i gotta agree with you about numerous punk bands sounding identical, for every good original sounding band there are hundreds that do a half assed job trying to sound exactly like them. I think its the same with any genre though, you gotta dig through the BS to find the good stuff. Thats the main reason why i try to avoiding stating that i dont like a particular genre because there may be a good band burried somewhere in there that i havent heard yet. good bands are good bands, shit bands are shit bands, in my opinion someone that shuts out an entire genre because of a few bands that they dont like is the same as avoiding a restaurant because of the one time the chimichangas gave you exploding ass.

OMG UR SO CloSeMINDeD!!1 1 LOL! !!

Seriously, shoving links in people's faces will convince anyone of anything. Make a thread to discuss the music, but unless someone ask for something like a link, don't call them ignorant and shower them with links. Chances are you wouldn't like their kind of music.

and Don, powerpop is a genre. Ever heard of a power trio? Same idea, yet applied to a pop band.

If we want to get educated, we can stroll over the Emo board. As you can see, many of the Rock and Metal regulars have already made up their mind about EMO and Hardcore. I find it annoying when users try and spread "propaganda" like this and trying to getting users who obviously like other genres more since they post there instead of in the Emo board to like it. Like I said, if we want to get into it or be more educated, then we will come to you.

I Hate Emo Music

They bash emo in here constantly, if they wanna bash something they should at least not be ignorant about it. Its not like we're going LIKE THIS BAND NOW THEY HAVE TO BE YOUR FAVORITE, but of course trying to teach people something on a music forum is completely out of line.

So what if they are ignorant, let them be. This is the internet, most people will talk out of thier ass and stay that way. Jerks and idiots are everywhere here. Quit actling so serious over the emo education thing and let people be.

sleepy jack

Sorry, I won't take music serious anymore, its all one big joke.

Wow, so you think people should be ignorant and don't see the need to educate them because its entertainment?

I'm not saying they should be ignorant, I'm just saying that there so many of them on the internet. You honestly going to tell me that you think you can educate every music lover on the internet about what real emo is? I said it is entertainment because it is in the long run. Sure it is artist and deep but what does it do to you? Entertain you. It might give you emotions and make you feel deep but in the end it is entertainment. Now Im getting of topic. Anyways, people are ignorant, not much one can do about it, stop acting like it is your job to educate them.
