This song Makes me want to dump some one for no apparent reason...

Gotta love the old school Emo pop.

Blink makes a totally different type of music. The Get up Kids can't be rivaled by the likes of them.

@ourlucidream Mackaye called it shit, but only the term. He was a roadie for Rites of Spring because he liked the music so much. "If Minor Threat was hardcore, then Rites of Spring, with its altered focus, was emotional hardcore or emocore." It's a simple genre title, nothing more, and it perfectly explained the music. Emo isn't only singing about girls btw. It's much more complex than that. People really hate the term emo nowadays because we have Warped Tour and shit like that.

@vampirexbride yeah emo music is good in 80s and 90s

[Phoenixsinger93]

@vampirexbride Well, you would think wrong.

[vampirexbride]

well I think all 'emo' music is always associated with depressive kids having their hair dyed black and being desperate and sitting in a corner etc.

at least the modern mainstream-like emo has such an image...self destruction as an important part of growing up and so on^^

and the modern emo also has to do with a certain style, so its more mainstream and all about fashion etc...

i like music.

[ourlucidream]

They dont want themselves associated with it. Its a corporate term for music. Even back in the 80's when it first surfaced Ian Mackaye called it a load of shit.

Also tharun4; Metallica has made songs about girls-are they emo?

Were the Beatles Emo?

Emo is a load of shit.

[matthewsomethingteen]

yea but everything thats emo has another category like pop punk, indie, alternative, dance, hardcore. so nothing is just Emo, there's always something else

[whalemagnet]

i know its about emotions, as is a lot of music that doesnt fall into the emo category. i think "emo" just has a bad connotation and i dont want the get up kids associated with that

[Tharun4]

why wouldn't it be considered emo, its about emotions. particularily emotions about girls who aren't with you anymore. I'm pretty sure thats exactly what emo is.

or are you confusing emo with this new screamo/goth fusion shit that people call emo these days
