What does everyone think of emo and emocore punk?

'Just do it, you'll be fine.' -My words to my friend Darius right before going off a 4 foot ramp we made to grind a baseball field fence. He ended up hanging upside down by his pants. Good suburban fun.
 
I love elmo

Mercer: drinking mans protein shake

Me: hahhhahahahaha

Mercer: sick ass

Me: That's the funnyest thing I've heard all day

Mercer: good make it your sig on ns.com faggot

Mercer: and hump the vacume while your at it.
 
What exactly is emo? Paul's always talks about it, so I never thought it could be that cool, but if everyone else is doing it...

''The dead don't die unless they fuck with I.''
 
Some emo is good, not to into the self loathing stuff. The pop punk bands being labeled emo isnt cool either...emo is starting to become waterdown for the masses. Soon like grunge it will be everywhere and destroyed.

ya, emo is the cool thing to do nowadays. i think its getting kinda played out, thanks in part to my sister who plays the same songs and cds over and over all day. im actually kinda sick of emo right now,and i used to listen to a ton of it, and now im listening to alot of rap (ya, i listen to a wide range of music)but whatever

Oh God forbid, not rap. Whatever you like I guess... Yah emo is becoming fairly popular and it makes me mad that local radio stations now play Finch. Some emo is just way too depressing (i.e. Dashboard, Get Up Kids, etc.) but a lot of it is good (i.e. Taking Back Sunday, Saves The Day, Finch, etc.). Although, Thursday sucks. As to the kid who posted, 'what is emo?', I ask if you have been living under a rock.

yeah it sucks that its getting super popular....but yeah finch, taking back sunday, starting line, yellowcard, rufio, brand new....they're all pretty tight

 
i agree with skifreeordie. also phantom planet and dashboard confessional are damn good but nothing compares to weezer, especially their first two albums

I wouldnt really say Weezer is emo. I loved their last album, Maladroit though, best one yet, followed closely by Pinkerton.

What is the colour of a mirror?
 
first of all, go back to russia cuz only comunists like new weezer better. pinkerton and the blue album are so good it makes me cry, and if you dont think some of the songs on pinkerton are emo, you arent listening to it

It depends on the mood, and there are plenty of times when i am in an 'emo' mood, or emotional mood. Just cause' I can relate to it. Some good emo bands are Saves The Day.(even though they are going too mainstream) Dashboard Confessional ('' '' '' '') The Get Ups Kids, 764 hero, Juliana Theory,Keepsake, The Promise Ring,Modest Mouse, Disel Boy, Jets to Brazil, The Alkiline Trio, Kids Eat Free,Anti Freeze, Further Seems Forever (with or without chris) That is just to name some of the more popular emo bands. Strong lyrics are what make emo bands good, but just remember there is other good music out there, don't get trapped in an emo prison.

Why has pop punk become known as emo? Just cause some kid sings about his girlfriend dumping him doesnt make it emo. Check out Rites of Spring...thats where it started, see what its really about.

I fucking love Emo.... ha ha... I didn't know it was popular either Erich - till I came back east and everyone knew the shit and stuff... meh. I guess living in whistler is like living under a rock.... but yea... Emo is diferent than Punk. well Punk is a very broad term and Emo does kinda fall into the punk catigory. but pop punk and emo are very different. Emo has it's roots in hardcore.... where pop punk came from some fucking dumb assed shit that was made just for little girls to like.... no no... Emo kicks ass. I would say some good emo bands are shit like Grade, moneen, hot water music, small brown bike, boy sets fire, always out numbered, poison the well, hopesfall, Compromise, the Get up kids, knapsack, digger, old Jimmy Eat World, weezer, dashboard.... fuck I could keep going for a long time. but yea.. emo is still a very broad Genre and there are some fucking amazingly tallented bands in there. I think pop punk bands are gona give it a bad name though... shit like a new found glory, and pretty much every band on Drive through records....

Emo's sweet, you can normally listen to it when ever, given if you are depressed you may want to stay away from certain songs.

I absolutely love emo and I am pretty critical on a lot of music, I guess the reason I like it is sometimes you can relate to some of the songs and theyre also pretty catchy.

If I had to describe Emo in one band name I would have to say The Get Up Kids but probably the best Emo group would have to be Juliana Theory, by far one of the most talented Emo groups out there, they just have such a dynamic way of presenting their emotions through music, by far the best

one time i was pissed at a girl and i listened to the same weezer song like 10 times in a row

emo is cool. BUT never go to an emo show because they are allways soo bad. Every one there is a nerd. Just look at weezer they make good music but they are the biggest fuckin nerds ever.

 
May I be the first to say, I hate Emo. Too much whining and crying. I can understand being sad about being dumped... but writing 13 tracks on it? Just go kill yourself instead, it's easier.

Just my $.02

planes mistaken for stars is more emo/core, since they scream, just to let you guys know. and i don't think that i would classify jimmy eat world as 'emo'. emo has changed so much since is began. real emo is like mineral, knapsack, stuff like that. now bands are proclaiming themselves to be 'emo' because its cool are something. they are just using the name, not playing the game.

 
Emo is supposed to have screaming breakdowns. Thats how it started out. It started from former hardcore guys playing a slightly more melodic song and singing personal songs. They screamed a lot. I think all these soft bands like Dashboard being called emo is stupid. Come on gay ass boy bands sing emotional songs but it doesnt make them emo and Dashboard and weezer are the emo equivalent of a boyband. I hate weezer, they suck. You can all yell about how great they are but they just piss me off. They arent emo, they may have been once apon a time but they arent any more. Fuck weezer, fuck dashboard, fuck saves the day...Hell any band on vagrant should be castrated so they cant reproduce.

A brave man will not live forever but a coward will never live.
 
Emo can really be broken down into diferent sub genres. there is your popy post emo shit with like every emo band that anyone knows... shit like jimmy eat world, juliana theory, dashboard, sunny day real estate, knapsack, like all that shit. and there is your hardcore emo shit that is really a lot like hardcore punk (not hardcore) where there is a lot of punk in it, but still super good melodies and emo lyrics... I think that Lifetime pretty much rule this catigory of emo. then there is your emocore shit like hot water music, small brown bike, jawbreaker, Grade, moneen. this stuff is really fucking good. singing and screaming vocals, with twin guitars... (no lead guitar).... this is my favourite kind for sure. Then there is the true emo stuff like Indian Summer, and a tone of little bands that never even released cds. it is all about the live show with this shit. and it is weird as fuck. basicly it involves the band starting out really quiet with soft vocals (often poetry and like inaudible shit) and it builds up to a point where the singer breaks down screaming and even crying and sobbing. it is really powerfull stuff. the only thing is that this kinda band usually doesn't record their music. or if they do they will do it with shitty old recording stuff and put it on a record that they will release them selves. meh. so there. that is basicly emo.

oh yea. then there is the hardcore shit that people might call emo. there is a grey area there. emo fans will call it hardcore and hardcore kids call it emo. I don't know. I like both. but stuff like hopesfall and compromise fall in there. I guess poison the well could too. but yea it is like definite hardcore, but with emo lyrics, and a lot of frustration and emo feel to it. I don't know. I am making a lot of this up.... but yea.

that was my rave on emo.

the end.

I am not really sure if weezer is emo or not. I would say that their second cd - Pinkerton is an emo cd. but I really don't think the rest really is. but yea it would get tossed into the mainstreame emo or pop emo or what ever it is called section...

i fucking love emo, its the best chill music and when you have a hard day its the best to listen to... and by far the best band is Dashboard Confessional... chris fucking cool and the music is chill as hell

in the words of my house:

Your not AKL... SO FUCK YOU!

 
I would never use the word best and dashboard in the same sentence. He is not exactly a good guitar player, doesnt have the best voice, and his song writing is mediocre at best. Plus he isnt even unique like everyone thinks he is. 3 years ago Project Kate did the same thing...she went on stage solo with an aquistic guitar. In between hardcore bands...now that is a tough audience to win over with a little wooden guitar. But she was by far one of the most amazing people I ever saw on stage.

fuck you RiverRipper first of all you don't go and say that shit and know what i like his music if you don't think its original sorry i don't hear a sound or lyrics like his... you don't like his voice fuck you, you don't like his guiter fuck you. want to piss me off dis dashboard, you know what? this is the music that keep me and my g/f conected in hard times it has helped me when i have had hard days. and as of late i have had enough shit happen to me and his music has really helped me.

in the words of my house:

Your not AKL... SO FUCK YOU!

 
then skierx im gonna be the first to back u up, emo is complete bullshit, loser guys crying about their girlfriends, dead people, and how much lifesucks, if they had the talent to make, why not be happier, its so depressing and lacks any energy, EMO FUCKIN SUCKS

 
emo is some good stuff.....but i get tired of listening to a complete emo cd unless im trying to sleep or relax.....im more for the emocore metalcore genre....a good clean mix is always good...some from autumn to ashes, hopesfall, shai hulud, atreyu.....or you can never go wrong when you have skycamefalling in the good old cd player

 
autumn to ashes is insane. they're great.

taking back sunday is coming next tuesday and i'm so stoked.

Whoever is posted at the top of this thread is happy. I guess if you're always happy you write happy music. If you're not happy you write music not so happy. I write music, and each song is a direct reflection of how I feel at that time. Music is to convey emotion. It fails if it doesn't, in my opinion anyhow. So if I'm sad I put on sad music. Or vice versa. Regardless, emo music, as much as I hate saying that, has tons of emotion it it, something that is totally lacking in today's radio pop pap. So tune out and be happy! Nickleback is coming to a town near you!

I hadn't even turned around,pulled my pants down,or sat down.I was vomiting, pooing everywhere,pissing and crying all at the same time.
 
Autum to ashes is like emo hardcore or something... it is that stuff that hardcore kids call emo. and emo kids call hard core... I love that stuff. shit like hopesfall, or confine... yea confine were soooo good.
