^oh yes, since he know EVERYTHING about emo. almost, coming from the person who thought the used was emo, and tbs was screamo. huh.. and he knows everything?

I was being sarcastic lol.
Cuz yeah TBS is ReaL screamo for 'hardcore' people.

yes. i too was being sarcastic. there needs to be a sarcastic emoticon.

I`ve already explain TWICE that I have just as much right here as anybody else. Don`t make it out that I just come here to slag off emo bands because that is just not true.I use all the forums on this board and I will continue to do so , you don`t need to like something to have an opinion on it.And as I have said twice already you don`t need to be a fan of emo bands to talk about the culture of emo ... got it now.

As i`ve said before , i think emo is more snobby & elitist than any other genre & you just proved me right.You complain that nobody listens to 'real' emo & when they do you just gloss over that & pick up on him mislabelling a band in the wrong genre to show just how much more emo you are.
I`ve recently just got into soul & funk , I`m not going to pretend that I know everything about those genres , yet i`ve never encountered as much hostility from fans of it as much as 'real' emo fans seem to delight in giving to new emo fans , calling them bandwagon jumpers & posers because they listen to the 'wrong' bands.

As I said before , this is my opinion of the emo scene looking from the outside.You can either take that on board , or you just you can just do one of your WAHH WAAHH WAAHHH WHY ARE YOU POSTING IN THIS FORUM WHEN ALL YOU DO IS FLAME type posts

It`s up to you.

god dammit, forgot about this thread for a little while. lucky me. i still find it humorous how certain people (ie me, urban and all_night_dinnah) are getting criticized for being negative in a thread titled "hate in the emo community"

You know i`ve posted 3 times here now saying why i`m commenting here & i`ve not been negative once yet so far all of my points have been ignored & all you hear is the 'stop posting here because you hate emo'

tell me about it, ive been told to leave for commenting on the negativity of the thread. thats logic for you.

You said "when they do", which implies that they listen to real emo. However, you have made clear that you do not know much about the emo scene. How can you assume I just "gloss over [them]" when you have a vague sense of emo bands?

Urban, I'm not trying to show that I'm "so much more emo" than you or anyone on this forum. I'm simply saying that Taking Back Sunday is not screamo, and if Punkrock wants to flame the emo forum then he better understand what he's talking about. Don't you agree that its pointless start arguments on things you know nothing about? Would you like me to go to the indie forum and say how the Back Street Boys exemplify the lack of talent in indie music? Would you like me to say that 50 cent is too violent in the classic rock genre?

It`s up to you.

I was using what i`ve seen 'real emo fans' have said in these forums. There are hundreds of posts from 'real emo fans' saying things like 'Ohhh bright eyes & Dashboard are not emo you should listen to real emo like Rites Or Spring'.

Well , he said he did. But you ignore that.


I don`t really know what 'screamo' is & don`t particually care either. I think you`ve missed the point of what I was saying.All there seems to be in the emo forum are people obsessed with classifying bands into sub genres & sub sub genres & heaven help anyone who gets one wrong.

I understand your point, and the constant clarification of genres does get annoying to the people outside the emo forum. However, when punkrock tried to flame emo bands, he was talking about bands that had nothing to do with emo. This is a forum where everyone is entitled to their opinions, but when one argues , it is essential that he/she knows what the argument is on.
