Lets not lable good music like this emo. Its degrading, at least in my view. Sure, being emotional is cool, but not the people who call themselves emo. (whiny attention whores)
God i hate lables, genres, stereotypes. Most good music doesnt easily fit a genre, because of its originality and distinct sound.
People! Let's just enjoy awesome music goshhh, it's not hard.
And people that don't like Jimmy Eat World, why the eff did you even click on something that says "Jimmy Eat world"?? Some people can just be really stupid.
If I read on more goddamn comment about JEW being emo, I'm going to go postal on all of you.
BEFORE COMMENTING: Click 'All Comments' and read the three or four people who have already written exactly what you're about to write about 'the meaning of the word' and then think of something more interesting to say.
"Emo" started in the 80's. It means emotional hardcore. Well it did.. now it's a stupid term that doesn't mean anything at all! Kids just throw it around as an image thing.
I liked this band a lot around the time this vid was made. I may have have been on of the 3 people who bought "Static Prevails" in 1996. This vid came out in 1999 and is kind of a rip off of a video Promise Ring made in 1997. Then Davey ends up with a vocal on the "Bleed American" album. If you think too long about it, your head will explode!!
I'm wondering why everyone is getting so worked up over JEW being emo. Does it really matter? Does it make them less awesome? The answer is no. So let's no argue over something completely stupid and just enjoy this little piece of awesome those guys put for us to enjoy.
im really not sure what album of jimmy eat world is the best... clarity is just amazing... same with chase this light and futures... but not jimmy eat world/bleed american... just don't like it as much as the others.
During the last chorus, they repeat it again as it fades out, whereas the album version has the drum loop going until it gets to "Your New Asthetic." Also, during the bridge, "Why can't I learn?" is repeated and is more in the mix than it is on the album version.

First of all, to dededirnt.... Bleed America sucks ass. He's one of those guys that goes to a concert to hear the one song he knows from the radio. I've seen Jimmy twice in concert and they hate those people. Lucky Denver Mint is a sweet song. Great video, but it makes me think the point is that no matter how good you are, there's always someone better than you. Eh. True, I guess. Five stars, I guess.
you mean Bleed American? and it doesn't suck ass. actually they hate people who say their music sucks ass. In his own words"Thanks Callum, every song I write is basically pure emotion. I pour everything I feel into words and tabs, so I guess maybe that's why I react so horribly to things like that. It's just hard for me to comprehend how someone could write off raw human emotion as "crap"."
Yeah!... It's so great that Jim Adkins is like a character in this movie. - He is like thinking,: "Hmm... I can do THIS!" And he owns them all! They're really cool! I love this band, it Rocks! *makes more "!"'s than anyone else in the world* I LOVE THIS BAND SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jimmy eat world was labled emo when their first album 'singles' came out. That was in 1994. Emo back then meant emotional. Now it means something completely different.
@MusicViideoChannel Their first album was released in 1995 and was self-titled. It was created on Wooden blue records. "Singles" was a compliation album released in 1999 that was compiled of a bunch of songs from various split ep's with bands like Christie Front Drive and Emery. it was released on Big Wheel Recreation records. Jimmy Eat World was not labeled "emo" for their first album, it is a pop-punk genre. Static Prevails (1996) stuck them with the "emo" label.
@MusicViideoChannel "singles" is not their first album. is not even a proper album. the first track of singles, "opener", has been included in a compilation by deep elm record called "the emo diaries vol. 1" so i guess that's where it all begun.
gregorian chant. to define a genre by its emotional nature seems to me not to be saying that its the only genre with emotion, but that it's notable for being at the high end of the scale..
yeah, clarity was a great album, i just love how unpretentious they are, theyre all about writing good songs, they dont want to experiment with african and carribean sounds and all that bullshit. they just like making good music, and i personally like all of their albums i think bleed american was the best in my opinion.
*Clarity* is a masterpiece, enjoyable in any situation and any stage of life. If you're not impressed by this song, listen to 'for me this is heaven', 'ten', 'your new asthetic' or 'goodbye sky harbour'. They're stellar

Jimmy Eat World is not emo. bands like Fall Out Boy and other homosexuals are emo. Jimmy Eat World is not emo. They are just a good band. I know that you emos what to think they are emo because you don't listen to anything except emo. well, fuck you and get over it. stop being close-minded-boy-lovers and just appriciate and love things as they are. just because they are no emo, doesn't mean that you can't listen their music. Limp Bizkit has some emotional songs too, are they emo? FUCK NO!
"Homosexual" is not a synonym for "shitty". Jimmy Eat World don't like the label "emo" as a band and the current definition of "emo" has shifted since when JEW were first slapped with it and it was fairly accurate. Nuff said..
And Jimmy Eat World are DEFINITELY emo. Just because emo bands have slowly changed their style, it doesn't stop what used to be classed as emo being emo. If you get what I mean. They might not be seen as emo when compared to other emo bands nowadays, but they are emo.
i agree completely, i mean back in the 90's being called an emo band wasn't seen as negative and the genera produced some really good bands i.e. SDRE, Mineral, Fugazi(im not sure if they're really emo or not but they're good non the less) Jimmy Eat World etc.
I agree as well, Jimmy Eat World are one of the original emo bands, it didn't have a negative connotation back in the 90's and it still doesn't in my opinion when referencing bands like JEW
alright. to all the people who say this is emo. incase your not retarded and just need this explained. emo is emotion. therefore. anything thats not bloodhound gang can be emo because most all lyrics have some line of emotion in them. so quit being a fag and stop stealing your moms make up. i didn't realize that having parents that love you and friends who care about you makes your life so terrible and bad. and dont coment on my spelling fuckers.
i wont comment on your spelling. the logical flaws are too glaring for me to get that far - emotional music is emotional. "emo" music is a subgenre. one which is much maligned, one which USED TO mean bands like Jimmy Eat World and now means bands like Fall Out Boy. this, by a slowly fading definition, is emo music, like it or not. in fact they were the FIRST mainstream "emo" band.
your tirade is stupid. not everyone who listens to any sort of music is anything. to say everyone who listens to what you think is "emo" is a suburban crybaby depressive-wannabe is about as smart as using "fag" as an insult. now go back to watching wwe and voting for bush...we're finished with you here.
Every time an emo kid cries, a viking comes down from the pagan lands and dismembers him.. (and you're one of those, i guess. definitely not the viking)
I'd never seen this video. Clarity is one of my favorite albums ever. I think this silly video is pretty contrary to the song, though. I wonder how much input the band had in it...
Who the fuck cares if it's emo? I like the shit so fuck off.
