Guest allsystemsfail Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 But hey wait are Fugazi not ment to be the origonal "emo" band?? Well, no. The pioneers of emotional hardcore? Think Embrace and Rites Of Spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest allsystemsfail Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Anyway i think you'll find Fugazi are classed as emo' date=' they were one of the first bands to be called that. [/quote']Post hardcore yes. Emo, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 what's the difference between those bands and emo bands? let's just assume you think My Minds Weapon are "emo"..now' date=' let's look at the fact that their lead guitarist is undeniably better at playing the guitar than Kurt Cobain ever was, let's look at the fact that their bassist is most likely better than Krist Novoselic is/was...fair enough, Dave Grohl may be better than their drummer (i know nothing about drums, they both nail the fuck out of said drumkits however) - but one person doesn't constitute the whole band. Real music? On the basis of talent, I'd say MMW were more of a band than Nirvana anyday. now, stop with this fucking stupid "emo bands are rubbish and they should play real music!" nonsense, i'm bored to fucking tears of hearing people slag emo bands off, only to profess a love for a band(s) that are actually worse in terms of talent.[/quote']I would constitute real music to be bands that have something new to the scene and dont bore me with samey sounds. Its not about what you can do with your instruments hell anyone can do that if they put their mind to it. Its all about doing something constructive with the talent you have. Emo does none of that for me. Its boring musically thats why at the drive in split up as they were bored with the sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Come on man if you are going to argue at least pretend you know what you are talking about please.Please can you tell me then why the uscdb (american cd database) defined their album "end hits" as punk then?Thats where everyone gets their id3 tagging from. They wrong too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 i'm not missing your point. i'm just saying' date=' i value creativity as a much greater gift than technical ability. anyway, i liked everything kurt cobain played on a guitar, it all sounded great to me. some of dan's guitar playing just sounds stupid, unnecessary and overly extravagant, like a tutorial excersise.[/quote']You are spot on, i've seen my minds weapon and to be honest it makes me cringe.Just a kiddies pop band, nothing more, nothing less.Nirvana on the other hand were excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Haha what a load of shit. "oh i hate emo it must be shite" God how many threads need to go on like this?? What i find funny is' date=' all you "metal heads" or whatever say "all emo kids do is moan" but then at the same time all you seem to do is moan about them. How you can sit there and say all emo kids do is moan is beyond me cause its all you do!!! "oh emo is shit, so much whining" well stop going on about it then and let it die the death its going to. But sitting there moaning about moaning seems a bit hypocritical does it not??[/quote']Nice try, but way off. There's a world of difference between moaning about something and laughing at it.

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 for me' date=' personally, i have a definition of what emo 'is'for the music, it tends to be centered around heartbreak and nostalgic memories of how great their relationship was, how it's killing them to be apart etc etc etc. but in a rock genre. i dont so much have a problem with the music exactly....but the people who are on the emo 'scene'.Now i dont know what it's like in Abdn. but at least here your stereotypical emo kid:dyed black hair,often long, with emo fringe (sorry, i can't sufficiently explain how the fringe looks, sorta long and sweeps over one half of the face)they wear the black band shirts, ie, funeral for a friend.jeans down their ass with a pyramid belt random braclets on their arms, often cheap and/or tackynow they also wear converse and blazers as stolen from the indie scene.it's not even the way they dress. it crosses over into a lot of genres what they wear, the 'stereptypical' things worn by each 'scene'. I like quite a bit of what they wear.not thatnot really the music (altho too much gets me depressed)no it's their ATTITUDE and that's what REALLY gets meeveryone's against themand they whine over every petty thingconstantlyi don't ask you to agree with my views. that's just how it is where i live, i dont even live in scotland so *shrugz* it may be completely different where you live. but that's my definition and some of why i have a disliking for them.[/quote']Yeah, that's pretty much how it is here too. I'm sorry, but your take on it is just too similar to mine. Are we twins? The music is boring and ordinary, but inoffensive. The emo attitude is utterly revolting and is coming in for some much-deserved piss-taking from those who see it for the attempt to get laid that it is. Those who get so uptight and defensive about it do nothing to refute the stereotype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Nice try' date=' but way off. There's a world of difference between moaning about something and laughing at it.[/quote']But its not laughing i think i can count 6 threads at the mo with people moaning about emo or what is emo.....Get over it!!!!Just ignore it instead of moaning about it all the time please!!!!We dont see people who listen to emo starting threads saying "oh we hate dance music its so dull and boring" do we???? Or techno heads saying "all metal is shit" do we??????So why in this case is there a new thread everyweek about it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
