Swingin' Ryan Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Emo is a falsehood. It's just what people who used to like pop-punk now listen to.What pisses me off the most is how your suddenly being "emo" if you have black hair or wear a jumper or something equally ridiculous, I can't leave the house in a bloody jumper anymore without being questioned if I like emo by some little runt.The whole thing is just the background music to the "scene" and i will continue to wear my "Emo Sucks" t-shirt with full pride.

Sure it's a bit of a cash-cow just now, and the genre is being watered down with acts that sound exactly the same as the one before, but you can't apply that to the whole genre. Take for example, nu-metal. It was what you might call the 'old' emo...you had bands like korn, limp bizkit, deftones, linkin park etc..now whilst it's a scene that has faded with korn and limp bizkit's latest output being nothing but dire the Deftones have moved on, taking the nu-metal sound and laying it to waste on newer releases that set them apart from their 'genre-buddies'.

allstardawn Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 personally, i don't like emo because i just don't like the music (with the exception of a couple of bands.. those exceptions being brand new and thursday) but for a while there was the whole "oh emo.. so cool" thing going round, which was fine, now it "emo.. oh its not cool" and people who actually like emo are using that insult. quite pathetic really.

kirkt Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 what pisses me off more is the magazines take on bands...look at the deftones...they were the so-called kings of nu-metal and now their screamo or summit like that...i like from autumn to ashes, allergo and some glassjaw but mostly the bands all sound the same to me and im fed up hearin how "this band are a fresh take on the emo scene" and how the band says how different they are when their clearly not...everyone to their own like but its not gonna last just like nu-metal never and im sure three years ago people were sayin the thing bout nu-metal they are bout emo but im proudly uncool enough to admit i like half of the stuff in the so called nu-metal scene...just emo/metalcore/emocore/post hardcore or whatever it is called...as a whole is not for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there are exceptions to every rule.My main sentiment is that Emo is just the new-rock movement (as was pop-punk and nu-metal). Not everyone who likes Nu-Metal or Pop-Punk likes Emo but I think you'll find a large percent of Emo fans have previously been big fans of those genres.

StewCat Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 cant we all just listen to music and not put it under a genre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 how about people who are pop-punk fans AND emo fans. more exceptions to this rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
