I pimped Me And Him Call It Us in this thread at least 4 or 5 months ago.

dang.

I'm on the fence about I Have Dreams, I like the epic, spine-tingling parts, but then it goes all chug-chug-squeal like some mediocre emo metal band. I'm tracking down their stuff on slsk right now though, so I'm gonna check them out further.

OH, thanks to whoever brought up nervous light of sunday, I dug them immensely.

Good review. The last time i did a review my computer crashed when i was almost finished.

"I have a raging erection for every other instrumental element of the band(...)"

You rock, DFelon. Hot Cross rocks harder though, no offense. :)

Hey, no problem.
My friend introduced me to them.
I thought they were going to be a giant rip-off of CTTS, but they aren't.
Their Japanese instead.

^^^
Speaking of Japanese 'core' bands, I need to listen to more Envy, they floor me every time.

only one song on there in the media section

Call to all user of this thread.

I had this idea to write an introduction to emo, with all you guys' help, in the form of a text. Kids who talk about the Used, Dashboard Confessional etc labelling them as "emo" piss me off and I can't bear it no more. And I can't point them to fourfa.com, it's too long of a read.

Basically, give a detailed definition of emo, including historical points, founding bands, etc... Everyone could give a few characteristics of the genre or a point to specify and we could sum it all in one text I'd carry in my pocket to educate ignorants. Of course we could post it right here and make it a reference for the emo genre, something solid enough to educate people and point them in the right directions but not dictionary-length.

I usually start arguments about emo by pointing out that emo means "emotional hardcore", the hardcore point being very important, because all bands falsely labelled as "emo" are usually very mainstream and contain no elements of hardcore.

Then, I specify that the bands labelled as "emo" in the mainstream are classified as such because they associate with the emo "slice-your-wrists" culture and "style", which has pretty much nothing to do with the actual musical genre.

I'll think of more later. Fire away, please.

Emotional Hardcore, Emo for short, is a genre started in 1985 by bands like Rites of Spring and Moss Icon who took the basic foundations of hardcore and added in artsy guitar lines, poetic lyrics, and passionate vocals. Over time, emo has evolved into a few different styles. There's traditional emo (Moss Icon, Driftwood), hardcore emo (Reach Out, Heroin), mid-west indie influenced (Rockets and Blue Lights, Nuzzle), and screamo (You and I, Usurp Synapse). Although it HAS evolved, absolutley none of the mainstream bands like Hawthorne Heights and Thursday are emo or an evolution of emo. Most, if not all of those bands are either Pop-Punk or Post-Hardcore. The decision to call bands like alexisonfire screamo was arbitrary and mis-informed. Don't be fooled by what the media tells you.

Or something.

:thumb: Great also for clearing out how the actual media-classified emo bands really aren't.

Oh and nervous light of sunday is amazing (to whoever posted the link) I also thought they were a rip-off of CTTS due to their name.

Not bad Wow...

Due to the nature of its bands, emo is not very well known to the public. Most emo bands had very short lives and some of them never released an actual record (only demos and such). This made it impossible for some bands to gain a vast reputation while they were still active. This is not true for all bands though, as there are a few successful acts in the emo genre which are still active and vastly known by the emo "community", Circle Takes The Square and Hot Cross being very good examples.

The emo musical genre has NOTHING to do with the emo "slice-my-wrists" culture. Emo, musically speaking, is not about cutting your wrists, cutting your hair so it covers 50% of your face, wearing girl pants when you're a male, putting mascara all over your eyes, etc. Emo is about making hardcore music in an artsy/poetic way to focus on a varied specter of emotions. Yes, most music is about emotion... but emo is hardcore-derived; while hardcore focuses on feelings of rage and alienation through a political struggle, emo is generally more introspective.



I'm stretching it too much, I'll summarize this. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.

I like. Keep it how it is.

Bravo. Very good.

How's the new list coming, btw?

Dude, Kenny is one of my gods. I should check it out sometime.

Hey DFelon, what's up?
