Yeah, I defintnely read that book too but how do you know thats emo? Just b/c it is in a book? How is TBS and Saves the day not emo? IMO more people refer to the latter bands as emo.

book? and i never said something wasn't emo. i said thursday was. Post-hardcore and emo are the same thing. there are different genres within this movement, but they are all emo. like all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, but somehow you managed to learn about squares before rectangles, so until you really started to think about it you thought squares and rectangles were two different things.

ish

definately emo!!!

Well just because something is Post-Hardcore it doesnt mean it MUST be Emo.. I'm sure there are other sub-genres and offshoots of Hardcore that exist.

The Ian Mackaye/Minor Threat to Fugazi transition was typical for that time but it certainly didnt monopolize it.

And yes I would call Thursday an emocore, or screamo if you will, band. Definatley emo but with thicker roots in hardcore than emo.



PS - I recommend "Paris In Flames" or "For The Workforce, Drowning". Just to stay away from the typical Understanding In A Car Crash ( Although that is QUITE a song )

thursday is a ****ing good band. the end.

I agree. Way too many people put too much effort into categorizing a band, fitting them into a genre, then finding a sub-genre to fit them, etc etc. I wish that people would stop wasting so much time debating weather it's punk, or pop-punk, or emo, or emocore, and just decide if they think it's good music or not. I you like it, that's all there is to it, it doesn't matter in the least what genre it is.
