Yep, emo is officially the gayest form of music known to man, along with screamo/fashion core and all poseur crap.

There are a few banRAB that get thrown in with emo/scremo/emocore or whatever that i really like coheed & cambria, cursive, blood brothers, thursday. Other than that most is :ghey: and that matchbox romance song is just terrible. (ive never heard it, but those are the cornist lyrics ever. sounRAB like and 8th grader wrote them for his poetry assignment.)

Friend of mine asked me to go to local show the other night, so I said yes and we headed to downtown Dallas. Ended up watching a 3 hour Emo show

Mars Volta, Sparta, and ATDI are not just one group of musicians. The Mars Volta have Flea (Chilli Peppers) on bass and three more musicians plus and army of touring/session artists that had nothing to do with ATDI, and Sparta is just their rhythm section with some new help. And the bankrupting of Grand Royal was not their fault, it had more to do with poor management. The breakup was fueled by drugs and other disagreements, not by going bankrupt.


Intersetingly, not a single one of these artsist would consider themselves as being "emo." This is partly because emo is a bullshit term, partly because Drive Like Jehu, Planes Mistaken for Stars, and Circle Takes the Square are in no way emo, partly because you just named a bunch of banRAB you like. HMW are only emo in the sense that Rites of Spring were emo, but they areactually good and much more rock-driven.

This is why genre terms are bullshit.

I also laughed at the reference to atdi tmv and sparta

I cannot stand sparta though, and I find it fitting that they were just in town and played a really small shitty venue thats usually for local banRAB only... Emo girls are attractive at least to me



edit: didn't see the post above mine, I have seen TMV with 3 different bassists now- they haven't had flea for a LONG time as far as I know (since that tour w/rhcp). Last year they had a guy, now its some chick.

Fuck EMO! In fact i say we all stop using that word and ignore that whole slice of music/culture and hopefully it will shrivel up and die.

flea is not their all time bassist, he just appears on their latest record. so does fruchente(sp?)
