I totally agree with the comment above and have pretty much said that on soEmo.co.uk - Emo Music.

It can be quite crazy when young people class obvious metal bands as emo though. Sometimes it might just be that they think the lyrics are 'emo'.

Emo?

I've been that way ........ since 1984

4th grade.... wow

I think it was Hüsker Dü........ who knows...... my music comes from my mom

She's a dream..... I remember Pink Floyd, Ziggy Stardust, The New York Dolls, Saxon, Kiss (could go on 4 days)..... and then it was silent

Jesus Freaks.......... but it happened..... she made sure.....piano, woodwinds, organ......... and finally a guitar in 1987

Emo?

Every band has an 'emo' song.....

Does it make you cry or feel like 'you'?......... duh

So it's emotional to you to hear 'that song'?

Good dumbass!!!........................................ Start your own band!!!

If your music moves you ............. it's probably 'emo'. Who really cares if a band is 'emo'.......... just listen and stop trying to put our feelings into a 'box' that we can't open. I hear songs from GnR, Megadeth, Loverboy, etc. that could be 'emo'...... yeah sit on it.... I got more..... uhhhhhhhhh? Bryan Adams?

Emo?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Do your homework and you will see that we are ALL EMO!!!!!

Not sure if I fully agree with the above post because even though genres are subject to so much debate and pointless is some people's eyes, 'emo' is an actual genre (with specific characteristics).

I wouldn't say every band has an emo song because emo doesn't just mean emotional. If you claim "emo" meant "emotional" it then becomes an all encompassing word. It becomes extremely vague and it has no limit as to what it can describe.

[I H8 MY LYF but i dont cut]

MCR (My chemical Romance) are NOT an EMO band, Avenged Sevenhold might be but not MCR.

lol im listining to MCR and Avenged Sevenhold right now, oh and Jay-z AND Linkin Park.

[soEMO.co.uk]

I am not disagreeing, but why do you personally think MCR are not an emo band?

[I H8 MY LYF but i dont cut]

I am not disagreeing, but why do you personally think MCR are not an emo band?

[soEMO.co.uk]

At the end of the day everyone has different opinions and is entitled to them. I mean what would people class the following as for example (certainly not all emo IMO):

Bullet For My Valentine
Bring Me The Horizon
October Fall
Underoath
Silverstein
Brand New...etc etc

Many bands can fit into a mixture of genres.

[crazyboy]

im just wondering but how long will emo be around before evey one forgets or will it grow????????i think it mite grow but since there suicidal but the gas keeps goin up there mite be growing from the pain of trying to keep a house and get around with friends so there a confusing thing that i can't find out.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[soEMO.co.uk]

The 'emo' scene is still growing and evolving. Eventually there will be a new popular term/genre that will take it's place.

dont ever put punk with emo, emo is for slit the wrists faggots who cry while punk is awesome, mostly street punk and old school!!!

Hey,not all emos cut ok?I'm emo,and one of my friends is too...but she's the one that cuts,not me.And we don't cry 24/7. I agree that punk is awsome,but you got the wrong idea of emo. Emo is short for emotionaly HARDCORE.Or just short for emotional,or emotionally unstable.It all depends...it can be all of em too. So don't get the wrong idea

[xXxFull_Shadowed_MoonxXx]

My problem with emo is that stereotypical emo's tend to be annoying, look like plebs, dress like plebs, act like plebs, most of them are depressed, which they put on for attention. I dont like emo music, cause people scream in it too much, and the songs arent exactly upbeat.

And if you think funeral for a friend are dedicated you can thing again, absoloute twats when I bumped into them, fames gone right to their heads.

We don't look like plebs,or act like them.we dress and act like normal pple too ya know. we all put on our shoes one at a time.And we aren't depressed for attention. Everyone has problems in there life sometime right?

[soEMO.co.uk]

Those into the emo scene get mocked by people who know nothing about it and don't bother to understand it. Find something better to do. The media is partly to blame.

[spongebobbaby]

I'm still no closer to finding out what emo actually is - but then again I still can't figure out the difference between rock and rock n roll.

Go read This Book
It helped me understand really well

[xX-Heather-Xx]

Okies...
Personally I hate people that bag other people from their whatever 'clique' 'stereotyping' Its annoying and not very fair on that person. 'Emo' is just how some people deal with things and the way that they want to be. Bagging people because of rumours, what they wear or even how they act, has never been nice. Ever.
And for the record. Not all 'emo's' Cut. :\ That is annoying thing people say all the fucking time. They dont all cut. Pschhhhh...
Its realy dissapointing that people actually have gotten so low that they feel the need to bag people that are different.
And like... 'Emo' I mean come on. 'Emo' people are the coolest people ever.
I am calling them 'Emo'
I think I am being hipocritical...
Hmm

[soEMO.co.uk]

I agree with what you are saying Heather even if it is a little off topic. There are lots of discussions about the emo scene on www.soemo.co.uk

Maybe I am not in with the current emo scene so much at the moment, but there don't seem to have been many defining emo's bands recently.

Can anyone think of any decent bands that can be classed as emo that have formed recently?

[Undenry09]

I like how everyone calls Nsync and the Backstreet Boys gay, but when we were kids, they were the 2 most listened to bands of our time. Really dont see what changed about them other than they stopped recording for a while and the other split up.
