Beginning to worry about my lil bro

So he's 9 now and starting to follow music a little more and I think he's headed down the emo trail. I've tried showing him bands ranging from AC/DC, Van Halen and ZZ Top to The Rolling Stones and Eagles but he doesn't like 'em. He likes bands like 3 Days Grace, Papa Roach, Fall Out Boy, MCR and so on. Is it too late for him?PsychoT4Prez

thts not too much of a bad thing and its not like u can change any of it anyways

Whats so bad about him liking emo music?mattyftm

Everything is.

Just let him listen to what he wants.zeppelin_64

I agree.

Everything is.

Why do you say that? He has his own music tastes, just like you do. Doesn't mean anything else.

Just don't let him cut himself, and if he says life sucks, beat him up and educate him on how other children in third world contires live.Lonelynight

It doesn't matter how other people live. Everyone has pain, everyone has a different threshold of pain. It doesn't matter if you live on the streets or in a mansion, you can still have depression.

Indeed. Please don't let him listen to that.

any person who shoves eagles into people lose there respect & integrity for life ...

mind you the bands your lil bro likes is beyond me ! christ!

the answer to your problem is The Beatles I hope in time you realize ..

Yes it does! Dont listen to her! (Hinata)

Now to remove the emoness in him you will need:

Baking soda
Large amounts of duck eggs
A spade
A cow tongue
A copy of 'The wind in the willows'

No only joking, try him with some Jimi Hendrix tunes and show him some vids of him doing tricks etc... Good Songs to try him on are.

AC/DC-Thunderstruck
Anything by Jimi Hendrix really...
Dragonforce-Through the fire and flames
Ram Jam-Black betty
Eric Clapton-Layla
Eric Johnson-Cliffs of dover

And finally if all else fails, give him some Yngwie Malmsteen! That will make his ears bleed with happyness. Make sure he watches Yngwies videos on youtube because those are amazing.

I never said that you can't have depression, I get depress very often too. What I'm trying to say is appreciate what you have know as much as you can, since you don't know what would happen tomorrow.

im a big fan of papa roach and three days grace and they are not emo maybe fall out boy but the others are notishoturface

Nope, Fall Out Boy is NOT emo.

[QUOTE="mattyftm"]Whats so bad about him liking emo music?PsychoT4Prez

I quite like some emo music (I'm using the TC's deffenition of emo music from the bands he listed, even though I wouldn't call them emo music). It doesn't mean I'm going to go sliting my wrists and stuff.

Papa Roach ain't emo? I quote from 1 of their biggest songs "Cut my life into pieces this is my last resort, suffocation, no breathing, don't give a f*** if I cut my arm bleeding"

I know this but most of the emo bands his lil bro likes use this " depression" & self-hatred as an image with no substance

stripped away all honesty (from bands like the smiths) to create whiney dull garbage

Keep him away from DragonForce, most overrated band ever.

Sounds like nu-metal to me...

Then Slipknot and other nu-metal bands are also emo?

None of them look emo to me. The front one looks like a pretty boy, the next one back just looks weird, the nex one looks like a nerd and the next one back looks like a rock star wannabe.

But then you get lines like "wish my wrists were still bleeding" from Flyleaf (christian rock)

They look awesome. But I'm talking about their music, not their looks. Fall Out Boy is not emo, sorry.

Ok, EVERYTHING is emo unless it involves some sort of drum or electric guitar solo and isnt about someone killing themselves. There. Except for Stairway to heaven by Led Zep.

I dont think emo songs have guitar solo's? Do they? Its usually just someone strumming very loud and singing about their everlasting pain, they try and make it sound rock but it isnt. Its just sad sad music that rots our brains. I say we bring back the 60's somehow when music was more sensible.
