emo is gay shit like three days grace or atreyu where theres "corporate emotion" to sell. I'm not a fan of this band, I was just interested in hearing the BIG sample, but these guys are true musicians who have musical integrity which is very lacking on the radio nowadays, nuff said.
Genres are just ways people can express their taste in music..Every genre means something different to people due to the fact that there is no set of "rules" to define them. To me, this is indie punk, but to someone else it could be emo pop. All I know, and all the matters is Say Anything fucking rules. =]
"Whatever 'genre' (or music) one loves needs a defense, because half the world is too ignorant to really understand something before they dismiss it."
I am of the belief that, with at least 90% of music, if there is no emotion to it then it's not worth anyone's time. Music is expression, and I dislike music that sounds emotionless. It robs the performer of prescence. It creates fakes, posers and more.
This album took awhile to grow on me, there were only a few songs I really enjoyed and a few others I liked, but now I absolutely effing love it! Great song. <3
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Total (an all girl R&B group) sang it originally. Not sure these are the same people. But ha I thought I was the only one who noticed that it was notorious BIG.
no. not at all. the whole new album was in defense of the "emo" genre of music. the whole point being ANY good music has emotion. ADMIT IT was about the people who are non-conformists and think theyre better then everyone else for it. ^_^
@supersexyninjajunjun so true. People hear emo and think immediately of Hawthorne Heights/Black Veil Bride, etc. Emo as a music genre is Sunny Day Real Estate, They Will Know Us By The Trail of the Dead, Mineral, etc. Emotional lyrics (not always depression, but not ignoring it either.) that are put to almost alternative guitar riffs. Learn it.
@theillestkids Admit it! was him saying "people suck" and then later in the song "wait....I'm exactly the same. I suck too. Oh well I got my car and my guitar and I'm doing what I love."
@supersexyninjajunjun lol whatever, interpret it how you want . . . i take it as he was making fun of exactly what you said in your first comment, non-conformists that think they're better than everyone else, which during the early 2000's, when this song came out, "emo" was the "non-comformist douche fad" that was popular, and the whole i got my car and my guitar is him saying im happy with what i got and don't care what's cool, i just wana keep doing what im doing
@supersexyninjajunjun ps. the emo your speaking of is not a genre of music, it is a style . . . the only genre of music that is called "emo" is from the late seventies and it was verry similar to music like the fast paced punk music today but with complete and utter different meaning and feel to which never really took on. Then the 00's came around and "emo" style got big. People only refer to music today as emo because of the type of people that listen to it, not the sound of the music itself.
for people who are arguing over "emo"... EMO IS NOTHING. IT DOESNT EXIST. if it did, EVERY SERIOUS genre of music would be emo or "emotionally" because really, what would music be without emotion?
Emo does exist. It's a genre of music. It has to do with lyrics and instrumental content.
The lyrics contain emotional words or words speaking of emotion(ie. love, anger, etc).
The intruments are very dramatic and moving, being quite melodic.
Though "emo" as a genre has died away and has simply become a trend, emo is still something to look for. One example is a Metalcore band called Killswitch Engage. Though he is screaming, it's still emo. Try the song "Arms of Sorrow" No screaming.
They rock. This entire album is about what I just said in the line above. Yes it's emo, Yes it's kick ass, Deal with it. Liking an emo band is not the most embarrassing thing that will ever happen to you in your life. Emo doesn't mean fast-paced high pitched whining to a pop tune. Emo means Emotional and it's refreshed to pop-punkrock songs that are about deeper topics then sex and skateboarding.
This song uses the same sample as Juicy by The Notorious BIG. "You know very well what you are." does ne one know what the orginal sound is if it isnt juicy?
@ThiagoMS08 Say Anything was a very emo band prior to "...Is a Real Boy" and they definitely have some emo stuff in a few songs on In Defense. There's nothing wrong with an emotional, sad song about a girl.
lmao @ these 13 year olds commenting on what music is. EVERY genre is "emotional" or it would mean nothing

Say Anything isnt emo, just like no other bands are "emo". Yes many are emotional, but emo isnt anything. Its just a stereotype formed over the years.
But, if bands werent emotional, they would be one of those sell out bands that dont put any emotion into their songs.
Say anything is their own genre. How bout that?
