i guess my take on what emo is is more based on the mid/late 90s version than the current one.

Such Blinding Stars For Starving Eyes and Domestica both unquestionably have early emo influences. There are parallels throughout both of those albums to earlier emo rock artists. So I'd say WeX is fairly on the money in that call. By the time they added Gretta Cohn though and started really expanding their horizons with Burst and Bloom, The Ugly Organ and beyond - as well as the secondary fact that Tim Kasher has grown as a songwriter and lyricist - their sound had transcended into something far more based in indie rock and even post-hardcore, to an extent.

I detest being in the presence of one FA, I cannot fathom how much hatred I will have for four of them.

Emo began with acts like Rites of Spring in the 80s and continued on in the early to mid 90s with Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbreaker. The New Jersey scene really picked up steam with Thursday, Midtown, and bands like that who started to popularize the genre. It blew up these past few years with acts like My Chemical Romance and Fallout Boy who most "old school" emo fans dismiss as candy coated pop garbage.

Anyway, Trips has it right. Most of the "It's not emo" lines ceom from people who don't want to be associated with pansies in black eyeliner. Though it's funny that I've gotten hissyfits from mitch for saying Coheed and Camria weren't emo AND for saying they were. Sorry, that just never gets old. When it was all the rage to be emo, they were emo, and now that it's not, they can't be emo lolol. |

six years ago, so well done. Also, I would hardly say it was "all the rage" to be emo around the time we had the conversation, since it's really only been in the last three or four years (especially over here) that it's risen to any kind of mainstream prominence, so y'know. And I would've been what? Sixteen? Do you really, six years down the track, want to continue gloating about proving a sixteen year old child wrong and not being able to move on? Whatever floats your boat, buddy. You are an absolute dichotomy of maturity sometimes, KK. |

And moreover, beyond that, have you listened to any Coheed and Cambria lately? Their music on Good Apollo, Vol II is WORLDS away from anything they released on Second Stage Turbine Blade. So you know what? Screw you KK, it's got nothing to do with whether or not it's the rage to be emo. Soundwise, which is what we should be thinking of anyway, Coheed and Cambria have unquestionably come leaps and bounds away from the emo-tinged prog-rock sound of Second Stage and solidly into a far more metal-influenced, experimental prog feel. So bite me, really.
BUT OH NOES ITS NOT THE RAGE TO BE EMO, THATS WHY |

blink-182 is not really emo at all, they are ridic poppy. Also, Metallica are bigger faggots than any other band could hope to achieve, but good try anyway.

a beautiful girl can make you dizzy
like you've been drinking jack and coke all morning she can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man -- promise. promise of a better day. promise of a greater hope. promise of a new tomorrow. this particular aura... can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. in her smile in her soul the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's gonna to be okay. crossrine |
