[QUOTE=cbmartinez24]SDRE is post-emo indie rock? Or taking back sunday is post-emo indie rock?

Isn't majority rule screamo?[/QUOTE]

SDRE were, and TBS are a distant offshoot of that. A lot of the bands in league with TBS are, but TBS themselves are way more poppy than SDRE and Quicksand.

Majority Rule are hardcore, but they do have a strong screamo undertone.

[QUOTE=BuddyBigsby]And those people are wrong.[/QUOTE]

Yes they are, but like I said it's all about how many people believe something. Look at dollar bills, don't they say 'in God we trust' or something? (I'm assuming this because I'm not american) That's because most people believe in god. It doesn't mean they are right. Life's a bitch.

[QUOTE=NoMoreHate]Yeh I've checked out that site before and I get the whole 'real emo' thing (by the way thanks for not biting my head off like I expected) but, speaking objectively, the whole pop-punk kind of emo is what [b]most[/b] people think about when they hear the word. It might be incorrect but eventually it's probably just going to be known as 'emo'. When I think 'emo', I think Funeral For A Friend, Finch, TBS. When I think 'Screamo' I think Alexisonfire, Underoath. I'm just musically illiterate but so is most of the world. Ah well it's just an opinion.[/QUOTE]

I made the same argument. Then defintions of screamo, emo and hardcore have all morphed. And though we can't tell everyone in the world that they are wrong, we are at least trying to change and correct the views of those on this forum.

Yeh but eventually your use of the label (the proper use) will fade into obscurity and just not be used anymore the way you use it.

No, it's already "obscure" as it's going to get. There's still a strong fanbase of people that listen to emo and know what the word means. They're not just going to out of nowhere stop. The genre still gains new fans too. Take cb, when he came here he was just as misguided as the people we're talking about, and now look at him, he's genre nazi-ing with the best!

'Tis true. When I was a n00b like yourself, I called Poison the Well hardcore, Thursday screamo and Saves The Day emo. It was ugly. But I soon learned from the best of the best, Buddy, iHATEgc and Dfelon. I tried to hang on bitterly to my false realities, but now, I''m pwning many a noob so that one day, they might ride along side the greats.


That was so epic.

So where do lifetime and their inadvertant progeny fall into all of this?

[QUOTE=syurix]So where do lifetime and their inadvertant progeny fall into all of this?[/QUOTE]
well, i know Lifetime is emo.

Finch.
 

[COLOR=White][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]In all seriousness, Finch is very talented. Even live! I hate bands that are talented on recording, and are awful live.[/FONT][/SIZE] :)[/COLOR]

too bad finch isn't emo. lifetime is considered emo? i always thought they were pop-punk or melodic punk.

[QUOTE=finchRULES][COLOR=White][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]In all seriousness, Finch is very talented. Even live! I hate bands that are talented on recording, and are awful live.[/FONT][/SIZE] :)[/COLOR][/QUOTE]No, their singer was drunk in Dallas. They sucked.

[QUOTE=syurix]So where do lifetime and their inadvertant progeny fall into all of this?[/QUOTE]

I've only heard Lifetime and not enough to classify them.

and what the hell? You know more than us on this subject and you know it. You're just quiet. Dam[font=verdana]n[/font] you hogging the emo.

DFelon has returned!

Oh. You gotta stop by more often.

Hey DFelon, I thought you said Trophy Scars was post-hardcore in your EP review, but then it's in the emo list on the first page? Hair-trigger Flamenco is very cool by the way.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]For some reason I feel like Lifetime would not be emo.[/QUOTE]
why not? i think they fit the category quite well

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Not really. I'm just procrastinating stuff on a Sunday morning and thought I'd splash a little anti-misnomer talk in here.[/QUOTE]Bitch, I got my user name changed so I believe it's time for you to change the credits. :)

Tiger Army may not be emo, but they are a really good band and i would call them emo. Some people dont think of stuff as the same, some people say that the Ramones are punk others say pop-punk. Its almost an interpratation of the sound, they are like most other emo bands. O ya and the Ramones are definatly punk. :thumb:

:eek:

That Portrait song is so hard to find.. I couldn't resist it "violins" was mentioned. Well, is Trophy Scars emo or post-hardcore???

listerine ice cream is a dumb-dumb head. (cartman voice)

Screamo and Emo
 

My favorite screamo/emo bands are:

Taking Back Sunday
Finch
Five Minute Ride
Brand New
The Used

Did you even read the thread?

[QUOTE=Happymeal]:eek:

Yeah, it took me forever to first find it too. IM me at whothenow and I'll send you it.

Converge
they are screamo / hardcore i guess
they are probably the best band i've heard of

I wouldn't call Converge screamo. They're more of grindcore/metalcore than anything else, they have a hint of emo sometimes though..

[QUOTE=Ramones Rock097]listerine ice cream is a dumb-dumb head. (cartman voice)[/QUOTE]

beehotch please

Transisitor Transisitor, emo?

None of those are emo or screamo. You fail. 0%

[QUOTE=cbmartinez24]None of those are emo or screamo. You fail. 0%[/QUOTE]

nope, you can whipe away the emo, but there are truly screamo bands I mentioned. Most of them are hardcore/metal bands, but they all have different styles in their music.

how are Thursday and Alexisonfire pop-rock? they don't have enough hooks or mainstream radio play to warrent that label. they are post-emo for sure, but pop-rock?
