In the UK, we seem to take it to mean H*R, FFAF, Finch. I'd say I'm an emo fan, hopefully not one of the asymetric haircut krew (who can be kinda annoying, but they'll go away like keychains and dreadlocks did), but I appreciate a lot of the bands that fall under this catagory that most of emo's detractors in this message board are to ignorant or too lazy to know about (they don't have any videos on TV, you see!) even though I don't care for bands like Taking Back Sunday.Don't hate 'em, but I've come to realise I really don't care about 'em. What a lot of you seem to be doing is drawing conclusions from a small (and mediocre) sample size:"Taking back Sunday or BrandNew don't have as many acne scars/lightning solos as Metallica, therefore all emo sucks'Good 'een, guys. Next time I see a HIM video, I'll conclude all metal sucks and throw away all my Fear Factory, Therapy and Ministry CD's?Think about it. You know, if you have the patience or mental dexterity too.Thanks. I hope you're nae including me in this bunch of ne'r do wells Lawson Strangely with this forum you're one of the people on here that I want to meet in person the most along with Frosty Jack (properly), Alan Cynic, Chilli, Stephen, Lester_Burnham & Neil (there are others but it's late ) but then I get the fear like when I meet bands that you're going to turn out to be rubbiss in real life and make me cry and wish I hidnae bothered. Aaahaah! My 3/4 length camoflauge shorts rule as they allow easy movement, ventilation and indeed they show off my Muppets socks, which as everyone should know, rock.

bryn Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Is emo classified as rock music? I think it is right? well in that case, rock has gone soft, both musically and physically... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARGGHHHHH if you hate emo so much, you might want to track down Ian McKaye and Garrett Klahn from Rites Of Spring and Texas Is The Reasons respectively. as a matter of fact, if you really hate emo that much you can also blame any band with a slightly hardcore sound (Black Flag, Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, Bad Brains ect...) and any band or artist with an emotional content (Guns & Roses, Elvis, Weezer ect...).

Fast Caz Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 What of shite alot of you speak.Who cares whatever the hell emo is ... why bring f4af they are shite non stop no matter what genre they arewell i suppose that is what most of you are good at.moaning over the internet trying to get sympathy vote or as jakes says a few of you are just trying to get laid.Now if you speaking about stuff like Killswitch Engage as that has moments of melody and i suppose stuff along those lines is what would be called "emo"but it suites it fine and i love it !!!!

You know, if you have the patience or mental dexterity too.Thanks. What an excellent post. I find these days I am permanently defending emo, just because the lazy bashing of it is so annoying. Generally, people seemingly don't have a clue on what they are talking about or what emo even is! Especially all these 'metal kids' who always slag emo... that pisses me off. Slagging off emo is actually the new emo to me. The way emo is stereotyped is equivalent to saying all metal bands sing about demons and dragons and wear spandex and have mullets. It's stupid.I don't actually like "real" emo...and that includes everyone from Far, Fugazi and Shelter through to dashboard confessional and Brand New. The only "emo" album I own is the Funeral For A Friend one, which isn't even emo anyway.But I'd rather simply say it's just not my type of music as opposed to going around spouting off uneducated drivel which to me is jumping on a bandwagon every-bit as much as those who grow their hair like the "faggy emo bands".

Camie Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 What the fuck I cant beleive im reading this! Complete narrow mindedness once again! Ok there are some really bad emo bands but the same can be said for any genre! Emo has derived from many genres including punk rock,new wave,metal,jazz etc. I am not a big fan of rap but I still appreciate there are some good rappers out there and I dont degrade myself by making a stupid thread moaning about rapping. I dont like a lot of Rn B but again i dont make a silly thread about how much I think it sucks.Get a Grip yeh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 To be honest I prefer Funeral For a Friend *or insert other emo band if FFAF aren't emo by your standards* to Metallica. I'd hardly say I was emo. I'm obsessive about vocalists though, and despite the fact that appreciate Metallica for their skill and song writing ability, the vocalist just irritates me.... "hey hey hey... I have a grindy voice and am a big scary beardy bastards.... hey hey hey"I actually like the melodic vocals that appear in, "emo" through the chaos and screams come a voice of beauty (sometimes... if they can sing) and that appeals to me vastly.So I'm actually siding with the emo kids here.Actually in reference to local bands.... I went to see My Mind's Weapon the other week, and I thought they were quite enjoyable... the guitarist I would say was more metal than anything... the drummer was pretty much hardcore based from what I observed and the vocals had the combination of screams and melody. Aren't they classed as "Emo"? I quite liked them anyway. A lot heavier than most local stuff I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 What a waste of thread space.Emo doesn't exist- it's a figment of record execs minds. Anyone remember grunge? That didn't exist either.Get a collective life, let people listen to what they want to without reproach. You're all narrow minded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
