Emo?

(1/9) > >>

RollOfDimes:
Can someone please give me a clear definition of what they think is "emo"? I know it's officially -selfish emotion-, -whiney-, etc... however, it seems to me if any music, or anything for that matter shows the slightest bit of sad or artistic emotion, it's struck down and labeled as emo. ehkdkd?

yipjumpmusic:
Look above at the thread titled EMO and INDIE FAQ

Not An Addict:
Emo is the new new wave. Bad dye jobs, horrible clothes, sexual ambiguity, and gratuitous synthesizers. History repeats!

I think "emo" has come to be a blanket term for anything moody and whiney. In which case, my 5-year old niece is emo.

Oli:
Emotional hardcore.

Spawned out of the DC hardcore scene (try blackflag) in the 80's

Bands such as: Rites of spring, Texas is the reason etc. etc.

Then other bands like Jawbreaker and the decendants kinda spawned out of them which I guess would be the start of the pop-punk/emo confusion...

Gryff:
An easy mistake to make, RollOfDimes. Don't sweat it, and pay no attention to certain posters who seem to have sand in their vaginas.
