Members fatbackribs Posted June 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 Fugazi was playing great rock music long before someone else labelled it "Emo" Ian's project before Fugazi, Egghunt seemed to lay out the current Emo-sound pretty well though...

Members beezdeez Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 Well, see the whole "emo" label came from a style of music that had intense emotional lyrics. Fugazi was one of the bands at the beginning of the emo label. I guess the moral of the story is that emo of yesteryear is much different than what people refer to as emo of today.

Fugazi isn't emo, it's post-hardcore. Sunny Day Real Estate isn't emo, it's post-emo indie rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elliott Damage Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 emo was short for emotional hardcore. all music has emotion but not everything is emo. a few hardcore bands were really going over the top with the personal reflection stuff and thus emo-core was born. the title really only applies to that early hardcore stuff.

I'm glad you came in with insight. I'll be the first to say that Fugazi was a great band, as was SDRE but I don't really know much about the history of it all. I was just a wee one around that time. Good to know a little history behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Klisk Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 I don't really think emo is a worthwhile term, at this point it has no meaning, and it has been watered down with redundancy and an insane amount of sub-genre's.I'd much rather refer to modern "emo" as "scenester" music, if only because that's what is popular right now. It won't be popular forever. In 10 years people will be whining about how they miss "their" music and everyone will agree over on the amp forums, a la hair metal.Kidding aside, since when do emo kids play Crates? Numetal kids played crates, but that's over with. Emo kids play overpriced mesa amps that they bought on their rich daddies credit card. (No offense to the rich kids who like good music, of course, but I digress.)Then again, Crate makes a couple good amps. I have an oldschool bass head by crate that rocks with my ampeg cab.Just listen to what you like. People worrying about labels are almost as bad as the kids "scening it up."

Members fatbackribs Posted June 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 I was poking a little fun at a genre I clearly don't appreciate. What really matters is that music is important to a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. In other words......It's all relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members milodubsky Posted June 4, 2006 Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 After hearing many discussions similar to this I have decided to boycott all music labelling. With so many different genre names they end up meaning nothing, and terms change so often and relate to different styles anyway. Now when describing how a certain band sounds I always refer to other artists. As in 'X' sounds like a cross between 'Y' and 'Z'. Much less confusion that way IMO...
