do you think emo is the new
punk?
i was just noticing a few years back punk was
the in thing well you go online and on mtv
which i dont watch my friend told me and they
don't talk about punk anymore its all
about emo.
even my friend who i hate this word but it
aplys and i think you'll get my point a
teeny bopper two words i guess well anyway
the trend is punk she wheres converse with
long hair and normal part and trys to
"stand out" now emo is
"cool" and amazingly her
wardrobe changed to etnes i don't know how
to spell a white studded belt and a side part
which she thinks makes her look emo but makes
her look like a "prep" and trys
not to be noticed and just left alone key
things in the emo fasion society trys to
instill in your head starts listening to
mainstream emo like fall out boy (there okay
but they seem more emo pop is there such a
thing) mcr there awesome not sure if they are
emo or not but are classified emo mtv emo i
guess you could call it im not asking if you
think my friend is a poser im asking if you
think emo is the new punk the new trend the
new mtv project what do you think?

Personally i hate emo. period. its stupid,
the whole idea of depression just kind of
depresses me :) but seriously there is not
point in singing all of your songs about
depressing things, i hate emo. ive said it
once and ill say it again. I dont think its
the new punk/trend, i think its just because
all of these emo bands get a one hit wonder
and all of the sudden they are cool and loved
by preppy bitches and then that depresses the
'real emos' moreso. The main thing
that pisses me off about 'them' is the
way they dress, i mean it doesnt really
matter either way i guess, its all up to them
how they dress, but why? i mean im a guy and
i know i wouldnt want to be caught dead
wearing eyeliner and/or womens pants, and the
hair, some of it isnt bad, but they get
pretty extreme. And then theres the emos
that always try to get attention, ive known
some who have literally cut their wrists for
attention, its just dumb, one day i hope they
learn that this is just a fad and that there
is no point in dressing like a girl, that
died in the eighties. enough said. | crimsonandred |
I'm sure I read somewhere that Emo was a
"lame imitation of Punk" or
"Punk with more crying" or
something like that. Someone asked me today
whether emo was just "Goth"
without the make up. Have to disagree.
Yes, I think that emo is the new
"trend" and with it brings in a
load of new "posers" who want
to be "emo" to "fit
in" but just end up looking stupid. I
have no problem with people dressing
"emo" or whatever (in fact I
welcome it ^.^) but it's just annoying
that, like every other trend that ever
existed, there are people who want to look
that way because it's the new
"in" look.
I hate "fashion" so I think
I'm changing the way I dress to avoid
being called a "poser" =P lol.
Don't think emo's going to catch on
where I live so I think I'm safe =P
I also don't see what the problem is with
guys wearing eyeliner. I suppose it's
because make up is a "girl
thing" but I thought that view went
out of the window ages ago... | CoNe_LoVeR_666 |
oh where to begin...emo isn't really a
trend..or even trying to make a
statement...its not even really about
depression..its about expressing the music.
emo is beautiful..it makes pain & heartache a
beautiful thing. & no, emo isn't the new
punk. you're friend probably hasnt grasped
the concept of its definition, & is basing
her assuptions on it the way mtv plays emo
off ((which is a horrible interpretation to
follow)) fallout boy..not emo. hawthorne
heights..eehh...theyre more indie/post
hardcore...both are good bands ...just not
good "emo" bands. emo is
beautiful.punk is loud.theres really no
replacing one with the other. | xX_Emo_Kisses_Xx |
hawthorne heights = emocore/indie/hardcore
sorry bout that | xX_Emo_Kisses_Xx |
"is basing her assuptions"
**his
I think it's just a matter of opinion
because emo seems to be taking over! (Well
not more than chavs...) | CoNe_LoVeR_666 |
wow. crimsonandred(who i agree with on this
issue)just complained about a band singing
about politics. NOW he is complaining about
bands who sing about depression. what the
hell? | SOADfreak |
I 'complain' about singing about
politics because politics cause so much anger
and people get so pissed when they talk about
it because their candidate is 'always
right' no matter what, and nobody wants to
listen to a bunch of that shit, especially in
music, plus they scream like no other,
'screamo' is one thing but SOAD is a
whole new slew of yells. As for depressing
music, i hate it, yes, there is no point in
singing about being depressed and how much
the world sucks. Thats why i dont like
country music(that and the fact it plain out
sounds like shit) but country music is too
depressing, its been said that if you are
having a shitty day to NOT listen to country
music because it WILL make you depressed.
But emo is no different, why listen to music
that will make you want to kill yourself? it
doesnt make sense to me.(plus i think most of
the lead singers for these emo bands have
high whiny voices that get annoying) | crimsonandred |
Politics confuses me... lol.
I'm really confusing then because when I
listen to "emo" songs, they
make me feel better, not worse. Some of the
songs that I listen to have really depressing
lyrics but they seem to make everything
*right* for me in the world (when in reality
the human race is fucked =D). | CoNe_LoVeR_666 |
That doesnt make sense. Emo music is
depressing, but its not just that, the way
guys dress themselves up like women, whats
that all about? That REALLY doesnt make any
sense, guys used to do that in the eighties
too, and it was gay back then, now its gotten
worse because you see these guys and they are
just creepy looking, they have the bleeding
mascara(pardon the pun) makeup,lipstick,
BLACK hair, blacker than black hair mind you,
and they are all dressed in black too, i just
dont get it, is there some reasoning to this,
someone explain this to me. | crimsonandred |
actually..."coner" is right...i
guess it all really depends on who you are &
how you react to specific things.when i am
depressed...i listen to emo, it sort of calms
me down i guess..it pulls me in..its sort of
liked an "escape"...when im
pissed..i listen to hardcore..get all my
frustration out in the music....it works for
me i guess...once again..i guess it all
depends on who you are... | xX_Emo_Kisses_Xx |
as far as the whole dressing thing goes..i
personally think it's beautiful on a
guy...which of course, ive always had a thing
for guys who wear make up...i remember when i
was little, i fell in LOVE with robert smith,
because he was the first guy id seen to wear
lipstick ((note: he wasnt the first to...just
the first id SEEN at that age)) emo..it isnt
all about depression..its a
lifestyle....there are two different kinds of
emo kids.(for the most part)
you have your "original emo"
kids...the thick black-rimmed glasses, the
advertisement tees, tight jeans, guys still
wearing some girl clothing
then you have your "new age"
emo kids. the dyed black hair, loads of
eyeliner, guys sometimes wearing other
makeup..usually a lip piercing or two....
there..you happy?..i just filled in your
stereotyping for you. i figured id get it out
of the way...
theres really no specific reasoning for the
dressing..its music expressed through
fasion....& i think its beautiful. | xX_Emo_Kisses_Xx |
"'screamo' is one thing but SOAD
is a
whole new slew of yells."
so you only like screaming that sounds the
same. and we have gone over the whole SOAD
screaming thing. they dont scream that often.
they do much more singing than screaming. i
am sorry you still cannot comprehend what i
have been telling you.
"As for depressing
music, i hate it, yes, there is no point in
singing about being depressed and how much
the world sucks."
atreyu's music is even more whiney and
depressing than hawthorne heights. | SOADfreak |
SOAD im not gonna get into it with you again,
because i think its annoying when you come in
and talk shit about everything. | crimsonandred |
Hey EmoKisses, thanks for that clarification,
i know its all about expression, i just think
its weird, i couldnt stand wearing black all
of the time and i especailly couldnt stand it
to wear girls pants(yes ive seen it and i
dont know how it is physically possible lol:)
) but thats okay, whatever floats your boat
right? and heres a question, is hawthorne
heights considered emo, that somewhat have
that 'style' and i guess some of there
stuff might be 'emo' but i dont know if
they are or not, either way i like em, theyre
sweet. | crimsonandred |
Emo died in '84.
What is out now is Screamo.
Huge fuckin' difference. | losersalwayswin |
In your eyes, every fucking music genre
*died* at least a decade ago **rolls eyes**
=) | CoNe_LoVeR_666 |
emo definately didnt die in 84 :s
a slew of emo bands came up in the 90s..&
obviously it isnt dead...or we wouldnt be ON
the topic. & yes..there is still emo out.
hawthorne heights..eehh..i wouldnt as much
consider it emo as i would indie rock... | xX_Emo_Kisses_Xx |
I agree with EmoKisses, it obviously isnt
dead(sadly - jk) but yes there is screamo as
well. I dont know, i guess its all a matter
of what you would call 'emo' | crimsonandred |
| i like to consider it all crap in general. | SOADfreak |
punk died in the late 70s early 80s yet
people for some reason still think Green day
is punk so yes i think this new genre isnt
emo yes screamo or power pop not emo and emo
stands for emotional punk and the "emo
we have around now is talking about cutting
our wrists because our girlfriend dumped us
not politics | FattyMcfatfat18 |
and its music not a fasion trend its what
ever makes your "ears
pleasured" i listen to grunge yet
people expect me to wherev flannal and i say
i listen to it | FattyMcfatfat18 |
No it isn't.
Real emo is actually a subgenre of hardcore
orginal emo was just like hardcore but with
more emotions
the "emo" we listen is not
actual emo
the emo we listen to the term for it was
coined in the late 90s by people trying to
describe bands like braid and promise ring
,and the getup kids
do you remember when we called
"emo" bands pop punk? | smorgy |
im telling you guys, calling it crap makes it
a lot easier. | SOADfreak |
once again..emo did not die in the 80's
people...it made its biggest break in the
90's...& something obviously can't make
a break if it's dead.
the promise ring IS emo.
the get up kids
juliana theory
bright eyes (more on the indie side though)
& no..those bands' songs arent all about
cutting your wrists or whatever.
it disapoints me that people assume things,
based on what they hear, or what they bring
it upon themselves to say as fact. | xX_Emo_Kisses_Xx |
yes, once again people, you need to be
general.
genre? crap.
lyrics? whining. | SOADfreak |
okay..i'm trying to make an intellegent
argument..you're just jumping in with
random mindless comments...but carry on..i
mean, whatever entertains you... | xX_Emo_Kisses_Xx |
I agree with EmoKisses that the songs arent
all about cutting your wrists and what not,
but i also agree with SOADfreak, they are too
whiny, i dont know, some bands just have too
whiny of a lead singer, and the lyrics are
the same way, but i do like to listen to an
occasional emo song
| crimsonandred |
being emo doesnt mean being a heartbroken
loser who has nowhere 2 turn to but music. i
dont care what other people think about emo
cause my only concern is what i think. i
think emo is expressing your feelings in
lyrics or poems. | lefsa |
not mindless.
hawthorne heights. thats mindless.
random? yes. mindless? no.
and thats quite okay, this whole site is
random(and mindless). | SOADfreak |
"Thats just like...your opinion
man"
-The Dude (The Big Lebowski) | crimsonandred |
ok...i drop this forum...
...you can't win an argument with someone
who has no point...so...i'm out.

emo is not the new punk.......emo is just a
phase. people will stop acting depressed over
the probloms they don't have when they
grow up and as for "emo" music,
emo does not stand for emotional. if you
think about it, every type of music is emo
because every type of music has some kind of
emotion. emo isn't even a real genere.
it's just something for people to make
money on. i do really like all the
"emo" bands as some of you
people put it though | blackrain13 |
calling it emo is not purly for the use of
calling 'emotional.' it puts the extra
emphasis on it, as in these emo bands are
just taking the emotion shit too far. | SOADfreak |
Ugh. Stupid emo-haters. It's sad. And what
you are describing is scene, not emo. Now
excuse me, I am depressed right now, I need
to let it out. Goodbye world. | Suffocate_Me_Dry |
im not an emo hater, i said i do like those
so called emo bands | blackrain13 |
How dare anyone compare emo to punk! maybe it
is the "new thing" but it
fucking sux balls! I cannot belive anyone
would listen to that shit. You heard me
Hawthorne Heights,Taking Back Sunday, and
Story Of The Year, YOU SUCK!!!!!!! | Fender |
| Oh, and From First To Last | Fender |
now hopefully that asshole suffocate_me_dry
let their emotions out by killing
themselves.
if you did not, i strongly adise you to do
so! | SOADfreak |
| *cries* | Suffocate_Me_Dry |
| This might just be the end.... | Suffocate_Me_Dry |
It's hard to tell whether or not he's
being serious... | XratedRomance |
