Are There Any Emo guys On R3V?

[DEV0 E30]

I like some of what is now considered EMO. But I also like all sorts of music styling. And seriously, I have never looked down on someone because of the music they like and listen to. Quite the opposite. It is only ignorant to not accept that dope ass music cant/isn't made in every genre.

So thats the lesson kids. Just because you think something sucks, that doesn't make it the God's truth. Open your mind. And if that doesn't work, smoke weed. That makes everything sound cool.

Fenix TX fuckin' rocked... and then they broke up. it fuckin' sucked.

[Jand3rson]

It really sucks that some of the music I really like gets thrown into the emo category. I could care less what the guys that make the music sound like, I just like it. Death Cab for Cutie is one of my favorite bands, and every time I tell someone I like them, all I get is "Oh my god, they're so emo. Are you emo?" They can be a little whiny sometimes, but their music is awesome.

The thing that REALLY pisses me off is how so much good hardcore is getting thrown into the emo scene. About a year ago, I went to see The Dillinger Escape Plan and ZAO, and almost the entire show was 15 and 16 year old high school kids, the majority of them girls, and almost ALL of them were wearing the same Coheed and Cambria hoddie from the show the week before, and they all looked EXACTLY the same. I wanted to kill every one of them. For those of you that have heard ZAO, or for that matter, The Dillinger Escape Plan, you'd know that those 2 bands are the farthest thing from emo there is. But there all these mopey little fucks were. Every time the pit got going really good, all these whiny little bastards would start throwing a fit because they were getting bumped into.

Fenix TX was awesome. And for the record, I like Blink182. Always have. They played here at the VFW hall almost a year before "Dude Ranch" came out, and they rocked the place.

I dont understand the need to dress a certain way just because you listen to whatever. THats fucking lame. Never did it, never will, Otherwise id look more retarded than i already do. Being part of a click is fucking hassle. If you dont look like them they dont like you. Me and all my friends are all freaks and always have been. Nobody looked too much like anything really. Plus trends are fucking expensive, black hair dye isnt cheap :P

Especially when the official uniform store of emo is Hot Topic.

I got a Boondock Saints T-shirt there, $20 fucking dollars. The only reason I paid so much is because I couldn't find it anywhere else.

[RobertK]

Dude Ranch = Best Blink 182 Album ever. I was a big punk ska listener in HS. Alot of LTJ, RBF, & MXPX

FTR - The lead singer of Fenix TX started a new band called Denvor Harbor. Not as good as Fenix TX but still pretty good none the less.

Yes.

And for the record, I have plugs.

I have a real problem with all the 16 y/o fuckwits around my area who are into "metal" but can't tell you who Cliff Burton was, or why Lemmy should be president of the universe.

They also think that Brian Jones was the original lead singer for AC/DC...

Because they're sixteen bro. The Black album was already released before they were born.

There's actually a surprisingly decent resurgance of "mainstream" (IE: have a label) metal acts beginning to pop up. I'm surprised by some of the stuff that channels like Fuse in the US play after midnight.

[Iain]

But they're wearing Master of Puppets and Kill Em All t-shirts?!!?!?!?

I mean, I was born in 83, but I know who Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul-Jones were... then there's Jethro Tull, Keith Moon and Eric Clapton...

If you're going to wander around wearing the merch, at least know a bit about the fucking shit you're spouting!

[Ryan Stewart]

They probably think Jimmy Page is in Puff Daddy's band.

How about a list of 'emo' bands (and why they suck)

Blink-182 (they are partially responsible for this thread.)
Boxcar Racer (A better version of Blink-182)
Taking Back Sunday (same as below)
Story of the Year (same as above)
My Chemical Romance (same as above and above above)
The All-American Rejects (just horrible)
Sugarcult (same as above, just even more so.)
Something Corporate (more of the same old shit.)
The Ataris (made it big on a Don Henley cover, WTF mate?)
Fall Out Boy (could stand to never hear again on the radio.)
Relient K (gayest band evar.)
Weezer (it all went downhill after the blue album.)
The Postal Service (the original Death Cab)
Death Cab For Cutie (i wish they weren't in this catagory.)
AFI (sing the sorrow is a decent album.)
The Darkness (want to know where girl pants originated?)
Incubus (pick up girls from Hot Topic by mentioning this band.)
Eve 6 (yet to make profit on an album.)
Muse (like Radiohead, but emo?)
Good Charlotte (teh king of teh shit emo music.)
Green Day (no one honestly cares what their political views are.)
Halifax (good stuff, just started listening to it.)
Modest Mouse (not bad, not bad at all.)
Franz Ferdinand (even more annoying than Fall Out Boy)
Hoobastank (pepsi commercial defined the band.)
Jimmy Eat World (tolerable in small doses.)
Finch (AFI style screamo.)
Keane (average number of pussies per band member = 2.5)
The Killers (Hot Fuss was good two years before it was overplayed.)
Kings of Leon (more of the same crap.)
Linkin Park (Jay-Z called, even he thought the album sucked balls.)
The Mars Volta (overrated, just plain and simply put.)
New Found Glory (Finch with less screaming.)
Phantom Planet (debuted on the OC, then the emo kids got ahold of it.)
Reel Big Fish (ska has gone emo.)
Rooney (suffered the same fate as Phantom Planet.)
The Shins (yes, i know the Garden State soundtrack was good, dammnit!)
The Strokes (just a bunch of strokes i guess.)
Sum 41 (Blink-182 wannabies.)
Yellowcard (another miserable bunch of sellouts.)

Let me know if I missed any bands in there.

[WlknGenius]

I cry whenever I have sex. Does that make me emo?

[Iain]

Is it because your boyfriend uses mace?

[bimmer8604]

They were the definitive band of the 90's and their song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is right up there with "Stairway to Heaven" for greatest songs.

Wrong.

Nirvana will and never could be that good.

Emo sucks. Listen to some real music, not a bunch of super queer kids throwing a few chords together and yelling really loud about getting blue balls.
