Emo Your Views...What Bands Are REAL Emo Bands? (funk, indie)

phoenixflames · 04-24-2005, 04:20 PM

This is one of those subjects that people seem to fight over soooo much. I hear about it all the time. People say our band is emo, people say our band isan't emo. People argue... I happen to believe it does fall at least somewhat into the emo / emocore genre because our lyrics mainly consist of subjects that are emotional in nature. I don't know if you would say that is enough to call it emo, but who knows. Its just peoples opinion anyway. You should like a band for their music, not what catagory they (or their fans) put themselves into. Sometimes classification can help people find new bands, but other than that, I don't really see that it helps a whole lot.

Your band is neither emo nor emocore. If you would like to learn a little about the emo genre www.fourfa.com does a pretty good job covering it. Although you might not agree with him 100%, he does bring up a lot of good bands.

I had read it prior to your post. It does have a pretty good history. But then again, I think this this is one of those things thats defined by the opinion of many people. At least thats my perspective.
