Emo is the best punk music
 

Emo stands as the best punk music subgenre of today by a walk.

Discuss.

I'm going to go out a on a limb here and say you probably don't know what emo is.

problliy punk for that matter

thanks now we have had our daily dose of stupid. i think you need to look up both of them

It is certainly the most fashionable.....................and elitist ;)

I don't think you're technically allowed to like new-age Emo if you're over the age of 14 and not a dork. But hey, maybe I'm just stereotyping here.

They should just change emo-core to elitism-core :).

I'd much rather listen to an experimental emo band than a bunch of idiots playing the same 3 chords and boring everybody about 'the spirit of 77'

Emo is way more intense and better then punk.

Sorry, I just can't see it.

I honestly mean no disrespect, It just doesn't do anything for me

^you don't even like Lifetime? I mean you just seem as the type that would like Lifetime is all really.

I didn't realize I had a type??

And sadly no, I think Lifetime eats major cock

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

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.

cursives good but def not emo
fugazi is hardly emo either

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

Grind is one of the most mundane genres ever.

why is that?

Because there are so many bands that sound just a like who all have songs that sound exactly the same and it gets boring really quick. There probably about five grind bands that I actually like. Fused with other genres turns out pretty cool but there's too much of it that lacks an original thought.

napalm death, repulsion, unholy grave, agathocles, enemy soil? All awesome.

As for emo, wouldnt say it was the best style of punk, but reversal of man and jeromes dream are 2 of my favourite bands.

Napalm Death is boring as hell.

Hah, granted punk plays a lot of similar chords, but I don't hear much about the spirit of '77, not from musicians anyway.

Bad Religion > Bright Eyes anyday.

EDIT: They were the first band that came to mind that I thought was labeled emo. Whatever.

Why are you talking about Bright Eyes?

Bright Eyes isn't emo and hes managed to shake the emo label too and comparing bands from two different genres is hard, shh malcolm.

...im sorry

^ what the hell does you mean by that

who the **** is that?

edit nvm its andy

what the hell does you mean by that < Seriously?

lol no way. Bright eyes only did one really good cd and still blows anything BR ever did away.

Letting Off the Happiness and Fevers and Mirrors do crush Bad Religion's discography pretty hard.

I'm not a huge fan of them, but even so, Bad Religion destroy Bright Eyes.

lmao

Emo and hardcore put other punk genres to shame without even trying.

Does the title mean I should tag Simple Plan emo on last.fm??

:confused: :confused:

That was uncalled for.
