Rites Of Spring - Deeper Than Inside - Live 1985 9:30 Club

[zayneinsane]

Human Beings: please stop using the word 'emo.' The term reflects upon the mall culture of the mid-late 2000's. This is punk rock.

[thescarletsilence]

Emo is everything, everything is emo.

[potol5678]

Emo or not, THEY FUCKING RULE!!

... too bd they disbanded :(

[thescarletsilence]

they may be emo to alot of people...

but to me...

their too good to be emo!

their too good to be labeled!

and the whole point of emo is to look at it as a state of mind and a lifestyle!

its all basically the younger more sensitive version of punk and goth and indie rock and grunge but less dark...

its mainly about a bunch of misfit kids who dont have many people in the world who get together at their local venue to see their favorite band and try to connect!

[PaintballRush222]

actually its a style of cloathing, and thats pretty much it...the whole "sensative" thing is just a big steryotype

a lot of emos get sensative and depressed becasue people make fun of them but before they were made fun of they were just regualr people...

[xDeadShawnx]

no. emo is a style of music like this band that developed in the late 80s that died

and doens't exist anymore

[PaintballRush222]

that too

[amurphy18]

The World is my Fuse

[NHB55840]

@thescarletsilence You do know the gonra is emo (aka early screamo) Not the band, right? Emo didn't mean the same in the 80's

[thescarletsilence]

fuck you

metal is just a bunch of dudes with long hair and who write a bunch of violent music and some of it about satan which just so happens to be more hardcore than punk....

[twoboots4you]

...haha

[jacketology]

What kind of haircut do you have right now?

(DONT BLAME THE HAIRCUT)

[BraincageAZ]

You are fucking retarded. Rites of Spring are awesome!

[FORCEOFRAGE]

fail

[disoda]

metal is bullshit !

[remotecontrol1324]

why ?

[FORCEOFRAGE]

guys stop with the emo stuff this is a good song emo or not

[james619]

i love today's emo, and love this one too. not all emo of today is made to get fucked by someone or shit. some are really good, underoath's emo stuff were really deep, and so are glassjaw's. i hope these guys get more credit for they started a revolutionary genre which is emo, noit that emo that is just about eyelines and flashy hair, i am talking about the music. good emo is still out there, although it might have changed.

hope these guys have never broken up..

[SuperAsianCrunchTime]

Emo now, isn't emo ...

It's completely different.

It didn't evolve into a life style, what that flashy hair, and eyeliner crap is now, is just scene ...

Get it right .

[LeeTronX]

underoath is not emo

[thescarletsilence]

tell that to a bunch of christian emo's.

[Joshuaemx]

Old school emo owns!

[TheRacistsMustDie]

It is cool, but Rites Of Spring hate the label emo so . . .

[Zagrat0102]

this song is amazing!

[daretobedifferent23]

I like My Chemical Romance, but not because they're apparently emo, I just like the lyrics and tune.

This is awesome though!

[qxGarfieldxp]

The singer has badass hair huh? its so curly!

[sandystoner]

fuckin brilliant band i cant believe how under rated these guys are!!!

[solidone]

too bad "emo" didnt continue going in this direction instead of the dribbly flaccid fake mall punk we are saddled with now.

Rites of Spring were WAY ahead of the curve. I dont think even they realized it ...until well after they broke up. Dammit.

[Therojo]

@solidone though i don't know any other recent emo band that has the rites of spring sound... there is a new emo scene that recovers the sound of 90's emo/indie... empire! empire!, castevet...

[rigneyclan]

Anyone who thinks that Rites of Spring is even close to emo has a few loose screws. None of those 80's DC bands were emo, they were just Hardcore Punk.

[Twilight3dge]

This was the original emo. And what it actually means. Today's "emo" is just a bunch of pop-rockish crap that some retarded journalist called emo and it stuck. So, what you mean is today's music is nowhere close to emo.

[beaconed7]

this is what emo is all about not the so called emo out there who wears eye liner and make up while singing "i kissed another dude"!!!

[MyCheRoSk8]

How can people think this is emo? This looks like just another hardcore band

[LetUsDream]

Agreed.

[lubydub]

totally mate!

just another 80s hardcore punk band.

[Zingsterazn]

All emo was originally was hardcore with slightly deeper lyrics

[Karmapa1111]

listen to "for want of"

[emptyheadbrokenbones]

this coming from a chemical romance fan?

hahaha

[Twilight3dge]

This is the original emo. Today's crap is not "emo". Today's emo is more Indie and Popish-Rock.

[cupcaxe1]

i love this band ahh i love them

[Floydthefuckbag]

Amazing.

[oddiooverplay]

There was an energy at the ROS/HGL shows that was contagious. Legendary. DC was charged. Thank you so much for all your late '80s DC videos. Excellent time travel.

[unemployable18]

this band is awesome...I hate that a lot of punk bands that are shit compared with this are more considered by people

[abdulRHATBOO]

magaling idol

[hewarshewar]

fucking awesome. thanks for all these incredible videos.

[frankdambra]

incredibly powerfull song, thankyou so much for these videos.

[flamestillburns]

thanks so much for posting all of this amazing stuff. this band has meant a lot to me for years and it's a joy to see some of the few shows they played documented.

[Ralph85]

[xXRedJenXx]
