I kinda recommend disabling comments on these Rites videos - it just ends in very long and very pointless debates about REAL EMO and shit. At least that is what I think! The music should speak for itself, not via a wikipedia article or via some self-righteous journalist. Wuv from meee

@charlessale I think they add color to the video and even some historical context, Charles. I like that people still have discussions about music and bands and stuff :)

this is definitely emo. This is original emo before all the "scene" kids who shoppe at HotTopic and wear their sisters trousers came by and fucked it all up. Most people nowdays, even those in the "emo" scene have absolutely no idea what emo really is.

oh shut the fuck up,rites of spring dont care about emo or punk they just cared about rockin

[TheKimberBenton]

I really don't remember there being any emo kids even in the late '90s. I'm sure there might have been a few around somewhere, but emo was fairly unknown until 2002-03.

I think in it's early years (1985-2001) you really had to be deep into the scene. 2002 on, and it's trendy and mainstream. It was extremely underground then though.

Rites of Spring are punk. That's all there is to it.

[MrMacGrungy]

@maimingbetty amen. Even mcr say their not emo :D

[Watts660]

Really people, how gives a rats ass about 'emo'. Rites of Spring were a fucking amazing band, period. Let the music speak for itself.

Sorry to double-post, I didn't understand what "pending approval" meant

[TheWanderingPrimate]

Pfft haha! I wasn't expecting to see a lame "emo" battle on a Rites of Spring video. At no point has that meaningless pseudo-label ever entered my mind whilst rockin old Dischord albums, and I think Guy would agree:

'I've never recognized "emo" as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever... honestly, I just thought all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional?' - Picciotto

[TheWanderingPrimate]

Hah what the eff? I didn't expect to see a lame "emo" argument on this video. At no point while listening to Rites or any such DC indie/hc bands have I ever even thought of that empty and meaningless pseudo-label. And Guy would agree:

"I've never recognized "emo" as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever... The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional? What - they were robots or something?" - Picciotto - 2003 interview
