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.
