martinduthie Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ok so i went along to the Taste of Chaos tour.. and hell i expected it to be full of scene kids and emo whiners.. and u guessed it.. i was right...There were a bunch of idiots dressed in old striped shirts, cardigans all around me, stupid high water pants, 50's style non-prescription glasses, studded belts... i wanted to punch each and every last patron of this establishment right in the gut. I like loads of bands but im sick of this scene when bands come out.. because they have long hair and get branded emo...Emo is NOT a genre of music. the rationale behind sticking bands in the Emo genre is that "sadness, love and even anger are common lyrical themes" really? WOW. how concise. there are shitloads upon shitloads of songs about being sad (the blues), angry (metal), and in love (Enrique Iglasias... except not). calling all songs about those subjects "Emo" is like calling all things that are green, "grass". what a load of shit.I enjoyed the concert.. but was pissed of with the whole scene..unfortunately, Emo proliferates in today's music market. it's a sad state of affairs, but Emo, like the candle that was grunge rock, will eventualy die. and i'll be there to piss on the ashes.haha!Im still waiting for hip hop and R n B to die.. but sadly MTV wont let go.. heehee.Anyways bring on all the ace upcoming bands like Trivium and so forth..and from now on im gonna call emo, FEMO,,, Feminine EMO..so cheer up, Emo kid. your loosery life isn't as bad as you think. stop crying, you're getting tears on your Converse All-Stars.

bladeola Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Let me be the first to congratulate you on starting another patheticly retarded thread which will inevitably lead to a mass bitching fest.You're EXACTLY right.Oh well' date=' here we go again...Anyways bring on all the ace upcoming bands like Trivium and so forth..You pretty much totally shot yourself in the foot there, up until mentioning "ace" and "Trivium" in the same breath, you were just stating your opinion on the - very young - crowd at Taste of Chaos, then you went and ruined it all by saying something stupid...or whatever that Sinatra guy was on about.

Alkaline Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I thought My Minds Weapon were playing Hehe, now now Chris There were several bands that would've fitted into the media's bracket for the tag 'Emo' but true there were no 'Emo' bands playing as far as i'm concerned.

Chris Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 There were several bands that would've fitted into the media's bracket for the tag 'Emo' but true there were no 'Emo' bands playing as far as i'm concerned.Yeah. Who cares though? I'm really bored with "what is emo?" it's almost as cliched now as "what is punk?". If you're lazy enough to brand metal bands as emo then you're too lazy to care when someone tries to explain what emo bands really sound like. So it's a pointless excercise.

Inkster Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 This is getting really boring now.Sorry martin but what did you expect to see at the gig? People all dressed in baggy jeans and hoodies with backwards caps on or is that just for Limp Bizkit gigs?People are people for who and what they are.Bands are bands for who and what they are. Everybody dresses in certain ways to go with what kinda thing they are into because that is society and society like to put people in boxes with stickers on them telling people exactly what they're looking at.On a seperate note, what I think is SO funny is when girls go to gigs with high-heels on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Complaining about emo kinds at an emo festival is like complaining about the volume at a Motorhead concert. Infact, why didn't you go see Motorhead instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
