I don't want this to sound mean at all, but just because someone has nice things doesn't mean they are happy. And stero-typing people (slitting you're wrists is not something all people who listen to emo do) is just causing more of a problem. These are very sensitive issues that shouldn't be thrown around and made fun of.
Yes, it is.. :stoned:Quote:

Actually, you're all wrong about the meaning of the word "emo". It stands for "emotionally-driven hardcore", a genre that a whopping zero (0) of the bands you've listed fit into. Emo in its true form was around way before the derivative shit that everyone listens to nowadays - most of that is watered-down pop-punk, something that doesn't even slightly resemble hardcore metal.
And before this one gets to be an issue, indie isn't a genre at all.
Why is it that people speak out against materialism (the whole "money can't buy happiness" thing) but then turn around and criticize those more well-off financially for having the slightest inkling of dissatisfaction? Could it be that they, themselves, don't believe what they're so eager to preach and are (gasp) jealous?Quote:

Only one band qualifies by that definition.Quote:

They're all right, it doesn't fit my appeal of music, but it sure beats bands like My Chemical Romance and shit.
emo kids are fucking crying for attention. if you havent noticed that, you're an idiot. if you have problems, the rest of the world doesnt need to know. and if anyone does need to know, its a psychiatrist..not all their myspace friends and everyone in town.Quote:

And, if you look at the labels those bands are on, they ARE mainstream
Anyone ever see that show, 'Munchies'? Well, on one episode, they had an emo band. These guys were fuckin' funny as hell. One of 'em says, "You know how most bands have one lead singer? Well, we're ALL lead singers!" Later on, he continued, "We're not musicians. We're an emo band." Lol, from the horse's mouth.
yeah right listen to some really emo you fucking idiotQuote:

How many 25 year old "emos" do you see running around?
This is why I hated highschool. This is why I became a loner (not be an individual, or any fucking thing) but to escape all this dramatic personal identity crisis bullshit that so many teenagers take so long to get over with. For me, it was around 4 months. 4 months of identity crisis.
I'm never having kids....
hahah so why wear tight black pants...(ouch) thats why there so fucked in the head cuz there cutting of the circulation to there balls
emo is a bunch of queer act'n people who couldnt get over the fact that they're queer, so they made a name for it
and tried to exploit it, and theres a bunch of "weak minded" people who follow them
dont be a follower, be a leader
thank you!!!!! :thumbsup:Quote:

See, pop music flips around...
Pop Rock, little kids singing and getting their 15 minutes of fame.
Pop boy band...guys singing love songs and getting their 15 minutes of fame.
Pop metal...a basic metal riff and a guy screaming evil things at the top of his lungs.
Pop rap...born the same time as pop punk; a guy or girl rhyming about life on the streets or what parties they go to or what laws they break
Pop punk A.K.A. Emo...punk calmed down to sing only about depression and random-ass things.
Anything with "Pop" in front of it is going to fall under corporate-cut guidelines and thus sound like every fucking other band in its genre.
I can tolerate emo once in awhile, but it's too repetitive for me to listen to it for longer than 10 minutes
Emo is real genre, its been around since the 80's, a lot of it is passionate and from the heart thats what music is about, right ?
And its not slowed down punk.
So stop with anti-establishment bullcrap already, its been said a million times before.
However people who dress "emo" are just sceney boppers with no sense of direction so they just follow the like you said "it's the corporate music of the day" except this is the corporate fashion of the fucking year. And its been going on for way too long.
We cant help it if they cant think for themselves until they grow up.
And yeah they look queer as fuck but people shouldnt put down what emo really was back in the day.
trivium suck
I saw a group of emos in town the other day, Standing round in a tattoo parlour going "yah im so totaly gonna get that" "omg im getting that" etc
wow really thats so interesting.Quote:
