They don't have any attitude or statements to make. It is a marketable fashion. Instead of dressing in chill clothing, they buy the opposite kind, but it is still a fashion trend. Sort of to be "part of the click".

I view them as goths without guts or attitude.

And the music? All the bands sound just like the other ones, and they seemed to have jumped on the new trend too. Fast money for the kids who buys that.

I've seen a few Emo bands opening for other acts and we were all like "wtf is that" Is it supposed to be good or get to you or even stimulate you to a point? Nope not at all.

And because it is a fashion trend, it'll go away, in a near future, just like all the others.

I mean, glam metal was hot in 1987 and it died. Grunge had all their Nirvana copycats after Kurt went away.

And if you bet 20$ with an Emo that he'll kill himself, either you break even or get 20$ richer! Music is supposed to move you, not depress you.

i was on the brink of suicide back in april. i dont like talking about it. lots of shit happened back then. but there was one band in particular that helped me through it. and i saw them last night.

it meant so much to me.
their music inspired me. made me happier. not the opposite.

You are the flaw in the pattern.

The problem is, a lot of the emo music you guys are talking about it MTV shit, but if you listen to some of the less known bands, they're a lot better than shit like Fall Out Boy, or My Chemical Romance, which I hate.

Alright, let's put it this way, what do you consider an "emo" band.

emo = "weezer", "dashboard confessional", "getcape,wearcape,fly"

"scene" (what nubs think emo is) = my chemical romance, the used,

pop punk = fall out boy.


i believe i win the prize.

Well considering I already karma'ed you, I guess I can't give you anything else.   But I guess that's considered emo, I listen to less known bands so I dunno.

lol. they're the ones that people are more likely to have heard of.

no point in putting bands names here that people aren't likely to have heard of already.. it'll just automatically get them rejected as decent music in the minds of the nubs here.

Emo bands might be some of these : AFI, Alexisonfire, Coheed, Funeral for a Friend, Hawthorne Heights, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Senses Fail, Story of the Year, Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, Thursday, The Used, Underoath....

and AFI i think you cant be more emo than that, with all that makeup and goth wannabe and fashion victim.

Basically, bands that we will no longer hear about within the next 5 years, the time for this trend to fade away.

They don't have enough attitude to be punk, and not enough to be goth. And they fuckin cry when they listen to their music. Just like sad country music! w00t

*Gasp* you mean.....possibly doing something physical to him.  I don't think this guy has the balls to do that, if he wants to hide behind the anonymity of the Internet.
