Fun Stuff > BAND
Real emo
Mnementh:
As someone pointed out, you can't really pigeon hole people into genres, very few bands are that shallow.
Also, I had a funny thought at work today as I was humming "I Want You To Want Me" in my head (Live at Budoken of course). By todays definition, Cheap Trick is definitely emo. That just amused me.
KharBevNor:
But music genres are so much fun! Plus, if you went 'pop-punk is pop-punk' then Screeching Weasel=Avril Lavigne, and if 'heavy metal is heavy metal' then Motley Crue=Cryptic Wintermoon.
You can't just dismiss genres. Especially if you want to find more music in the style of your favourite bands off your own bat.
Robbo:
ASturge was that aimed at me....because that wasn't the point of what I was trying to say about that comment. I was saying you where right and in that you can say things simply like "Iron Mainden is Heavy Metal" And that's says/shows you understand the music and what it's about. And that there is overkill and you dont really need a huge long genre desc because that's not the point alot of the time.
Is the "knows a little bit about it" point?...Which I ment to men music as a whole. As in, knowing Heavy Metal from Nu Metal, Hardcore from Death Metal, Trance from House, etc, etc. Knowing a lot in detail about your chosen likes and about musical technicallity is another issue.
Mechorg, that's was based off what I listen to you know. Maybe it evloved very different from what you listen to. And maybe the level of change we're on about is different. I listen to genres that span 20, 30 years. You can look at how stuff changes...how bands work on the building blocks, change the way ideas work and stuff. I take it point about being subjective to mean a band looking at a style of music and saying "no, that's not x at all" and throwing it all away to do something different that's apprently still x.
