Emo Community Thread

[tornpictures]

Yeah it's not like the olden days, I know, but there's still a few bands like Toru Okada and Wow, Owls!. Sure, the music's not exactly like how it used to be, but it's still around. Emo is almost completely dead, though.


And JFFB are just emo. Sure they're fast, but they lack that completely chaotic signature screamo sound.


You don't really get the whole screamo concept do you

[Wow]

I get what I've been told for the past..... three years. If I'm wrong, oh well.

[Sep]

What's the best Yaphet Kotto album?

[tornpictures]

First two albums.. Syncopated and The Killer

[Sep]

So I'm thinking about ordering the following cds from 29northrecords.

- Hot Cross - Fair Trades or A New Set Of Lungs (someone tell me which is better)

- City Of Caterpillar - S/t

- A Day In Black And White - My Heroes Have Always Killed Cowboys

- Bright Calm Blue - A Direct Approach For Casual Conversation

- Yaphet Kotto - The Killer Was In The Government Blanket (except if someone thinks one of their other two is better)

- Stop It!! - Self Made Maps.

[tornpictures]

New Set of Lungs.

[Sep]

O.k.

[Wow]

If I were you I'd get Syncopated and The Killer and lose one of the other albums, like ADIBAW.

[Sep]

I've put off buying that ADIBAW cd for too long.

[tornpictures]

If I were you I'd get Syncopated and The Killer and lose one of the other albums, like ADIBAW.

Definitely! Good point.

And also get the new Sinaloa instead of maybe the Bright Calm Blue record.

[Sep]

Yeah I wanted to get the Sinaloa one but it's sold out.

[tornpictures]

Wiat a week or two

[Sep]

Yeah I will 'cause I still have to try and get my dad to let me use his credit card.

[Wow]

Yeah, I didn't realise it was BCB's new record on the list. Ditch that. Not that great.

[Saturday Supercade]

My Heroes have always killed cowboys is good you should defenitely buy it..ditch BCB or HotCross.

[Wow]

He should ditch both My Heroes and BCB for Syncopated and Sinaloa.

[Saturday Supercade]

true..but he should also buy My Heroes

[Wow]

Nah. He should just download it and listen to it for a day before it gets old. Yes, the album's amazing, but it didn't have much replay value for me. Besides "The Gaze."

[Sep]

I've had it on my Creative Zen for ages and it has definitely not become boring. I still get shivers every time I hear The Illusion To The End.

And no way am I ditching BCB.

Probably won't get Hot Cross- and get either the Sinaloa (if they get it) or the other Yaphet Kotto for it.

[tornpictures]

Sinaloa

[6_Nightmares]

i recently got cryonics by hot cross... i seem to be listening to it more and more.

[drivingnaked]

hey i got a question!! I couldn't open a new threat because I did not have permission to access this page and consequently i will write it down here. So, I would like to know what special guitar techniques are used in emo/emocore or do they have a certain scheme or something like this? What are the differences to a punk guitar? Can you show me any examples?
If there is a threat with the same question I'm sorry but i didn't found one.
thanks for the help...

[tornpictures]

Sep- if you want Cryonics on CD, I'll send it to you for a couple bucks + shipping

[Sep]

I'd buy it if I didn't live in Oman. The postal service here is too unreliable.

I'd buy it off you next time I go to Holland, though.

[whiteminority]

well you dont have to use post service all the time i thought, are there not international courier services that will take your package for a fee?

Usually the guitar players use picks, and play notes until they feel it sounds good, then make a song with it.

[tornpictures]

Ha Ha Ha. Not funny.

Drivingnaked- Mostly octave chords (like 7x9, but just try using more strings, even all six. As long as it sounds good)

dont say emocore. its redundant. emo= emotional hardcore hence emocore=emotion hardcore hardcore. see its stupid.

[marc man]

Emo Sucks Mega ****!

[deathscreamingsheep]

^^ I doubt you even know what emo is.

[deadohiosky9]

the new Iwasmoffy songs are amazing.

[cbmartinez]

I was about to make a thread about the new songs. They are great.

[deadohiosky9]

yeah they are awesome. they also seem to have taken a lot of CTTS influence.

[cbmartinez]

I thought the same exact thing.

[deadohiosky9]

yes its very apparent. the dual female vocals, and the lyrics are similar too.

[tornpictures]

Have they changed that much? I should really start listening to them again. Last time I listened to them was 1+ year ago.

[deadohiosky9]

its not a huge change, but its a change. the vocals are more audible too.

[cbmartinez]

"Interview At The Ruins" is so depressing.

[deadohiosky9]

its a great song. non objective portrait of karma is more depressing though.

[StandingStill]

You guys NEED to hear Rolo Tomassi. Screamo/spazz band all about 16 cept the singer who is apparently a 15 year old girl. awesome awesome awesome. Yet also the most depressing thing ever. Theyve got some tracks up here, but they are a bit too short compared to their other stuff.

[cbmartinez]

Nah. The part with the choir and the "maybe I put to much faith" part are so ****ing good though. "In The Nervous Light Of Sunday" is depressing too, the "wade in the water" and "let the flood swell" parts.

Rolo Tomassi sucks. They do the most token "atonal" stuff I've ever heard.

As in "Same Shade As Concrete."

[deadohiosky9]

all their songs are depressing. kill the switch is epic.

[StandingStill]

Rolo Tomassi sucks. They do the most token "atonal" stuff I've ever heard.
The myspace songs dont do em justice. On their latest demo they have loads of keyboard, clean vocals and all kinds of other stuff going on.

[Wow]

I lost internet.

[Sep]

You mean Same Shade As Concrete. But yeah- I think that and IATR are the best tracks.

[whiteminority]

i always feel like **** after listening to that song, but it is so damn good.

[deadohiosky9]

it really is

[whiteminority]

where did you get em?

[DaveSavesTheDay]

Hi everyone .

[whiteminority]

hello.



EDIT: 400 thread posts bitches!

[DaveSavesTheDay]

hello.



EDIT: 400 thread posts bitches!

How's it goin' ?

[deadohiosky9]

where did you get em?

http://server2.hxcmp3.com/bands/201/index.php

[whiteminority]

thanks man.

[deadohiosky9]

np dude

[whiteminority]

i will pay back by not doing anything worthwhile.

[DaveSavesTheDay]

Which do you guys prefer?

Emo , Or Screamo?

[whiteminority]

thats an odd question. it depends on what bands you consider to be emo and which screamo to properly answer the question.

[deadohiosky9]

emo and screamo are the same thing essentially. it sounds kind of dumb to ask which you like better.

[whiteminority]

that is true. i do listen to more screamo than emo these days though.

[DaveSavesTheDay]

A member of these forums first introduced me to Emo , but I find I'm also listening to more screamo

[deadohiosky9]

i like both equally.

[DaveSavesTheDay]

Anyone here in bands? Play Instruments?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Its kind of like asking do you like Indie Rock or Indie Pop better...

[deadohiosky9]

[deadohiosky9]

thank you. you too standingstill. Loin Lovers is a sweet name.

[cuts_like_drugs]

Screamo is much more chaotic. I personally think real emo is more or less dead these days (I'm talking in the vein of hoover, still life etc). Unless there are bands that are like them that are around today that I don't know about? Anyways, I prefer said bands to screamo.

[withering_rose]

i'm in a band http://www.myspace.com/enmediasres

[deadohiosky9]

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Thanks. What kind of computer recording equipment do you use?

[deadohiosky9]

my cheap as.s computer mic and a free program called Audacity, its great.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

[DaveSavesTheDay]

Ill even put it in Alphabetical Order for you :p

Brand New , Dashboard Confessional , Fall Out Boy , Get-Up Kids , Hawthorne Heights , My Chemical Romance , Silverstein , Sig Transit Gloria , Spitalfield , Taking Back Sunday , Thrice , Thursday ,The Used

Eh , that's what I generally class the 'emo' bands that I like as.

[deadohiosky9]

[fathergoat]

Read the thread and then your views may change.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Are you still being sarcastic?

[DaveSavesTheDay]

yeah we were really surpised with the quality. and once a bassist, once again i must ask you if you are joking.

Nah , not joking this time..

What do YOU classify some emo bands as?

[deadohiosky9]

Indian Summer, Native Nod, Julia, Hot Cross, Saetia, Portrait...the list goes on. read the first page of this thread.

[fathergoat]

Goodnight.

[emo_kid2071]

Just let me be the first to say that none of you really know what emo is and you're just typin **** cause you got nothin better to do! The only people who actually know what emo is are the people that listen to it and actually are an emo kid so why don't all of you who aren't emo just shut the **** up and stop saying emo's this emo's that when you don't even listen to it!!

[Let's Chop Cats!]

You're an idiot.

[emo_kid2071]

**** you

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Ok.

[emo_kid2071]

It's not my fault some of you don't know what you're talking about let alone what emo truly is

[Let's Chop Cats!]

You have no idea what you're talking about. You haven't even stated anything about the genre and I can tell you don't know anything.

[emo_kid2071]

I don't have to say anything I can just read and tell you don't know what the **** you're talking about

[Lazybassplr56]

Then why don't you inform us.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Sounds like someone is trying to ignore the issue at hand, that you don't know what you're talking about.

[emo_kid2071]

What do you want me to "inform" you about

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Nothing says emo like emoticons. :p

[Let's Chop Cats!]

It's more like we want you to tell us what you think emo is so we can make fun of you and show you how wrong you are.

[withering_rose]

I don't have to say anything I can just read and tell you don't know what the **** you're talking about
either this is a gimmic account, or he's just completely ignorant. I hope the for first one. anyway, anyone like skycamefalling or boyhitscar? how about from a second story window?

[emo_kid2071]

Emo is used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punk's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage Emo-Fashion is a term used to describe someone with tight jeans black hair over the eyes and tight t-shirts or sweaters it is impossible to "be" emo since emo is a genre of music you can dress like the members of "emo" and people (like you people) consider you "emo" and make fun of you for the music you like so **** off assholes

Emo is a specific sounding form of music which developed after the 80's hardcore scene, Emo is short for Emotional Hardcore. There is no fashion to Emo. What you are thinking of is a recent trend in mis labeled music by the mainstreem society in order to make more money.

[emo_kid2071]

listen you gay *** mother ****ers you are all pieces of **** and don't know what you are talking about that is what emo is does it matter if it is from the dictionary do you really want to know what i think emo is! Emo is a genre of music and people can dress emo like safety pins our backpacks or if you listen to emo all the time and other **** like that so why dont you all just **** off you dumb *** mother ****ers

okay yeah you are they gayest piece of **** out of this bunch How old did you say you were?

[emo_kid2071]

no! people can not dress emo because it is a genre of music but you can dress like the member of an emo bands which makes people like you guys call other people emo kids and other **** like that

[emo_kid2071]

i didnt say how old i was

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Except emo bands don't dress like that, hipsters do.
i didnt say how old i was
I was implying that you are probably some young kid who is hiding behind his keyboard and knows nothing of the real world.

[withering_rose]

okay yeah you are they gayest piece of **** out of this bunch
he's not the one making a complete and total *** out of himself. he's also not the one who's so damn ignorant in his own false opinions to listen to what anyone else is saying. what reiner is saying is more or less fact. you are saying what you THINK emo is just because you listen to what you again merely THINK emo music is without actually knowing how it started and how it became what it is today. REAL emo is more or less dead these days, emotional music is not, but EMO basically is

[emo_kid2071]

How the **** do you know are you hipster or emo? No i dont think so you're probably some country lovin gay kid

[withering_rose]

Except emo bands don't dress like that, hipsters do.

I was implying that you are probably some young kid who is hiding behind his keyboard and knows nothing of the real world.
in the end its all about the music

[Lazybassplr56]

[withering_rose]

How the **** do you know are you hipster or emo? No i dont think so you're probably some country lovin gay kid
last time I checked I don't think anyone has claimed to be an "emo kid" on these boards? and if one were to claim such, they would most likely be refering to the fact that they listen to emo, therefor, they call themselves an emo kid. much like a lot of people that listen to hardcore or are part of the hardcore "scene" call themselves hardcore or scene kids

[Let's Chop Cats!]

How the **** do you know are you hipster or emo? No i dont think so you're probably some country lovin gay kid

Just ban that kid. If he is serious he is too much of a moron to ever learn.

EDIT: REINER, feel free to edit this out once this question is answered, but is it against the rules to bypass the swear filter?
To be honest, I don't know. I do it all the time and I haven't seen anyone get banned from doing it, so I think you're safe. I see a lot of mods do it.

[cuts_like_drugs]

I find it funny how he was callng us gay, when he is the poser who admits to using vaseline to get his jeans on.

Got to give him credit though, he has enlightened me. I didn't know about the whole safety pin thing? That's canny faggish

[SubtleDagger]

I would have banned that moron after she started the curse-fest.

[Sep]

Should have banned her just for her username.

[SubtleDagger]

Ha, then I'd have to ban Conner.

Why so?

[SubtleDagger]

I'm a busy man.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

CTTS >>>>>>> Busy Grown Up Stuff

[-1up!-]

****! Anyone know the tour list for Hot Cross/CTTS?

/hopelessly dreams they come to Montreal

[RetiredAt21]

I'm going to that reunion show, that's not too far away from me. It'd be well worth the trip.

[Saturday Supercade]

Lucky americans..

[RetiredAt21]

Chris, let's meet up!

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

****! Anyone know the tour list for Hot Cross/CTTS?

/hopelessly dreams they come to Montreal
The tour list is on my post.

[deadohiosky9]

[cbmartinez]

Chris, let's meet up!

Only if we make out.

[RetiredAt21]

I'm game.

[Special Brew]

OMFG! I somehow have to make it to that Abolish Screamo Tour.

Hot Cross + CTTS + Transistor Transistor = *splooge*

[RetiredAt21]

Easy man, you're gonna get the community thread all messy.

[Special Brew]

I'm sorry, next time I'll take it to the bathroom.

[RetiredAt21]

Or you could at least use some tissues. Hahahaha.

i might drive to see that... it would take like 7 hours but ive driven up there to see pig destroyer before and in/humanity would be much more worth it.

[Wow]

Yeah I might drive too. It wouldn't be that long. The pain in the *** is that I'd have to go to Alabama first.


/Glares at Neeshee

[cuts_like_drugs]

Abolish Screamo? does that mean they hate the label?

[Wow]

Who doesn't hate the label? It's the worst genre name I've ever heard. Including crust.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Kite Flying Society are incredible, as are Hot Cross.

They are the only two emo/screamo bands i really like/know i think.

[Wow]

Kite Flying Society are ridiculously good. Their 7" is amazing.


If you like KFS, check out The Khayembii Communique.

[quick_death]

haha you whore the khayembii communique so much.
it's not a bad thing though

[kingdead]

Man. I missed the party. I guess thats why girls arnet allowed on this board.

[Fabz]

Hot Cross is emo, right? I just want to know because a guy was telling me that Hot Cross weren't emo at all.

[Wow]

haha you whore the khayembii communique so much.
it's not a bad thing though


That's 'cause they're incredible.

[Scabies]

Hot Cross is emo, right? I just want to know because a guy was telling me that Hot Cross weren't emo at all.

Probably closer to screamo but yeah.

[quick_death]

That's 'cause they're incredible.
it's true

[Sep]

Hot Cross is emo, right? I just want to know because a guy was telling me that Hot Cross weren't emo at all.

I'd say their earlier stuff (or what I've heard from it) is. Fair Trades And Farewells isn't emo though.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Yaeh, i have their 7 inch, The Art of Conversation is like the bast song ever.

[Wow]

Probably closer to screamo but yeah.


Nah.

[RetiredAt21]

Fair Trades And Farewells is my favorite. If it's not emo, what is it?

[Sep]

Post-hardcore, I think?

Makes sense to me.

[DFelon204409]

Hot Cross is emo, right? I just want to know because a guy was telling me that Hot Cross weren't emo at all.

That's because they used emo and screamo as a core genre to experiment with more progressive and post-hardcore veins. They are mostly emo but have a different aesthetic than most other emo bands.

[RetiredAt21]

I guess post-hardcore makes sense.

[Fabz]

OK, thx to all of you

[whiteminority]

Yeah I might drive too. It wouldn't be that long. The pain in the *** is that I'd have to go to Alabama first.


/Glares at Neeshee
:lol: he would kill you if you didnt take him... :lol:

[Special Brew]

Abolish Screamo? does that mean they hate the label?
Perhaps we shoulod start calling emo and screamo by other names? It's getting to the point where nobody is going to actually know what they are talking about, and FFTL will be the new definition of emo...

What the hell would we call real emo/screamo? :confused:

[whiteminority]

dude who gives a **** what its called anyways? as long as you know what it is and can find and appreciate new real emo/screamo bands thats all that matters.

[deadohiosky9]

hot cross are emo, they just experiment and do different things that the traditional emo/screamo bands. and its called the Abolish Screamo tour, because they all hate the term "screamo", especially Billy. they think its horse s.hit.

[Wow]

Perhaps we shoulod start calling emo and screamo by other names? It's getting to the point where nobody is going to actually know what they are talking about, and FFTL will be the new definition of emo...

Hardcore.

[deadohiosky9]

yeah hardcore encompasses all that stuff, emo/screamo is just further classification. you can't make a new genre for it. ash drive to alabama.

[whiteminority]

Hardcore.
yep.

[Special Brew]

dude who gives a **** what its called anyways? as long as you know what it is and can find and appreciate new real emo/screamo bands thats all that matters.
It's just confusing trying to explain it too people, and constantly being mistaken. If there was a new name, I probably wouldn't get pissed at all the MCr fans going "oh im so emo" and stuff...

Hardcore.
That sounds good, but it's going to really confuse people who like hardcore.

[whiteminority]

emo is hardcore. if you like emo you like hardcore.

[deadohiosky9]

most people who like hardcore understand it. since it is hardcore...and why bother making a new name beacuse of the ignorant? who cares. they aren't affecting us. let them say what they want, or punch them in the face.

[whiteminority]

neeshee that last part punch them in their face reminds me of a modest mouse song "tiny cities made out of ashes" for some reason. "im gonna hit you in your face. im gonna punch you in your glasses..."

back on topic. its cool to educate and worry about misclassification but when it comes down to it just take the knowledge you have and use it to your advantage: find the most killer emo and screamo and whatever else you like bands you possible.

[deadohiosky9]

i'd rather punch them in the face and tell them i'm hardcore.

[Special Brew]

But hardcore and emo sound completely different. I know that emo is hardcore, but let's say I was trying to talk to a traditional hardcore specifically abuot the emo sound, what would I call it? If I said emo or screamo, they would assume it's the modern pop crap, and if i said hardcore, they would be getting the wrong impression of what I'm trying to describe.

[whiteminority]

neeshee that would be funny as hell. you dont look like you would hurt a fly. as a matter of fact the only thing that you have beaten gets its regular beating nightly to the thoughts of lunch lady cleavage. :p

[whiteminority]

it depends... just tell them to think of revolution summer hardcore bands.

[Special Brew]

:lol:

That would surely confuse someone. I would, but when you say revolution summer, what do you mean? Name some bands that started the revolution summer thing. I don't read this thread often, so forgive me if this is a dumb question.

It seems that emo/screamo varies anywhere from music that sounds almost identical to hardcore, to spastic grindish music. It would be hard to designate a certain sound to them.

[Wow]

Revolution summer is the summer of '85 when emo was supposedly started.


Listen to Modern Life is War then Stay Gold. They both sound hella different but people know they're both hardcore bands. It wouldn't be too confusing.

[Special Brew]

Could you name some of the bands that came out during that time? Back when I first starting learning about emo, I listened to a bunch of the older groups but didn't like it. But I also didn't like traditional hardcore then either, so I may appreciate the older groups more now.

MLIW is a very unique hardcore band though. /irrelevant

[whiteminority]

Revolution Summer bands would be the pioneer emo bands back when it was called emotional hardcore. Check out Fugazi's early stuff for the sound, two big bands that participated would be Embrace and Rites of Spring.

[deadohiosky9]

just don't call it "emo" when talking to the n00bs. just be like "emotional hardcore". and if they are like ohhh taking back sunday lol? just be like "indian summer you'regayashellshutuporillpunchyouintheface."

[Special Brew]

Rtes of Spring is one of the hardcore-ish bands that I could never really see how the sound evolved into the stuff like Orchid. of course, all I've heard is the album End On End.

[Special Brew]

just don't call it "emo" when talking to the n00bs. just be like "emotional hardcore". and if they are like ohhh taking back sunday lol? just be like "indian summer you'regayashellshutuporillpunchyouintheface."
:lol:

Will do.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I love the Rites of Spring song Patience.

[cbmartinez]

I love Thrice.

[deadohiosky9]

haha, rites of spring just showed an above average intensity in the vocals, which other bands took and ran with. every band is gonna sound different. like how emo has no specific sound, all the bands sound reallly different, except for the traditional indian summer type stuff. its just something you know and can hear. the n00bs won't understand. they are too busy "non conforming".

[whiteminority]

Rtes of Spring is one of the hardcore-ish bands that I could never really see how the sound evolved into the stuff like Orchid. of course, all I've heard is the album End On End.
evolution leads to crazy ****. doesnt it make you wonder how black sabbath lead to bands like emperor and deicide? (metal analogy) its the same way with emo and screamo. and by the way the orchid is sort of weird they are screamo but they sure do sound like grind at times.

[deadohiosky9]

yeah orchid is on the thin line between "screamo" and grind.

[whiteminority]

yeah and doing that split with piggy d doesnt help their case of staying out of grind.

[Wow]

Orchid are on the thin line of being ruined by fanboys and still being a pretty good band.

[whiteminority]

you mean being a decent band and me whoring them too much ash?

[deadohiosky9]

no he means, "ben you are gay as hell, orchid suck, shut up."
