    no their just crap. Bands like Joy Division are considered emo.

    Him is like the Cure. Weird goths...
    ;)

    Emo bands are whiny bitches who try to be punk and goth but end up looking/sounding retarded (or like a crying vagina).

    JD is new wave/post punk. I an curtis had been in the ground a few years before emo even started.

    And to answer your question, threadstarter, no, they are just really shitty.

    emo, something to do with "emotional punk"
    teenage boys trying to play guitar and wail down a micophone
    emo bands: my chemical romance, fall out boy, panic at the disco, alkaline trio etc etc
    emo kids like to wear tight jeans and band tshirts for bands theyve never heard of
    have the legendary side fringe
    most emo kids i know think that the ramones is a clothing range.
    id advise any kids out there to stick to good old fashioned grunge instead of emo.
    HIM are "love metal" i personally dont think such a thing exsists, ther fan base is quite diverse, as with system, who are supposedly metal.

    i like the used and glassjaw first album, ´´emo´´ is a rock label like ´´grunge´´ did, i like the music of them, but the lyrics is the same thing, bad relationships with girls, a death girlfriend, sometimes sounds like a glam rock... talking about girl girls girls... emo it´s mix between punk and nu screamo metal bands........ it´s like a new alternative sound.......

    I like a lot of those band...well AFI, MCR, TEN, and DC specifically.

    HIM is not emo. even though i think its corny they call their style of music "love metal" i think they're a good band. you gotta listen to the older stuff though because the new stuff was meant to be on MTV- they sold out to make money in the US.

    Just to throw in my 2 cents.....Based on my only impression of HIM, their video on MTV, they suck major sphincter. That song is terrible and the video is worse.

    Death Cab, I bought into the hype and got their album and it was repulsive. I didn't realize they were just another whiny nerd band. I can't believe PJ let them on the same stage.

    All of these bands on all of these lists.....suck.

    Emo is a result of feeding our kids psycotropic drugs to "fix" them and coddling them through their 30's.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Go to any town square on a saturday afternoon and you'll see all the emo kids.

    They all look the same but think they're 'different'.

    Some of the girls though...man ;)

    Me and my friends actually call it 'Emo Square' or 'The Square of despair'.

    Yeah you can't really talk about emo and not mention Jimmy Eat World, they are often considered one of the first emo bands. I personally love them, and think they are far more diverse than all the current emo bands like Panic at the disco, fall out boy etc. Also Weezer's Pinkerton is often touted as the first emo album....

    you guys are forgetting Hawthorne Heights. they are the worst band i think to walk on this planet.

    they are the all time emo-shitty, band.
  • improvgirl312improvgirl312 Posts: 40
    The problem with emo is that the fans always deny that their favourite emo bands are actually emo. It's kind of hard to figure out who is, and who isn't. I just know that it's not really for me. To me, it just sounds like a bunch of middle class white kids who write lyrics like they're paid by the word.

    yeah! and you see an emo kind and they say "im not emo!" but they clearly have the straitened dyed black parted hair, afi-liner, painted nails, tight pants, and fall out boy shirt. its like why not just admitt it?
  • tonadaxtonadax Posts: 594
    uao exactly like many grunge bands denied they were grunge...pearl jam never admited they were grunge and they always had used flanel shirts, boots, long hair, breaking guitars ´´iggy pop did it before´´, ´´grunge´´ yell, etc... of course they weren´t grunge...

    emo, grunge, hair metal it´s all bullshit labels.... every label revolution has some great and bad bands...
  • whatsthefreezerwhatsthefreezer Posts: 347
    well to me there's a big difference between pop/punk and emo. fall out boy, AFI, Panic! At The Disco, and Simple Plan to me all that stuff is pop/punk.
