the WORST emo poseur band (title, quote)

all music is emotional. without emotion, music would be sh*t.

if you want a really really good explanation of "emo" as a genre, go to the thread labled "screamo" and read his first post there.

No it's just general ignorance and it happens everywhere and with most kinds of music. People on the internet will tend to bitch alot if you are misinformed but then continue to believe that your right. I can upload some emo to here if you want to hear some.

hahaha who cares? like alot of things its a branch off of alternative rock. i guess the kiddies wanted to throw in some good old soft rock with the "edge" of alternative bands from the early 90's. but hey its just a guess. it doesnt matter all that much you know.

I'm gonna agree to disagree here. Sorry, I'm ignorant. lol.

I cant really think of the WORST band because any band that has made it far enough to put out more then one record and still be around, I've got respect for them.

Any genre "label" is really just one person's opinion, and as such, is subject to debate. Many people may argree to one opinion, which lends credibility to the arguement, but doesn't always make it right. Personally, I have a hard time classifying bands because I can see alot of different genres within the bands I listen to. And while labels are good for helping people find new bands to listen to, they also come back to bite you in the butt (as evidenced by this thread). At the end of the day does it really matter if a band fits into the "Emo" (or the real emo catagory)? I would say no. If you like the music listen to it. If you listen or don't listen to a band based upon its supposed genre, that is very shallow. Like a band for their music, not for their label or genre.

i agree. also i kind of think its funny that if a band classfies themselves as emo that someone else can come along and be like "youre not emo!" haha i think thats hilarious.

BUT if I was going to pick the worst 'emo poseur band' (which I thought this was gonna be) Id pick My Chemical Romance. I actually have nothing against them, I enjoy listening to them, but they're really not emo.

aww i love fall out boy! now im sad.
