Finch

Anyone else heard of them? I started to like them after I heard them on my friend's playlist.

I lumped them in with the whole wave of emo bands.

I purchased their new album off the back of the reviews saying how they had deviated and strayed from their roots and into a more heavier rock territory.

I've yet to hear it.

i got in a fight with a Kid who had on a Finch Shirt.....As for the music I've never really heard if but if what AC says is true and they're emo I Automatically Hate them.

Doesn't pay to be closed-minded.

Some people automatically hate Slayer because they're metal and "just noise".

If you know, why do you still do it?

Never quite understood that.

Makes sense.

Mmmmm.....one of my friends likes them a lot. I'm neutral towards them myselves.

Metalheads are known for being elitists. Being a metalhead myself, I can say this is very true.

I guess once you label yourself with membership to a group, you can't afford to lose face.

Prefer just being a music fan myself.

Same, I like a lot of different music and prefer not to paint myself into a corner with a label.

There's a difference between elitism and ignorance.

The trait displayed isn't elitism. Automatically dismissing something because of a label it - possibly unfairly - carries, is ignorance. Not elitism.

never heard them before, dont really feel like it since its classified as "emo"

So wouldn't you call someone a closed-minded idiot if they thought all Hip Hop was money and cars talk?

Not all emo is whining idiots. For every genre, there are originals. You'll come to find that most of what has come to be known as a genre, is as far removed from what it originally was as possible.

Now if I like this new Finch album, it'll be the second emo band (if they're still emo) I've ever been into aside from Jimmy Eat World. I've never hated emo to the point that I'd dislike a great emo band if there was one. There were just never any emo bands that appealed to me.

Like pop. If there's ever a genuine, honest, talented pop artist with integrity, that produces some songs or an album I like, I'll admit to liking them.

the thing is that I have yet to hear an Emo Band I like

I totally understand that, just saying that you shouldn't shut of the genre just because of a label.

Half the bands that get labelled as emo aren't emo at all and some that are, aren't all that bad.

Or, just stop labelling bands and listen to the actual noises emanating from the speakers.
