Opinions on emo music?

[QUOTE="travisstaggs"][QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"] Every emo "artist" seems like a joke to me. Something you'll look back on in 20 years and think "WTF was I thinking." imaps3fanboy

Yes.

Anyway, I like American Football a lot. I'm not sure if Northstar is considered emo, but I like them a lot too.

Far from my least favorite genre.

Shouldn't really be generallizing imo. Most good bands change their sound from album to album, so maybe they were emo when they first came out, but they usually mature to something that isn't what most consider "emo". I consider anything really mellow or emotional to be emo.

My number 1 opinion? Just about everyone incorrectly classifies pop-punk as emo... so most people have never heard a true emo band...

[QUOTE="Xeros606"]Love it, both old bands like Thursday and Sunny Day Real Estate and new ones like MCR and The Used. It's probably what I listen to most these days. I think a lot of the hatred emo gets is mainly because of the caricature of emo kids created by the media. I'm introverted and I guess you could say I'm depressed, but I don't wear black all the time, don't wear make-up, don't have 'emo hair' don't complain about my problems to other people, don't cut myself, etc.wigan_gamer

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"][QUOTE="travisstaggs"] Same can be said about any type of music, really.Konekomaru

Yes.

ya I can dig it. American Footbal, Cap'n Jazz, Fugazi, etc.

I dont know... parts of it are okay. But if all your music is sad or angry, then thats a problem.

Emos music sucks. I prefer black Metal.

american football is amazing. i love everything i listen to. i used to be put off by the label people give emo music. then i realized how little their opinion matters to me. i listen to a lot of emo. older emo. newer post hardcore. screamo. punk, pop punk, indie, electroindie, some synth. all my friends are die hard metal fans.

what i dislike is people who are pretentious about their choice of music and put down other bands and listeners before listening themselves

I did listen to some of that stuff when I was younger but I just can't stand it anymore.

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"] Not really, do people look back at listening to Rush, bathory, porcupine tree, or megadeth, and think that?blackacidevil96

Yes.

The Receiving End of Sirens

Thrice(their older stuff are more in the vein of post-hardcore music)

Thursday(entire discography, but I prefer everthing they did after WATT)

Moving Mountains

Anthony Green led Saosin

More post-hardcore stuff than 'emo', but heck I don't know much on how to label music with genres. I used to dig metal from the likes of Underoath and As I Lay Dying, but my preferences for music have changed somewhat, I love screaming vocals but not when the vocalist decides to scream for a large portion of the album.

not a big fan of emo music really, rather prefer metal myself

you know why theres emo band threads? cause they **** suck
