How old are you and what do you listen to
 

Well as we know many people listen to pop when they're young, and I was thinking that this may also apply to the many bands characterized as emo. So in this thread I would like you to state your age and three bands that fit your interests in emo.

I'm 17 and I listen to bands like Saetia, Sleepytime Trio, and Converge (not really emo but w/e)

Do we post our favorites, or three bands they best suite our entire liking?
I like bands like from Thrice, Funeral for a friend, A static lullaby..to...bands like fugazi and rites of spring, circle takes the square...to...dave matthews band, im so confused, and so tired my eyes went all chinesey.

Im 15, im heavily into Thrice, Funeral for a Friend and the ataris, well emo-wise i am anyway.

Three bands that you think are emo and suit your taste.

Oh yeah and no band bashing please

24 years old

The Blood Brothers, d.b.s, Braid

Those 3 bands best cover the range that I listen to. Zeal, you made it tough only choosing three. :D

A few months shy of 19, I listen to a bunch of stuff.....uh...3 bands that fit my emo side.....Sunny Day Real Estate, Dashboard Confessional, Rainer Maria...and anything extending along those type lines... 3 bands that fit in my overall liking....I would have to say Strike Anywhere, Social Distortion, and The Anniversary..and extending bands...

20 and I like Porphyria Plan cause he/she likes the Blood Brothers. :thumb:

Have you seen them live?

Of course Hookers of course. Words can't descirbe how great that show was. Not to mention it was when I was dating my soon-to-be wife and she loved them also. I love her. :love: lol

I was very confused the first time I read your post. I'm kinda slow at this time of day.

yeah well . . .
I'm 15 and in a few months (8 to be exact) I will be 16. And come Spetember 18 2011 I will have a huge birthdya party to celebrate my 21st birthday and iwll enjoy it at a very very cool club where I will either get drunk or just drink a couple of caronas and paint a town any town red.

At any rate to get back on topic, the 3 bands that show my musical interests emo wise would be injected, alien ant farm, and (why do we have to only choose 3) Apex Theory.
I hope those bands are considered emo.
Darn this was hard.
if you let us choose four bands my fourth choice would have been Weezer.

Peace out.

holy crap raine posted! I thought you had died.

Hey, the Blood Brothers are from Texas right?

But yeah they came to my town last year and I was extremely pissed cause I didn't have any cash to go see them, but they came with the Boxcutters (who I think is also from texas) and those are the guys everyone was talkin about the next day. You like those guys too? Man, I'm so pissed.

im 15, and i listen to my chemical romance, dead poetic, the used, taking back sunday, brand new, funeral for a friend, modest mouse, thrice, finch, the starting line, blink 182, green day, franz ferdinand, the stills, postal service, fall out boy, kill hannah, new found glory(the old stuff.. the new stuff is crappier than the first), northstar, sum 41, and a bunch more i just cant remember

oh and, get up kids, death cab for cutie, from autumn to ashes, jimmy eat world, promise ring, saves the day, the cure, and still a few more.

13 (shock,shock) Misfits,Casualties,crass,germs

im 17 and i dont really listen to emo- im more into rock. But 3 bands i dont mind are the Thrice, the used and JEW

Has anyone noticed the trend yet?

No way!! Wow, that really was surprising. Im only 15 though.. And yeah Zealious there might be a bit of a trend. What do ya expect though, its in the emo forum I spose.

14 ..... nirvana ,tool, system of a down ...some m.s.i, red hot chili peppers, marilyn manson,used

Does that mean you can only listen to a certain type of music if you are of a certain age?

When did anyone say that :confused:

I thought the trend was that it was all teenagers that like emo on this forum

I dont.. But hey, I dont know about trends, im always out of the loop. And even if it was, its probably cause its the emo forum. But once again, I dont know.

Hey, I just joined, I'm 19 and I'm into a lot of stuff, but can't be assed telling you all...it would takes ages.

15, the mars volta, cursive, mineral

So far: as the ages are lower the bands that they post are more pop oriented.

18

Rise Against (RPM), Thursday, No Use For A Name... I guess.

usually, yes, but in this thread not neccesarily, check out CrazyBeautiful, she's only 14 and she's into SOAD...
i'm 15 and i like Nirvana, RHCP, SOAD, Thrice, Korn etc + some old stuff like bob dylan...that kind o' stuff

we have a 15 year old liking mars volta (amazing band) and cursive..i wouldnt call either of them pop.

rise against
 

[B]Rise against playing in toronto, anyone know anything about it? 16, hawthorne hieghts,silverstien,rise against,(old) jimmy eat world. Tons of other stuff too and i dont understand why everyone has such a problem with people who listen to more than one type of music.

I'm 21 in a few days and I like all kinds of punk, ska, hardcore and emo.

17 Underoath Thursday Eighteen Visions .. at the moment

15...Explosions in the sky, braid, Thursday, mineral, thrice, sigur ros, owls, fairweather, pretty girls make graves......I could go on.

that's awesome that u like owls. I have their CD if you want it.

Oh wow.
No I didn't die.
I've just been busy. Spaeaking of which I should be working on that blasted story right now. My sponsor is nice but by next week I need to have more written. Especially since the deadline for entries is march something.

At anyr ate I've got a few more badns to list

Mindless Self Indulgence because Lyn Z is an inspirational bassist. And the drummer isn't half bad.
And I am loooking forward to the new Marsvolta CD because I already have two of those and I heard their song "The Widow" on the other day and if i wait any longer for their new CD I will kill somebody. My favorite song by them is "Son Et Lumiere"
And I'm only adding them to my list because I looking at the post of mine and I just thought of them.

And my number three for this post will not be Jimmy Eat World although that's all that's coming to my mind right now in terms of emo. And I refuse to say Blink 182 and the person who says The White Stripes is being added to my ignore list. And that says a lot since i have never had anyone on any of my ignore lists at any site or forum.
So I think for my number three choice I will be the Epoxies since I'm listening to them as part of a homework assignment.
Although for what it's worth I've definitely heard better than the Epoxies. but it's better than The Distillers any day.

Peace out.

I r 13 yearz old and i listen to hXc emo trackz LOL

18. Norma Jean, With Honor, As I Lay Dying

And I see the trend...kinda, most everybody is fairly young. The older you get the more independant people are, and less they have peers judge each other on dumb things (music choices, etc)

I've had the Frances the Mute CD for over a month now. Do you want me to send it to you?

Hmmm....I don't know about him/her, but I'd love you to send it to me. Even though I have it preordered and am gonna buy it anyway, I'd love the sneak peek.

im 15, and i listen to system of a down, muse, nirvana, velvet rovolver, and other what not.

I'm indeed 15, this year turning 16, and listening to more classic rock than anything else, but I do love bands like Broken Social Scene, Metric, whatever....not really emo, but pfffffffffft....
