    i blame all this on the cure. they sucked in the 80's, but for some reason chicks liked them. i think emo boys turned into pussies to emulate that robert what's-his-nuts in hopes of scoring with chicks

    You guys are all fucking idiots! Eddie and Kurt are the fathers of Emo. Personal sad lyrics. Maybe go back and listen to Ten. Black, Alive, Release.
    Nirvana's "You know your Right" when Kurt screams "Paaaaaiiiiinnnnnn."
    Haven't you seen videos of Ed crying on stage while singing? You're all fucking morons. If you think Emo is lame then thank PJ.

    No I agree with you. I didn't think the mind's of our knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, neanderthal comrades could grasp the concept of music history (as indicated by thier failure to accuratley trace the roots from 1991 to present). That is a good question though. And (like all things) I think you have to trace it back to Dylan (specifically "Bringing it All Back Home") I wasn't around then, but I'd assume that was the inception of a convergence between lamenting poetry, whiny vocal inflections and the perfect reconciliation between acoustic and electric gutiars?

    If not Dylan then mabye The Velvet Underground's Warhol album? (Probably too late)

    Oh crap ... I own albums by all of them!?!?!

    Sci Fi writer William Gibson's first impression of a Walkman was walking around wiith Joy Division on it (it was Molly Hatchet for me... and Moving Pictures :-D) The two are intertwined permanently...

    I've really enjoyed Peter Murphy over the years, but Love and Rockets was crap in concert. Two Cure songs are still in my iPod rotation, Fight Fight Fight and uh, huh, somethin else ... but yeah, ok, my wife was emo in the 80s.

    Was at a Pych Furs NYE concert with her, in the second row, "rocking" and ringing in the new year, and I'm all "Hey! Yer getting some serious eye contact!"

    And she's all, "uh no.... that'd be you...."

    The new fad of emo music is more about the image and the attitude and less about the music. Drawing comparisons from emo to PJ, Nirvana, Dylan and the Velvet Underground makes no sense. In general, all good music contains sad lyrics and emotional poetry. Basically, the only music that doesn't is rap. There is a fine line between the genre of pop punk (see Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World) and Emo (see Good Charlotte) I think that fine line is the clothes, makeup, attitude, and lifestyle. "Emo kids" tend to border on goth more than anything with their black makeup and whatever else they have. They spend most of their time feeling sorry for themselves. I don't think you can say the same thing about fans of PJ, Nirvana and Velvet Underground, or even Blink 182 and the like.
    My point is that, emotional lyrics, ballads and generally sad music is not the main influence on emo, or else we'd all be emo kids.

    PS. emo also tends to be really shitty.

    This whole emo thing is bullshit. Whether it's some confused young person who just goes and labels himself something, or some idiot who goes bashing something and a group of people he doesn't even understand. Fuck labels.

    yeah but the actual music is so different. my chemical romance - dress all "hardcore" yet the music is so weak. i went to a bar in OKC and couldn't tell any difference in the sound of any bands. very corny sounding, don't know quite how to describe it. definately not hardrock or what i would call "emotional" (i.e. PJ's black). closest to pop-punk of the late 90s, which is total crap.

    the term "emo" is dervied from "emocore" which was one of the terms used to describe and usher in what we would consider modern "emo". minor threat was the first band to be called this.

    I'm a chick, and I just want to go on record saying that in the 80s I hated The Cure. I still hate The Cure. I will always hate The Cure. I hate Robert what's-his-nuts. Whiny boys are not interesting.

    That's all, carry on.

    Hmm. Are you sure you don't mean The Cure? Robert Smith sang for The Cure. They're still around actually and still good.

    Yeah, I did mean The Cure. I edited, but not before you could quote it. This is what comes of posting under the influence :o

    But I don't like The Smiths either, so it's ok.

    Robert Smith is 45 years old now, still wears lipstick and still sounds awesome. What I don't like about these "Emo" bands is that basically they are trying to copy something which was already done in the 1980s and doing a shitty job of it.

    My daughter likes them ... I don't know where I went wrong, I TRIED to raise her properly. She's a PJ fan, so I didn't go entirely astray, but sheesh! I dunno ... I know a lot of people who love them, it's just not my thing.

    I can see why emo kids want to slit their wrists though. If I had to listen to that for any length of time, I'm sure I'd slit mine.

    I'm so glad that someone mentioned the Cure as EMO. I saw the title of the thread and thought that Emo Phillips started a music career.:)
