Right, well what we I'm  reffering to when I use the word emo, at the top of this thread, is the household version. I just feel a responsibility to define the parameters of which emo I'm talking about, because you seem to think I'm talking about post-hardcore.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm just looking at the roots of the scene. I'm not going to say all punk rock bands suck just because of bands like NOFX and Blink 182. Its the same thing as generalizing the emo bands.

Between the first phase and the second and the music called emo nowadays, there are 3 distinct movements. It's not all the same scene. I don't believe you can make a path from what was sometimes called emo in the 80s & 90s and what is called emo today--as much as those people would like you to, you just can't and nobody is willing to give them that. Anyone can call themselves anything they want, but just because you call yourself something doesn't make it true that you are that something. What I hear is progressive slop that only harkens to pop bands like Herman's Hermits; today's "Emo" has nothing to do with post-hardcore, it's a totally different sound and it's of a totally different vien ethically.

I wish Ian MacKay would logg on and call you all kinds of names.

Ha-

Steve, you need to get "in on the killtaker", buddy. You're going to be "sitting in the waiting room" a long time.

Paul, Shut the Door. I've got a Blueprint and it seems like you're Two Beats Off. :)

"you've got a bad mouth", it was only a "suggestion". I'm going to bust "13 songs" over your head, don't make me have to use a "repeater".

Oh fuck it. Just "give me the Cure" and forget this whole thread.

God, I'm so "Inbetween days".

:laughing :happy:

Exactly. I guess Herman's Hermits were Emo too. Oh wait. What about blues? that's emotional too. Blues is Emo, all of it. And country? Yep. all Emo. JS Bach? Wow. we're all Emo kids and we had no idea.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yeah henry the 8th is quite an emo song.

but you are still neglecting to mention emo gangsta rap. and i know you love it. i know you do.

Posted

Yes, I love Emo Gangsta Rap. Humpty Hump was such a tendor yet hardcore man. I also remember back before rap when we only had greasy hippys and all of their emotion filled songs about loveing the one you're with or just sleeping with someone at random, no matter what they're on, because the damn war needed to end.

You are putting up a "Bulldog Front". I'd get into all this again with you...

But I wont make the same mistake. I know how much time that wastes, and function is the key.

Hey, you ever been to "A Forest"?

There you go again, "push"ing the "fight", on "a night like this".

I may be guilty of being white, but that's about it. You're screaming at a wall. "think again", it doesn't look that way to me "in my eyes". I'm not your stepping stone.

I hope we can look back and laugh at these salad days, but right now "I don't want to hear it", I'm seeing red.

LMAO

When I wake up in the morning

My mouths all parched and dry

And I crawl to the refrigerator

and I look inside

And it feels like someone is digging nails

into my head and eyes

and I'm hoping and I'm prayin'

I hope there's one more beer.

More Beer! More Beer!

Yeah...um It's an American Heavy Metal Weekend?
