And can you do it without using Wikipedia?

rofl. I've NEVER used wikipedia as any reference in my entire life. I've already discussed the most important aspects, if you want more, I sure ain't your babysitter.

Oh wait, you're the emo expert but you can't even give us a little history lession?

If you really want us to believe you know so much, you better start proving it.

C'mon, you're pathetic...At least try, just for sh*ts and giggles.

It's not that I can't, I just can't be bothered. I think someone gave a link regarding the history anyway.

Better start proving it? Well I've done my best to educate the uneducated but I guess I've failed my struggling students.

Well just face the fact that this forum is for discussion of underground, hardcore-related emo only, because the people who post here the majority of the time want it to be and if you don't like that just stop posting, we don't want to be "educated". At the end of the day if we didn't want the current wave of "emo" to be discussed we could just rename the forum "hardcore" as the current bands discussed here are hardcore but the mainstrem ones are not.

Yeah, I initially posted this in the rock/metal forum because there was a huge argument regarding whether C&C are emo or not, then it just went from there and it got moved into this forum.

Yeah, I love how you judge the articles/sites on the people instead of the actual information in them.

So basically, you don't have to prove your opinions?

According to your definition, their were many many many people/bands that played this "emo" music before they did.

Because you don't know what one side of emo is. If you just understood that, you'd finally realise you're wrong.

Sorry, but I fail to see how I am wrong here.

Oh wow, have you heard both of them? Other then the different vocals they're the same genre.

Contradiction much?

Your concept of emo is pathetic, loose and as I said is just plain to messed up and complicated it followes no guidelines whatsoever its basically whatever don decides is emo.

Ugh i'm done with this thread, theirs no point your arguement blows. Anberlin is emo, but simple plan isn't? Its stupid and confusing and it seems like whatever you want to be emo is emo. Im too tired to bother trying to argue with you, you're like a brickwall on this, and are being close-minded about anything thats not don's opinion.

*leaves thread*
