Emo.

[ttranquility.]

So many people think emo means emotional, its not :p It means Emotive hardcore. Some guy on habbo, started like calling me "emo" and i was like "do you even know what emo means?" and he was like "DUH, emotional" and so i asked some other people what they think, and they all say emotional -.- I have the dictonary meanings =]
What it doesnt mean:
Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

What it MEANS:
emo:-;; emotive hardcore / a type of singing,loud,harsh.

I always knew it was emotive hardcore (well along those lines).

[ttranquility.]

i dint even know what it was lolzzz

[ttranquility.]

rofl :p x] Not alot of people do.

[RedStratocas]

It might, but its the same type of music.

[.:OGGY:.]

What a dam well stupid description?

I would call myself half emo due to the fact i dont like tight jeans...
I think if you want to be an emo you dont have to look like teh 'typical image'. Alot of people now use sterotypes.
Yeah alot of emos have long hair (they tend to put their fringe over to one side) and yeah well the jeans are true. I think they kinda look stupid with light jeans, my m8 boyfriend buys womens jeans cause mens jeans aint tight enough :s
An teh glasses thing, thats a description of 'nerd glasses' which are very in at teh moment... there very bold black even big sunglasses (aviators) are in.

[Rebecca]

well um wah would you say emo music is lyke then :Slyke hawthonre heights etc? coz thts reeally got me stuck

[.:OGGY:.]

I would say emo music obviously isnt hardcore, i would say InMe were a Emo band.

[Rebecca]

uh wah about hawthorne hights and alexisonire... stuff lyke tht?

[.:OGGY:.]

neva heard of em

[Garycia]

How come people say it? It's like one day they find a word no-one says and then makes a short version of it then starts calling people it thinking they are cool :/.

Well not really an emo is someone that listens to a certain type of music...
There alot of groups its like calling someone a 'mosher', i hate that word cause its a sterotype kind of work :s

Mosh..Er - is this saying that the person 'moshs' in like a mosh pit... i never understood to be honest... which brings uncle oggy to sterotypes... who came up with the name 'chav' its a pretty random thing to call like a chav its an odd word really lol

I found this out a while ago.
Thanks for letting others know?

[Victimized]

Any male band who where eyeliner are pretty much emo.

[ttranquility.]

Thats not true. :p Not all guys who wear eyeliner are emo, some are punk, some do it to follow trends. xD



I found this out a while ago.
Thanks for letting others know?

lol, :)

[Victimized]

It's still pathetic.

[ttranquility.]

I like guys who wear eyeliner, not all that much, but i think the guys who wear it, look good. :p

[Victimized]

How can you like a boy who wears more eyeliner than you? I just can't imagine it.
Atleast you could share fashion tips though.

[ttranquility.]

Um, well, i dont even wear eye liner, :p But, why would i share fashion tips with them? They wear eyeliner because they look hot, and its kinda punk. Also, ACDC wore eyeliner, and they didnt share fashion tips with eachother -.-

[ReInfected]

Isnt emo a type of lama?

[ttranquility.]

It is ? :o! I never knew that. :p I thought it was emu. xD

[ReInfected]

yeah thats it emu lol

[ttranquility.]

hahah :p yes, emu. =]

[.:OGGY:.]

You cnt really tell any1 who wears eyeliner - well you can...
It kinda makes your eyes look darker more rock and roll but i understand that sometimes people look stupid wearin eyeliner... my m8 has a pic on Ville Valo an he is wearing eyeliner (like normal) but on one of these pics he looks like a girl.

[ttranquility.]

Guys dont look like girls with eyeliner on, i think they look hot. xD

[Aliness]

I THink THey Look Hot Too! :D
THere is thi sone guy, in my skewl he is hott!
ANd Biliie Joe Wears Eyeliner and HE"S HOTT! :']
YUh Go Go Emo! l
My HawtnessS SHoes \/

[.:OGGY:.]

I dnt wear different converse on each foot, i have like once buit i like just one colour.

[xJoeYx]

I dont like emo music >.< and generally i dont like hardcore stereotypical emos either.

All stereotypes of rock subcultures wear eyeliner? punk, emo, goth, industrial. I think its good when a guy wears it, just as long as they dont get carried away with what they look like.

[Aliness]

If a Lad wears eyeliner Rawk on I say!
He's not Following the croud [the chavs]
ANd he's doing his own thing Thats purty Kewl
Rawk On Brova!

[.:OGGY:.]

It does look good and deff brings out eyes and i have no problem with it.

[ttranquility.]

neither do i, they stand out dont they? xD

[Nixon!]

as bad as emo has been for the past 20 years, it has totally redifined its genre (like it deserves one) it is very emotional and i DO think that is what it means today, *how pathetic this has become, their are sites called like imsoemo.com and its not a good think nor pretty to even look at

[kaut]

Ugh... make it stop, please. When will this stupid fad be over with already?

[lauralol]

i thought it was about slitting your wrists for attention

[ttranquility.]

i thought it was about slitting your wrists for attention

No, thats emotional. Not emo, if people do that they have serious problems and should go see a counsellor.

[BLuweesH]

For some it's hard to tell what emo is these days, since there's many posers out there. :o

[ttranquility.]

Woha, you took the words right out of my mouth. xD

[BlueTails]

Emos Are Nice People

[.:OGGY:.]

For some it's hard to tell what emo is these days, since there's many posers out there. :o

I see where your coming from but then again the poser/emos you can see with tight jeans and those tight pants that grip to your legs that dancers wear. I think emo's look stupid in tight stuff but i have no problem with them cause i have emo m8s.

[NekkLe]

I find that music to be boring, are emo's basically like a fashion statement? All this rock genre is very confusing.
Indie and rock are sort of the music to listen to at the moment.

[Eamonn]

i heard they slit there wrists :o do they sing songs about it like i slit my wrists la la la la la ?

[Aliness]

They Slit There Wrists Because THere Mad,
and No, They dont do it for fun!
I would know, Im Emo
And.. Enough Said,
And, Dont quit your day job

[Jane]

Carrying on the eyeliner thing...xD I like guys that wear eyeliner, tis hot xD
I don't have anything against emo's so...yeah. :D

[Squishybeamz]

Ummmm What About The Following:
Hawthorne Heights

Basically Just Read My Profile Cause I Have More Bands On There Which I Lub ;)

Not all emos slit there wrists... do i? NO I DONT!!!

[Aliness]

Yuh Not All
Some Do,
*Stares Around*
But We Have Reasons..
Admittidly not ALL do! ;]

[Eamonn]

Reasons? Because your emos thats your reason to slit your wrists?

[Aliness]

No!
Because Some of our lives are Rooooobish!
and Family's are splitting up,
and Friends are turning to drugs,
and alot of bad things,
Its not coz were Emo,
THats Just Dumb,
If anyone does it to look kewl
Yuh, THats Sad!

[kaut]

Yaaaaah, those are great reasons to slit your wrists. You guys haven't even hit 18, how can your life be roooooooobish? I was beat on and thrown down stairs and pulled back up by hair most of my childhood until I was kicked out of my house at 16. I was homeless for a year and a half but you didn't see me slitting. Bad things happen, life goes on. And seriously, the only reason to slit your wrists is for attention cause do you know how hard it is to actually kill yourself doing it? So find a better means of getting attention if you think that's your last resort.

Please for the sake of humanity or me at least, get out of this stupid fad. Realize that the music is **** and that you don't have to wear the same mandatory "suit" that everyone around you is wearing. Seriously, just be yourself.

And as for the eyeliner... eh, it didn't look that great on me. But dresses do. :P

[Aliness]

Well, Some of us want to die,
Some of us are beaten Till were black and blue
And Some of us cant take anymore,
Im one of them,
I dont want no simpathy and I DONT
do it for Attention! Im not that low!
I do it coz, I can never make anyone happy,
Everything I do is wrong,
And I blooomin hate it!
If I died,
That wouldnt bother me,
People like you,
Pfft, Im sorry about your childhood,
Dont You ever feel so down
You wanna die ?
and you say 'just be youreself'
This is me, no bodeh else,
I only know one other guy
Which does it where I live,
And you dont know how old we are..

Firstly, emo means emotional. Bands like SIMPLE PLAN and GOOD CHARLOTTE, who cry about how cr'ap their lives have been does not make them emo.

[xJoeYx]

Firstly, emo means emotional. Bands like SIMPLE PLAN and GOOD CHARLOTTE, who cry about how cr'ap their lives have been does not make them emo.

Your right, but it does mean emotive hardcore, but i'm still thinking it means emotional too, because honestly.. it is all those bands whining about how their life s*cks IM NOOOTTTT OOOKAYYY.. yeh wahetevr p*ss off.

As for wrist slitters, well alot of people think that slitting your wrists gives you an instant backstage pass as the emo/goth subcultures, they are posers (though i do agree there are some real self haters our there that need the help).

Emo has been around for a while, however its only in recent years it has become slightly mainstream. You will find alot of emo's are emo's because they think they are different and not maintstream, ok, very well, they are right. They arent mainstream, but they are following a trend.. they dont really have any grounds to stand on when they shout out there individual 24/7. Alot of goths are like this too (im not gonna downrate my own subculture though), but thats because there is no universal definition of Goth, due to there being more poser Goths than there is real ones, same applying to Emo.

But since this is in a music subforum, im going to say your subculture (if you have one) is totally down to the music you listen to.

No it doesn it means emotive Hardcore, if you think Simple plan and Good Charlotte are emo, your so wrong buddy. Neither is Gwen Stefani, Or anybody, there are no real EMO bands anymore, and if EMO we're emotional, just because They complain wont make them emotional, it makes them the same as everyone else in this world, someone who thinks complaining is so cool and will make people cry, just to give them good ratings. -.-

Um, well, emo's are calling thereself emo just because how they dress and what they listen to, if your an Emo person then you wouldnt be dressing like some idiot, or listening to these random bands, and yes, most people are posers, there are no TRUE emo people in this world that i know of, and if people start thinking that Simple plan and like Gwen Stefani are emo, that could ruin everything. Not to mention give emo a bad look, Gwen Stefani is Pop. So is Simple Plan and Good Charlotte.

Perhaps emotive hardcore and emo-emotional are 2 different genres, I wouldnt know because i really cant stand emo. You'll find alot of emos are posers, some can even confess to it.
The thing about gwen and GC being emo sounds like a joke..

Try reading my post little girl. I never stated those bands were emo, though I did say emo meant emotional, notice how you replied saying 'emotive hardcore' well go figure girly 'cause emotive and emotion is the same thing.

eh... I come and go. Two weeks ago every five minutes of an hour I was looking at the gun cabinet. The rest of the time I was looking for something to distract myself so I wouldn't take that road. Not because I couldn't take it anymore, I learned how to survive over the years, but because I feel I know what's ahead and I don't like it. Everyone gets down from time to time, some people don't come back up. There's been months straight where I won't lift my head and there's not a thing any friend can say to make me look up. But when the day is done I know people would be hurt by my decisions and I feel too much empathy for them to make that kind of a decision. And when I'm in one of my moods I try to find something that I enjoy in life to get me by to the next day. Cause you never know where the day will take you, and you never know what will come tomorrow.

That's just my adivice take it as you will. I'm not gonna be a hipocrate and tell you not to cause something could happen five minutes from now and I'll start looking at the gun cabinet again. Just find something you enjoy in life. I enjoy my guitar, and I enjoy my alcohol. Those are the things that get me by each day.

I think in my view anyone can cut their wrists, its mainly caused by depression but in some cases (very few) ppl slit the back of there wrists for teh hell of it, i wouldnt say this was an emo thing, i would say it was a people thing, in my views i'v noticed that more serious rockers do it for fun, the songs they listen to dnt help with all the 'blar blar blar slit ma wrists' this is why emotive rock is better, cause it isnt about all stupid stuff like wrist cutting it actually has something 2 it.

Murderdolls do the song Slit My Wrists, idiots, but its a catchy song without acknowledging the lyrics.
Alot of self harmers nowadays kid themselves into thinking their depressed when they arent, its a good way of getting sympathy and attention, even if their life is tough it could most definetly be worse. **im not saying all of them are like that** anyway.. this thread is drifting away from the music side of things.

[Not-Thrilled]

Lets quote Maddox here as he is always correct:
<i>Emo: An abbreviation for loser. Emo is the new goth, except goths are still around, so it's becoming almost unbearable.</i>
Heh.
Emo music is terrible. It used to be alright, now it's turned into a cult and has to contain random screaming and annoying lyrics, usually containing self harm or a lost love.

I saw a boy get on the bus the other day who was wearing 3/4 length jeans with a chain on them, massive black trainers, a tight white t-shirt, greasy 'face-covering' hair and a black grandad's hat, he sat infront of us, and my annoying friend said 'are you a grunger?', he goes 'I'm emo actually'.

I was like jesus christ, whatever you are, you look like a total dork.

I wouldnt have a problem with emo's if they didnt go round yelling their heads off that their individual, because they arent, hair is all the same, covering the face, all wearing converse, all listening to exactly the same music, all in black, they are just another crowd. I don't mean to offend anyone, but of what I see its true, they may have a non-maintstream style and its not uncool, but individual it isnt.

They are losers, thats the whole point? dorky converse and thick rimmed glasses? tis a compliment. I never said greasy hair is an emo sign, nor is an old mans hat, they arent, that fool on the bus probably has no idea what hes on about.

yeh, emo guys do look hot, but im not liking there personalities much...

[Pulchritudinous]

I think the whole scarey gothic look is weird, I mean why not just wear ordinary clothes, it doesn't mean your not individual, individuality comes from the inside.
The only grunger/emo/goth, WHATEVER, guy that I think is good looking, is that lead singer out of green day, I don't know his name, but he would be okay...if he didn't wear eyeliner.

No, ordinary clothes are ordinary clothes, you know what I mean. =/

Being individual to some people means expressing themselves clothes wise, individuality can be shown by wearing unusual clothing, sure it can, and the gothic fashion is undeniably unusual, and certainly not ordinary.

To be honest, I think a personality makes you more individual than material and make-up.

Of course people like expressing themselves differently, and I accept them, I just think it's a little strange.

May i add, not all emos wear black.

Exacty lol - i say it now and i say it again, yeah there is people who think 'emo' look is cool and try it out but to be honest its slowly coming into fashion, maybe not teh tight jeans etc... but the hair, have you noticed that 8/10 posters advertsing clothes have guys with emo hair, an teh dude that refered to teh guy on the bus wearing the 'grandad hat' they are awesomely in fashion, i have one myself and a grandad jacket lol
By saying 'emo' wear tight stuff an have greesy hair etc... you are sterotyping and i been saying and saying it over and over again, i like emo bands and many of my m8s are emos and dnt wear the clothes, you dnt have to be a 'sterotype' to be an emo. Yeah alot of people think its 'the cool' thing at the moment but they're like 1 out of 1000.
An teh eyeliner i dunno whyy its in this forum, if dudes wonna wear eyeliner they can, its not like any1 who dnt wonna wear eyeliner is being forced to wear it lol

Yeh I guess you can be an emo just by listening to the music and nothing more.. but im not so sure, are stereotypes not a way of life as well? Though the music is the most important aspect. Emmzeh, I know not all emo's wear black, but from what i see they do, see them in town alot, all looking the same. I really dont understand the obsession with gerard either.

[Victimized]

All the emo's in my area have to have these essentials: (Well im guessing)

1. Black trousers
2. Black gelled long fringe pushed to the side
3. Red or black tie (like w.t.f?)
4. Big chunky black glasses

Sorry about the stereotype, but that's my observation. I don't understand how music makes you dress in a certain way? Aren't clothes just clothes?

[.:OGGY:.]

Music influences how people dress, i think its because they see what the band/singer wears and maybe copy it, like hard metal/hardcore bands wear gothic clothes and get the audience...
Plus its just evry1 views on fashion, i think people who wear burberry (chavs) think they good cause tehre wearing 'designer'.

[Victimized]

Even though that 'designer' stuff is like £1 from Poundland!

I agree. I don't care what people chose to do with themselves, I will speak to anyone, hell, I'll even speak to chavs if they're alright guys/ girls. The whole emo thing is getting boring and pathetic now though, just like goths did.

The "emo" haircut's actually been around a while, just it's become trademark to emo's to have it now. I think it looks good anyway.

Music doesn't always have an influence on how you dress. Iron Maiden is one of my favourite bands, doesn't mean I dress anything like them or their hardcore fans.

I think some of the criticism for emo's here is fuelled by jealousy anyway.

I said this is the choice sometimes i i think i did - yes it doesnt always apply but people tend to do it. Like the glitterati encouraged me to get a striuped jumper, whcih is only a tiny thing.

goddamn lier of an ex boyfriend

[RedStratocas]

It doesnt matter what its really called though, seeing how the bands and songs remain the same no matter what it means. Calling simple plan "Emotive Hardcore" instead of "emotional" doesnt change the fact that all their songs are "my dad doesnt like me, I should die" songs.

[properclone]

labels, labels. i've nothing agaisnt emo i listen to a bit of emo music... the only thing i find annoying about it is the whole 'my girlfriend dumped me so im going to go and cry in a corner and write a poem about it.'

[ttranquility.]

haha :p I hate when people do that, like you said, yes when your sad you go all hardcore? x] Whats with that.

oh, and, someone on my rep asked me whats my deal with emo, and im saying nothing, it just kinda gets me a little mad when people are all like " ahha, im so emo, i like Gwen Stefani and 50 cent." -.-

True but some artists use emotions to write songs... its pathetic if they sing about normal breakups but if its betrayal, death or joy the songs tend to turn out better than songs about nothing. Alot of artists have stories behind there songs...

Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends, was about the death of Billy Joe's dad (thats not emo dnt get me wrong)

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

(abit later in song)

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

(then later)

like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast

Who cares tbh. Be emo. Be an "emotive hardcore". Stop making a big fuss about it. Just like the goth scene of the early 2000's, the emo scene will die away eventually.

I'm sure people who ''act'' (act being keyword) like an emo will still stop but then again there are just alot of emo's so when you say 'die' away its not like an animal channel.

The emo stalks his prey (the chav) waiting to strike

There were "a lot" of goths, not as many nowadays. Styles and scenes eventually die away, it's a fact of the modern world. Just like fashion and music.

I see your point and kind of agree but you dont know if someone is acting or is an emo. I think people dont understand teh rock catagorys and say 'i'm an emo' when they listen to something like alternative rock... i cant put myself in a catagory because i listen to a range of rock lol

InMe - Alt Rock
The Glitterati - Just Rock
Queen - used to be known as 'glamour rock'
and the list goes on an on.

I appreciate rock music and by listening to loads of different things instead of listenin 2 one specific catagory i'm giving some artists a chance. I would have never listened to InMe if my m8 hadnt forced them upon me and now i going to see them in gig in 13 DAYS!!!!! wooooo! 24th ;)

[Thrilled]

You're whatever you class yourself as. There's no rules to being emo and nobody can tell if you're "acting emo". I know plenty of emo's who have good taste in music (Ie, don't listen to emo ****.) so your music taste doesn't have to follow the "emo way".

[.:OGGY:.]

I never said it had to lol
Many dress like emo cause they want to and you when people complain that 'its just a phase' what does it care to them, ppl can dress however they want to dress... the typical emo hair is 'greesy black' (that what people say anyway) but in my books i see many emos with perefctly clean long black hair... long hair is massively in at the moment... i would know cause i just grown my hair.

I say if you want to dress a certain way you should just do it, so many times have my best m8 said 'omg thats so emo' to me when i try on stuff... like my vans off the walls lol

(i know you wernt saying any of this i just thought i'd bring it up in discussion)

[ttranquility.]

No one is emo by listening to rock bands and stuff, there emo by who they are, not whatever they listen to, they express they're self, and NOT follow all the stupid trends now adays.( Im a Trendsetter myself, but i dont go like " OMG, BRITNEY SPEARS IS THE NEW BACKSTREET BOYS! :p )

That isnt emo, :\ I'm sorry but emo is a a genre of music, not people. You don't call people who listen to rock a rock do you? No. So don't call people who do or don't listen to emo, emo.

okay wow.. you don't know much about 'labels' and 'stereotypes' do you? :|

emo IS a genre of music, yes. but emo is also a label.

Goths = Gothic Metal, other hardcore stuff.
Preps = hip hop, rnb, boy bands, etc.
Gangstas = Rap
Rockers = Rock
Punks = Punk
Skaters = Ska - or - Punk

everyone is entitled to their opinion.. but given you don't seem to know that much on the topic you're so quickly defending, I'd do some research, or get to know some people who listen to (and actually enjoy) emo music.

most people who like emo music like being friends with people who enjoy the same music as them. emo's are usually writers because emo music is so based around lyrics. just as rockers usually play an instrument because most rock is based around the music more than the lyrics. gangsta's usually enjoy rap because they themselves are rappers. punks usually enjoy punk music because it expresses the feelings they have towards certain things. (e.g. erm.. the song title is inappropriate so I'll change it around so you get the drift.. 'fluck' emo by a band called cheap sex)

I am not trying to argue with you, just so you know.

[xJoeYx]

discoloured, 2 things to change.

Goth is not gothic metal, its just goth, and if you actually hear goth, it has a very distinct sound to it.

Moshers = Metal (or something like that) (ooohh maybe grunge) (no i dont know)

people get goths & moshers (i dont know what 2 call metal listeners ..) mixed up.

How is it? Just so you know who listens to what music, maybe we share interests and get along easier if were within the same 'label'.

[Thrilled]

No, labelling is stupid. You're saying you can draw up people's music tastes by what clothing they wear? "Heyyy you dress like a mosher, you must like Nirvana!" No.

And don't forget groups and scenes are different in the US to here, even if they use the same name.

I live in America. We don't have 'moshers' and if anyone here called someone else a mosher they'd be like 'wth is a mosher?'

grunge kind of died out.. it's around the time of kurt cobain.

american goths are mainly about metal.. ;P

Goth's just pretend to believe in Satanism here in the UK, they probably don't even know what it is. And Joey, just admit you're wrong, what you listen to doesn't change a thing really. If you choose to dress like a goth, and hang around with goths, it's most likely you are a goth, whether you listen to 50 cent or [Insert goth band name here].

[RedStratocas]

Just to clear this up, because some people dont get it:

It doesnt matter if its called "Emotional" or "Emotive Hardcore". It could be called "The greatest music genre ever" and its still the same type of music. It still holds simple plan, good charlette, HH ect. Whichever you call it, it doesnt make the music any different at all

No, now you listen to me, if goths pretend they follow satanism, then what makes you not think they are not pretending to be following goth? Its not just the way you dress, isnt there more to a person than appearance. I'll answer that for you, YES.
I'm fairly sure the 'goth' people you describe in your area are posers that don't even know what satanism means, and to clear one thing up, satanism is hardly connected to the Devil (which i undoubtly expect them to argue).

I hate the kids who get offended if you call the music they listen to emo or something, if it really is. Some people think its some kind of insult. :p


Very nice... but happy hippo dancing music iz da fashizzy fo'

[ttranquility.]

Ahh, to end this madness, everyone has different opinouns, to the person who said "its the same type of music" Well, im sorry but its not, xD hardcore, isnt emotional. Look it up for yourslef. But i guess thats only in MY opinoun.

[ttranquility.]

haha at people saying it doesn't mean emotional, it's emotive hardcore.

The word Emo is short for Emotional, so even if it was Emotive Hardcore, IT WOULD BE EMOTIONAL HARDCORE YOU MORONS.


Um, ok, so you have like no right saying what other people think? I could say "she thinks im a loser, right?" and then the girl who i thought she thinks, would say no, im taking the words out of her mouth, well stop doing what your doing to me and the people who THINK it means emotive hardcore. And, not to be mean for my part, but even though its your own opinoun, can you at least be a little nicer? I know alot of people are getting mad over this, but the fact some are being mean, pathetic :\

[ttranquility.]

okay wow.. you don't know much about 'labels' and 'stereotypes' do you? :|

emo IS a genre of music, yes. but emo is also a label.

Goths = Gothic Metal, other hardcore stuff.
Preps = hip hop, rnb, boy bands, etc.
Gangstas = Rap
Rockers = Rock
Punks = Punk
Skaters = Ska - or - Punk

everyone is entitled to their opinion.. but given you don't seem to know that much on the topic you're so quickly defending, I'd do some research, or get to know some people who listen to (and actually enjoy) emo music.

most people who like emo music like being friends with people who enjoy the same music as them. emo's are usually writers because emo music is so based around lyrics. just as rockers usually play an instrument because most rock is based around the music more than the lyrics. gangsta's usually enjoy rap because they themselves are rappers. punks usually enjoy punk music because it expresses the feelings they have towards certain things. (e.g. erm.. the song title is inappropriate so I'll change it around so you get the drift.. 'fluck' emo by a band called cheap ***)

I am not trying to argue with you, just so you know.

Ok so first, yes i do. Second, i didnt read the post ahead of me sorry. And kinda last, yeh i DO know people who listen are labled, my sister is one of them, so is her boy friend greg, WHICH i can send you pictures if you want. :\ And i agree with the last paragraph, thats right. They are writers, and they hangout with people who are into the same music. lmao, and how did this subject get to Gangstars and like thugs, ahah xD

[ttranquility.]

This thread is so lame.

Dear god, let people be who they want to be.
And who are you to say what emo is and isnt?

wait, hold on. :\ Did i say," EVERYONE, EMO MEANS EMOTIVE HARDCORE, AND IF YOU THINK IT DOESNT GO TO HELL!"
And i am letting people be who they want to be, im not saying"everyone be punk and listen to emo music, because we are all cool like that." Yeah, im not, so dont even say anything if you dont know what your saying at all. :\

[Spidey]

Um, ok, so you have like no right saying what other people think? I could say "she thinks im a loser, right?" and then the girl who i thought she thinks, would say no, im taking the words out of her mouth, well stop doing what your doing to me and the people who THINK it means emotive hardcore.

Yes I could be nicer.

But I'd rather not sugar coat things, making reality look nicer.

Besides, I hate emos.

[Not-Thrilled]

Can a mod close this thread? People are just going through the same things over and over and it's boring the balls off me. Nobody (Okay, few) people care about the whole emo scene, if they wanna do it, fine, but lets stop talking about it in a frickin' music forum.

[ttranquility.]

lol, why close it if it bores one person? Maybe people find it interesting.

Spidey, You shouldnt hide reality i agree, but that doesnt mean you have to be mean.

[Aliness]

Nice Quad Post Up there ;O
Have Any of Yew watched the Saw ?
Its got a man, THey capture him, and
Lock him in a room of barbed wire Spaggitti thing
because he cut his wrists and sed he wanted to die
And give him a time limit of like 6hours to get
Out :S You see his body hanging by the end of the barbed wire
close to the exit, He didnt make it by 4oclock
Its Well Bad, That makes Yew think ALOT
Since I watched It, I havent Cut, Woop woop,
Anyways, Not like you care,
Thats all for now,

Just write the post normally? Without the "yew"s preferably but I understand if it makes you look "kewl".

Ok ok, thats great, i'v seen Saw, its a good film, however its not related to the thread atall, so what you going on about it for? Anyway i hope im not being mean, so dont **** at me.please.

And Thrilled, we aren't going to argue, but this thread is in a music forum for a reason, as what i'v been saying.. It's the stereotypes that are built over music genres. People are dressed accordingly to the music they listen to, as they are influenced by it.

[Spidey]

lol, why close it if it bores one person? Maybe people find it interesting.

Spidey, You shouldnt hide reality i agree, but that doesnt mean you have to be mean.
I'm not harsh to everyone.

I'm harsh to things/people who **** me off.

Wow this thread is ancient.

[ttranquility.]

I'm not harsh to everyone.

Why, to make you look cool. ? Oh sorry, but by swearing, i think you've accomplished that.

[Spidey]

Why, to make you look cool. ? Oh sorry, but by swearing, i think you've accomplished that.
I said p.iss.
P.iss is not a swear word.

No, I don't try to make myself look cool, I get angered by idiots like you, so I speak my mind, instead of repressing things.

[Iluminations]

I like most bands under the "emo" catagory, but I think people try to hard to hate everything thats not under that catagory.. or at least tell everyone they do..

Haha.. And the emo scene thing makes me laugh, When you get the emo scenesters that completly just stick their noses up at you, just because they have more piercings or like more underground bands than you, which in my opinion is just plain stupid.

The amount of times I've been kicked out of rooms/shouted at because I disagreed with pretty much everyone in public rooms that "OMGZZZZ LYK GREENDAY IS SO PUNK LYK OMGGZZ EMO" .. but hey, that's my opinion right?

But if you ask me, emo is turning into a scene that way too many people want to be in, like an updated chav version, except not so violent and annoying... :rolleyes:

[Not-Thrilled]

I sometimes consider becoming an emo, but then I see one and remember why I didn't the last time.

[kaut]

I find it funny that the emo scene is supposed to be an underground/indie scene... but at the same time most of the underground is revolting against it.

[beth]

I hate the term emo.
It's just a group of kids who sneer at anything and everything because they think they're cooler.

[Iluminations]

Ummm, I wear converses, I hope that doesn't make me emo..:s

If my boyfriend wore eyeliner, I'd be.. slightly scared.
But I do think that guys with eyeliner is a little bit on the cliche side, which is pretty much what's happening to the emo scene, becoming one big cliche..

You missunderstood my point. The bands in the category "Emo" wont change wether its "hardcore" or "emotional". If someone finds out jimmy eat world isnt "emotional", but rather "Emotive hardcore", does that mean the person wont listen to it anymore now that its called "hardcore". If you ever listen to a song, think its good, look it up and it turns out its labled emo, and you all of a sudden dont like it, you are pathetic. My point wasent argueing the actuall definition of "Emotional" or "Emotive" but rather it doesnt change the music that is already under "Emo". If you dont listen to a band that deep down you like inside, just because of what it is labled, check yourself into a mental institution.

We shouldnt be argueing this at all. Why are we? I dont know where the term "Rock n' Roll" directly came from, but that doesnt mean I dont know what it is, or that I dont like it. Where did the name "rap" come from? Who cares? Its music you idiots. How about instead of listening to eachother calling a music genre stupid or label eachother, how about we listen to music, because I think thats the point of it.

[Iluminations]

Are you using Jimmy as an example of Emo music.. :s

And.. I agree totally. It's like.. Take for instance,

Emokid: Oh I think I'll make myspace, that seems the emo thing to do nowadays

Emokid: Oh hmmm -RubsChin- It says I need to name some music..

EmoKid: *looks at a few of the emo scenesters myspace music list* ..*writes down* *puts in his/her music list*

Emokid: Ahh, now I must be cool !

...And I'm sure alot of people are going to disagree with me here, but I do know alot of people who do that, and if i ask them .. for instance, what song they like, they'll say "Well.. errmm.. I dont listen to them THAT much.."

Haha, I dont know what they are, they just poped into my head. Just an example, I dont care/know/want to know what they are, because no matter what they are, Id still listen to them.

[Iluminations]

Ah, Nevermind then.

And I just noticed you have myspace too, ..So I didn't mean to use you as an exmaple, just in case you thought I was. :p

[RedStratocas]

Ah, Nevermind then.

And I just noticed you have myspace too, ..So I didn't mean to use you as an exmaple, just in case you thought I was. :p

Lol, its ok. I put all the bands Ive listened to lately on my page. Haha, I dont know what label people think of me as really, I dont look like anything specific, really:p I know its wrong wrong to label, but its done.

[chipie60]

I told my mate what it means shes like No it isnt! >:l -.-'

This is the definition of 'emo' from wikipedia pleasee ;

Initially, the term "emo" was an abbreviation of "emocore", itself short for "emotional hardcore", and was coined to describe the music of the mid-1980s DC scene and its associated bands. The most recognizable names of the period included Rites of Spring, Embrace, Beefeater, Grey Matter, Fire Party and slightly later, Moss Icon. The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s.

Starting in the mid-1990s, the term "emo" largely reflected the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi, which itself was an offshoot of the first wave of emo. Bands including Sunny Day Real Estate, and Texas Is the Reason put forth a more indie rock brand of emo, which was more melodic and less chaotic in nature than its predecessor. The so-called "indie emo" scene survived until the end of the 1990s, as many of the bands either disbanded or shifted their style to the mainstream.

As the remaining indie emo bands entered the mainstream, newer bands began to emulate the more mainstream style, creating a style of music that has now earned the moniker "emo" within popular culture. Whereas, even in the past, the term "emo" was used to identify a wide variety of bands, the breadth of bands listed under today's emo is even more vast, leaving the term "emo" as more of a loose identifier than as a specific genre of music.

In all of its forms, emo music generally shares some of the same concepts: personal, meaningful lyrics, usually of an introspective nature, and a deep connection with a band's audience.

I think MANY people have actually lost the meaning of emo. But yeah, go wikipedia <3

I didnt exactly say that if someone chooses a song and they like it then it turns out to be emo they are going to stop listening to it. I said the defenition on what i think it is, because i looked it up and such :$

And Bethie, i adore your post. =] Wikipedia is awesome <3 x]

[beth]

If everyone listened to wikipedia,
the world would be hot <3

yesyes.

Real people don't label themselves period.

[.:OGGY:.]

I been away for 3 weeks and this thread lasted lol
Is Bert McCracken from The Used? My best m8 loves them, i might eb wrong though

[J!]

What a dam well stupid description?

I would call myself half emo due to the fact i dont like tight jeans...
I think if you want to be an emo you dont have to look like teh 'typical image'. Alot of people now use sterotypes.
Yeah alot of emos have long hair (they tend to put their fringe over to one side) and yeah well the jeans are true. I think they kinda look stupid with light jeans, my m8 boyfriend buys womens jeans cause mens jeans aint tight enough :s
An teh glasses thing, thats a description of 'nerd glasses' which are very in at teh moment... there very bold black even big sunglasses (aviators) are in.

Lmao!, Aviators aren't EMO, emo's for gay guys who forget to cut their hair.And when they drop a stone they say Pardon Me. The best music is heavy metal by far, then theirs punk rock. And "Nerd Glasses" aint anything like aviators.And your not half emo because you dont like tight jeans. Some ravers round our area dont even like tight jeans, so are you half rvaer/half goth/half punk/half mosher....no, I dont think so.

So i would say to you "What a dam well stupid description?"

Kthnxbi

[Amehh.]

;D Emo rules.

[NekkLe]

Emo's a fashion statment {My opinion};)

[.:OGGY:.]

Kthnxbi

I wasnt saying aviators are emo lol i for one have never seen a emo wear sunglasses, i actually havnt seen a emo wear bold glasses... i think there awesome 'nerd glasses' makes me wnt 2 poke my eyes cause i really wnt some lol
I think its hard to 'sterotype' me into one group... i listen to 2 many music catagories... i love inme and the alt rock, i love love queen and they were regarded as glamour rock, then again i love cher i think she rocks (she isnt rock i mean she rules). I do listen to emotive rock.
An one ma best m8s goes out with a fully emo and he isnt gay... i asked my m8 on bus today why she thought emo's wore tight jeans... its because they think ist fashion not cause there gay... like i sterotypin here but 'chavs' like burberry and goths like corsettes (well one of my other m8s does, i have many friends lol)... its what people see as fashionable and i dislike people that just because people wear or act camp they automatically think there gay.
I'm sorry if you think i'm having a go at you, i'm truely not... i'm a very outspoken person, so dnt take it as an offence... i see this as a healthy debate.


Emo's a fashion statment {My opinion};)
I truely agree lol, well halfly... it isnta fashion statement its what type of music they listen to. but the emo look is a fashion statement, emo's in general are a catagory of music.

[beth]

emo's for gay guys who forget to cut their hair

That is such an ew sentence. Guys with emo hair is hot, and like dude.. gay people are cool (H).

[mynameishelen!]

I hate the way people class other people as emos because of the way they look. I have black/purplish hair and a side fringe that covers one eye, so some people assume I'm an emo.
I like a lot of emo music too, but I wouldn't class myself as en emo, they're thought of as depressed wrist-slitting teenagers, and I don't wanna be thought of like that :p

[MasterOfPuppets]

I don't care what it means
What's the big deal with the "appearance" of "emo", and especially the freakin' music.. I mean I could get into 1 or 2 bands that were labelled as "emo" but not excessively like some people because I know their music tires so quickly and there is WAY better out there.
