[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Please,just end it all now.

They tend to listen to the MTV'ed version of emo.... nicely melodic and safe as far as I'm aware. I've never seen them sport any shirts other than the usual my chemical romance, dashboard confessional.... eh, that's about all I know. But there ya go.

I think there's only one question really needing to be asked to end this debate:





Are you the emo version of Janer?

 

[Janer]

Love Jones I want to agree with you on one point but then again where do yu stand on former Punks promoting/encouraging hip hop and synt music???

 

[rape the drummer]

those bastards, broadening their horizons and becoming former punks. leaving a just cause behind as well.

just out of interest, if a band uses keyboards, is it impossible for them to be punk?

embrace, rites of spring, jawbreaker..

[cracker jack]

I was going to contribute but I think I'll go cry somewhere and go find a mob to group hug with.
Maybe I should be wearing a stripy t-shirt and a chain round my waste as well.

 

[directhit]

this is a silly thread,but here's a couple more bands.

FRAIL
CURRENT
CAMPAIGN
HEROIN
POLICY OF THREE
JOHN HENRY WEST

la, la, la, la, la.

 

[oh shit]

i believe the human race took a permanent pitstop sometime around 1997, what when the kids today don't listen to what the kids of yesterday knew was the best, if only they were made to listen to the greats of emo like;
- kiss my faces
- crisps on the cross
- monkey on board?
- walt whitman's cheesy foreskin
- the fugazis
- jonny eats jizz

No, no, music with keyboards is called POP.

nf course keyboards can be punk. How about the Screamers? They were punk and didn't even have guitars.

 

[love jones]

this is silly thread. so what!
bernard i love you.
heroin was a good band.
rape the drummer, what are you talking about?

 

[love jones]

most of the early stuff on gravity records is pretty good. and pretty emo.

 

[contrariwise]

i've got a theory:
words change meaning over time.
emo means something else now.
or, it means different things to different people, like "punk".
