forgive me for saying this: i just don't like emo music & it's bands. hope im not the only one here.

notable bands such as as Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, Coheed and Cambria, Story of the Year, Death Cab for Cutie, Fall Out Boy, AFI, Hawthorne Heights, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, etc.

sorry emo lovers.

i like mcr first 2 cds same as tbs. AFI were a actually a punk band, the used are more screamo/punk then emo. dashboard i like alot for some reason

Alot of people have a misconception about what real emo is about. Bands like Taking back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, and Fall Out Boy pass for emo these days. They are no more emo than Silverchair, Seven Mary Three, and Bush were grunge. Real emo is more like Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, Texas is the Reason,and The Promise Ring. Hell, even the 1st Weezer album was in the ballpark, but traditional emo is basically obsolete. It doesn't have to be whiny, gay crap. It's supposed to be heavy musically, with clearly sang, meaningful lyrics. Nice concept in the right hands.

Whatever label you want to put on fall out boy, taking back sunday, hawthorne heights... its all crap. CRAP. Guess its a sign that i am getting old. I just dont see how anyone can listen to this.

it's not really music. it's a visual that has some noise that goes along with it. it's all really shitty. the thing about real rock n roll music is that it's based on the blues. and the blues were about bein' in a shitty situation and venting about it. emo twats that "start a bands" are all from middle to upper class families who get their starts from daddy's paycheck. it's such a joke to the rock n' roll world. they sing about heartbreak because that's the only somewhat real element in any of their pussy lives. i wish gg alin was still alive.

I definitely dont class Jimmy Eat World in the same category as bands like MCR or Fallout boy, some of JEW's stuff is great. I like the Bleed American album but prefer the earlier ones. Probably put them in order of :

Clarity
Static Prevails
The Singles
Bleed American

Dont have anything after that though, think they have another album.

yeah, fuck emo bands!!!!!

That's true. They are faggot ass science fiction music for people who play dundgeons and dragons, wait in line for Star Wars, and live in their parents basesment

GG Alin was the ultimate visual with noise to go along with it. He was a total fucking gimmick and his music was garbage. Furthermore, I suspect you don't know anything about him other than a blurb in Rolling Stone. You probably only brought this up so people would think your taste was so obscure and unpredictable.
