What the heck is emo? (punk, rock, title, covers)

Rockafella Skank · 12-23-2003, 09:54 AM

You may be wondering thatuntil I visited http://www.fourfa.com/ and read some about emo. Here's a snippet:

Quote:

This site is intended to be a basic FAQ and primer on emo - short for "emotional." Emo is a broad title that covers a lot of different styles of emotionally-charged punk rock. This site is intended to introduce the reader to all the common styles, describe them musically, and give ideas about the essential records of all those styles.

I hope this helps some people like me.

I hate emo music, all they sing about is how they got dumped by their girlfriends, or how bad their life is.... There is no actual message behind it .....That's what I think anyway

What are some groups that have been labeled as emo?

I think they're the definition of emo.

I've heard them before and come to think of it they're all about emotions, etc. I never really liked them myself.

yeah....they are a 13 year old girls dream. They seem more popularized than blink-182 (but not yet good charlotte)

What's your favorite emo band? I like some of it, but some I'd rather have them never sing again.

Here's a thought; let's stop labeling music and fighting over what genre a certain band is, and start listening to whatever pleases our ears no matter what anyone thinks of it! ;)
