Opinions on emo

It's been a while since emo threads started popping up every other week. Has anyone invented a new troo genre yet or are all the cool kids just gonna switch back to listening to the purity of metal? :)
 
Poor strait times writers. I don't think they are saying that such bands encourages suicide, but they did mention that the "signs" of a suicidal kid is someone who most likely listen to such music.

Music with emo lyrics are nice, but in the mind of a depressed teen, it only feeds the depression, don't u agree?

As for the "emo look" it seems to be a thing of the past. What's the new trend now? I am losing touch!

Uncle ; )X
 
That Wikipedia mentioned two bands that I really liked a lot

Sunny Day Real Estate and Mineral

Anyone is a fan of Jeremy Engk's solo efforts?
 
dam the whole emo scene.

go listen to some real emo.

everybody thinks its cool to look emo.

from the ah bengs to the matreps to the pathetic trend followers.

the state of emo now just shows the power of marketing.

from mtv,myspace to even the straits times.


and for the last time emo is not making out with the same gender[i am not homophobic]
 
think we should all wear boxer shorts and singlet and slippers when we go out now. since everyone's wearing that "emo style" trend. :lol:

seems like no one gets the point.

let's put it in a clearer way.

cutting/slitting wrists does not = emo

people who wear dark colored clothes/have long fringe does not = emo

people who cut/slit wrists = attention seekers

attention seekers does not = emo

emo = emotional


hmmm

cutting/slitting wrists does not = emo (agree)

people who wear dark colored clothes/have long fringe does not = emo
(agree)

people who cut/slit wrists = attention seekers (agree)

attention seekers does not = emo (agree)

emo = emotional (disagree)

perhaps ur using too big of a word by saying emo=emotional
If my girlfriend breaks up with me. i could be emotional in a sad way
If someone insults me depending on the degree of the insult. i could get emotional in an angry sort of manner
If a loved one gives you maybe a hug. one could get emotional in a happy way

you,re bringing into the picture emotions. which is what everysingle person in this world has.

well in my opinion.
emo is related to depressed sort of feelings. but dont get my point mistaken. because i can be depressed that i failed a test but that doesnt mean that i,m emo.

its more like a forced depression.you could talk about being pessismistic maybe in a certain evolved way and taken to a higher degree.

Also another point would be about music. I think its a good idea to put emomusic and emo as a character as 2 different things. but theres no denying that a portion of emo characterism results from emo music themselves. The lyrics of songs. The image of the band. The things you relate the band with.Its the same for every genre


Note : i,m not talking about which musicians come to my mind or how to music sounds like. neither am i talking about what emotion the particular genre brings out. I,m talking about the actual existant things you can relate to
E.g ( well at least for my point of view )
If i say Rock you think : Headbanging
R&B , hiphop : blingbling
Jazz : lounges
Blues : i dunno why but for some reason i think of harmonicas
Metal : skulls
Reggae : palm trees

But when i think about emo. i think about blood

To a certain extent music affects the person listening to it. Combined with certain other factors e.g problems with friends , family etc. You get emo
 
i hate paul twohill coz hes emo..looks like a gaylord..no offense

but thats how most of us metalheads feel \m/
