Emo does not stand for 'emotion', it stands for 'emocore', which respectively stands for 'emotional hardcore', which is a genre that was born in the 80's and has been dead since then.
All the awful mallcore and pop punk bands that spring to your mind when you hear the word 'emo' are not, countrary to the mainstream belief, emo. Thank you for your attention. |
I borrowed my Friends ipod in Study Hall yesterday ansd listened to Minor Threat. The first hardcore band ever. Their hwole discogpahy fits on one cd and its about a half hour long.
I was not that bad to be honest, It has been profoundly influential on a number present-day ahrdecore artists though.

I listen to a few bands unfairly given the emo tag (Sunny Day Real Estate, Bright Eyes, COHEED AND CAMBRIA (remember i sad "unfairly")) But i was never really full blown emo, even if i listened to Dashboard Confessional 3 years ago  |
One of My Friends who is huge Zappa fan, Listned to a C&C albums and disgorged his lunch on his discman after it.
As far as Emoo goes, the fail to understand the meaning of depression, they simply openely despondent becasue it is en vogue, not becasue they are genuinely sad.

Ok... so I'm not really... but that is me from last year^. Hahaha, I went emo for a day to piss off the emo kids. Now I know what it feels like to steam-roll your testicles... those pants were TIGHT. Hahaha... good times. One of my many senior-year high school pranks, but by far my best one. That became totally infamous. And an angry parent of an emo kid even called the school after I did it in protest. Never did get in any trouble for it, thankfully.

I tend to despise Emo music and Emo people, but there are exceptions of
course (in the case of People, the music is all bad in my opinion).

that's an amazing hand,
futhermore, i'm not emo.
and even futhermore, lots of music (progressive and non) has what could be considered (when taken into account with the "trend") "emo" influences and even some emo sound (a.k.a. the lyrics are just as depressing for King Crimson's "Epitaph" as they are for say Circa Survive's "Act Appaled"). If we take the music into account, there are "real" emo bands, and the newer "trend" emo bands. Personally, of the both I can enjoy some of it.
Here's a short example of some good, "real" emo-- At-the-Drive-In, Rite of Springs
And some good "trendy" emo: The Fall of Troy, YouInSeries, many of Anthony Green's (of Cicra Survive) side projects (such as The Sound of Animals Fighting) and Circa Survive themselves, and also Portugal. The Man, etc...
For both the list goes on.
So, even though the trend/fashion statement is kind of worthless, let us not disown the whole musical genres because of their tag. I am a MUSIC lover, I'll listen to anything, regardless of tags before I decide whether or not I like it.
I do not dress emo or keep up with the trend/fashion statement, but that's not to say I don't or cannot enjoy some of the music.
