So who wants to hook me up with every song ever recorded by Julia?

Hey, the Something Awful forums have something called the "SAclopedia," which has definitions for a bunch of favorite topics. I added a definition under "emo" that was badly needed, I think:

[b]Emo stands for "emotional hardcore," and refers to a style of hardcore punk music which had roots in the Washington, DC area. Notable emo bands include Rites of Spring, Hot Cross, Saetia, Antioch Arrow, and Indian Summer.

However, in the last five years the term "emo" has come to mean something entirely different. Now the term is generally thought to refer to bands like Taking Back Sunday or Dashboard Confessional, which are actually just glorified pop-punk bands.

Regardless of the actual name for this new music trend, it is still acceptable to refer to its fans as "emo kids." The black-rimmed glasses, the crying, the cutting, and the sappy poetry are all part of the emo kid lifestyle, but actual emo music is not. No wonder they're so depressed. [/b]

Good?

Isn't it sad that a respectable site such as allmusic.com has Taking Back sunday categorised as 'emo'?

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]No. The problem is the black frame glasses and all that is completely unlike everybody I know who listens to real emo. I mean look at me. I wear jeans, more notably [i]men's[/i] jeans, and just t-shirts and skateboarding/indoor soccer shoes. I play rugby and tennis. "Emo kids" are supposed to sit in their room and cup and write bad poetry. My poetry is sweet. What the hell. Be more cruel with the diction. Say that like "the term 'emo' has been butchered into defining a group of suburban white kids who listens to indie and pop punk." Even better call it popcore. That'd do them a number.[/QUOTE]

Lots of 'emo kids' wear horn-rims, YL thrift store shirts and slacks.

Lowend 03-03-2005 12:25 PM

i did not know this forum existed....

i <3 emo/screamo/whatevercore

RetiredAt21 03-03-2005 01:14 PM

The scene around here is dominated by kids with black hair, girl pants, and Taking Back Sunday shirts. A shame it is.

YDload 03-03-2005 01:18 PM

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]None in my experience. Most of my friends from home who listen to emo are very independent of these trends you call they adhere to.[/QUOTE]

There's a difference between emo kids and fans of emo.

tornpictures 03-03-2005 01:32 PM

Totalliez.

Anyway, back when the music was being made, lots of kids just wore whatever.
Big pants and t-shirts. (SERIOUSLY XL!)
If bands made/sold shirts, they were either L or XL, mostly.

BuddyBigsby 03-03-2005 04:06 PM

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]Also, they called Snapcase an emo band. They're in album highlights along with Alkaline Trio and Cap'n Jazz. How retarded can one site be?[/QUOTE]

They reviewed a Rag Men CD (ex-Merauder, Hatebreed) and referred to their music as a more aggressive Nickelback.

joemarsh 03-03-2005 06:59 PM

i dont like emo/screamo myself so i ask this community what is is about this music is so great? (im not trying to insult anyone im just looking for an asnwer)

BuddyBigsby 03-03-2005 07:02 PM

Well firstly you haven't heard emo, so this is the wrong place to ask for the type of "emo" you're thinking of. If you want to learn about real emo and the misconceptions that bands like Underoath, The Used, Senses Fail, etc. are emo, then read through this thread. Otherwise, take your question to pop-punk where you'll be greeted with something like "bcuz tehy por der harts out i meen taek burt form the used he pueks onstage omg thast so intens"

RetiredAt21 03-03-2005 07:21 PM

Ack. The Used.

Happymeal 03-03-2005 08:14 PM

Anyone here like Mohinder? I just listened to one song and I really like it. I'm trying to look for their discography..

BuddyBigsby 03-03-2005 08:29 PM

I have it, but on my other computer.

cbmartinez 03-03-2005 08:39 PM

Haha, it's in my other pants.
