Get to Know You Thread (dance, hardcore, pop, punk)

[CAPTAIN CAVEMAN]

Since not that many people who post here post in the off-topic forum, it's hard (for me, at least) to get a good idea of some of the people who post here are. Post a little bit about yourself (location, stuff you like, favourite bands, etc), maybe it will help the community a bit.

I'll start with myself -

My name is Mackenzie, and I'm from Canada. I'm not sure exactly when I started listening to emo, but surely less than some people, somewhere around a year, a year and a half. I've done a lot of listening in that time though. I enjoy creating art, reading, writing, going to shows, and in general anything that has to do with that sort of stuff.


Tell us about yourself!

(This thread is specifically for people interested in emo ( http://www.musicbanter.com/hardcore-...on-thread.html ), just incase you didn't get that)

My name is Ethan, and I'm from Washington (state). I started listening to emo in late 2005 I think, whenever A_Perfect_Sonnet registered. He, swim and I then turned this from a pop forum into a legit forum. I don't really post here anymore because the only emo albums I listen to are ones I've had forever like Carpe Diem is Fucking Dead, You Pull the Strings That Make Us Dance, La Decadence De La Decadence, etc. I like reading and writing and I mainly listen to like, Elliott Smith, Carissa's Wierd, Morrissey, Okkervil River, Patrick Wolf, Hello Saferide, etc right now.

Hello my name is Catie(lulz yes i r a gurl fo re4l) and I'm from North Carolina. The first emo album I ever listened to was Falling Forward-Hand Me Down so that's why I sweat that so hard but in retrospect it's more melodic hardcore, whatever. When I came to this board I really didn't like screamo but I liked standard 90s stuff and Ethan got me into screamo. And I was into that for a long while and then chickendude and started talking about stuff I'd never even heard of and sparked some curiosity about weird 90s stuff so that's what I listen to now. My favorite color is green. I like to book shows and write crappy songs and go to shows and release albums for friends.

My name is Brandon, Im 20 years old from Baltimore. The first taste of emo I ever heard was Wow Owls! like 3 years ago and I really dug them. Then I got introduced to Love Like...Electrocution and just went from there basically. I am graduating from college this semester as an English Major. I love to listen to music (of course), play guitar, of course hang out with kew peeps, play world of warcraft, go to shows that are worth my time, get to know some of the people that play the music that I like and write a whole bunch of different stuff.

Im getting a turntable finally so I can finally start buying all those kickass only vinyl releases woot woot. Thats pretty much it about me that there is to know =).

my name is francis maria (both first names). i'm from DC, Philippines. i do vocals for a band called Caitlyn Bailey. i'm an international studies student at a local university, and i got into emo around late 2005 because someone recommended i listen to Orchid since i liked Converge so much. i started listening to better music since i got to Musicbanter and got faster internet. eventually, i started grabbing albums off the internet like crazy, and i started organizing and going to hardcore shows. right now, i listen to a lot of powerviolence/thrashcore/hardcore punk with streaks of grindcore, crust and some post-rock on the side.

i also run an e-zine which is at Limp Cat Productions E-Zine
