The irony of these statements is we gave you SEVERAL links to education threads as well as band myspaces. You didn't look at ANY of them.

lol what? people are just trying to tell you what bands ACTUALLY fit into the emo genre and you're getting yr ******* tight about it. The only person being narrowminded would be yourself. And it seems like yr pretty ignorant to the fact as well! Listen to the bands posted in the links they gave you and then listen to "jimmy eat world" or "my chemical romance". If they don't sound completely different than lordy lordy I dunno what to tell you mate.

Well...there goes another new member. :(

It's amazing how many people get run off this board for having the sheer audacity of "not knowing what emo is"

right-track 05-09-2007 11:41 AM

So it seems.
Maybe it's about time something got done about it.
It's way overdue.
There seems to be a group here that mug members the moment they put a foot in this forum and it's beginning to spread across to other forums too.

MusicBanter isn't an elite club.
These boards are for everyone.

I'm not mourning his/her loss...I think in this case the kids were right (I trust they know their shit when it comes to this particular sub-genre) , they supplied he/she/it with plenty of sources to educate him/herself (and were unusually nice about it all if I may add) which was somehow misinterpreted as elitism and rude behavior? I remember when I first came to these boards, I got flamed but did I run away crying? No, I was actually ashamed that I didn't know as much as the people who flamed me and I made damn sure that doesn't happen again. One has to be willing to accept criticism and well-meaning advice from others...those who aren't willing to do that have no business being on here...

Well I happened to think the guy had a point. This isn't the first time this has happened on these boards.
And it's the usual suspects.
Never once in my time here on MB have I ever treated anybody in this way.
I really don't see what the problem is when a new member doesn't happen to agree with the regulars point of view.
Yes, he has an opinion. Yes, he may be wrong.
Does it really take several members to take him down?

Emo is literally "music with emotion". Going by that definition, any band that isn't an emo band would have to be robots. Like Daft Punk.

Well I was under the impression that this was a place of discussion (that means more than one opinion is included), not just for expressing your point of view and then sod everyone else if they don't agree...especially when the matter seems to be fairly clear cut (like I said, I tend to side with the older members here, not only because I've grown attached to them, but because they've proven themselves to be quite knowledgeable in this area). Elitists wouldn't try to dissuade the other party with various resources, they'd just point and laugh. I really don't see what they did wrong here David. Should they have just said "you're right, emo isn't punk"?
