Emo Sucks!

but we'll not have to hear about it when all the little trendys find another music style to cling to

My thoughts exactly. You really have to watch them performing sometime, it's priceless😂

I saw them on TV, and he's quite a big guy, and he's got this big puffy hair and lip piercings and waves his guitar about like he's Pete Townshend, then he steps up to the mic and reveals to the world he was castrated at age 9. Good times.

but hes actually quite a decent guitarist, the band make music alot more impressive than pretty much every other band of their ilk and also manage to work their lyrics into 1 massive story. crappy vocals or not (i happen to think theyre ok) they deserve alot more respect than other emo bands

they dont moan cry or write poems either...bonus 👆

It's only the really mainstream 'emo' bands who those ****ers are following. Crap like Jimmy Eat World, Coheed, Taking Back Sunday etc. They will die a horrible death because they will go out of fashion. Real music fans like myself will still listen to the decent emo bands because we don't like them because they're 'trendy', we like them because they're good. I can't believe so many people have got such a problem with emo, I mean its not like it's getting shoved in your faces like hip-pop and Avril Lavigne. I'd be willing to bet hard cash that if half the emo bands of today dropped their singer but kept exactly the same kind of musical style, you guys would like many of them.

id hardly actually call Coheed mainstream crap...theyve released 2 video's as far as im aware, and only 1 of them was widely successful (a Favour House Atlantic) which i have to admit is a very annoying poppy song

theyre successful (the the emo sense), but id hardly call them mainstream in the derogaratory way i think ur trying to put it across as

EDIT: yes i will defend Co&Ca every step of the way 😛

dont want to sound like i dont know what i'm talking about (of course i dont know, i'm good at hiding it 😉) but wer'nt Jimmy Eat World arond well before people started using Emo as a term and had the trendys jump on their bandwagon?

Yeah, but not a very long time. Besides, they've been crap all their lives.

I know plenty of Coheed fans, and they are exactly the kind of trend whore fools that are making emo such a joke. It's cool that you're defending them, and I'm sorry I keep using them as bad examples, I just dislike them with a violent passion 😉

a band shouldnt be held responsible for its fans heh 😛
if people want to follow a band because of fashion that should be their problem, not the bands... the fact is that Co&Ca are hugely more talented than the majority of emo-trend bands... unfortunately theyve been sucked in tho 🙁

hmmm, i quite liked bleed america, but i havn't listened to them since then, from the sound of things its been a bit of a downward spiral

Maybe to you, but I just can't see that. They really don't sound in the slightest bit special to me, especially when you compare them to bands like The End Of Julia (who are IMO the most talented emo band around).

And that voice..it must annoy you just a little sometimes surely 😛

musically theyre on the higher end of the talent spectrum as far as the genre goes... and yea the voice can grate on some of the songs, but i like it..what can i say 🙂

Do you even have a valid reason WHY they suck?

You guys can't jugde the genre emo just by what you hear nowadays. I mean there's some great bands that were emo, like Joy Division.

Is Hawthorne Heights considered Emo?

but emo is only a recent title, Joy Division were around before the "genre" even exsisted

There's no such thing as "good emo". They all need to ****ing grow up.

Period.

How do they need to grow up? Wouldn't that apply to every band/singer in the world? Emo leads to other genre's aswell, so your not just telling emo in general to grow up.

Don't like emo. Kinda bugs me. I can tolerate it in SMALL doses.

When I say tolerate, I really mean I'd rather shave my skin off with a blunt razor and jump into a pool of vinegar, with floaters in it.

i think he is refering to that most of them whinge about crap in their music

what have GC got to do with emo?
