Lightbulb What the heck is emo?
You may be wondering thatuntil I visited http://www.fourfa.com/ and read some about emo. Here's a snippet:
Quote:
This site is intended to be a basic FAQ and primer on emo - short for "emotional." Emo is a broad title that covers a lot of different styles of emotionally-charged punk rock. This site is intended to introduce the reader to all the common styles, describe them musically, and give ideas about the essential records of all those styles.
I hope this helps some people like me.

I hate emo music, all they sing about is how they got dumped by their girlfriends, or how bad their life is.... There is no actual message behind it .....That's what I think anyway

Here's a thought; let's stop labeling music and fighting over what genre a certain band is, and start listening to whatever pleases our ears no matter what anyone thinks of it! ;)

I think they're the definition of emo. I've heard them before and come to think of it they're all about emotions, etc. I never really liked them myself.

turn the caps off you idiot, yellow card sucks, they have a violinist in their band, cmon. Pre-pubescent boys screaming about their lost love, it hurts my ears. The only good music wasn't created recently


If you havent heard of Led Zeppelin, go kill yourself, do us all a favor
