do 'emo kids' know what emo is? (2 Viewers)

[Space]

grind-core was emo's gettin hardcore, they're definitly heading for electronica next.

Grind-core's been around since the eighties so how can that be emo?

 

[rape the drummer]

grin-core what a faggy genre. only brought to my attention by (bad) gay emos

hate that.

 

[oh shit]

don't most kids of a certain age and socio-economic background like getting into some sort of passing music/image/lifestyle package that they think is alternative but actually readily accessible and reassuringly popular?
i don't think "they" are headed anywhere - except university, followed by dull entry-level careers and suburbs;
or a creeping sense of disillusionment and ennui (at which point they start getting into electro)?

 

[rape the drummer]

The posts weren't really serious (although i do reckon a lot of emo kids like their electronic stuff, or at least electronic bits in songs).

i know

has anyone mentioned jawbox yet?
and swing kids

 

[rape the drummer]

jawbox are good alright. what about old hot water music (even though i'm like tote em0 and liked the new stuff as well- lolzzz!) and stuff like leatherface- would that be lumped in here as well?

Christie Front Drive
Elliot
oh yeah, and Taking Back Sunday.

I'd call Leatherface melodic punk if anything. All music guide calls them good old fashioned punk rock. Maybe we should ask Janer?

quicksand

the difference between hot water music and leatherface is that hot water music wrote songs about growing old with your friends and loved ones, and were really nice to everyone and explained what their tattoos meant to them;
whereas leatherface wrote songs about how to make beer and punched our bassist in the face.

 

[rape the drummer]

yeah. i reckon leatherface are more on the punk side alright.

 

[love jones]

holy shit. i forgot about the swing kids. heard they were rock star pricks aswell. And how can we forget husker du!

i guess this new emo shit is really just an extension of numetal. it's all in the same vain and completley un-DIY.

it will pass as will they. Electro doesn't come into it. that ain't going any place any time soon.

hey moose, emo started pretty much in the 80s too.
unless you wanna call bod dylan emo.

that band needs a drummer who can keep up with the song.

 

[subbuteo !]

never really got into the yank stuff anyone like old french emo? anomie etc.

 

[Anarcho Munk]

Dag Nasty were daaaaaycent emo.

 

[subbuteo !]

a lot of the bands mentioned i'd consider hardcore or melodic hardcore like 7 seconds etc surely hardcore .when does a band cross the line into emo?

 

[Lili Marlene]

I thought it was a lyrics thing? or a lack of posturing thing?

originally anyway, I suppose it's sort of gone full circle anyway.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

In the new issue of MRR,Felix Von Havoc sais that the 1st record by Marginal Man was the first record to be described as emo.
