Um...Would you Consider THIS Emo?

I mean the word Emo is thrown around everywhere. It's like the word has a different meaning for everyone. One person might say "oh that guy wears tight pants and has long hair. He's Emo." And another person might say "That guy has black hair. He's automatically emo." And then another person might say "The way he talks, what he says, makes him emo." But is THIS Emo? Listen to what they're saying. Or actually you can just read right off of the thing :P It's kinda disturbing and twisted... :shock: In your opinion, is that emo or not?

That band had the worst song in all of Burnout Paradise.

Sense Fail is pop punk at best. Real punk is bands like Antiflag. This is real punk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8czA9A6dGYE

What exactly does the term Emo derive from? Emotional? LiftedHeadshot

i think its derived from "emotive harcore"

emo music genre =artists like dashboard confessional, jimmy eat world, thursday, etc..

emo subculture = people with sideswept front hair covering one eye or both eyes, wearing slim fit pants, tight fit t-shirts,

Senses Fail is post-hardcore. So yes, they're basically what people call emo.

most people don't understand me this thread makes it clear

I've always thought funny how people call things EMO, and specificly to make a negative point, even at people who would never associate with this idea or call themselves EMO.

Most lyrics are emo, except stuff like Metallica and System of a Down. I couldn't care less about lyrics.

really?

really?

sense's fail?

thats emo :P

I'm surprised you don't find Lonely Day and Nothing Else Matters (or about 80 other Metallica songs.. Hetfield talks about writes some pretty intense stuff) to be emo.

By the first three notes alone I would call it "emo".

Emo isn't an adjective. It's a genre.

SuperSaiyanLink

Well, that's the source of my confusion. When I call someone emo, it's not because he belongs to a "genre".

Obviously it's taken a whole other meaning the past couple years but calling a band's lyrics emo because any sort of passion was put into it is assinine. I think the word you're looking for is pretentious. Or maybe just... deep?

That's the thing, I don't consider passion emo, even though both are very close concepts.

let me say one thing

when i think of "emo"

i think deep lyrics

first band

"jimmy eat world"

not fall out boy or others of the kind

Lou Barlow from Sebadoh (Dinosaur Jr.) coined the term "Emo". Maybe you should ask him what he originally meant by it.

:lol: Not even close. That, my friends, is called "pop-punk".harashawn

what i was thinking.

To me, emo is just laying down your feelings in details.

Genres are stupid though. There's good music and bad music.

Girls are way more emo than most guys. Gays as well. Do you need a reality check?
