I didn't realize I had a type??

And sadly no, I think Lifetime eats major cock

bardonodude

grindcore for the win as the best subgenre of punk =). I would have to say that or screamo. My two favorite genres.

can_i_say

All I can say is the obvious; opinions vary. I love Dischord/DC style emo, some of the modern stuff is good, but I can take or leave a lot of it.

Grindcore is awful.

Lifetime were awesome.

Most subgenres of punk I like, but I don't really like the first wave of punk itself - I don't like the Sex Pistols, and I could live without The Clash and The Ramones and The Damned, etc. I respect these bands, but to me much better things came afterwards - American hardcore, emo (not so much screamo) and most importantly to me, post-punk.

I don't hear many punk bands today only playing 3 chords or still talking about the spirt of 77. There are a lot of great indie/punk bands out today like Black Lips, Be Your Own Pet, Cursive (they're not Emo like many assume), Pretty Girls Make Graves, etc. etc. I haven't really heard many experimental "Emo" bands, but when I say Emo I'm referring to new-age Emo bands like Fall Out Boy and MCR.

Are you referring to older Emo or the more recent Emo bands like the ones mentioned above? Because if you're referring to stuff like Cursive or Fugazi or similiar bands, calling them Emo would be naive because musicians have been dealing with emotions and introspective lyrics as long as music has been around. So I think even the term Emo when used to describe bands like The Good Life or Cursive or whoever should be destroyed as well. Because once again, I'm referring to the new-age Emo bands that are really just pop masquerading as punk or something else.

There is no such thing as this "new-age" emo, genre standards don't change and i'm not referring to stuff like Fugazi and Cursive I don't consider them emo. Introspective lyrics and emotions doesn't = emo.

We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.

The Dave

Just because the lyrics have 'emotion' in them, does not make the band emo; never has, never will. ****, Bob Dylan had more emotion than MCR and all these piss-core bands, so is he Emo?

Take your foolishness elsewhere.

grindcore is so much better than emo though dude
