What is /emo/?A subgenre of punk music. Originally it was called "emo" due to its lyrics, which were more emotional and confessive than typical punk songs. Some original emo bands are Rites of Spring, Taking Back Sunday, and Sunny Day Real Estate. Over the years, though, emo has become more diverse, and a very vague term. No one can agree exactly what it is. There are many kinds of emo music: emocore (emo post hard core), emo punk, emo alternative, and more.
"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

Anyone see First Day Back recently? I think their shows can be fun, but I don't think they deserve nearly the hype they get. They're just another Cap'n Jazz clone with no range.>>130984577One of their only good songs ruined by god awful lyrics.

>>130983460Emo is what you call anything with guitars and whiny singing, music from the 00s, if you don't know any better. Emo or screamo. Nickelback? Seether? Three Doors Down? Creed? Trapt? Linkin Park? System of a Down? Bullet for my Valentine? Killswitch Engage? Asking Alexandria? Saosin? Disturbed? Simple Plan?Yup, all emo or screamo. Emo started with hardcore punk bands who slowed down and wanted something more confessional or introspective instead of angry and political. Oddly enough screamo is a sub genre of emo but it is more like hardcore punk, intense, screaming, but has the lyrical content of emo.
>>130987867Fuck youDie
>>130988239Strong opinions about emo. It isn't that serious
Can we turn the shitpost into a realpost?
>>130984334You're right, Pink was such a shotty solo artist.
>>130983573"Real Ska" only consists of the Jamaican Ska scene and the late 70's Two Tone scene. What is known by "Third Wave Ska" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real ska influence. When people try to argue that bands like Less Than Jake are not real ska, while saying that Reel Big Fish is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake ska as Less Than Jake (plus the pretentiousness). Real ska sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat JOYFUL. Fake ska is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and skanking into music. Some examples of REAL SKA are The Specials, Desmond Dekker, The Slackers (the only real ska band from the American scene) and The Skatalites. Some examples of FAKE SKA are Mustard Plug, Mad Caddies and Kill Lincoln SKA BELONGS TO THE DANCEHALL NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
