I think I've come up with a good definition of emo:Hardcore or hardcore influenced music with deeply personal, often abstract lyrics, melodic(for hardcore) singing and guitars and song structures that build and release tension as the song goes on. Frequently includes arpeggiated guitars and use of distortion/chorus effects but this is not necessarily required.
does it really matter what kind of music it is , if u like it you like it and if you dont, move on to something else god sakes quit whining like babies and starting pointless arguments over stereotyping and labeling xxx
GUYS!!!! there is no such thing as labels or genres, music is music, it's all amazing, no need for labeling at all. And what's with sell outs? there is no such thing as selling out either, it's just a band letting you know they like to play more than one style of music!
I am not very comfortable singing in public or around certain people....but I will sing the hell out of LDOA songs in my car with the windows down all over town.
haha ive spent two weeks working on their old label bad taste records, the owner is a friend of the family .D thats how i started listening, theyre amazing... any logh fans here btw??
because ive been listening to this band for 10+years and its not emo. its indy rock. i dont wana see kids talking for my and other true fan's band when i want a quick listen.. its just sickening to see people speak for this band when they dont even know who they are and what type of music they make. learn something please?
Indie is everything thats not apart of an major lable. Emo is a lifestyle and clothing line ,and will never be a type of music since Post-Hardcore is the genre for this type of music. This band is Post-Hardcore... If you don't know what that means learn something
so funny how these kids come out of no where and try to say that this band is ''emo'' or some shit...you new generation listeners can only comment once you hit 5 years listening to this band haha.. much love to all the real fans out there! indy rock + ldoa for life!! <3
WOW SUPERSTARSEVEN!! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!! LDOA IS INDY ROCK!!!!!!! GET WITH IT NEW GENERATION LISTENERS.. ldoa4life!!! much love. this song brings back so many memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any confusion that this band is emo might stem by the fact that the American distributor of their music is Deep Elm Records who are known for their Emo Diaries compilation albums.
It may also come from the fact that the band has confessionalist lyrics and a post-punk/indie sound similar to other bands influenced by Sunny Day Real Estate.
@javiikiller nope youre thinking of bands like at the drive in, if youre looking for pretty much all the aspects of emo music id say this was as close as youll get
I miss these bands I loved in high school. Great memories!!!

It's both reasons my friend, don't think you're one-upping anybody so calm down.
Superstarseven 3 years ago
So we're agreed then?
My mistake. It's just a little annoying having people deny a band's genre/style just because said genre/style has a bad stigma.
I don't like Emo, but I listen to the Get Up Kids, ergo the Get Up Kids aren't Emo.
SAWittie 3 years ago
maybe if they have an emo-ish sound, and are signed to deep elm, they are emo? being emo isn't a bad thing
