Are these emo?
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. |

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. |

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

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. |

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

Emotional rock. Or something retarded about whining.

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

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.
