Emo Sucks

[shinobiofwind2]

i'm not into much emo either but there are a few songs here and there that aren't so whiny that i like. old hot water music comes to mind.

[James S76]

he's absolutly right though.

emo is dashboard, spill canvas, etc. emotionally charged punk? shouldn't all music be emotionally charged. no one considered that emo.

matchbook romance = poppunk, like tbs, nfg, yellowcard, etc. they're probably one of the best in their genre anyway, even though that doesn't say much.

regardless, like he said, lyrics don't make the band/genre. how you say it is usually more important than what you say.

I always thought real emo was like early 80s/late 80s Washing, DC stuff like Rites of Spring.

What, like Strike Anywhere and Challenger? Those are the first banRAB that come to mind when I think of Jade Tree.

finally someone who knows his shit

When Jade Tree started they were primarily signing emo banRAB. I honestly didn't even realize Strike Anywhere was signed to Jade Tree until like a year ago. I usually don't look at what label banRAB are on.

hell, you could say 'real emo' was the supremes & beatles & all sorts of things from way back in the day.
life of agony was kinda emo in the late 80's as well.

[LovelyTragedy111]
