Punk will never and it can never be about breaking up with girls or sad stuff. See guys what happend is that some bands somewhere in 1983 tried to bring emotional songs through punk and thats what we call Emo. Emo is everything against punk because punk is anger and emo is sadness. SO yes " EMO IS NOT PUNK NO MATTER WHO THE **** TOLD YOU THIS, WHO EVER TOLD YOUT HIS GO BEAT THEIR ASSES WITH A STICK. PUNK IS ****ING ANGER AND VOLUME AND GET THAT STRAIGHT.

I beleive that is what Death Metal is for.

I know, I was reffering to the post you quoted, not you. He treated it like all punk had to be angry and last time I checked Blitzkrieg Bop wasn't some anger driven song. Same with the Queers, Misfits, and alot of other classic punk bands.

I see, and I agree. That is a good point.

Uhmm.. a question:

so the only important thing in a emo band is its songs letters and the sound? Or when you define an emo band you must consider another thing such as their look, their actitude, their lifestyle, etcetera?

REMEMBER: ITS ONLY A QUESTION!

Yep, fashion has nothing to do with the actual genre of the band. Its all down to sound.

Anyone else kind of find it funny in the sub-genre part it has "emocore" which is a shorten version of saying emo hardcore, and they also have hardcore emo?
