Emo by a longshot

I change my vote

Emo is fantastic.

Replace "fantastic" with "mediocre at best" and we agree.

Mediocre? Don't overrate it, KK.

I would have put good money on you being emo. Are you a country fan, then?

Not really. I do like some country though.

So what exactly do you like?

For the record, both my parents are country fans, so some of it rubbed off on me. I sat down and learned to play the entire Swinging Steaks "Southside of the Sky" record, minus like one track.

I don't really stick to one genre. I listen to a variety of different types of music, there's usually "good" and "bad" of every kind of music but I haven't heard any of this emo shit that I actually like. It all sounds the same too.

A variety of types of music such as...?

And you do realise that, despite your argument abot "good" and "bad" music, you've essentially just used the same argument most people use for describing a genre they just don't like, period?

I meant there is 'good' and 'bad' of most genres imo. I just can't stand this emo shit. I'll listen to some country, rap, rock, etc. Almost everything except this shit which all sounds the same imo.

And that's what other people say.

There is some decent Emo. I won't exactly be going to any concerts with 12 year old faggots any time soon, but that's partially just because I'm not Catholic.

Examples I can name off the top of my head:

Fall Out Boy actually has a couple decent songs.
Jimmy Eat World. I only liked one record enough to buy, but they've got some decent material otherwise.
Coheed and Cambria: Though many people don't call them emo, including a lot of emo fans (Partially due to being talented, I assume), they are probably the only band in the emo genre I can listen to on a regular basis.

Actually, like a lot of rap, a lot of metal/industrial, and a lot of goth, emo gets better if you just ignore the little pussies whining about whatever worthless shit they think is important. Nine Inch Nails, for example, often features lyrics which are fucking GAYTARDED. Doesn't make them a bad act.

Though comparing NiN to emo seems a bit absurd, as Trent tends to actually surround himself with people who can play without sounding like shit, but there are some decent acts. Especially if you drown out the pussy lyrics, and listen for the guitarists/bassists/drummers who will be awesome once they hit puberty and join a real band. ;)

Now, if that isn't a backhanded compliment, I don't know what it.
