no use for a name is not emo...shame on you...

also I like emo kids...they are kind of like hippies...if you are bored there are always some around to kick the crap out of

people who say they hate emo dont know anything about it. emo has long since lost it's real meaning which is very sad.

like when someone says "i hate ____ cause they're emo" not knowing that band isnt even emo. nowadays any band that writes sad lyrics, people automatically go "EMO!!"

ugh this is why i hate genre classification
johnlennon
yep, mostly from a band called thursday which is part emo smile.gif

thursday is such an incredible band. geoffrey's stage presence is just wow. he puts so much emotion into everything he sings. i wish more singers did that. seriously if they put on anymore shows, you guys have to check them out live.

Thursday is my favourite band. Their live show is so good.

I just went and saw Hopesfall, Moneen,
and Alexisonfire live, man that show was nuts, i've been to all the warped tours, and like 20 shows in vanvcouer, and this one took the #1 spot!

If I do, I don't know. I like individual artists and groups, and if I enjoy their sound, I listen to them. Sticking to specific genres is for the narrow-minded.

Well, there's also a difference between sticking to certain genre's and being knowledgable about them simply to help you organize and classify.

yeah, my favourite style is screamo, but i listen to Rock, and some Hip Hop, and a whole lot of Metal and Metalcore bands.

but my friend who listens to indie, says that im nerrow minded, or ONE TRACK! and he hates rap, rock, metal and punk.
FireWire

Firewire that is precious...I love it!!!!!!!!!

Thursday is about the only band I listen to that would be considered modern emo by most people. I don't really classify them as any one thing though. I like a lot of the bands that actually started the "label" of emo, or so history says. Embrace and Hüsker Dü for example.
Djmutik1013
Nope I hate it. If I want sad music i would listen to trip-hop
sdb815
LMAO @ FireWire rofl.gif
deepfriedmario
Yes - I was a total fan of emo when I first discovered it but recently, I just have been drifting away from that genre, the same goes to subgenres of emo such as emocore. One thing that makes me mad is the stereotype hovering around emo with the depression and sadness of people who listen to it. The same goes towards heavy metal with them being "goths" and hip-hop being "gangsters". It just angers me that people think music makes what you are to some people...

Some of the music is alright (some is utterly absymal).
It's the culture I cannot stand. Don't they know everyone laughs at anyone who dresses "emo" ?
Oh, I suppose we "don't understand" them no.gif

i agree * puts some 80s rock on * biggrin.gif
emo
you guys may think emo is talentless..but i dont.....you have to make the sounds to go along with the lyrics that you have to think of and write....but if you think about trance for example...you just take a beat which is almost always the same exact or similar beat in every trance song, and then you take someone singing and mix it together...and the singer repeats the same verse like 47 times in a row...or rap which they sing about drugs, sex, etc...and almost all rap songs are the same...

*looks at sig*

i listen to scream/emo whatever you want to call it. The guys in girl pants are usualy labeled "scene". I listen to alot of emo/screamo but i stay away from the tight shirts, girl pants and hankerchiefs.

yeah i was wishing the tbs and atreyu leg would be west coast but noooooooooooooo it had to be east coast. lol i've already seen matchbook and fallout. both good live. fallout is very energetic live. especially that one guitarist. he always does some crazy spins lol.

Granny: i was thinking about going to that 10-29 show. i didnt want to drive out to LA though, so i didnt buy tickets. i think i'm a little too lazy some times tongue.gif


thrice this weekend though in rancho caucamuga!!! last show of the year for them. i dont really consider them emo but whatever. i'm going to be screaming my heart out along with them

Hell yeah, emo/screamo is amazing. I love my heavier rock music and the good ol' classic, but nothing wrong with variety...FFAF, CO&CA and Alexisonfire to name a few are all good IMO smile.gif

hell yeah FFAF is AWESOME. I love them. I cant freaking wait to see Underoath live 2 times in one week!!!. I saw TBS at Warped Tour, they are so energetic..they rock so hard live. I saw Underoath aswell but i didnt know thier songs that much so i wasnt into it as much as TBS or Co&Ca. October and November are kicking months this year. Tomorrow night Bad Religion is playing here along with From First to Last.

ForeverUnknown - the Oct.29 TBS Show is at Jannus Landing in St. Pete ( Florida ). I really want to see FFAF so i could make a road trip to Georgia..we will see

hmmm so stereotypical of every single person that doesnt listen to emo ir doesnt know one thing about to be the first one to say that DC is emo... everyone says they are emo when i dont really consider them to be emo and in fact i dont really think they are good...
jooface
Emo seems to be dieing out... Most of it is "trying" to incorporate hardcore elements (Senses Fail, FFAF, etc.) But yes I enjoy emo every now and then, but what I mostly listen to is hardcore. =)
