Hey I need to clear some stuff up... I'm not EMO but i get accused of listening to "EMO". I don't care what people say I just need to know what is , or is not considered "EMO" music... just out of curiosity

These bands along with many others that I listen to...

My Chemical Romance - I think these guys are pretty original, I really like the black parade album, I always thought they were like a hybrid rock/****c rock/pop band... the beginning song on the album sounds alot liek the first song on pink floyds the wall.

Comeback Kid - Aren't these guys straight up hardcore?

Motion City Soundtrack - Ummmm indie pop?

Thurseday - well these guys are just great musically, awesome band, again I would consider them melodic hardcore

Alexisonfire - I would think melodic hardcore again?

Anberlin - Pop/Punk/Indie , great band BTW

the list goes on....

maybe I don't know what EMO is because I was born earlier, and all this emo stuff is not my generation, but hey I dig the music Emo or not...

Erm, I don't think that's emo. Pardon my ignorance, but isn't emo somewhat similar to screamo?

'Emo music' nowadays is very misused... Anyways, 'Emo' music is any type of music that is considered emotional.

I think the term itself is flawed, all music is based on or is there to evoke emotion, so in that sense all music is emo.

Don't think its really music you listen to that determines EMO status. I like Lifehouse but I'm not EMO at all, I have short hair and hate hippies.

ComeBack kid and Thursday emo? Thats absurd a Emo band would be like Chiodos, Alesana, From first to last, Senses Fail, SilverStein and maybe the Used. I just don't understand how everybody says all emo bands talk is hurting them selves and others or thier life sucks or they want to die. There are alot of Emo bands that don't sing about that stuff its just a stupid stereotype just like all metal is people who worship satan or rap is nothing drugs and killing people. Its just nothing but stupid stereotypes from people who don't listen to the types of music or doesn't have the common knowledge.

What is emo? Sorry, I may a bit behind the times, but I see that term being thrown around alot. Is it similar to goth (they were around when I was in school)?

You fail even worse. Emo and screamo are the same genre,just in different era's. And alexisonfire isn't screamo. Well it is,but not real screamo.

You fail ever harder because its not the same thing. Yes screamo came from emo and punk. Just like Hardcore came from punk and also borrows the same element but are different elements to both screamo and emo which makes them different. So how about stop trying to act like you what you are talking about.Also stop being a a**hole because all I said was AOF was not emo.

Alexisonfire isn't screamo at all. Not even "fake screamo". they're the bastard son of Bad Brains sans reggae and pop-punk of the 90's.

Real screamo.
