[QUOTE=deadohiosky9]why do people ask themselves how to write an emo song? good god....[/QUOTE]

I'm not asking how to.
I'm asking what typically goes into writing one.
Chords, scales, modes, time signatures, et cetera, et al.
It was out of curiosity since I'm learning what I'm actually writing.
I like to make sense out of it.

It's ok.
You can calm down now..

I'm liking American Football a lot more these days, though.

Because they are n00bs.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Why?[/QUOTE]


There's no correct structure or technique or proper chords or anything that goes into writing an emo song. You shouldn't be told what's common in different styles. Play what you want, how you want, when you want, as long as you think it's good.

That's not 100% true. Lots of bands use similar chords. Mostly octave chords, (7 8 x 9 10 7)or the simple 7 8 9 chord (Mohinder for example). Having said this, I'm pretty sure that most of the kids who started dissing SGlove are going to grab their guitars right now to try out those chords.

edit: The first one is from high E to low E, second one is from low E upwards

Sure there's theory to everything, but you shouldn't take the common theory and base your own music off of it, is what I'm saying.

Yes it's not 100% true, and yes there are common chords, but I'm saying there's no proper way to write an emo song.

Lots of tempo changes etc too

When did everyone's testes get twisted?
I honestly had no idea this would create an argument.

I said it before, I'll say it again.
I'm not going to be ripping off any "emo theory."
I just want to know what I'm listening to.
What chords would use to create a specific mood, as well as what scales, and key and modes I would be able to use to augment this mood that certain emo bands are able to obtain.
For all you know, I could be playing blues and just want to broaden the whole genre of blues by adding this touch of hardcore to it.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Then explain why so many emo bands sound so similar? Are you really going to maintain that people in emo bands have such good ears that they can emulate the exact chords and stylings of each other by ear? That's BS. They talk to each other, in real life and in places like here, and figure out common theoretical ground and use that as a means of emotional release.[/QUOTE]


Look, dude, I know there's common chords, I know there's common techniques, I know that and that a lot of bands use those, but I'm saying there is no PROPER way to write an emo song.

I don't have a real problem with learning about what you're listening to, I had a problem with Wizard telling you how to write a song.

SGlove, i misunderstood your question. my bad dude.

Oh of course dude, I know all that. Once again, I'm just saying there isn't a proper way to write one.


And yes, theory owns. My dad teaches me quite a bit when he visits.

Hey it's all good.
At least there were no ego's going round just doin the I'm right, your wrong thing.

Wow, I didn't read it as him telling me how to, but more along the lines of him tryin to help me out.
But whatever man.
You live, learn, then you get luvs.

damnit i just died on the ****in chemical plant


:(:( sonic 2 is hard

I didn't tell him anything close to how to write his music. All I said was a few common things I've seen in emo music, and told him to play whatever he wants. Then you get pissed at this, and iterate the same damned thing. Maybe you should learn to read posts before you respond.

[B]Just mess around and see what sounds good.[/B] Don't worry about time signatures or beats either. Emo doesn't seem to focus on anything like that.[/QUOTE]

i think that he just thought you were generalizing the sound of emo

[QUOTE=Matt?]i think that he just thought you were generalizing the sound of emo[/QUOTE]

I think HARDCORE is just about being CRUCIAL and EMOTIONAL. THEORY has no PLACE IN THE INTENSITYYYY.

I ALSO QUOTE pg.99* IN MY ARGUMENTS!





*Not really though because they stole the quote from Kurt Cobain.

Wizard, shut up. I read your post, don't use the tired "Learn to read" line against me. If anything, this would have to do with reading comprehension.


This is the internet. This is text. You should know the way you say something has a dramatic effect on how it's interpretted so when using text, chose your words carefully or someone may take it a way it wasn't intended.

man does anyone know how to beat that big turtle boss thing in contra III

two words: game genie.

Is that some Sega Genesis game?

WoW is a h8a against black people too

[QUOTE=cheeto-t]Is that some Sega Genesis game?[/QUOTE]
nah

You people bitching about SGlove and Wizard are just trying to boost your authentic image by being like, "there's no way to write emo man. It's from your heart." By doing so, you end up looking like bigger tools than he does. He was just asking a simple question and like Dfelon said, one of the main thigns about theory is analyzing different songs within a genre and finding similarities in structure and form.

i'm 12 years old and i write emo songs, it's easy

gtfo
