Emo Bands

[tomthetiger]

I dont mind emotional music, but what they get emotional about is the key. Another thing, I dont judge what is or what isnt emo by the style of music or the tempo, but rather by the vocals and lyrics of the band, as well as their status and image.

yeah its all sadistical music about broken relationships, family problems and addictions but then again thats also a big theme in rap music with the gangsta lifestyle e.g. snoop and 50 cent go on about their problems etc and the idea of broken relationships is popular in RnB just look at NeYo: so sick and Mariah Carey: we belong together. my point is, is that these theme occur in all genre's of music and will only continue in society and its music. I listen to everything so it don't bother me. doesn't mean I let it influence me though

couldnt have described it better myself. all music is somehow realated to 'emo'tion. well unless were talking about a manufactured group who doesnt write their own songs and theyre paid to sing anything thats put infront of them. but thats were most music comes from with most artists, is their own personal experiences and emotions etc...
thats just my opinion but hey...

I dont mind the emotional side, its just that whingy half assed wailing that I cant bear.

Mate, AFI are NOT emo. Take a listen to new songs like Kill Caustic and Affliction. Then come back, and tell me that they are emo.

And Allan, this new wave of "emo" is a faze. It will die off once people realise that it isn't as cool as they thought it was.

Kinda like how everyone was a wigga in 2001 and listened to rap music.
