emos is just another version of punk such as goth, however its been twisted around by fags, and is now generalized as someone who listens to fall out boy and cries all the time and cuts themselves.
@misfitsfan28 the all black and hair in the face was always a goth thing, so when I saw these kids who called themselves "emo" I was like "wtf" O_O it makes no sense at all and no offense to anyone but most of these kids who are into that creature they created or try to justify by saying "emos different now" are usually very ignorant and don't know this music, goths know there music roots and so do punks, but these kids don't know shit about anything
A couple of years I got interested in discovering what emo really was. Because I was tired of the mainstreams and stupid teenagers idea of what they thought emo was suppose to be. Thanks to your videos man, i learned what emo was all about and you helped me discover some really awesome bands. Thanks for taking the time to create these awesome videos.
the problem is we are forced to define a music into some sort of genre. genre's don't exist, they are just made up by people to put things in a pretty little box and define people. good music is good music. becuase i love fugazi and falling forward does not mean i am emo. i also love sick of it all and gorilla biscuits, am i hardcore? i also love old metallica and slayer am i metal? i also love bad religion and penywise am i punk? if you like music listen to it who cares what people think!
I know the roots of my scene, I love the music, old and new. So...I dunno. I guess the label doesn't matter to me. I enjoy being part of the scene. I love the music. (Btw, there is a revival brewing of old school emo, and the bands are fucking incredible. Not as good as the originals, but a close second). (An example being Joie de vivre)
You know. I wear all the fashion that is associated with "new" emo. But I love Rites of Spring, Fugazi, Capn' Jazz, The Get Up Kids, Moss Icon, etc. Why not? It's good music. I also agree with what most people call the "Emo" personality. I also listen to the bands that kids think are emo nowadays. It's good music (most of it anyway). I really don't think it matters. Emo is a style of music, scene is the fashion people associate with the newer version of that genre. I don't think it matters.
@XxAdTrFrEaKiNrOcKsXx Times have changed. Emo to kids now means exactly what you described it as. The true definition of emo is lost in the hearts of all the good souls from the 80s who created this genre, if you want to call it a genre, and with the people that are true to it. It's sort of like the word gay. 30 years ago gay meant happy and nothing else. Now it means homosexual. It's just kids being kids.
@XxAdTrFrEaKiNrOcKsXx hey dude genres change, old school rock sounds nothing like new rock, old school rap sounds nothing like new rap, shit changes get over it. its no big deal people worry over the smallest things now and days, there's bigger shit to be worried about, then complaining about whats emo and whats not, plus youre 15 no offence but you havnt really expierienced life yet so keep your opinion to yourself
this is true emo i hate all the fashion scene emo poser kids emo was never about looks it was about real music not a fashion look all that scene kids can go fuck themselves cause of them all people dont know what real emo screamo and post hardcore is
o.k iam fifteen and i hate kids my age or around thinking becausr tehery calim there depressed wear all black and lisen to so called sreameo/emo/scene music there consided emo. emo is a type of music that i bet was really awesome that does not really excist anymore because of simple minded kids its the same thing with real punk and real hiphop
Yay, emo back before there was a freaking dress code! And when the music was a hell of a lot of fun! Of course I hit emo during the height of alternative whinyness, which is what people keep using for modern "emo". Eesh.
Oh wait, there was kind of an unofficial dress code. It was whatever we could afford at the Goodwill because we spent all our money on cassettes and shows. Heh.

man i wish i could of discovered these bands sooner :( i really like the music! it sounds like it has more feel to it then the commercialized(hope i spelled it right) lame ass bands like fob n mcr.. thnx 4 posting this!!!!!!!
I thought "emo" style was skinny jeans, black converse, and like black band T's and stuff and black hair? Now it's like. I dunno. The Justice store on crack.
@DanniHeartsU hahaha no that's just a bunch of 13 year old hott topic fanboys, the emo bands i listen too, i would be honored to be called and emo kid. and im 20 lol
@boneyskull84 I'm sorry dude but you clearly don't know what you're talking about. You seem to think emo refers to the shitty mallccore pop-punk around today. Well "emo" was around WAY before that and bands like this were being called "emo" or "emo-core" before Fall Out Boy were even in junior high.
There. Now you're enlightened, so you no longer have to make embarrassingly unfounded threats.
Fugazi and embrace are thousand times better than all the modern "emo" bands, like my chemical romance and all those. Not that I necessarily hate them, but the early socalled emocore with ian mckaye just kicks their ass
@BearWindAppleyard MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS NOT EMO GOSH they r horror punk man, you liking fugazi should know whats the new wave of emo... some examples? Eyes Set To Kill, Raein, Hopes Die Last, Blessthefall, Alexisonfire, A Static Lullaby, they are new wave emo bands, bands you wont hear on the radio, why? cause they r underground, how real new wave emo is these days
@JzXify The media are calling them emo, I know that doesn't mean that they are emo... I don't really know that much about emo in generel, but maybe it will come...
@BearWindAppleyard yeah, I knew aboout the media calling them emo's... but the media thinks they know more about something than the people who followed it, so I wont really keep fighting about that thats MCR probs, all I know is that they got their inspiration from an 80s punk band called the misifts, which was the band who started the looking black thing and dark, horrific lyrics with punk music, called horror punk, sorry if I overacted in last comment anyways
@JzXify it's cool, I know about The Misfits, I would maybe say they also got some inspiration from the 90's commercial punk bands like Green day, and also from some of these real emo-bands, I hear some similarities in Rites of Spring's sound, particularly in one song...
punk bands have been singing songs about emotions long before these bands,what about the buzzcocks,wipers,etc...Fuck how good do drive like jehu sound compared to the shit out there now.Wire,mission of burma as well.Emo seems to clump together any band that sang songs from the gut,which is so not true of this new drivel.Bloody shame,just another watering down of a punk sub genre.
Now this actualy IS emo, unlike the stuff you hear on the radio today. If half the scene kids who listen to supposed "emo" stuff thats popular mainstream-wise gave this a listen, you think they would like it at all? =P
Every decade has shitty music, and you know what? all of it is mainstream. If you want good music in the 2000s, you just need to look underground, because a LOT of good music came out this decade.
I am sick and tired of "kids" now-a-days classifying emo as a personality trait, when it's actually the great type of genre that has helped me and, i'm sure, many others through so much. these kids with their Fall Out Boy and their inaccurate use of the word "emo", as in, 'you're emo because you wear black and listen to REAL music.'? don't think so. they need to reach out to bands like The Get Up Kids and Jawbreaker. if only these kids could see we've all been seeing for all this time.
@MrIlikecheese13 I go to a school where kids worship Nicki Minaj it's horrifying ... I usually want to educate them musically . I mean seriously some kid asked me "Who is Queen?" and another goes "Emo isn't a music style its cutting yourself and writing bad poetry"
emo isn't even a concrete genre, at least not yet. Fugazi would be flabberghasted to be compared to such talentless fucks like my chemical romance and the academy is..
I don't understand why people think bands such as MCR (although I do like them) are emo. I'd seriously shoot myself in the face if I was in a REAL emo band and was compared to a band like Fall out Boy...
MCR was a hard working band on "Bullets" so the DIY ethic and raw sound is what most consider Emo but seriously they werent and aren't emo. As far as Heathenlegions goes... I disagree with so much of that but whatever. Emo is dead in my opinion... aside from Saetia and Circle Takes the Square... its not a genre anymore
It's kind of sad that the emo genre never got as big as alternative... then again I bet if it did the media would try to change it like everything else...
Well, i mean i dress like that, and frankly kids call me emo, but i listen to good stuff, like Fugazi SDRE, The Promise Ring, THe Get up kids, Saves The Day, Jawbreaker, etc. Everyone else comes in with band shirts like BRING ME THE HORIZON, and A Day to Remeber, It was funny these kids one day asked me if i liked BMTH, I had a SDRE shirt on, I turned to them, and i was like Sorry I only listen to good music not garbage, pointed at my shirt and turned around.
@MCRFANGD2 actually i brought you bullets was kinda post hardcore and alternative-ish so yea they did start off kinda emo...i mean not that poser shit we hear today
maybe at some point someone called them an emo band but theyre just post punk/hardcore
"I must say one thing. I must say emocore must be the stupidest f$%ing thing I've ever heard in my entire life [...] emocore? Emotional hardcore?? As if hardcore wasn't emotional to begin with. Anyway, it's caca. I hate to say it but you can only hold your silence for too long about this stupid sh#$t." -ian mackay
i think it's interesting to call these bands emo...i mean, it never really was a true sub genre. you could call pretty much any post hardcore band from the early 90s emo, especially if they were on an indie label. i always thought of drive like jehu as math rock, but i suppose in this sense the emo moniker fits. really though, if you're talking about emo in the early 90s, you need to mention sunny day real estate.
to be precise, My Chemical Romance is a completely different sub genre, also referred to as emo. genre names come back to describe different types of music all the time. look at ska, hardcore, garage, even punk. prapagandhi and the ramones have nothing musically in common... yet still, both indisputably punk rock.
I don't get why so many people are ashamed of the word emo. I happen to think emo is artful, and a beautiful expression of frustration and love through music.
In regards to the Revolution Summer bands, particularly Fugazi...they never set out to be either "emo" or "emotive." Ask Ian MacKaye and he'll tell you that he thought that Minor Threat was just as "emotive" or "emotional" as Fugazi (or Embrace or The Evens, for that matter). It is interesting, however, since Ian (Embrace) and Guy Picciotto's (Rites of Spring) bands prior to Fugazi were the first bands to be called Emo (emotional hardcore), largely as a swipe at their bands.
Real emo is still alive. It's just too underground to be noticed. And with bands like MCR, FOB etc. being labeled as emo, they're probably never gonna be noticed.
in my opinion, Gerard is just ignorant to music, he said quote "Emo is f****n bulls**t and i hate people that associate emo to mcr" first of all, they are punk, a derivative of emo and they sing depressing stuff lol Im not okay, Thank you for the venom and second of all, there really are good emo bands that know what they are doing that mcr is a disgrace of
Ian Mackaye said that emo is the dumbest thing he's ever heard. At a show in '86, he said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Like hardcore wasn't already emotional anyway?". I think thats a good question. Also, Ian Mackaye is arguably one of the biggest figures in hardcore, and we know that without hardcore, there'd be no emo, so even people like us who know what real emo is still need to question how eager we are to put tags on things. Oh, and The Cure was formed in the 70's. Not emo.
I really like that you are trying to teach kids that are new to the subculture about our history. Bands like rites of spring, the hated, moss icon, and other DC/Maryland bands. ANy one like the Hated? fucking amazing band that played around 1986-1990. people call them folk punk, like the fore fathers of against me!...so like i said, good for you man, i hate it when i see a stupid comments from stupid kids...but i cant get angry cause they will always be there. hit me up if you want to talk music
anything that flows into the mainstream will become stigmatized... due to the fact that shitty bands label themselves as whatever is considered "cool" at that short moment of time.
no mamen esto no es emo no sean ignorantes esto es punk de antaño los creadores del verdader punkrock asi k no esten jodiendo ni saben que honda pero hablan a lo idiota....... primero informense malditos emos
the real EMO thing like using the word and things like that is started by rites of spring but i would agree if you say that the real genre is started togheter by embrace and rites of spring after bands like dag nasty make it possible to do things like that
Jeez, Fugazi are Emo. A lot of the dudes who post on this video just don't want to admit that they like something that could be classified as an "emo" band. Get over it.
Now I know the TRUE meaning of emo....

O.k lets get this straight I was in high school in the mid to late 80's and all
the trends were the same only different names. It called Identity.
Everyone needs one and in fact if you look deep inside yourselves you will
find that the alternative is isolation. There is nothing wrong with how you
fit in with your genre. The key is not to hate and avoid those who do.
Oh yeah stoners listened to Fugazi at least we did

MCR was a hard working band on "Bullets" so the DIY ethic and raw sound is what most consider Emo but seriously they werent and aren't emo. As far as Heathenlegions goes... I disagree with so much of that but whatever. Emo is dead in my opinion... aside from Saetia and Circle Takes the Square... its not a genre anymore
ChasingNever 2 years ago
I agree.
It's kind of sad that the emo genre never got as big as alternative... then again I bet if it did the media would try to change it like everything else...
MCRFANGD2 2 years ago
I would say they all ready have changed it. I mean it's not even a style of music anymore it's a haircut and tight pants.
headsupkid01 2 years ago
Well, not necessarily.
For the most part, it's just a style now but there are still real emo bands out there. You just have to look a little harder.

Well, i mean i dress like that, and frankly kids call me emo, but i listen to good stuff, like Fugazi SDRE, The Promise Ring, THe Get up kids, Saves The Day, Jawbreaker, etc. Everyone else comes in with band shirts like BRING ME THE HORIZON, and A Day to Remeber, It was funny these kids one day asked me if i liked BMTH, I had a SDRE shirt on, I turned to them, and i was like Sorry I only listen to good music not garbage, pointed at my shirt and turned around.

allot of these bands, namely fugazi, are not emo
maybe at some point someone called them an emo band but theyre just post punk/hardcore
"I must say one thing. I must say emocore must be the stupidest f$%ing thing I've ever heard in my entire life [...] emocore? Emotional hardcore?? As if hardcore wasn't emotional to begin with. Anyway, it's caca. I hate to say it but you can only hold your silence for too long about this stupid sh#$t." -ian mackay

WTF. Fugazi is not emo in any form. They were straight peace-punk. Wtf is this shit. D: Fugazi would be offended.
urfacesucksassnutt 2 years ago
i think it's interesting to call these bands emo...i mean, it never really was a true sub genre. you could call pretty much any post hardcore band from the early 90s emo, especially if they were on an indie label. i always thought of drive like jehu as math rock, but i suppose in this sense the emo moniker fits. really though, if you're talking about emo in the early 90s, you need to mention sunny day real estate.

My Chemical Romance (and their ilk) are all fucking garbage.
Rhym35w1th0range 2 years ago
to be precise, My Chemical Romance is a completely different sub genre, also referred to as emo. genre names come back to describe different types of music all the time. look at ska, hardcore, garage, even punk. prapagandhi and the ramones have nothing musically in common... yet still, both indisputably punk rock.

I don't get why so many people are ashamed of the word emo. I happen to think emo is artful, and a beautiful expression of frustration and love through music.

In regards to the Revolution Summer bands, particularly Fugazi...they never set out to be either "emo" or "emotive." Ask Ian MacKaye and he'll tell you that he thought that Minor Threat was just as "emotive" or "emotional" as Fugazi (or Embrace or The Evens, for that matter). It is interesting, however, since Ian (Embrace) and Guy Picciotto's (Rites of Spring) bands prior to Fugazi were the first bands to be called Emo (emotional hardcore), largely as a swipe at their bands.

Real emo is still alive. It's just too underground to be noticed. And with bands like MCR, FOB etc. being labeled as emo, they're probably never gonna be noticed.

Ian Mackaye said that emo is the dumbest thing he's ever heard. At a show in '86, he said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Like hardcore wasn't already emotional anyway?". I think thats a good question. Also, Ian Mackaye is arguably one of the biggest figures in hardcore, and we know that without hardcore, there'd be no emo, so even people like us who know what real emo is still need to question how eager we are to put tags on things. Oh, and The Cure was formed in the 70's. Not emo.

I really like that you are trying to teach kids that are new to the subculture about our history. Bands like rites of spring, the hated, moss icon, and other DC/Maryland bands. ANy one like the Hated? fucking amazing band that played around 1986-1990. people call them folk punk, like the fore fathers of against me!...so like i said, good for you man, i hate it when i see a stupid comments from stupid kids...but i cant get angry cause they will always be there. hit me up if you want to talk music
