I hate people who..

[FlyingJesus]

YES! i think people who are truly devoted to music wouldnt brag about the fact, but others might do for them. noticed every emo has those EXACT words on their myspace:

'people say music is their life, they dont have a clue'



never say that to me again, i'm serious. i do not care, as i do not believe the fact that the 2 most diverse sections that hate each other, were once united.

maybe 'pop-punk' and 'emo' were once together because they ARE both emo. pop punk is just a stupid way to avoid being a 'crowd follower' or just some emo band. they say they are punk because everyone loves my genre of music. i am correct.

if i were even related to such of an emo, i would clock myself right now. i'm not getting into this argument again, because ive had it too many times with people thinking they understand my completely correct view on emo music.

emo / pop-'punk' / scene are all the same. shoddy music with no real reason or rhyme. it is my opinion, and im not listening to yours.

i will not talk to you about this further, because i'm sick up to here with it.

So you then are one of these people who get defensive over music... well it's all good if you're actually right, but you're not. I like a lot of punk music and not so much emo (although some is good), and I think basically you're just launching an attack on the emo fashion rather than the music. If you've ever heard any emo music you can tell that it roots in punk.

Your "completely correct" view on emo music is a load of crap, sorry. And if as you said I just don't get it, do explain.

saame
i hate it when people are like 'music is my life' but dont play an instrument, or get involved with anything musical

Same here, I was actually gonna make a thread on this. It shows how stupid they are.

emo is punk.
it was started by a bunch of people from the DC hardcore scene. ian mackaye of minor threat (whose complete discography album has been voted the best punk album of all time) was in several emo bands. just alot of people have a distorted view that a bunch of eyeliner pop-punk bands are emo.

Minor Threat pretty much did start it. Then influencing bands like SOIA, Bad Brains & Black Flag. Bad Brains what homophobes haha.

[YoManGo!]

haha ennit. it's kinda funny that the whole hardcore thing was meant to be based on equality and unity and yet arguably one of the most popular bands it spawned were blatent homophobes.

Yeah it's such a contradiction. But Bad Brains stayed true to their rasta roots and thus sung about it. I heard somewhere they got into a fight with another famous band from the scene(forgot their name) cos 1 or 2 of the members were gay haha. Minor Thread discography is not bad atall!

tbh i don't care about their views on issues like that. as long as the music's good i'll buy it
MT discog is like my 2nd favorite album ever

[jackass]

ok, first of all.. what music do you like.

second. i hate people who are like "OMGZ RAP IS **** YOU CANT CALL IT MUSIC ZOMG"

can you call randomly strumming a guitar music? no you cant.

i like rock rap and RNB but when someone gets defensive over a type of music or starts attacking another is just sad.

But rap music isn't music really, it sucks also.

And stumming on a guitar while singing is music, its the original music.

[YoManGo!]

no, the original music is slapping an animal skin. don't act on history's behalf.
and what part of rap isn't music? rap is a singing style - it can go over any kind of musical backing, whether it be computer generated or done on instruments, as demonstrated by the roots.

Pop-Punk is not emo at all. Whoever says FOB, MCR, P@tD, TBS are emo bands are either trying to stereotype people too much or are trying to be crowd followers.

I have to go on last fm to find out that some idiots class Yellowcard as emo. I don't think any yellowcard song really has any emo lyrics, or sounds emo.

Emo is a style of music, but MCR is not emo, and IS punk-pop, like blink 182. Some emo bands are like 'first to last' and halifax and even those are slightly leaning towards the pop-punk style. Well, in my opinion.

[YoManGo!]

good pop-punk is positive and uplifting 95% of the time anyway.
hurrah for latterman, teenage bottlerocket and new found glory!
