Emo, or Screamo? (hardcore, punk, rock, Blink 182, bands)

Xarius · 12-27-2004, 02:40 PM

What do you prefer?

I like the harder stuff more, like Alexisonfire and Thrice, compared to stuff like Dashboard.

I got to thinking about this when I was comparing different songs by The Used. Their hard songs are so much better!

Screamo a.ka. Emocore

I like Dead Poetic
Story of the year
The Used
Funeral for a friend
Emery

and so on.

The "Hard Songs" from The Used I prefer also, but I always can change my mood when I listen to all the others just because I like them *g*!

Depends on my mood.

emo is screaming. therefore it is screamo. dashboard is not emo. story of the year is not screamo.

Go listen to Heroin and The Red Scare.

At one point in my life I did like screamo. However, I was introduced to many other bands which led me away from the screamo type. I'm going with emo, because if I want to hear anything harder than that....I'd much rather prefer a punkrock/hardcore based vocals.
For me, emo would be like
The Weakerthans
Sunny Day Real Estate
Dashboard Confessional
Rainer Maria
Braid
etc....

I'd rather Screamo...

I said EmoCore too...
and SOTY is defenetly Emocore!

spearmint · 12-28-2004, 07:51 AM

if they scream and such isn't it screamo...Hmmmm, I like a bit of both...softer and screamo. And David how does a band need to scream to be defined as emo?? it's like if they don't scream...they're pop...???

David Frost · 12-28-2004, 12:34 PM

shut up. you dont know what you are talking about. 2 years ago you were probably sporting your blink 182 shirt and loving it.

people on this board piss me off.

I'm just going by what you said...stop thinking you're so superior...I was merly asking you and you get defensive and go about the "you're so much younger and worse than me" stuff and fair do's I am younger than you but there still isn't a true way to define emo if there was you'd be the first to tell everyone...but you haven't

and I'm not going to get in a agrgument about a difference in musical taste.
