Members angelhair0 Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 The band, Brand New. Their new album is awesome. They went effect crazy.

Members jalfredprufrock Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 I think they're okay. At least they're trying. Still a little too pop / histrionic for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rushfan2112 Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Because we're all mature adults here and we all realize that the 2000's version of "emo" is a stupid generalization, right?Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L6Sguy Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 usually i like buying used, but on occasion i'll go for new if i dont wanna wait around. buying used introduces a game-like element though, which i find entertaining though........... oh, you meant.......

Right? Definitely. Emo exists, but everyone will laugh at that and make fun of it simply because most people associate that term with what the modern day music industry has bastardized it into.Rites Of SpringClikitat IkatowiAngel Hair (yea, that's where I got my username from.)Four Hundred YearsJULIA - AMAZING bandSleepytime TrioEARLY Engine Down and...EARLY ExploderMohinderHooverSwing KidsPalatkaTextbook TraitorsALL effect-less, and all completely mainstream-less. They not only would HATE what people call emo today, but they have probably never even heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members angelhair0 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Sunny Day and Texas Is The Reason have very apparent emo roots. I would safely call their stuff (and the first two SDRE albums, not really the second two) emo... but more specically POST-emo rock (or indie rock). I know that sounds silly... I'm not trying to suck the meaning out of the music by classifying it so heavily. But when comparing SDRE to... Palatka.. it's night and day.

Members jalfredprufrock Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 I love how every pop/punk star who's bought a Mogwai album in the past 2 years suddenly thinks they're Fripp and Eno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Klisk Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Originally posted by angelhair0 Why thank you sir... emo debates are always nuts. I was afraid I'd spark one... Nah, I think we all know the difference betwen old/true emo and the "new" bastardized emo around here on HCFX.. You're right.But even though I've been (long) educated on oldschool emo, I'm also at the point where I feel there's no way to exactly deny the new form of the term. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, and all that. 90% of people are going to think Hawthorne Heights when you say emo, not Sunny Day Real Estate.

Members StevoHuff Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 The new Brand New CD is awesome. Effects out the butt, and it hit me as being alot more mature than the other Brand New albums. I noticed alot of the songs to be about religion/dying. I hear that alot of the songs are based off of a drunk driving homicide (forgive me for no link). I'm wondering if maybe Jesse is related some how in this incident?
