[QUOTE=Lightning13]Heey Gav..I don't wanna' be bashed :) so I'm gonna' ask ya straight up..Are Taking Back Sunday and like Thursday and those sort of bands Emo? Or what are they?[/QUOTE]
Thursday are preemo, but they are a post-hardcore band who have connections to the emo scene. Taking Back Sunday are pop rock. Straight up.

[quote=Lightning13]Well..It's just they don't really fit under the real idea of Pop-Punk..Which is more like Blink, MxPx and that kinda' stuff imo. Thats why I asked lol...[/quote]

Pop-punk, like all genres of music, can come in many different flavors. And especially if there is a gap of time between the bands and if there is a time of progression. Blink and MxPx are a little older, so they will have a different sound than today's pop-punk of TBS, Fall Out Boy, etc.

[QUOTE=whiteminority]Thursday are preemo...[/QUOTE]
What is preemo? I've never heard that term before.

preemo = awesome, top notch, etc.

Like "primo," but it's spelled preemo and pronounced the same way. :D

[QUOTE=whiteminority]preemo = awesome, top notch, etc.[/QUOTE]

I always thought it was spelled primo. Preemo looks like pre-emo. I got confused too.

Well I guess I just misspelled. Whatever.

Doofus.

Bahahahaha, nice...nice.

ROFL DOFUS! I haven't heard that since like 7th grade...sick. I'm going to start using that again.

Preemo? Primo? You guys are funny.

[QUOTE=cbmartinez]Neeshee, I love you with all my heart but stop being a bitch about using screamo. It's a perfectly fine term that helps for the more specific classification of bands within the genre. If you can jock Midwest emo, you should have no problem with screamo. The thread was fine they way it was.[/QUOTE]

Chris, first of all I am not "bitching", I was only suggesting that we remove the term "screamo" from the name of this thread because it is NOT a genre as I have stated and proved on various glorious occasions. I'm going to find my old post and just re-post it here cause it explains everything. But as to your "midwest emo" argument, well it just fails. Midwest emo is not a genre, it is more of a description that refers to a couple of bands that have a similar sound that reign from the same region. It is not the name of a genre, it is just a reference. It's like referring to Antioch Arrow as a "gravity record" band, or as a "san diego emo band" or things of that sort. Screamo does not hold any sort of locational implications at all, it is only supposedly a genre. With that being said, i'm going to search for my old post. I'll update this post once Ash or someone finds my old post.

A locational clarification is even worse than a term like "screamo" which refers to the description of music. It's like calling Thrice a Christian Band (too parrallel your "locational clarifications") as opposed to calling them metal/post-hardcore (which like screamo, describes their sound).

Ok here's the update to my demolition of Chris. This is the old post that Ash so kindly found for me. <3

I think you what you mean is that screamo is the chaotic form of 90's emo, and the answer is no. Emo is a constantly evolving genre, even today you can't say there is a specific sound to it. We have bands like Ampere, and Hot Cross, and Gospel who all sound soo different, but are still considered to be a part of the same scene and genre. Similarly there were a few bands who took on a more chaotic approach in the scene, and for some reason we have decided to call that "screamo" and any band that exists during and after these chaotic bands are also labeled "screamo", and then "screamo" is viewed as the new "emo". This is false. Emo changes, that doesn't constitute a new genre, its mostly an innovative genre so to make subgenres from "emo" would be absolutely ridiculous and unecessarily time consuming. So there was some bands who took on a more screamy-chaotic approach, big deal. So there are bands now that take on a more technical approach, do they need a genre? We have bands that like to use viola or violin in songs, does that mean we need a subgenre for them too? As you can see..its just utterly ridiculous.

EDIT: Chrisitanity is not a place of origin and consequently not a location. It is a religion. Therefore calling Thrice a Christian band doesn't describe their location or music, so thats just completely irrelevant.

OTMOP <3

OTMOP own. Anyways, what has everyone been digging lately? And whose heard the Ampere/Sinaloa split LP?

I've recently been digging:

Off Minor - [I]Problematic Courtship[/I]
I Hate Myself - [I]10 Songs[/I]
Mineral - [I]The Power of Failing[/I]

There was no owning in this thread.

But I did see a bunch of people act like fags.

The Promise Ring and The Album Leaf.

I've been meaning to check out The Promise Ring, can you compare them to any other bands?

None come to mind off the bat due to the vocals. They're just really catchy and upbeat. I can send you some songs if you want.

Those are awesome albums.

Screamo is a genre, its just been badly defined by some of the people round here.

you suck up to some of these guys so hard its ridiculous.

how is that owning? simply because music is a new form of an existing genre does not preclude it from having a genre of its own. by your argument we don't need emo either. its all just hardcore then. its the degree of innovation that would determine whether a subgenre has been created, and obviously there are no clear demarcations. you don't think the term screamo is necessary. thats fine, thats your opinion, but you didn't prove anything.
