does john mayer count as emo?

joking right? i'm gonna assume so and not even bother answering this.

honest question guys

^no, not even a litte bit close. read the emo education thread to get an idea of what emo music is, then check out some of those bands to get a better idea of what kind of music would be considered emo.

I'm not a huge Emo fan nowadays. I love my Heroin and Antioch Arrow cd's. I'm more a fan of the "art punk" movement within the style. Fast paced, reckless, and pointless. That's how I like my music :)

When you refer to art punk (also refered to as artcore right?), you mean stuff like Circle Takes the Square, City of Caterpillar, and Welcome the Plague Year?

Welcome The Plauge Year yes. I see COC as more screamo and I haven't heard enough Circle Takes The Square to say.

by "art punk" or as you say "artcore", I mean groups like Antioch Arrow, Heroin, Party Of Helicopters, etc.

Welcome the Plague Year and CTTS have a lot of similarities. I can send you a bunch of songs if you'd like.

my AIM doesn't work. if you could YSI that would be cool :)

Replace the two x's with t's.

That's 15 CTTS songs.
