Man, Emo is like a source of shame amoung the people i know and the area I live in. I realized along time ago that there are enough problems inthe world, we shouldn't make them worse by judging and insulting people by their taste in music. But, I swear, you listen to emo here and people will talk **** because they associate emo with simple plan and good charlotte and the likes of the MTV brand names. Greatest bumper sticker i ever saw in a head shop was, "Mtv Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack"

Whether emo is something to be proud of or not just depends on where you are in the world. If there are alot of people who start saying that emo is bad, most of the people around will agree. Its not a bad thing, its just the way it is.

Thats what happens to all genres , stop being so anal about it.

I just hate it when underground bands start to play ****ty pop music with the purpose of going mainstream to make more money. It seems like bands can only make one or two good records and then they go to **** ass pop.

Well I guess they gotta get money. And maybe they change cause they like the style, you never know.

It gets really annoying when everyone complains about this. If you dont like their new sound, then dont listen to it. Theres nothing stopping you from listening to their old stuff, you dont have to go off that band altogether. Unless youre easily swayed and would be embarassed to admit you like a band that has moved towards the pop end of the spectrum, but if thats youre case then I feel sorry for you. Thats no life to live...Thats everyone elses life youre living.

Ok I just went completely off topic so.. Yeah back to whatever everyone was talking about before.

This has only happend to like 5% of the bands I like. I just see other bands doing it all the time. But it seems like more and more bands are doing it these days. I just don't want the bands that I listen to doing this.
