Ok so I know this guy and he was talking about emo music and I do not get what he is on about. What sort of bands go into this type? Is it kinda like punk? Please help me I have no idea.

www.fourfa.com for all you need to know

for the most part, it's a terrible genre. but check out some rites of spring, indian summer, kodan armada, elliott, mineral, braid.... most bands that are labelled 'emo' these days sound nothing like actualy emo

god i hate that word

Emo means emotional rock - It basically is the name given to all those angst driven bands around - but it is turning into more of a lifestyle (like indie to an extent)

jimmy eat world are too good to be emo.

refer to breaking.

Emo is nothing

Emo is not a label! how can any kind of music not be emotional...

 

[cate_7x]

Angsty emotional I mean - Like the "I hate my life" "My dad still hates me" "why is this happening to me" kinda shit.

thats more applicable to this new school radio emo trash that seems to be emerging.
