Urge to kill growing.
Okay, thats it rant.
I had to seriously, stop reading the rest of the thread because of this. I just needed to instantly yell at you pretty much. How the hell can you compare the crapfest that is Hawthorne Heights to old From Autumn To Ashes. Hawthorne Heights has little musical talent, while FATA has a decent ammount of it in that band.
Short Stories With Tragic Endings is pretty much all screaming, while Ohio is for Lovers is just bad singing.
Seriously, go back to drawing anarchy signs on your notebook and get the eff out of here.

--- Quote from: sp2 ---I dunno, but there is little to no emo in the classic ATDI albums (mainly social/political commentary when you can pull apart the lyrics), Blood Brothers (mainly social critique as well as critique of certain types of individuals), or BearvsShark (critique of satisfaction with the suburban lifestyle, among other things). Trail of Dead, if they're post-hardcore, are sometimes a little emo-ey, but there's also a lot of social commentary in many of their songs as well.

Actually, a lot of early emo and screamo bands commented on social issues. A lot. The idea that emo consists entirely of post-pubescent men whining about breakups wasn't even established until Dashboard Confessional came along and fucked everything up for people.

I've always found it interesting in the oringal emo/screamo movement, a major theme was the blending of the personal and the political, which is also a major theme of the more scholarly works of 70's era feminism. Now, the hot topic emo crowd has turned into something almost the opposite of feminism- self pity and occasionally mild misogyny under the guise of heartache.

--- Quote from: Kai ---Yeah. it's also really shitty, whiny, and has really bad lyrics.
SO CUT MY WRISTS AND BLACK MY EYES
SO I CAN FALL ASLEEP TONIGHT, OR DIE
BECAUSE U KILL ME
YOU KNOW YOU DO, U KILL ME WELL
YOU LIKE IT TO AND I CNA TELL
Infact, I declare that song the national anthem of myspace. Fucking myspace.

Right. I admit it, I have no idea what kind of music From Autumn to Ashes, Hawthorne Heights and those other bands mentioned make. I've never listened to their stuff (we don't get that TV no more).
Given the description here, I probably won't like it, but that's not the point.
My point is: Kai, please, please, for the love of God and all that is holy, tell me that you made up these lyrics right here on the spot and that you can't actually get a record deal if you have lyrics as bad as that. Please.

And then it bled over into hardcore, which is the reason why half the songs I write these days are somehow about female liberation. Sigh.
@Patatat: Don't be a dick.

There are obviously two different waves of emo. There's true emo, that was bred out of the hardcore movement (there are a lot of good bands in there). When most people talk about emo, they're not thinking about that movement. They're talking about the commercialized MTV shit. That's another story entirely.
