Define "EMO"

the only emo band ive ever benn able to get into is glassjaw
and poison the well if they are considerd emo

Death Cab for cutie is considered EMO, I think... I love that band
I like some other EMO bands ✅

I dislike most emo, but I love Glassjaw, and I also like Taking Back Sunday (not 100% sure if they're emo) and Boysetsfire. Apart from those three, it all sounds a bit disorganised and samey to me.

At The Drive In is considered emo somehow

Yes indeed they are.

From Autumn to Ashes...i think they are ok, Thursday i used to like.

BoySetsFire however is my fave...so are glassjaw.

well i've gotten a vauge idea, i still really dont know. all i know is that the cd shop i like in my states captiol that i like is alway full of the fans and they all look the same; jeans, check, carefully ironed Atticus shirt, check, checkered slip on shirt, check, truckers hat, check, whiney voice and sad attitude towards other music, check (that last one is how the people I see act, dunno what you lot get from them). and i dont know how all these people will go "bah blink 182, bunch of sellouts, no ones alloud to like them, but how good are Atticus." weirdos

An emo is a sad teenager (usually a boy) who has an almost bowl shaped haircut, and wears Rivers Cuomo glasses. He will wear tight fitting jeans, along with a T Shirt of an indie band (or Modest Mouse).

a real emo would never wear atticus.

Definition of Emo.....

Emo - Crappy music in which the lead singer whines about how his daddy made him clean his room and/or grounded him for smoking/staying up past cerfew ect. Also the lead singer usually wears those lame box framed glasses even if their sight is 20/20 because it's the trademark of the genre.

Also known as the "Shit" genre.

kinda odd, but well put i must say

Besides the glasses thing...you're pretty far off

Not from what I heard. Also, most of the singers have a really high pitched voice, or squeal if you will, that enhances their ability to whine about being grounded as a kid.

well you've heard wrong then 🙂
Emo is ok, cant see why so many people have problems with it.

Emo stands for Emotional hardcore, which encompasses quite a large range just thru the name alone, pretty stupid isolating it to the pathetic preteen "waaa im grounded" thing.

hell, you've got a range from At The Drive In to Taking Back Sunday umbrella'd into Emo, pretty wide spectrum.

but it's such a broad description, there are heaps of bands that could fall under that catagory, defining them'd be hell hard

Exactly, which is why you can't stereotype Emo.

Yes you can, very easily.

You can stereotype anything, but that wouldn't make it true.

what's with all the emo-bumping recently?

I really couldnt have said it better myself

I dont even think i would use an emo CD for a coaster, my mug is far too good for that

emo-
genre of music:in which a young guy complains about his greasy skin and spots, jumps around a bit, and complains that his girlfreind wont sleep with him. Also, these annoying lyrics are expressed in a whiny voice and they sometimes break instruments at the end, trying to be rock stars.
