You like St.Anger. You can't make negative sarcastic comments on another musical genre.

Don't even make fun of emo when:

A) You have never even heard it
B) You like St. Anger

I made a thread about how everything is now "emo" and people are taking it seriously for some reason! I included a bunch of random objects and Taking Back Sunday as well, just to prove how ridiculous the list was.

Please someone post there, but don't get into a serious argument. It's the Pit, after all.

I hope my intervention will shut a couple of them up.

*smacks forehead*

You did exactly what you weren't supposed to do, which was post a serious response. Granted, plenty of other people did the same thing, but you could have gotten things back on track! argh

Let's see what I can do to mess it up a bit :|

I like your avatar Alexisonfire.

Be sure to pet it carefully, this kitty comes with unlimited ammo, a hidden flamethrower and is extremely well trained in the exquisite art of close-combat using it's razor sharp claws :)

Plus it's really emo, so you can't really predict what mood he's gonna be in. :amaze:

:thumb:

this is kinda a stupid question, but is Alexisonfire pronunced Alex is on fire or Alexis on fire? im guessing its not the latter one, but i figure you guys will know.

Alexis on fire.

I just read a review for a Orchid/The Red Scare/The Blood Brothers show.

Shut the hell up. It was crap and you know it. Anything after the S&M was crap.

[QUOTE=SGlove]Shut the hell up. It was crap and you know it. Anything after the black album was crap.[/QUOTE]

Fixed.

[QUOTE=cbmartinez]I just read a review for a Orchid/The Red Scare/The Blood Brothers show.[/QUOTE]

And your point is?

...He could've at least said a better Metallica album than St. Anger. That was the worst CD in the world.

[QUOTE=tornpictures]And your point is?[/QUOTE]

Seemed cool. I thought people might be interested. Is that okay?

Ok this is a rant against the whole "emocore" thing

Where the f[COLOR=White]u[/COLOR]ck did "emocore" come from? Doesn't "emo" already mean emotional hardcore, making emocore = emotional hardcore hardcore??

And I see people use "emocore" to describe bands that have no link whatsoever to emo, but rather sound like pop-punk. Could someone explain? Like if emocore is somewhat of a legit word or just a misconception that spawned from the wannabe emo noobs who take MTV's word as their bible?

I use because of lack of better word. I use it for bands that are pop-punk with the occasional scream though it is faulty because as you said, they have no emo in them. That's why Dfelon is advocating the term popcore, which I have begun to use.

Rolling Stone is always wrong. I'm pretty sure they are the ones who started calling Taking Back Sunday "emo."

It was them that started "screamo" too, I believe. Them or Spin. Whatever, same thing.

Aaaah so the source of all evil is Rolling Stones heh? :evil:

I was always wondering what musical "authority" was popular enough to actually start trends with terms

I know Guitar World's top 10 screamo albums had me tricked.

I was just reading in Rolling Stone and they said.. Hawthorne Heights I believe it was, was Screamo. It was either them or The Used. Either band being called Screamo is just as bad.

Who were Guitar World's top 10 screamo albums?
I am thoroughly intrigued.

1. Rites Of Spring- [I]Rites Of Spring[/I] (off to a good start)
2. Quicksand- [I]Slip[/I]
3. Refused- [I]The Shape Of Punk To Come[/I]
4. Fugazi- [I]In On The Kill Taker[/I]
5. Thursday- [I]Full Collapse[/I]
6. Sunny Day Real Estate- [I]Diary [/I] (I don't think they even scream on this album)
7. At The Drive-In- [I]The Relationship Of Command[/I]
8. Poison The Well- [I]The Opposite Of December[/I]
9. Glassjaw- [I]Worship And Tribute[/I]
10. Boysetsfire- [I]Ater The Eulogy[/I]

Though they started off good, it ended up just being a list of bands that used screaming.

I don't see the link between 'screamo' and all the other bands (apart from Rits of Spring, even though the 'link' is pretty vague there, too) though..

So what the **** are Quicksand doing on that list?
Slint, alright, but Quicksand?? I've heard people dub Slint 'emo,' which is sort of okay, when I listen to Spiderland I hear the 'emo' connection with all the arpeggios and spoken word stuff, but calling Quicksand screamo or even emo is tantemount to murder.

It was a strange list. But it had me thinking I was the ultimate screamo fan.

as much as i love at the drive-in, to call them a screamo band seems very silly to me. in fact, calling any of the bands there screamo seems a tad odd.

i am aware everyone else has said this. but i thought i'd say it anyway.

I agree with captain.

I've a question for torn.
Did you pick your username because you like Yaphet Kotto a lot? I know it's a song by them.
Just curious.

Only two or three of those deserve to be on the list, and that's if they used the word "emo" instead of "screamo".
