Planes Mistaken aren't emo.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Seems like they have plenty of emo influence.

[BuddyBigsby]

I agree with them bursting with emo influence, but they have some other stuff going on.

[Retard Sars]

I've been listening to Death Cab For Cutie a lot recently, and people have been telling me they're crymo so I didn't know where to post this but can anyone recomment to me similiar bands?

[Wow]

Death Cab aren't emo. They don't belong here.

[blacking out the friction]

death cab is very good. although i wouldn't consider them emo.

some bands i like which i consider emo/scremo include:

shai hulud
hot cross
daughters
the faint
minus the bear (well, actually i don't really know what to call them)
braid
desparacidos
american football
pinback

[blacking out the friction]

HEY! im a n00b! ><

[Happymeal]

the faint
minus the bear (well, actually i don't really know what to call them)
braid
desparacidos
american football
pinback

.. are all indie:p

Pinback? Emo? What the hell are you on?

[cbmartinez]

The Faint. Hahahahahaha.

[DFelon204409]

Shai Hulud hahahaa. They are THE defining hardcore band of the late 90s. Probably the most respected and appreciated in hardcore. Not emotional hardcore.

[srt-4]

Planes Mistaken aren't emo.

Shai Hulud hahahaa. They are THE defining hardcore band of the late 90s.

Uhhhhh....

[DFelon204409]

Uhhh what? Is that not true. There are more bands that conform more to the hardcore sound but those aren't the bands that are respected or cared about ten years later. If you look back at nu-metal, the bands that most embodied it were probably Limp Bizkit and like Korn, but the bands people still care about like Rage Against the Machine, Tool, and Deftones are the ones that showed ingenuity and variety to their music beyond the scope of the genre. Shai Hulud has amazing songcraft and technicality and they have that sheer passion that most more generic hardcore bands have. I argue that Shai Hulud will be remembered in modern hardcore like a Saetia is for modern emo, or a Nirvana or Pearl Jam is for grunge. Bands that embody a genre by transcending it. It seems contradictory but it's an odd truth.

[DFelon204409]

Actually what am I talking about grunge just sort of sucks. Except for Soungarden. Superunkown was my first CD ever.

finally. i think this thread should be its own forum but whatever.

they may not be techincally "emo" but whatever. **** genres and listen to GOOD music

[Fashion_Meets_Passion]

wow after reading some of this thread its scary how many people really have no clue about what real emo and screamo is. worst one I read was someone listing Korn and Slipknot I think... wow. I havent seen much mention of Orchid though, they are definitely one of my favorite screamo bands. my first post btw, so..um... hi!

btw, does anyone have ANY CLUE where I could buy The Blood Brother's Burn Piano Island Burn? It seems to have fallen off the face of the ****ing earth. I cant find this cd ANYWHERE, not even online. tried amazon, artist direct (their label), insound, interpunk. all of them either dont have it or have been in restock for months....

[chips88]

The Faint. Hahahahahaha.

They are good. I have two of their cd's, and I'm going to get their mix and their middle one.

[Wow]

If they're not emo why are you talking about them?


And I do listen to good music, thanks.

[cbmartinez]

The Planes Mistaken stuff I heard on purevolume was not remotely emo.

[BridgeToSolace]

I love 'em, but go to the pop-punk forum to talk about them. They have a decent sized fan base there.

I think Shai Hulud would only do that with metalcore.

Hardcore in general? In the 90's?

Hmm, as far as popularity and what everyone says, I'd say Refused or Born Against.

Where is this metal you speak of? I only see it in some of the guitar licks. Everything else screams hardcore to me. It's just that they don't go verse-chorus-verse-chorus-breakdown-final huge chorus-optional sampled audio at the end.

Late 90s.

Refused is indeed up there. They grew posthumously more than normally I thought. Shai Hulud exhibits a little bit of both.

Well, Shai Hulud are regarded as one of the best metalcore bands ever, and one of the pioneers of the genre.

[DeathHawk]

Also, I know ATDI isn't hardcore, but they've opened up hardcore for far more kids than any other band in the 90's or even now.

[toosick_todance]

you idiot...you spelled Ashlee wrong :rolleyes:

oops//i swear i knew that
what a ****ingidiot. X(

[cbmartinez]

I think Shai Halud is widely considered to be hardcore.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

I think they are leaning a little to the metalcore side.

[cbmartinez]

Correction, I think most people, besides 40 oz 2 freedom, think Shai Halud is hardcore.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

:lol:

[cbmartinez]

You always have to be so controversial.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Shai Hulud are obviously straight-up hardcore

rites of spring and dag nasty are ace emo bands

i'm getting into hawthrone heights. i would say they are screamo. good band. i just got into them so what ever they are, i still like them

[DFelon204409]

i'm getting into hawthrone heights. i would say they are screamo. good band. i just got into them so what ever they are, i still like them

Ya. They're definitely not emo or screamo or anything resembling it. File under popcore.

[nitzguy]

ok, duly noted

[nitzguy]

Ya. They're definitely not emo or screamo or anything resembling it. File under popcore.
what makes a band "scremo" or "pop-core"?

[DFelon204409]

what makes a band "scremo" or "pop-core"?

Screamo bands are emo bands that sort of up the intensity. Emo bands have some soft and loud parts of the song as well as screaming/shouting for vocals but screamo is all out screaming and chaotic loud parts, on a par with grind. Go here and listen to "Crowquill" for a cool screamo song: www.hxcmp3.com/bands/1710

Popcore is an invention of mine to describe a trend that has become very popular lately. It's a portmanteau of the two genres pop-punk and hardcore. Bands like Hawthorne Heights, Finch, and Underoath are bands that write pop punk songs with added intensity of vocals, such as a scream every so often. Also, there may be a breakdown like in hardcore songs inserted right into the pop punk. You are already familiar with this sound so I'm not going to bother giving you a link.

For more information on any genre click on the stickied link titled *MUST READ.*

[RiotUpstart]

or just listen to Circle Takes The Square for a good example of screamo.theyre f'uckin great.it just grows on people.

[NewKindofArmy03]

I didn't like CTTS when I listened to them.

The best screamo band i've heard still is Envy, they're so good.

[DFelon204409]

Trust me, Circle Takes the Square does grow on you. At first I thought man the drumming and stuff is sick but I don't like the vocals. And then in under a week the vocals were my favorite part by far.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Maybe it's because i'm not into much screamo. I'll give them a few more listens though.

[YDload]

Finch was around for while, before bands like HH, and Senses fail.

[DFelon204409]

Ya. They became popular lately, as in 2003. I'd call that lately. Senses Fail has been around for a bit too. Hawthorn Heights came out of no where. P.S. Sorry for editing you post but you messed up the quote by omiting the bracket so I fixed. I gotta have this forum lookin purty.

But they don't belong here. Try to keep non emo/screamo bands in hardcore/metalcore or not in the forum. Avenged Sevenfold obviously belongs in hardcore/metalcore. Go there.

[SkaBob]

Would Cursive be emo?

[bendurarmstolooklikewings]

i'm going to see hawthorne heights tomorrow with the early november, hopesfall, and maxeen. I don't really like hawthorne heights, they're pretty generic. I'm pretty much going for hopesfall, and for the early november i guess. I also might go see welcome the plague year this summer. I heard they were great live, so i can't wait.

[bendurarmstolooklikewings]

Would Cursive be emo?

No, i think they are indie or something along those lines. They're great though. I think tim kasher was in an emo band a long time ago called slowdown virginia. By the way, did anyone get jerome's dream full discography? It came out a couple of weeks ago. I'm thinking of ordering it.

[cbmartinez]

Cursive are more of an indie band.

By the way, Fugazi/Rites of Spring hate to be referred to as emo. Ian MacKaye has repeatedly said that emo is the stupidest thing he has ever heard of.

They're touring with FBTMOF and Breather Resist, who I would have rather seen, but hey it's CTTS.

[DFelon204409]

Ya because people tagged his band as it when he really wanted to be independent from any label. Way to not explain the rationale. You practically just say that Ian MacKaye is like any other n00b who say "emo is total gay lolz!!1!"

I have it. It's good, but make sure you listen to some stuff before you buy it. There's a fair chance you'll hate the screamer.

Cursive's not emo...but they are amazing so keep listening

Yeah, but really, I'd rather listen to Envy.

[DFelon204409]

Yeah, but really, I'd rather listen to Envy.

That's sort of my take on it too. I got their CD off soulseek but that's about it. Don't love em, don't hate em either.

[tornpictures]

Wow, Pg. 99 albums are really hard to find (except for the Majority Rule split... that one isn't that bad).

That's because most of them are major OOP screamo.

City of Caterpillar split 7" is pretty easy to find, Wailfle split LP can be found at most record stores, document #8 was just recently repressed.

You should start off with a band with a really rich history. Or, focus on one person like Billy from Saetia and Hot Cross. That, or Henry Rollin, who is mad popular now.

The VSS is one of my favorite bands.

Sonny Kay is a cool guy.

Exactly. Torn, how about you stop crusing around for posts you can make fun of and read the posts that have been made. For example, the post before where YDLoad asked me what genre The Fall Of Troy are. Idiot.

[Times Ten]

Well... my favorite screamo bands are
A Day in Black and White
Circle Takes The Square
Hot Cross
Kaospilot
Love Like Electrocution
Takaru (just broke up as of late... They will go down in screamo history like Saetia and Neil Perry)
Textbook Traitors

[cbmartinez]

Bump.

[BridgeToSolace]

If you've got nothing to say, then don't bump, lozer.

[cbmartinez]

If you've got nothing to say, then don't bump, lozer.

Yeah, we should all just post in the Discussion Thread in Pop-Punk, not threads that spawn useful discussion

CTTS was bound to make they're way into AP. They're getting more popular considering their touring with FBTMOF and on Robotic Empire. The shame is, they're being classified as a hardcore/metalcore band when they could be educating kids about emo.

[chips88]

Why the **** not?

Cause then all these kids wearing gay My Chemical Romance or TBS shirts, who don't know jack about quality music, or how to appreciate it, you know the kids I'm talking about, will be like, omgz, curcle taiks teh squar is the sh1t yo!!! and then I'll start seeing kids with their shirts or cd's, and I will break down into tears right in the middle of the school/mall.

[cbmartinez]

Just because they're in AP, doesn't mean they'll get popular. I think The Secret was in AP and there's no way kids who like TBS would like CTTS.

[BridgeToSolace]

Why the **** not?

Because he enjoys the feeling of superiority he gets from listening to a band that other people don't know about.

If other people know about them, he wont feel as special.

I'm glad CTTS was in AP. Knowing a screamo band is still better than not, even if you don't know that they are actually screamo.

Yeah, The Secret was in AP. And so was Cattle Decapitation.

I'm still waiting to send you that album...

Hahaha, I'll be on soon. Usurp Synpase is great too. Listening to some Angel Hair at the moment, it's good.

Circle Takes the Square was in AP :upset:

man, kids that buy that magazine should never listen to music like that, it's degrading and annoying.

Circle Takes the Square was in last March's AP. That's like two months after I got As the Roots Undo. AP is a good magazine. For every crappy pop punk band they focus on, they write amazing features or reviews about bands like Psyopus, Trophy Scars, or whatever death metal that Burgess guy is listening to.

[Happymeal]

Speaking of Trophy Scars, I just listened to Darts to the Sea in its entirety and I like it very much.

That's true. I actually learn about a lot of good bands from AP and Revolver, it's just for every cool kid that learns about an awesome band, some loser learns about them to and tries to act cool or something. I don't know, maybe I'm just being a prick. It's not that I don't like the magazine, it's just, idk. whatever, I've lost myself now.

[SGlove]

Just because they're in AP, doesn't mean they'll get popular. I think The Secret was in AP and there's no way kids who like TBS would like CTTS.

hey.... i like ctts and tbs :upset: ... but not as much as yaphet kotto.

[macspuey]

hey wats goin on im stupid

[iEatHeartAttacks]

I was going to make an attempt to buy this, but found some rare Wildhearts stuff I'm bidding on instead, so I figured I'd post it here in case any of you would like a go. I don't know how hard to find it is, but..you know.

[BuddyBigsby]

I'd bid on it but it's in Europe and I don't know how much that is in American money or if they'd even accept that.

[DFelon204409]

It has just come to my attention that I require every song by You and I ever made.

[Bartender]

I'd been on it but it's in Europe and I don't know how much that is in American money or if they'd even accept that.

Well he says he'll post to the Americas, so I'd assume he'd accept USD in payment. Last I knew, the GBP-USD exchange rate would put that £16 at just over $30, if that helps.

[tornpictures]

That 7" isn't worth $20!

[Bartender]

Good thing my maximum was something like £10 then, I suppose. Several people seem to think it is though.

Repress?

[BuddyBigsby]

It's like a re-release, but with vinyl.

[Bartender]

Well, yeah. I thought he was referring to a company or something, called Repress :(

[Ganondorf]

Hey hardcore kids :p

[cbmartinez]

"I'm Back Sleeping or ****ing..." is such an amazing song. I'd buy that 7" for that alone.

[tornpictures]

I think it's mediocre compared to what else they did.

'Memorial' and 'Gravity' are where it's at.

[Ganondorf]

I watched the Battel For Ozzfest Final on MTV yesterday, that A Dozen Furies Band are pretty good.

[Bartender]

That 7" went for £34 in the end :-/

That's about 61 USD, without postage.

[tornpictures]

I just sold my Navio Forge LP for $50, which is ****ing ridiculous. I obviously didn't turn that offer down!!

I have two copies anyway, so it wasn't too hard of a decision to make.

DFelon, why did cb's PTW profile get stickied, but my Converge one didn't?

[BridgeToSolace]

They aren't nearly as good on their EP. It's all singing and nu-metaly. Lame.

And why are you even mentioning them here?

[DFelon204409]

DFelon, why did cb's PTW profile get stickied, but my Converge one didn't?

I explained this already. cb asked me and I authorized it. You should have just waited for the week to be over. I authorized one at a time for a week at a time but you just were retarded and decided to bring it into the forum against my wishes. No biggies, it's just you don't get a sticky until next week unless somebody else contacts me about a new artist.

Screw You!!! Listen to the LYRICS. Just cause some are popular... doesn't mean they arn't emo, and the lyrics arn't emo.

All lyrics of all music invoke some type of emotion, so shut up, jackass.

well he's right. Point me ONE song, of ANY genre without any emotion to the lyrics. Please?

[DFelon204409]

well he's right. Point me ONE song, of ANY genre without any emotion to the lyrics. Please?

There isn't any. The point is not that there isn't emotion in any of bands. In fact, those bands are overflowing with saccharine, cloying, adolescent confusion. The point is that "emo" means "emotional hardcore" not "emotional." None of those bands are emotional hardcore, therefore they are not emo.

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

Why is the advertisement at the top of screen "scary ghost footage, enter if you dare"?

[tornpictures]

Emo bands go way beyond 'other' music in terms of emotion and angst, though.

What the hell was I supposed to say? I don't think someone is stupid enough to spell Hawthorne Heights "hofore hight" and say that "Vares artist" (Various Artists I'm assumign) is one of his favorite bands, so I think it's a joke account. But you actually think he's being serious, then go ahead and type out a definition of emo for him

Dude none of those bands are emo. Read about emo from around this thread to get an idea of what it's like and then come back when you realize emo is much different than the bands you cited. Also, if you know they probably don't belong in this thread then why post here?

[pooponastick]

you kids are pussies... put down your razor blades, pick up a guitar and start listening to real music.

[Wow]

So who wants to hook me up with every song ever recorded by Julia?

[DFelon204409]

You're an idiot. How about you listen to a real emo band before you attack that. I hate when people run their mouths when they obviously know nothing about what they're talking about.

[YDload]

Hey, the Something Awful forums have something called the "SAclopedia," which has definitions for a bunch of favorite topics. I added a definition under "emo" that was badly needed, I think:

Emo stands for "emotional hardcore," and refers to a style of hardcore punk music which had roots in the Washington, DC area. Notable emo bands include Rites of Spring, Hot Cross, Saetia, Antioch Arrow, and Indian Summer.

However, in the last five years the term "emo" has come to mean something entirely different. Now the term is generally thought to refer to bands like Taking Back Sunday or Dashboard Confessional, which are actually just glorified pop-punk bands.

Regardless of the actual name for this new music trend, it is still acceptable to refer to its fans as "emo kids." The black-rimmed glasses, the crying, the cutting, and the sappy poetry are all part of the emo kid lifestyle, but actual emo music is not. No wonder they're so depressed.

Good?

[DFelon204409]

No. The problem is the black frame glasses and all that is completely unlike everybody I know who listens to real emo. I mean look at me. I wear jeans, more notably men's jeans, and just t-shirts and skateboarding/indoor soccer shoes. I play rugby and tennis. "Emo kids" are supposed to sit in their room and cup and write bad poetry. My poetry is sweet. What the hell. Be more cruel with the diction. Say that like "the term 'emo' has been butchered into defining a group of suburban white kids who listens to indie and pop punk." Even better call it popcore. That'd do them a number.

Isn't it sad that a respectable site such as allmusic.com has Taking Back sunday categorised as 'emo'?

[DFelon204409]

Quite sad indeed. They're pretty lame in a lot of important genres.

[DFelon204409]

Also, they called Snapcase an emo band. They're in album highlights along with Alkaline Trio and Cap'n Jazz. How retarded can one site be?

i dont like emo/screamo myself so i ask this community what is is about this music is so great? (im not trying to insult anyone im just looking for an asnwer)

[BuddyBigsby]

Well firstly you haven't heard emo, so this is the wrong place to ask for the type of "emo" you're thinking of. If you want to learn about real emo and the misconceptions that bands like Underoath, The Used, Senses Fail, etc. are emo, then read through this thread. Otherwise, take your question to pop-punk where you'll be greeted with something like "bcuz tehy por der harts out i meen taek burt form the used he pueks onstage omg thast so intens"

[RetiredAt21]

Ack. The Used.
