Real emo

--- Quote from: Se7en ---Embrace are emo? I think this is stretching genre definitions to the point of meaninglessness, embrace have absolutely nothing in common with any of the bands that actaully identify themselves as "emo" or some variation of it.
If you try and expand the definition of emo to "music with emotions in it" then everything qualifies as emo.

Then again, i have always always catergorised dashboard confessional et all as "wuss-rock".

Embrace was the very first TRUE emo band.

KharBevNor:
Okay, if we're going to get tetchy about emo, can we not sling the word 'metal' around whenever we hear overdrive and screaming?

Patatat:
Its funny that most of that list went on to form Shitty Emo.

Because as we all know Emo people have ovaries, that make it impossible for them to make a good third album. They either break up, or just continue on sucking.


And who ever made fun of At-The Drive In is wrong. They were very very good.

sp2:
You should read more closely.  I just said that there's no way in hell ATDI are emocore.  That's all.

I love ATDI to pieces.  They are awesome.  And they are definitely not emocore or screamo or any of those crappy buzzwords.

Merkava:
At the Drive-In is one of my favorite bands, but all that guy was saying was that they weren't "emocore." He said Trail of Dead is emocore, which I may or may not agree with. If emocore is emotional hardcore...I guess you can consider them emocore, but I prefer Indie Rock...emoindie. :P
