I dont know why im posting about this but uh it just pissed me off today...Spanish--this chick got asked why she had short hair. she sed she was emo...but still...emo means Emotionally charged punk. emo is not a genre of music ( more of a branch off punk )...isnt a life style...isnt the way u fucking wear clothes or do your hair...or dye it black( haha Kristin )...but still Emo is getting too used these days...
Rites of Spring...thats emo there...have u even heard of them, no u havent
emo doesnt just mean emotional...or emotions...if that was the case then fucking every song everyone everything would be emo...its been killed...its looked as a trend now.
how bout Minor Threat, Jawbreaker, Rites Of Spring, Bright Eyes, vendetta red,...well jaw-breaker is emo-core....haha im sucha loser i actually looked into music.
Emo is now a stereotype
Here are some real emo bands:::
The Hated, Native Nod, Indian Summer, Sleepytime Trio, Evergreen, Embassy, Moss Icon, Rites of Spring, Gray Matter, early Lifetime, Samiam, Hot Water Music, Ignition, Jawbreaker, Kerosene 454, Heroin, Antioch Arrow, Reach Out, Swing Kids, Guyver-1, Merel
( post-emo/ indie )---Sunny Day Real Estate, Promise Ring, Mineral, Getup Kids, Jets To Brazil, Cap'n Jazz, Joan of Arc
Most Emo was on a record or sumthing so not much actually exists anymore
Bands like Senses Fail, The Early November, AFI, Rufio, Dashboard Confessional, Story of the Year, Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service, From Autumn to Ashes, Yellowcard, Brand New and the like are commonly referred to as emo bands, but usually the case is that they've got emotional lyrics and songs but the music doesn't even come close to real emo.
Onto the styles: trucker hats, girl pants, shaggy (jet-black) hair, Saucony shoes and lip rings don't make up the style. That's what people refer to as 'fashioncore' and 'mallcore' styles. Ever seen pictures of Fugazi and Sunny Day Real Estate? I don't see jet-black hair or girl pants...but then you look at Senses Fail, Early November and Story of the Year and there are those elements.
( finally im an idiot for writing all this ) ---- Emo started in DC way back in 1987-88...i doubt u knew that...Emo music utilized the octave chords and mingled with soft, whispered vocals and nice pretty guitar which would. Although songs may have started off calm, most of them would break out into very harsh guitar and screams. The vocal style is much more intense than emocore, ranging from just singing to almost sobbing vocals. Many emo bands would treat a song like a book, an epic poem if you will- they would build up very slowly to the climax where someone, usually the vocalist, actually cried during the performance....OMG im done....ask me anything if u wanna know about emo
