What is "Emo"?

[Kai]

Oh yeah, and...

That song 'Ska Sucks' by Propaghandi is the ultimate in irony because they meant it to be ironically funny (ska band singing a song about ska sucking lol!) but it just turned out to be true, which increased the irony levels and that, in turn, increased the hilarity levels.

I like Ska...its happy music. No matter what they're singing about it always sounds upbeat and happy. You could be singing about how your dog died, mom got ran over by a pickup, and you dropped your beer (basically a bad country song), but if it was Ska, it'd sound happy. Don't get me wrong I love punk, hardcore, metal, Oi!, etc. too....I just love all kinds of music.

Ska sucks.

you suck at life

ska at least dont talk about killing them self and how their life sucks and all that emo crap.

ska is get out of your seat and jump around stuff that makes you happy.

listen to reel big fish's turn off the radio cd. thats ska and is really good



well emo is getting out of hand at school. everyone at my school is like dressed up in green day crap and i the sloppy hair due's are really the statment in our school. everyone has the long skater emo hair thats kinda like a mop top.

it's just an other fad in my eyes

after this people are proabably going to get into hardcore punk and everyone is going to start dressing up in checkerboard slip on's and mowhawks wareing minor threat t-shirts and tight pants

Dude.

Greenday is not emo. Get things straight.

I hate emo, but most people who talk bad about it don't even know what it is. 'Long skater emo hair' is the least sensical statement ever.

Also, tight pants = almost every indie scene. And as far as I can tell, everyone is already wearing them.


'how can you hate reel big fish and suicide machines and streetlight manifesto?'

Because they aren't good. I never liked ska, even when ska was the thing to like. It's just lame music.

[quik]

The Unicorns suck.

Hahahahahaa.

I think that you shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion without a basic grasp of grammar.

Just sayin'.

Ahahaha, oh man, I got a screenshot of that one. Looks like you're going on a little vacation. Too bad it won't be long enough.

Sure you don't. I mean, cutting out sections of a wall gets expensive. But that's okay, here on AO, we bring the vacation to you.

Emo, Ska, Punk, Metal, Hardcore, Metalcore.... mostly just a buch of kids wearing a uniform. And, if any pictures of them are taken, they will later be used by their parents to shame them before their girlfriends/boyfriends.
Honestly, I used to like a lot of the bands that are consodered Emo. Not so much anymore. Usually they soud great and awsome then, as the trend develops, it becomes a contest to see who is the most... whatever.
I can't really figure it out. I love hardcore and metal music. But, I know that it will die off soon as the look has arrived at Hot Topic (may the owners of Hot Topic burn to death in a french fryer.) But, like I said, it's going to die off soon, and then we will wonder just what in the in the nine hells the next wave of depressios problems will be. Problem is that the music is Ok then it becomes a look and an attitude. I can't count the number of time some idiot with liberty spikes has poked me in the eye with his hiar at a show.
It's funny now, because it's all starting to sound the same. I mean, four or five years ago when I first got into the whole hardcore/metal/metalcore/emo thing I thought it was the greatest thing in the world, and I did not have to wear a Bon Jovi shirt or pink or dye my hair black with a red/pink fore lock. Now the woth thing has become a uniform for kids to wear. I'm growing tired of it. And the funniest thing is that all of these bands that come out every ten minutes, the only ones that will still be recording in the next few years will be the ones that were there first.
Arrrrgh, I remember when (ye Gods, I sound old) the whole Alternative thing hit back in the early ninties. we looked like idiots. The ultra baggy clothes, ratty hair, the glasses, etc. I just was lucky that I managed to get out of it before I got any dumb tattoos relating to the whole shoddy scene. Then the next thing was that whole "Punk" thing. Ironically enough, there are very few bands that managed to come out of that with their contracts intact.
I'm just wainting for the whole thing to wind down and for there to be "The Beast of Emo/Hardcore/Metal/Metalcore comps sold on late-night TV.
It's just strange because I love a lot of music. I have everything from Hatebreed to George Clinton to Converge to Thelonious Monk to Black Daliah Murder to the Dropkick Murphys in my 'travel binder o' CDs." I just get tired of people trying to "look' like the music instead of just enjoying it.
