Read it, and it will explain everything for you.

"For the most part, however, emo is now a sad and frail representation of what it once was. Today it has degenerated into a vile and vapid scene of vacuous individuals, more worried about the tightness of overpriced 'punk rock' t-shirts than it is about musical innovation and new forms of expression. When music becomes fashion (see 'emo' articles in various U.S. teen-girl magazines), music has lost its worth and power. More than that, critics are to blame for going into emo overdrive. Any song with an affecting use of octave chords was emo and any band on an indie label (like Vagrant, or Emotaph as Buddyhead call it) with cute boys singing about cute girls was emo. It's almost laughable."

"Emo was exciting once, but now it's a rotting corpse. The swarm of corporate major-label vultures have come to pick at the bones and for the new bands it's as easy as following the formula for punk-pop emo. In the words of Refused, it's time for new noise."

No im saying that people in here are always saying "oh this band sucks, that band sucks." Its stupid. why dont we say "Hey, man. I like that band over there." and then someone else says "Yeah, they're pretty cool. I like that one song." and then someone else says "What's your favorite cd?" Just pleasant things. Its stupid to come in here and deal with hating this band and hating that scene, and hating things.

xcollapseofmyheartx · 04-03-2005, 08:37 PM

.angie. · 04-03-2005, 08:42 PM

never in my entire life have i heard of them. haha. you should check out some thursday.. hey i sent you a pm by the way

.angie. · 04-03-2005, 09:09 PM

i dont think thats what he ment, i think he ment: everyone sits and complains about it and he doesnt complain about all the other genres.. but im not too sure, i dont think he is telling you to not have an opinion.

xcollapseofmyheartx · 04-03-2005, 09:25 PM

When did i ever say that people weren't entitled to their own opinions. People are being far too hostile towards something that doesn't hurt them and its stupid that they come in here and get pissed on our account.

Yeah I agree with what's being said about how much hostility and elitism there is here in the emo community. Now, fair enough; people should have their opinions, definately... but that doesn't entail ragging on someone's musical tastes or in some cases, the person him/herself just because he or she likes a band you don't. Disagreements are fine and expected, but when comments go too far and get personal, that's not cool. And on that note... try hugs not drugs (nor insults!)
