If you want the [B]Real Hard Core, look for bands such as:

Black Flag.
Bad Brains.
Minor Threat.
Discharge.

Right off the bat, Five great bands. Something you'll be hard-pressed to find among the "Screamo" Garbage. [/B]

what a stupid post.

here we go, off the bat ill give you 20 brilliant screamo bands:

Raein, Saetia, Neil Perry, A Plot to blow up the eiffel tower, pg99, 1000 journeys of jarwarharlal, the kodan armada, hot cross, danse macabre, what price wonderland?, circle takes the square, heroin, cowboys become folk heroes, Wow Owls!, Funeral Diner, City of Caterpillar, Hassan I Sabbah, I Robot, Kaospilot, Love Like Electrocution.

What a stupid Genre of music. Your referring to a style, renowned for such lyrical brilliance as "RAWWWRGH", "ARRRRRGH" and we cannot forget the Classic "BLAAAAH". Great stuff, truly.

And, the second part of my post was pointing out that your beloved screeching, known as "Screamo", has absolutely NOTHING to do with Hard Core. Followed by excellent examples of true Hard Core.

I think my post was actually quite constructive, unlike yours. Which in Lieu of an argument or statement worth my attention, contains instead an insult. truly Mature.

you truly are ignorant... both in your first point and your second.

first of all, Emo came from Hardcore, Screamo is a facet of Emo... see the connection there?
Screamo does have screaming vocals, well done for picking up on that *seal claps* but vocals are used as an instrument, if you dont like it, dont listen to it... but don't listen to it quietly.

as for lyrical genuis... lets have a look shall we?

I am the horizon.
I have dreamed of tracing rings around this world.
My arms are stretched to forever.
My fingers shake with the fear of control.
The fear I know you all know so well.
We all lay claim to our destinies.
Yet we all rise and fall with the current.
Saetia - Postlapsaria

raar raar indeed.

Yes, You can trace a lineage indirectly from Hard Core to "Screamo", but noting the painfully obvious lack of any real similarities between the two, I believe that point of yours is moot. It's like comparing England and Ethiopia. Yes, both were once controlled by a civilisation centered in Italy, but that is where the common-grounds end.

Very good! *Pats you on the head* Out of an entire Genre, you can produce one example of comprehensible Speech. Commendable. Although I daresay there is hardly a hint of Brilliance in that Verse. It sounds like something I've heard depressed children mumble to themselves.

And if you are going to make jabs at people's Intelligence, and throw names around. I simply ask, do so with a tad more Creativity.

Lastly, I will avoid listening to it at whatever level of Volume I choose. And there is not a bit you are going to do to change this.

i made the link because it showed that noone has said Screamo IS Hardcore, if you read back everyone has said Screamo COMES from Hardcore. /end

See, this second bit just proves your ignorance of the genre, it's renowned for having overly poetic abstract lyrics... that was merely me choosing one of my favourite's as example and the fact that you have the misfits in your signature and ***** about lyrics is quite funny... if you want me to pull up the lyrics to a bunch of other songs i can...

why be creative for fear it would be wasted on them?

I said don't listen to it quietly as in you being quiet about it.

please, if you'd like to tell me which of the listed bands you've heard, and the albums you listened to... and then explain what parts of the music you didnt like, id then beleive you have a clue what you're talking about.

When has it been said that Screamo is Hardcore?

Wow, took me long to spot that on again.

Now, what precisely does The Misfits have to do with the current discussion? And If you honestly take Danzig Era Misfits Lyrics seriously, I have lost whatever faith I initially had in your "Lyrical Expertise".

Ignorance in the Genre? It's not a Genre with a Reputation of Poetics, it's a Genre steeped in Guttural howls. They may have began their lives as Text-based Poetry, but by the time they've been through the singer's Vocal Chords, they are indeed, generally reduced to a level of undecipherable crap never before heard. So keep giving us the original Lyrics. How about some MP3 Files for REAL proof. Hmmm?

And I know what your comment meant, I was stating in response that I will continue to voice my opinion. Despite whoever's Opposition it may come unto, short of a Moderator.

Lastly, I do not need to make you believe anything. I do not need to prove my Ideas, Opinions nor thoughts to you. So I do not intend to. I have stated my position. Deal with it.

if it's never been said, why did you feel the need to be so defensive in your initial post?

The Misfits have to do with this discussion because you're bitching about shit lyrics when Misfits have awful lyrics alot of the time.

see your next paragraph also proves your ignorance... it is a genre with a reputation for poetics and abstract lyrics, you just dont have a clue what you're on about and would rather stick to what you think it's about.
Screamo has screaming in it, oh dear god what a shocker, if you dont like that thats fair enough... but to try criticise the lyrics behind it purely because you dont like screaming vocals is stupid. why give mp3 examples when we're talking about LYRICS?

well if you dont want to prove anything to me, ill stick with my initial opinion that you're completely ignorant of the genre and have made a sweeping accusation based on minimal exposure... care to prove otherwise?

actually... care to provide me with a section of music provided via one of the bands on your list that you'd consider to be technically brilliant, or contain earthshattering lyrics?

I'm still getting a chuckle at the idea of Minor Threat as hardcore.

Them of course being one of the first true emotive hardcore bands (Emo, for those watching at home).

From what I gather, the only real Reason Ian & Gang get classified as Hard Core, is due to the Time in which Minor Threat became Popular. Thats simply the way things work, however.

What, Precisely is it, that you claim I am Defensive of?

First, I'm not "Bitching" about poor Lyrics. I am voicing my opinion on Poor lyrics. Just because you are a hothead, gives you no reason to forget common Decency. However, As I went out of my way to make clear, The Misfits most certainly do not have inspiring lyrics. And I Never suggested they did. Nor, do they have any relevance to the Topic at Hand. Drop the Misfits already.

Thats the thing, however. I am doing nothing of the sort, because Screamo Does not have some incredible reputation for being full of lyrical strokes of brilliance. I have had discussions regarding Screamo with people, and to be blunt. You are the Only person to make such erroneous claims. Thats a rather odd Coincident. But naturally, they are all incorrect. Whereas, you are not? Hmmmm?

And taking it upon yourself to repeatedly make claims of my ignorance, do nothing to change the fact that I'm not without experiences with "Screamo". To be honest, I am not the type of person that blindly makes judgement upon things without first attempting to like it. At least not in music.

Yes, I dislike the Bloody Screeching. But It is possible for me to dislike the lyrics at the same time. In any event, it's impossible for me to enjoy the music, when to come to a conclusion as to what is being sung, I have to look up lyrics Online. That is ridiculous, what is the purpose of an artist pouring their creativity into a song that WILL NOT BE UNDERSTOOD?

Hmmm, a list eh? Of some of my Artists, eh? Well, here is a few that are on this Playlist.

John Lennon, Johnny Cash, Bad Religion, Stiff Little Fingers, Rage Against The Machine, A Perfect Circle.

Would you like some lyrics from one of these? Alright, We'll Start with Number One on the List, John Lennon.

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Alright, let us move on to, Stiff Little Fingers.

Nothin' for us in Belfast
The Pound so old it's a pity
OK, there's the Trident in Bangor
Then walk back to the city
We ain't got nothin' but they don't really care
They don't even know you know
Just want our money
And we can take it or leave it
What we need is

(Chorus)
An Alternative Ulster
Grab it change it it's yours
Get an Alternative Ulster
Ignore the bores and their laws
Get an Alternative Ulster
Be an anti-security force
Alter your native Ulster
Alter your native land

Take a look where you're livin'
You got the Army on your street
And the RUC dog of repression
Is barking at your feet
Is this the kind of place you wanna live?
Is this were you wanna be?
Is this the only life we're gonna have?
What we need is

(Chorus)

They say they're a part of you
But that's not true you know
They say they've got control of you
And that's a lie you know
They say you will never be

Free free free

Get an Alternative Ulster
Get an Alternative Ulster
Get an Alternative Ulster

And Finally, I think we'll end with Johnny Cash.

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

Hmmm, Satisfied?

First, why are you BOTH discussing lyrics? What the hell do they matter? Mindless Self Indulgence have shit lyrics mostly, but I'd still rather listen to them than probably either of your favourite bands (and I share tastes with both of you), who probably do have better lyrics. At least discuss the music.

Maybe you're talking to like-minded people who hate the idea of said music. The irony is that most "punk" fans or whatever keep saying how sucky emo is, etc, then they think they're the shit for listening to Fugazi or Minor Threat. Two of the first emo bands.

I don't agree with Df02, first off, about screamo being a legitimate tag. The music, fine, couldn't care less. The name itself I hate and don't recognise. I just think emo gets way too much wrongly attached stigma.

I know for a fact you hate anyone calling anything punk, nowadays. Even Green Day, who can at least have punk elements traced back. So I think it's a bit unfair that you pop off at him for defending a genre.

If you are trying too hard to focus on the words that one member of the band writes, then I suggest you re-evaluate your entire outlook on the artform we call MUSIC.

I love Converge, they are one of my favourite bands. Do I understand the lyrics being screeched? No. I don't care either, because I don't buy it to know the words, I buy it to listen to what they are all producing as a sound. If the lyrics are what you are interested in, stop buying CDs and book mark metrolyrics.com.

He was known for going on expensive personal splurges and massive self-indulgence. Hardly a consistent set of ethics from Mr. Lennon.

Hmmm, In your shoes. I would of assumed the same myself, however. I've actually had discussion of this with rather diverse groups of people. I guess It could just be a Diverse group of coincendeces that lead us to agree on much. And, I am a Fan of Minor Threat (Which I do disagree with you on the point of it being Emotional Core) and Jimmy Eat World. I have problems with admitting this either. As I have no problems With Emo. I've worked my way through the Morass of mainstream Knockoff bands that claim to be Emo, and have found the real stuff to be enjoyable. Obviously that, is not trashtalk.

No, I don't hate people calling "Anything" Punk. I merely strongly disagree with someone using an all but dead Name, on massively Mainstream Bands, for nothing but overwhelming Profit. Theres a reason The Buzzcock's Steve Diggle thought nothing of Greenday.

I don't try too hard to focus on the Lyrics alone. As a Drummer, I actually invest much time following the Percussion. I simply am a Fan of cohearant Lyrics. I find it enjoyable to know what a song is about by simply listening to it.

Well it can be argued whether Minor Threat are a punk band or one of the earliest emo(tive hardcore) bands, but both are accepted, so I don't see any point in pressing the matter. If anything, Embrace are/were Ian Mackaye's first true emo band.

The same for me and emo, then. The last wave of emo was bands like Clarity-era Jimmy Eat World, but that's long since gone.

I always maintain that it's much better to get what you want out of a song, unless it has some blindingly obvious meaning. That's up to you though.

From my point of view, it seems that you're not so much a fan of coherent lyrics, as you are not a fan of indecipherable vocals. I'm sure there are bands with vocalists who sing cleanly that you love, yet still have to look up the lyrics for to actually know what they say.

For example, Minor Threat had vocals that weren't exactly easy to decipher, due to the way Mackaye blasted them out, but the sound of his vocals clearly appeal to you. So it seems that the lyrical content isn't your problem, it's the way they vocals are delivered. You simply don't like screeching, which is nothing new, neither do millions of others. Just like there are people who don't necessarily find Johnny Cash to be that enthralling, and would rather listen to Grady Avenell or Jacob Bannon screaming their lungs up.

I like Johnny Cash, but I prefer Converge, just because that's what I prefer.

Yes, sometimes. However, there are times where I like to listen to something that requires me to not have to examine the Lyrics. To listen to music that simply, thinks for me. I don't know if that makes any sense to you.

But I essentially, can agree with everything in which you have just stated.

i happen to enjoy screaming vocals, like i said i just see vocals as another instrument creating sound layers in the song... if im really interested i look up the lyrics to the songs... but it ruffles my feathers when someone says lyrics are just rawwrh rawwrh, when 'true hardcore' lyrics on the whole are, just as bad/good (depending on stance).

And AC i use screamo because it's easy, yea it's lazy of me, but i really dont care haha... it's descriptive and easily understood, it seperates the style differences between say Fugazi and Heroin/pg99 who otherwise would both just be stuck under emo.

this is a general post, 'you' refers to noone in particular [/B]

Where did that person get all those bands from? I bet that's just one persons idea of what Emo is. Ok, so every one are like "Ahhh blink 182! burn them, they deserve to die!" but i think theyre awseome and in my world they count as Emo (and other bands too).
and also those bands on the website have really lame names like "i hate myself"? thats so stupid and cheesy!

no its quite clearly not one persons idea of what emo is... Emo is practically a dead genre and even when it was alive at its prime the majority of the bands were on independant labels, thats a list of all the bands that are genuinely Emotive Hardcore compiled together...

you think Blink 182 are emo, that's fair enough, you're wrong though Blink 182 are quite clearly pop-punk maybe punk on some records... but ive given up trying to convince people of their ignorance now.

Names arent really important are they though? the music they make is...

indeed, i was telling a friend how i wanted to get a "Am I Alive Or Just Breathing?" tattoo done and was told "that is SOOOOO emo." actually thats Killswitch Engage, and most of their fans would bite off your head for calling them emo...sorry, off topic, just point out Emo is like Punk, not something to be labled easily (if at all)

Originally posted by Df02

so, like i said... what screamo have you heard and disliked? im just curious now.

not satisfied really no, because i asked for portions of musical brilliance from the list you made earlier in the thread... ie the list of 'true hardcore'

That first comment makes little sense. They are thought to be Hardcore, Because they are thought to be Emo?

I have mainly heard what I have through a few friends that are rather big fan. One of them I'm actually hanging out with reletively soon, so I can get some names of things he has played while I'm around.

You never actually specified what lyrics you would like me to post. You simply said "your list" which is quite easily construed as meaning Playlist. Which I simply took to be a jab at my musical tastes. But, since you ask.

Black Flag:

THIS FEELING HAUNTS ME
BEHIND THESE EYES
THE SHELL SEEMS SO EMPTY
DOES ANYTHING LIVE INSIDE?

I WANT TO LIVE
I WISH I WAS DEAD

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK I'M STUCK HERE
AND I KNOW IT
I DON'T WANT TO SEE
MAKE ME CLOSE MY EYES

I WANT TO LIVE I WISH I WAS DEAD

I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
AND SEE IT'S ALWAYS THIS WAY
LIVE THE LIE AND TAKE A DIVE
JUST TO MAKE IT DIE

I'VE JUST GOT TO CLOSE MY EYES
I'VE GOT TO CLOSE MY EYES
I'VE GOT TO CLOSE MY EYES

Sorry about the Caps. Thats what the Document was in when I saved it.
