[QUOTE=AKid2]Anybody here like Underoath? I think they are pretty sweet.[/QUOTE]

Underoath's awesome...the drumer sings

just got back from mt washington, great hike, just out of curiousity, has anybody skiied any part of tuckermans ravine/boott spur or and of the cone? I want to do it sometime, but at the moment i dont own skis, and am not old enough to do it really.

So I walk into Vintage Vinyl tonight.
I was waiting to be called into Red Lobster for my table.
I walk over to the 'H' section of hxc/punk.
Did they have Hot Cross?
NO!
They have Textbook Traitors instead.
They are powerful though.
A fair exchange.

My local store doesn't have Hot Cross either. The price of living in England...

Actually I turned 42 today and I'm still in good enough shape to play the drums for CTTS without wearing my hearing aid! God**** youngins!

I bought 'Cryonics' on CD because it was the only decent CD they had the other day. I felt robbed after I listened to it. Now I remember why I always hated post-10" Hot Cross.
Anyone want the CD? I'll sell it for cheap.

I'll trade you my The Sea, The Sea 7" for it.

Too bad they don't have any sevens and I'm not too into them anyway.

^ Could someone add a emo/screamo definition on there? It hasn't been edited in ages.

I refer this thread and the definition thread to people all over the internet when we get in arguments about emo, but that is making it difficult since their is no definition listed for emo or screamo, just hardcore genres.

I am subscribing to this thread, ignore this post.

[QUOTE=-1up!-]Emotional Hardcore, Emo for short, is a genre started in 1985 by bands like Rites of Spring and Moss Icon who took the basic foundations of hardcore and added in artsy guitar lines, poetic lyrics, and passionate vocals. Over time, emo has evolved into a few different styles. There's traditional emo (Moss Icon, Driftwood), hardcore emo (Reach Out, Heroin), mid-west indie influenced (Rockets and Blue Lights, Nuzzle), and screamo (You and I, Usurp Synapse). Although it HAS evolved, absolutley none of the mainstream bands like Hawthorne Heights and Thursday are emo or an evolution of emo. Most, if not all of those bands are either Pop-Punk or Post-Hardcore. The decision to call bands like alexisonfire screamo was arbitrary and mis-informed. Don't be fooled by what the media tells you.

Due to the nature of its bands, emo is not very well known to the public. Most emo bands had very short lives and some of them never released an actual record (only demos and such). This made it impossible for some bands to gain a vast reputation while they were still active. This is not true for all bands though, as there are a few successful acts in the emo genre which are still active and vastly known by the emo "community", Circle Takes The Square and Hot Cross being very good examples.

The emo musical genre has NOTHING to do with the emo "slice-my-wrists" culture. Emo, musically speaking, is not about cutting your wrists, cutting your hair so it covers 50% of your face, wearing girl pants when you're a male, putting mascara all over your eyes, etc. Emo is about making hardcore music in an artsy/poetic way to focus on a varied specter of emotions. Yes, most music is about emotion. However, emo is hardcore-derived; while hardcore focuses on feelings of rage and alienation through a political struggle, emo is generally more introspective.


(Insert examples of emo bands here)[/QUOTE]

Written by Wow and me. DFelon would probably direct you to Wikipedia's definition but it's epic-length and I'm pretty sure most people won't bother reading it all.

If anyone feels the need to add something to that definition, go right ahead.

Good definition.

Now we need to get a mod to put it on the definition page, where it belongs :lol:

No mention of Embrace? How dare you.

It said insert examples of emo bands Reiner.

I still do not see Embrace there.

Well I guess that was bad that Embrace was not mentioned, but I bought a book called "American Hardcore: A Tribal History" (coverage of american HC from 80-86) and his coverage of the DC scene barely touched upon emotion hardcore and mentioned off-handedly. Even worse in the entire coverage of NYHC Gorilla Biscuits didn't get mentioned until the last page of the 20+pg chapter and it was only a sentence.

While that book is a fun read, it is deffinently not that good factual wise. I can't think of the right way to word it, but I hope you know what I ment.

I don't think it was ment to cover Emo though.

You should write a book. It would turn out good.

I know it wasn't but you know Emo had a decent impact on DC hardcore and Gorilla Biscuits getting the one sentece thats bulls'hit that whole chapter on NYHC was primarily about Murphys Law and AF.

Sycophant.

You're book would have bad grammer.

My book would make me millions.

Who the hell cares about grammar in the summer?

Besides there are things called 'editors'.

Good spelling though. Also Pat, it's 'your' since it is my book, representing ownership.
