| Message Board > General Chitchat > emo music -whats up!?!? |
| ballz andy User Info... | let me get this straight emo stands for emotional?? are there really folks out there that go around saying " im in an emotonal band" ?????? what the hell is that dude? - Sat, 28 Jun 2003 2:46pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | There'll be other people that can explain this better than I'm about to.... So, somewhere some time in the '80s, a bunch of guys in hardcore bands got bored of being hardcore all the time and started singing about their feelings.... Hence, it was emotional.... That got shortened to emo.... So now you had a form of music with loud heavy guitars and emotional lyrics.... It was called emo.... That form of music has evoolved to what is now called emo, still with loud heavy guitars and emotional lyrics..... So, when a person says they're in an emo band, they're not really saying they're in an "emotional" band, but that they're in a band that plays a kind of music called emo that got it's name as an abbreviation of "emotional".... - Sat, 28 Jun 2003 3:08pm | ||
| gleamer User Info... | (read: "I do too much E to be in a straight edge band but the raver kids don't like me because I wear black all the time.") - Sat, 28 Jun 2003 3:44pm | ||
| Walker Texas Ranger User Info... | Emo is a crappy pre-concieved gimmick, just like grunge was in the mid 90's. It's all hype. I pity anyone who would actually fall for such nonsense. Though I do admit watching emo kids dance is pretty funny. They look like they're being forced to by gunpoint. - Sat, 28 Jun 2003 7:22pm | ||
| Greasy Lary User Info... | Emo music is fucking gay. When i used to go to shows in the 90's, they were rad. I remember watching Dayglo play at wastland and seeing my buddy Glen puke all over the bouncers. Fun times. People used to mosh and shit. Once the millenium was comming( like 97'-99'), I stopped attending the punk shows(cause if you all remember the scene died quite a bit) and started going to raves doing lots of crystal meth. That got pretty tired and i turned into a geek, neither attending punk or rave parties. Now its 2003, and I have been going to shows again. I tell ya almost every band i have seen is "emo". Good music composition, but shitty screamy and whinney vocals. "aww my girlfriend just dumpped me and Im really sad" HAHAHA. So No props to the "emo" bands. Reattach your balls, and learn to write music which has beats faster than 90 Beats per min. Call me old now, but hey, i get off on fast beats and loud guitars, with vocals telling you to fuck off. - Sat, 28 Jun 2003 7:42pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | emo's good fer one thing - guaging how good other music is. if there's no horrible atrocity, then there's no pure sweet truth. - Sat, 28 Jun 2003 9:38pm | ||
| Tito Santana User Info... | emo's dead.... you're next. - Sun, 29 Jun 2003 9:25pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | "Emo is a crappy pre-concieved gimmick, just like grunge was in the mid 90's. It's all hype." Is that why all the emo shows are in the bigger venues, with major labels sponsoring them? - Sun, 29 Jun 2003 10:26pm | ||
| Elliot User Info... | There's something a bit disconcerting about people fondly reminiscing about vomit. Victoria is a fucked up town. Can anyone name another city where drunk punk is the dominant musical style? - Mon, 30 Jun 2003 2:32am | ||
| bohdan User Info... | emo is for fuckin wankers, who cry about ther fuckin dead dogs and there girlfriends that i fucked - Mon, 30 Jun 2003 2:57am | ||
| Lurker User Info... | Can't think of one... that's what I like about Victoria. Up the drunk punk! - Mon, 30 Jun 2003 4:19am | ||

| BOHDAN User Info... | fuck i'd pay $5 to watch some emo fag hang himself - Thu, 3 Jul 2003 5:02pm | ||
| Anonymous User Info... | Does the fact that I sometimes cry on my knee's during a solo make me potential for an EMO band? - Thu, 3 Jul 2003 5:34pm | ||
| Brian VIHC User Info... | Gahh!!! EMO!!! Emo make hardcore kid HULK OUT!!! BLARGGG!!! HARDCORE SMASH EMO!!! ARRGGHH!!! Sorry, had to. - Thu, 3 Jul 2003 7:19pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | Damn this sounds similar to when punk 1st became popular and rockers were downing punks just like this. What a wonderful cycle. - Thu, 3 Jul 2003 7:28pm | ||
| ballz andy User Info... | oh shut up - Thu, 3 Jul 2003 9:39pm | ||
| Elliot User Info... | If an emo band sings about their girlfriends, can't get laid, and suck, how does that make them different from most "punk" bands? - Thu, 3 Jul 2003 11:42pm | ||
| Criss Crass User Info... | Punkers ain't got shit! EMO kids are just mad that daddy bought em the wrong color Beamer. - Thu, 3 Jul 2003 11:45pm | ||
| Lurker User Info... | Yeah I wish my beamer was black. Oh... I mean... punk rock... yeah. Well fuck off there's GG in the cd player most of the time. - Fri, 4 Jul 2003 2:37am | ||
| Peter User Info... | Rites of Spring are the prototype and they rip and are punk as fuck. Emo IS punk. And there are few good bands in any genre. Any good band is emotional. Fakers abound. - Fri, 4 Jul 2003 3:46am | ||
| ballz andy User Info... | do you still live with your parents???? - Sun, 6 Jul 2003 2:40am | ||
| Weeping Willow Pole Vaulter User Info... | No, he works with the living dead in the downtown eastside and he's right about Rites of Spring---can't say anything good 'bout whatever emo is nowadays but Rites of Spring.... and the Heroin 12".... though 7Seconds "New Wind" is definately a puker. "Punkers ain't got shit!" yeah, right. - Sun, 6 Jul 2003 1:09pm | ||
