Old Gold Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 emo is a bit like a screaming toddler. if you leave it alone when it throws a tantrum, it learns that attention-seeking gets it nowhere in life. but if you spoil it and give it attention, it grows up and makes threads like this one.Haha, fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 well, it certainly isn't any of this Panic! shite, or FFAF, Lostprophets and MCR screaming shite.Some Emo bands (imo) are : - Gratitude, Dashboard Confessional, Far, Jimmy Eat World, Rival Schools, Jack's Mannequin and THE GET UP KIDS. all of those bands rule. much better than the screaming crap some people listen to these days.And it isn't any of our local "emo/punk" bands either."Screaming shite"?

Shaki Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 *sigh* the link againwww.fourfa.complease close this thread someoneI didn't actually know the origins of "emo", nice one. Rites of spring, fugazi, dag nasty, minor threat are all bands I listen to and didn't know they would be mentioned in the same breath as "emo". I also listen to JEW and The Ataris (some stuff anyway, they seemed to get a bit pish latterly) which is what I always associated with "emo". It's just a stupid word though in my opinion and I like what I like irrespective of genre (I'm aware this isn't a new philiosophy I've just come up with).

calum Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I'd like to think that he meant "FFAF and MCR" and "screaming shite" were two different things, and that he actually liked those two, it's just that he doesn't think they're emo, whereas "screaming shite" he thinks is shite. I would LIKE to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that it makes us "scene"? I don't think "screaming shite" is really one genre somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rites of spring, fugazi, dag nasty, minor threat are all bands I listen to and didn't know they would be mentioned in the same breath as "emo". There's also the likes of Shihad, Seaweed, Quicksand, Fireside and Understand. All referred to as 'emo' back in their day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
