Members papa taco Posted December 19, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 I came to this realization when I turned on the radio and they played some {censored} called "My Chemical Romance." It was hair metal redressed as something slightly different. It was essentially a ballad of gaydom. No wait, that's an insult to gay people. ps. I'm a gay rodeo clown.

Members Soundstorm Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 Couldn't be more true. This is definitely one of those "what the {censored} was I thinking" fads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members powerplayj Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 Yeah, and I hate it like my parents hated 80's metal. Funny thing about My Chemical Romance is they are the only band I can really tolerate although they seem a bit more punkish than EMO. Hell, when you're forced to listen to Green Day all day by three rock stations owned by the same corporation, you'll accept anything different.

Members Flaat Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hmm.. emo started in the late 80's, didn't it.. and nowadays "everything" is called emo. In the beginning it was close to early hardcore.. And that is definitely not popular these days.. I'm very fond of what they call Emo Indie, or simply Indie or Indy. Glorybox is one of my favourites, very close to Mogwai in sound. Definitely not a fad, these people make good, relaxed music. The "original" emo, though.. music sounds to me like a teenage riot of some sort.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kriegsemann Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 It has the same qualities. There was some good stuff at first, and a real underground scene that was pretty cool. Then the recording execs figured out they could sell it to teenage girls and boys weather the bands were actually any good or not, and the market was flooded, bringing the overall quality of the genre down, and pissing off those of us who were kinda into the earlier, not crappy stuff (like me) and making it all annoying.And I still like My Chemical Romance.

Members Lucas S. Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 Old "emo" and todays "emo" are very different things. For starters I think emo is the stupidest genre name anyone has ever came up with. Bands like Fugazi used to be called emo by some, I love Fugazi. Bands like hawthore heights are called emo now by most, I HATE hawthorne heights. To recap FUGAZI AWESOME, hawthore heights LAME! Emo was just the next thing for mtv and radio to jump on and devour before moving onto something new. Does anyone else think its weird that the same time hair bands came back, dancy new wave music came back. Lucas S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCR is pretty punkish, because it's no secret the band is hugely influenced by AFI. Hell, their first album sounded almost only punk/hardcore, moreso than "emo".... AFI feels like an ancient band compared to MCR, though. That being said I really dig MCR. I can't help it. And I like that the singer dresses up in mascara and all, call me gay if you will, but it's a guilty pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that would be pretty awesome just so long as the bands measured up. I really can't imagine another Nirvana or Smashing Pumpkins... +1 on the "emo" term being kind of lame. I thought Sunny Day Real Estate was emo.... Hawthorne Heights just sounds pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ScreamCage Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 I have big problems with most bands that are considered "Emo" today. Hawthorne Heights is easily in the top 3 of worst bands today. They have no originality, and are just about impossible to listen to without keeling over in pain from bleeding ear drums. That is, of course, unless you actually like them, in which case you'll soon be keeling over from lack of brain cells. I'm not a big fan of Fall Out Boy, either. Although I don't really consider them to be Emo, most people who like that genre also like Fall Out Boy. The Sugar We're Going Down song was the worst thing on the radio for some time, or rather it would of been, had Hawthorne Heights not just released Ohio Is For Lovers (brr). I do however, like Fall Out Boy's new single, Dance Dance, in which case it may be a case of touch and go fandom with me and these guys. I have a few friends who like them, though, so I'm willing to put up with it. I do however like quite a few bands that have been kind of mixed in with the genre. I think that The Killers is one of the best bands out there right now. I'm also a huge fan of My Chemical Romance (lay off them, papa:mad: ). I think that they have a very good sound, and i don't care what you might say about me for saying this: I seriously liked Helena. I think Way showed great talent for being a singer and a frontman in that song. I also liked Ghost of You, though not as much as Helena. I'm also a big fan of Interpol. They're one the bands that are closer to the original Emo, although now they'd be defined as more Emo Indie. Still a really cool band, with an awsome drummer. As for the original Emo bands, I'm an over the top fan of Tears for Fears. I do not, however, like The Cure. Just not my schtick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
