View Full Version : No Such Thing As "Emo"!!

Ok so i'm havin one of those "stoned out my brain" thoughts, and it is this....
Theres no such thing as "emo", the stereotype that some folks seem to fall under, mostly through the music they listen to, why do i think this i hear you ask?.....
Well the answer is this... emo is from the word emotional, as in emotional music right, ppl classed as emo's typically listen to what is considered emotional music but... all music is emotional, the purpose of any type of music is to stir an emotion, be it happiness, sadness, anger, hate, love etc. so therefore no-one can be called an "emo" simply because everyone listens to emotional music, music is the embodiment of emotion, everything from Britney Spears to Nirvana to Beethoven (dunno if thats spelt right lol) so therefor.....
There is no such thing as "emo". :D :stoned: :stoned: :rasta: :dance:

well i take it u like slipknot.... call it a hunch, lol
anyways even slipknot provoke anger and hate by their music, not sayin that listenin to it will make u go postal in the local newsagents, but their music is all about hate and anger of what i've heard from them anyway, i mean, mick thompson has HATE down the neck of his guitar, anger and hate are emotions too :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :D :rasta:

yea i know that, it's not the fact that i don't see how music could induce emotion, it's the fact that i don't really have that much emotion for anything, usually i just listen to music because i hate silence, or because i'm bored, or because it trips me out when i'm high. godsmack however, does make me want to get up and fight.. it can bring out the anger in me.... very easily sometimes....

your very right, every last oneof us listens to emotional music. However emo has gotten its name/distrinction. From the kids awalking around in all black, wearing only "emo" clothes, and always being "depressed" about bullshit, which is why they have earned such lable. I dont listen to all eyes on me, then go cry n write n my diary, i go kick ass in css. however little johnny over here, might go listen to . . . dashboard (off top o my head) n then go make out with lil timmy cuz he depressed his g/f left him cuz she "doesnt need another pussy ;) ".THAT is emo. lol.

wouldnt that make them "Goth"?

well if we're on the subject of labels, technically that would make you a "computer geek", not that thats bad, i quite often take out my frustrations in a game, but much prefer to write a song about whats troubling me, thats just my way of dealing with lifes many problems.

i get that, but some ppl have mistaken me for a goth just because i wore black clothin, not like big coats or anything like that, just a black sleeveless shirt, like a t-shirt but but ya know a shirt with buttons (wore it open with a t-shirt underneath), and black trousers and white trainers, and ppl would ask me "whats with the goth gear?" and i was like "wtf i'm not wearin goth stuff, just happens to be black clothing" lol, i just hate labels and stereotypes, theres more to a person than the category they fall into. :rasta:
Peace :thumbsup: :stoned:
goth isn't about clothes, and especially not color (tho everyone seems to think so) it's a perception on life, and how you view it.
yeah I agree that the word Goth is over used.....and very unapropriate in some cases...so what some people like to wear make-up and black....that doesnt really mean they are a goth, does it.
But imo labels are shit!! people shouldn't see people for what they wear and just judge them on that.....people should be allowed to wear what they want and not be judged by it...
i know someone is thinking well surly they wear that because they want to be labeled and put in a certain category.....but maybe they just like the clothes?
and yeah there are people who wear clothes to fit in with the "in" crowd.....but hey people should just ignore people who do this....it's their choice and they shouldn't be given shit for this........if you get what i mean....

you guys are all retarded and need to listen to way better music, immediatley.
in regards to the original post: wow. what an original thought. and also, way to completely miss the fucking point. nobody talks about emo as a musical genre anymore. emo has evolved to describe fashion way more than music, because emo has been bullshit to begin with. emo means fucking nothing, it means bad hair and tight pants, lame riffs and twatty convulsive lead singers, fat chicks and horn rimmed glasses. its about this whole fucking leigon of badly-dressed idiots whining together about stupid shit and "out-scening" each other. it has noting to do with the bands or the music, it has to do with the number of "kiss me i'm vegan" pins one has on their fake-leather messenger bag.
fuck all of that scenester fashion bullshit and fuck you too for caring so much about it that you had to make some lame post about how "all music is emotional i'm so insightful blah blah blah"....you're just as shallow and misinformed as those fashioncore losers you're trying to mock.

we shouldnt even dignify the emo race with a thread about them. they're the direct opposite of "decent".
like i said, if you feel like arguing, i dont care...because i'm right.

not to sound judgeing, it is your opinion, and i completly respect that.
But IMHO i think you need to sit down stfu, smoke some pot and chill. Learn some respect for other people, if you think that thread is so lame and shitty hit the back button, but you obviously lack the ability. Again it is your opiion and own choice to spread ignorance as you have, just realize the image it presents for you as a young lady. Do what you will :rasta:
i saw this cuz you obiously have some problems and anger issues, that SERIOUSLY need dealing with.

also, if you don't want to dignify it, don't post in it... all you're doing is keeping the thread around... face it, you just want to start shit with people, and people who only come here (or other msg boards) to argue, are pathetic losers
go smoke a bowl or something and calm down, a thread on emo is nothing to get your panties in a bunch about...

Laugh My Fucking Ass Off
I love this post.
I figure that emo kids get stereotyped because they want to be known as emo. Say... If some kid's girlfriend breaks up with him so he writes an entire acoustic album devoted to her while simultaneously cutting himself... I'd say he's pretty emo.
Ahaha, that made me think of a Cannibal Corpse song
"You mark your skin, it gives you pleasure
I take your precious art, it becomes my leather"
Take Cannibal Corpse: Angry music? I suppose anger is an emotion... or is it that I'm just a fucked up individual that likes it. Is that an anti-emo emotion?
...I'm too high for this.

ok all i read was the title and i came up with this response:
You obviously haven't mastered the English language yet because you can't change the definition of a word just because the word has a different definition than what it's meant to represent. There is a town called flagstaff but the town is alot more than a flagpole. also our capital is phoenix which is a bird of fire, its named that because its hot and in the middle of a fucking desert. Those are just crude examples, "Emo" can be used to describe a large group of people, who may wear black clothes/ makeup, listen to shitty music, act depressed even though most of them come from 6 figure income families who have never had to deal with hunger or suffering.
But my point IS: Who really gives a shit about emo's anyways!

i don't know what an emo really is... but this makes me hate them already... if they truely are people who basicly had everything they needed, and still act all depressed and blah blah.. yea fuck them... i know someone like that, well knew online... he came from miami... and tries to make it out like some people aren't poor, i tell him the things i dont' have that he has and he calls me a liar. supposedly he found a website that gave all the property values for my area... tried to convince me this house is worth atleast 75,000 and that if we didn't have money we wouldn't be living here... there's not a house within a mile of here worth more than 25 or 30...

my folks run their own bussiness out of our house, we recently moved, to a big ole home 400K+ were leasing it. The house we orignaly came from, is a piece of shit compared to this one, and went for 26K back when my folks paid for it, if you sir, live n an area, where the houses are STILL going for 30K-, no offense sir but its a shit hole, n no house is bigger then a chicken coop. obviously i have pulled this info straight outa my cornhole, cuz i have no fucking clue where you live, iam going off of genralizations, for moderen house costs, no matter where you are at, cuz currently, the house that i used to live in that was originaly bought for 26K would go for 80k now give or take 10, due to living increases, cost of living, and yadda yadda over the past 30 yrs. So it wouldnt be too terribly wrong, to consider your house in the 70k+ range, as iam sure, you dont live in a shit hole or slum.

Exactly. Ever heard of modern rap?
I, personally, have something against the entire emo viewpoint. Somewhat because it breeds apathy and little girls (big word and stupid term, great mix) . Regardless, I think emo has about as much to do with its music as does rap.
Think about it this way,
If poor kids are supposed to be hard and act like gangsters (taken from the rap genre) then what is left for the rich kids? They can either pretend to be poor, hence wiggers, or they can own up to the fact that they are neither hard nor poor, and are an entity that is struggling for attention in its own way.
Of course, it's nothing more than striving for attention, but then again, that's really what every teenager wants.

No, there's a difference between a person who was born in the upper class to a six figure dad and a trophy wife mom who spends all her time shopping, so that kids just happens to wear some preppy clothing, and an emo who goes out of their way to buy clothes that make them look like losers. I've known and hated people before and after they "became emo."

Run your mouth when Iā??m not around
Itā??s easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing you song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

you guys are all retarded and need to listen to way better music, immediatley.
in regards to the original post: wow. what an original thought. and also, way to completely miss the fucking point. nobody talks about emo as a musical genre anymore. emo has evolved to describe fashion way more than music, because emo has been bullshit to begin with. emo means fucking nothing, it means bad hair and tight pants, lame riffs and twatty convulsive lead singers, fat chicks and horn rimmed glasses. its about this whole fucking leigon of badly-dressed idiots whining together about stupid shit and "out-scening" each other. it has noting to do with the bands or the music, it has to do with the number of "kiss me i'm vegan" pins one has on their fake-leather messenger bag.
fuck all of that scenester fashion bullshit and fuck you too for caring so much about it that you had to make some lame post about how "all music is emotional i'm so insightful blah blah blah"....you're just as shallow and misinformed as those fashioncore losers you're trying to mock.
fyi i wasnt trying to mock anyone, and i never asked anyone to agree with me, but i see alot of pointless stupid threads about shit less interesting than this one.
