What the heck is emo? (lyrics, singer, punk, rock)

brokenheartsandfallenhero · 03-04-2004, 08:49 PM

I agree so much when Punk in Drublic said that good charlotte is not emo, in my mind its not even music, same with blink and of the four bands you mentioned even though all of them could and are labeled emo I only consider D/C and maybe the get up kids true emo because the other two are major sellouts

and so what if they are sellouts? if u like or dislike a band based upon whether or not they r sellouts, then u r extremely close minded and u obviously dont respect music for what it is. people who say they dislike sellouts are doing it because they want to be original - yet it is not original to slag off sellouts like EVERYONE ELSE. you are clearly just following a trend if u dislike bands which are sellouts, because it means u dislike the bands that are good - now wheres the sense in that? ur just doing it because u want to look "cool". music is there to be listened to, not to determine how "cool" u r. ez

I determine if I like a band depending on two things in this order if they are a good band musically and lyric wise and secondly if they are more concerned with pleasing their fans whether than just making an easy buck they are plenty of bands that are underground that are ten times better than the "popular" bands out there they just dont want to be overtaken by money which is just ultimatley greed is it not. Secondly dont ever call me a poseur i dont give a care if other people are copying us true emo/punk people that were here in the first place, why should i change just because a bunch of preps decide that they want to try and be emo/punk for a semester huh? so i really dont want to get in an arguement about this I am not denying that a great little few of the sellout bands have talent I am just saying thats my opinion which counts just as much as the next guys and please dont ever call me a poseur

Good Charlotte isn't emo. Although their first cd was straight up pop punk goodness, and it even had a beautiful emo song, seasons, on it.

Do you two know each other? Fight somewhere else.

Liking or disliking a band due to their "selling out" is not a very good idea. I can see disliking them because, like good charlotte, they completely changed their sound to get famous though.

Uhh...so whats the current topic in here?
I listen to quite a bit of emo. My favorites are Taking Back Sunday and Rufio.
