What is emo? (3 Viewers)

[blackfriday]

JD in the same sentence with emo is blasphemy unless refered to in this context.

all you have to know that emo is CRAP.

Emo means emotional rock - It basically is the name given to all those angst driven bands around - but it is turning into more of a lifestyle (like indie to an extent)

'emo' is also a style, isn't it? dark hair and eyes but not quite gothic? did it evolve from the music?

 

[iwannarock]

i think the real question is, when will emo die already?

sorry i had to be the asshole to bring that up.

Bright Eyes??? Bright Eyes isn't emo - it's indie/folk

And Joy Division aren't either!

Everyone should download Give Me the Cure, Waiting Room or Burning by Fugazi and listen to some real emo.

Emo band = Jimmy Eat World.

*affronted* take that back!

Actually, i'm not too sure what emo is. I'm pretty sure these bands are emo though:
- taking back sunday
- the used (c'mon, the name says it all pfft the used!)
- dashboard confessional
- weezer

Basically, i think most people use the word 'emo' as an expression for what they consider to be illegitimate rock/punk.
Oh, and people who are sad, wear black and write many shitty soppy songs about being sad, wearing black, and writing songs...

 

[mr_brightside]

- weezer

hmmmf disagree there...
theyre more sorta alternative rock

Can you actually believe that a magazine labelled Coldplay as 'Emo'! I was so pissedl...I sincerly know that Coldplay can not be Emo music. They may be emotional, put that doesn't come through as rage.

Emo music is so stereotyped, how the hell can My Chemical Romance be emo?! Emo is a great stream of music, and MRC are shit!

 

[luscious-llama]

emo is horrible and whiney.
makes me want to cry.
ahahaha...but then again i have a very biased opinion of the stupid subculture..
give me alternative/jazz/swing any day lovelys

 

[wanton-wonton]

to some extent joy division. although JD are too cool for elmo's

Anyone who thinks Joy Division is emo, is fucked.
