projectmayhem

^CwAzY^

Depends what u define as emo, I like Jimmy Eat World, HIM, etc

Creamy Goodness

emo such a broad gender though. some people think that i listen to a lot of emo music but to be honest i don't even know if they are emo and if they are i couldn't really give a crap.

mainly listen to: weezer, jimmy eat world, saves the day, bright eyes.

then there's the likes of biffy clyro, who i haven't a clue what genre people would put them in.

Yeah Finch is Emo. Minismile, not many emo concerts sell out except people like MCR and Jimmy Eat World or Weezer nut thats cause theyve gone mega mainstram and alot of people dont even consier them Emo. I like emo but I like alot of other things aswel from metal to punk to classic rock.

You wont find alot of people online admitting they like emo as most emo kids get flamed. For some reason people think theyre all whiney little kids crying about ex-girlfriends. Many people dont realise that there is alot of talented bands out there, like Dashboard Cofesional and The New Amsterdams.

EDIT: Man alot of people where responding at the same time as me, makes you think, maybe its more popular than people think. Ive been at FFAF twice and Taking Back Sunday, thats about all the emo gigs ive been too, saw Jimmy Eat World at oxegen though and had tickets to Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World in 2001 but it was canceled. The thing I love about emo bands is they arent as arrogant as most other bands. Everytime I was at an emo concert I met the bands, got a kiss from the FFAF support bandsbassist, million dead, check her out here http://www.milliondead.com/photos3.html just look at the first pic from Cesis Fonofest, she is hot!

minismile

i do agree most ppl will not admit in liking emo stuff but personally im not into the "emo scene" i just love the music. and i know alot of emo gigs dont get totally sold out but most of them come close to selling out. i just want to know is their a big emo music following in ireland?

Jimmy eat world is qiute emo but him is more love metal than anything isnt it?

Yep HIM is love metal. There is a big following here, the amount of Irish Emo bands is growing, people like the Mascara theory are doing really well. I know a load of people that love emo. I'd say its gonna be round for a while to come.

Starting my band in the summer, dont have time right now to commit to rehearsals so till then Ive put it aside, I have a few people that want to start it with me so look out for Tomorrows Unsung Heros.

I've never listened to emo, but it's not something I would like to listen to either judging by what the people who do like it look like. They make me want to hurt them and force them to listen to Led Zeppelin.

Which reminds me, what's this post doing in the Rock/Metal thread?

Heh, was meaning to look for the video of that song, nice one.

Karl Hungus

Can we kindly not turn this into a slag-fest please? Thanks.

Emo music is sometimes defined as alternative metal. ie. to a person that doesnt listen to metal or Emo, Screamo Emo and metal would sound the same. to some people not all but some

Karl Hungus

Screamo? Care to inform us of what that is exactly?

Oeneus

What the hell is Emo? I don't get it. Is it just because people got bored of the word goth so they made up a new one or something? Or judging by that video, has it got something to do with covering at least one eye ball with your hair?
Has it got anything to do with music at all?

Whoa! There's no corelation between Emo and Goth, so don't even suggest such a thing.

Christ, Peter Murphy would be spinning in his grave.

Basically, emo fans have divided the overall umbrella we call emo music, into various (if not countless) sub-categories.
One of which is called Screamo.

I've tried that (well not the hurting bit, the forcing them to listen to Led Zeppelin bit) and it didn't work...
I've listened to some emo and don't like it myself, I found it bland and boring quite quickly... But many of my friends like it, it's really weird, like all the people like emo know all the other people who like emo... then other people slag off emo too much... it gets talked about far too much really

minismile

that video is fab thanks for the link.

Their latest release is really a hardcore album. Nearly every ounce of emo has been drained out of the band, to the extent that they now refuse to play "Letters To You" live. Meh, I like the new, more hardcore Finch. Finch originated from a hardcore band called "Numb" anyway.

People criticize emo for being "trendy", but the real trend is the hating and criticising it.
But yeah there's loads o' great emo out there. Notably Funeral For A Friend, Taking Back Sunday, Jimmy Eat World and though not strictly 'emo'; The Used, Lostprophets, Thursday.

You get the baseball bats and i will get Led Zeppelin II



Only messin, not really into that sort of music but, everyone to their own.

Not really a fan of emo, I've tried listening to HIM, Jimmy Eat World and a few others but it just does nothing for me. Too downbeat and whiny... I think I'll be sticking to my upbeat power metal

Hmm, downbeat and whiny? I hope you're not a fan of Daron Malakian's voice then! :v: Like your location might seem to suggest...
Well, some people find the relatively high pitched voices of emo vocalists "whiny", and others realise that it's just a combination of the vocal inflection and the personal lyrics. It's worth saying that HIM aren't really emo and JEW have very weak vocals IMO. Maybe check out a few more bands before you decide to stick to your power metal, eh?

I agree the slaggings i get off little narrow minded people when i tell them i'm into emo stuff . half of them dont even know what it is, they just know other people slag emo kids off so they do it too. also ffaf is my favourite band and ~Taking Back Sunday is also up there with the greats.

Fraggle Rocks

I like proper emo, which is to say the original emo bands like Embrace, Fugazi and Dag Nasty. Incidentally they sound nothing like the emo you hear toda.y

minismile

old time emo is pretty good. but i have to say i prefer the emo stuff off today.

Undergod

I like funeral for a friend's first album. Are Bullet for My Valentine (I think that's what a friend played for me once) considered emo? They seemed it and they had some great guitar. I want to listen to some of the old emo stuff.

Karl Hungus wrote:

THank you, I nearly had to hurt something. Emo kids have borrowed liberally from some aspects of goth fashion, but there's very few similarities musically or otherwise.

Yeah, they're something of a grey area.
No-one can really come to a solid conclusion about them.

Not sure. brilliant guitar work but lyrics and vocals sound like most emo bands. If they are emo, they're a kick up the arse for people who slag emo.

There, maybe you'll learn something about proper emo music and where it all began and see how it has changed since Revolution Summer.

Emo? What a load of p1ss. Jump with the guitars in sequence, makeup, high pitched wailing about romance?!?! I think other 'musicians' have done that before...bros, busted, mcfly....

wanwarlock

weezer... emo??? say it ain't so!!! i love weezer, but i think they're more 'geek rock' than emo... hehhe

the used are a brilliant 'emo' band, also 'old' funeral for a friend (this years most open heartbreak is a killer song!!)

Who's in this emo gang? I'm not a fan of emo and yet I still know that none of this stuff is remotely close to emo.

It wasn't me!

All metal about hate? Not really...

BopNiblets

Is Jack Johnson emo?
It would give me another reason to hate him...

Seems to me emo is a whinier, metrosexual version of blues?
Depressed for the sake of being depressed (with worse hair)?

I remember a Tony Soprano quote that reminds me of the frame of mind of emo (it could apply to most Western countries, not just the USA):
"America is the only place in the world where you can have everything and still go to a shrink for therapy."

Not 100% accurate quote but it was along those lines.

munky

Can I just say that EMO music, on the whole(and yes there are some exceptions just like with every other type of music), sucks big time.
It seems to me that emo bands are liked for their image and not the music!
I mean come on A7X are a **** Iron Maiden rip off, and MCR are a parody of themselves!(I'm not sure how they amnagesd that, but they did!)
All you little emo kids need to start listening to decent music, then people will take you seriously.

Karl Hungus

I've asked already that this not turn into a slag-fest against emo, and you didn't listen. Go on, someone post some more "Blah blah it's crap blah! rubbish, and just see what happens. Just don't whinge when it does happen, because you know in advance it's coming.

weeder wrote:

Sorry, but would you mind keeping your trap shut about things you clearly have no clue about?

minismile

so does no one like emo stuff except me?
