Emo was originally short for "Emotionally Charged Hardcore Punk", but nowadays it's simply short for "Emotional". It sounds like really chaotic, electric, fast-paced songs with lyrics that make girls feel bad for the guy in the video. The singing is prominent and full of moaning and whining. To me, it's bands that are trying to get the sympathy vote, by making very messy and uncreative songs. Emo purists will tell you that My Chemical Romance is not emo, but they are the most popular band in that end of the pool.

Somebody will get angry at me for saying that, probably. Smile

Techno / dance didn't make the world a better place.
 
Don't know how EMO sounds, BTW.

I agree, except Nickleback has a rather good drummer, nowadays. Mr, what's his face, Adrian somethingrather.

I don't know anything about techno or rap so I can't vote against them, so... modern rock it is.

Nickelback, Wolfmother, Mika, Britpop et al are positively embarassing and I hope the people who play in these bands are ashamed of themselves. ;P

Most proggies have extremely high standards for music, especially outside of prog. I for one do. Here is a list of some of the musical genres I personally cannot stand (for the most part. There is always the odd exception).

Please note that I hate the term EMO. Loads of people give me crap for using that term, because official it is a dead genre, but that is the simplest term for them. I ho[e I don't upset anyone about that.
