EMO bands over here never get a gig.

One of the worse pop things amongst punk fans is the inane hatred of emo. Labeled "whiney crying music", when in reality ALOT of music comes under the emo genre, without being whiny at all.
EXAMPLE; former propagandhi bassist John K Samsons band The Weakerthans.

it is not so much i hate the music, but how much i hate the guys playing it. any guy in an emo band in my area is either a dickless ******* or a dickless *******... you take your pick?😛

i never really listen to Emo .. and i dont want to ..

I like emo...I like it because it's something you can relate to. And I think the people who say it sucks are too damn pussy to admit that it
s a great genre of music. Hell, even the Sex Pistols and The Ramones wrote songs about love. Some of the best bands I know could be classified as emo, and I have no problem with that.

i never got what EMO really is ... 😑

EMOtional...which, when you think about it, would describe almost every band ever. It's a very wide genre, or could be. Most people associate it with songs about, "wah! My girlfriend broke up with me!" but that's really not what it is.

Here's the type of music I like. -----------> ALL

That's bullshit. Nobody like ALL types of music. everybody has one that they prefer over another, and it's not possible to like all kinds of music....in my opinion, anyway.

its kidna true in a way .. there are so many types ..

This became a POP Thread 😛

pop?

pop punk...

what's wrong with pop-punk? I think it's a great genre. It's very upbeat and quick-tempoed, and most of the artists are very talented.

go there and make your voice heard!

Forgive me......I don't know what "emo" is....

When did this come about? There was no such thing as "emo" back when I was a teenager. The first I heard about it was about 3 years ago on the internet. I asked for some information on the subject but nobody would tell me when this genre came about, what the credentials are for being labeled in this genre, who some famous bands in this genre are, etc.

I've been to FYE, Sam Goody, Best Buy, etc..........none even have an "emo" genre section. I guess they've never heard of it either. I still have no clue what this genre is supposed to be. Is it some underground thing?

Any help some of you can provide would be appreciated. Educate me as to the subject.

EMO like satown said stands for EMOtional.

from my experiences with EMO i get that a emo band is usually 3-5 members large. they usually have a hardcore sound--alot of power chords, i cant think of a band that they might sound like--the lyrics are mostly about guys crying over lost loves and what not. hence the emotion. it actually came big when the Ska scene died down. its kind of like Ska little brother in a weird way because everyone who liked ska or even played it for that metter is into emo now.

i dont know if that is what your looking for, but that is what i get from it. i cant remember exact naems of EMO bands--i usually try to forget them-- but i do know that majority of the emo bands come from Drive-Thru records.

thanks for the help amlamp.......much appreciated. If anybody will give me specific bands to check out, that would be great also.

"EMO like satown said stands for EMOtional"

I got that part of it.....but all bands play emotional songs. Hell, Motley Crue played "home sweet home", Limp Bizkit played "My way", and just about every band from Metallica to Led Zepplin have played whiny songs/ballads about lost loves and whatnot............

I'm really just looking for what sets other bands apart from these groups that earns them the label of "emo"......and some band names so I can check them out and see what this genre is all about. I've honestly never even heard of it anywhere except the internet.....not at record stores, not on the radio, not on tv, nothing. I'm completely in the dark on the subject.
