone , it`s been swallowed up by the masses & made radio friendly, you might not like it but thats what happens.
Know when it`s time to move on & find something new & original rather than just bring out the tired old 'I`m so emo because I was there from the start and know more obscure bands than you' arguement. If you don`t like it you can always go write a poem about it

emo sucks
theyre whiney phucks
keep your boo hoos to yourself,
spend your cash
on bands like crass
and leave emo **** on the shelf!
