Are these emo?

[Sickboy]

I'm not sure what emo is so could someone tell if these are emo? :?:


The Strokes - 12:51 (or was it 12:54 :?: )
deadLine - Talk to Me



Thanks. :wave:

[Triple A]

The Strokes, not really. Maybe they do have kind of a punkish sound to them, but they are probably more "rock" than "punk".

Haven't heard the other band.

[Sickboy]

So, emo means a type of punk, right? Is it like softer punk?

Emo is to punk as the warner brothers are to hardcore porn.

wait, I take that back. VU is totally emo. :D

[Kane Knight]

If anyone needs proof, just try "Oh! Sweeth Nuthin'"

[Ska-Wars]

Emo is "emotional hardcore"
And if you're talking about the Deadline I think you're talking about then there is no way in hell that they are emo.

[Sickboy]

No, I'm not talking about the English punk band named Deadline, but about the German band named deadLine.

<font color=teal>Emotional rock. Or something retarded about whining.</font>

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Singer with high-pitched plaintive voice, usually, and repetitive wall of guitar sound, with whiney melodies.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

The Strokes, though I don't really like them, are not particularly whiney. They're more nonchalent sounding or lazy.

Emo is good only in small doses.

[PoisonIvy]

And no, The Strokes aren't emo.

[Kane Knight]
