Are LP Fans Emo?

 

I was wondering how many Linkin Park fans consider themselves as an emo or goth. Im just curious I wuld love to hear from you guys and your opions on the 'type' of people that follow LP.

[Lyson]

i dont think the peeps of LP like labels, but...most of them are something or the other.

I'm part both...

[xXMelancholiaXx]

Well I'm Goth. But I don't really think Linkin Park that type of imagery that would draw in the goth or emo crowd. I guess I could see how emos would be attracted to them because of the contents of the lyrics. Though the style of the music might be too aggressive because most emos would probably be more accustomed to listening to more poppy stuff like Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday etc. But me I'm a metalhead so Linkin Park doesn't bother me even though they aren't "true metal." But then honestly I think it would be too difficult to analyze this because everyone has different tastes in music. I mean I love metal but I like Taking Back Sunday and My Chemical Romance. I mean go figure.

lol im NOTHING. im not emo, i dont cut myself, im not goth, i dont wear black all the time or anything to associate my appearance with emo's or goth's. im just me, my own style or w/e...but i guess if you want something for me to say i am, i'd guess i'd say im NORMAL >.> lol

I think it's wrong to try to label people... LP fans are just people who dig LP music that's the only category we can all fall into.

110% agreed!

 

and no, i don't consider myself emo or goth. i get called emo by some people cuz of my hair... but thats it, and all the people who do call me emo, are losers anyway. lol.

[Weiman]

I'm asian, and i have black hair... does that make me emo?

Oh so you don't slit your wrists, grow your black hair out to your face and threaten to rip your heart into shreds if you don't listen to LP for a day?

 

Damn, I totally had the wrong opinion of you then ;_;

 

*goes back to listening to My ChemEMO Romance*

Shame on you. I'm docking cool points. My Chemical Romance isn't emo.

[Hahninator]

lol well your work shouldn't deduct emo points give them some MSI and they might change their mind

 

dude Melancholia, MCR is the most emo band I've ever heard of in my entire life. My Chemical Romance and Hawthorne Heights are probably the top 2 emo bands ever. At least Good Charlotte doesn't make crap like that

 

Please...they aren't emo at all! They're just leading a damn emo parade in their latest video for the heck of it! :thumbsup:

Hawthrone Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, My Chemical Romance, Thursday etc are all Pseudo-Emo bands that have been given the title of emo because emo scene kids like them. None of them are "true-emo." A lot of these bands are more pop/punk if anything if slight emo influences. Having sad lyrics doesn't equal emo. I mean if that was the case I could easily argue Linkin Park as emo along with hundreds of other bands. Bands have been writing emotional and sad songs forever only until the emo scene made it mainstream did everybody start slapping the emo label on everything.

 

TRUE EMO: Saves the Day, Alesana, Rites of Springs, Embrace, Fugazi.

Yeah you're right with the last few bands, but I'm telling you Hawthorne Heights, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance are all emo as hell. So is Panic at the Disco. Jimmy Eat World isn't emo, they've made quite a good number of songs and I own their CDs. Taking Back Sunday might be emo, I don't know them.

 

But I guarantee HH/FOB/MCR are hardcore emo. There's no other word for it. Psuedo-emo isn't a label lol.

Thats hilarious lol.

My mates worked over the rate for emos in Brisbane city.

I think it was 1.25 emos per second lol.

We tried counting them one day, gave up after a couple of hundred.

 

 

My Chemical Romance isn't emo.

How is MCR not emo?? Black hair, bad singing, repeatative songs.....need i say more. Like I just said to Hahninator on msn, saying MCR isnt emo is like saying big bird is a dog.

 

A general question to everyone; I thought the concept of "Emo" was to be non-conforming, yet by being Emo, isnt that just contradicting yourself, by conforming against non-conforming, considering there are shitloads of Emo's?

 

Im not against Emo, if people wanna be like that, thats fine (dont know why you would though), it just disturbs me when I go to the city with my mates, and see a group of teenage guys, in skinnys, smoking and making out with each other...

 

Anyway, back on to the thread, LP defiently isnt the emo genre. Although you can certainly be an emo and listen to LP.

[xXMelancholiaXx]

Have you listened to any of the bands I mentioned?

[Hahninator]

I take back what I said about Jimmy Eat World. They started out as emo, but by Bleed American, they were more mainstream, away from the emo genre. And that's when I started liking them.

 

I'll download some MCR songs now and see what's up.

[nkramar78]

Thats hilarious lol.

 

 

I'm too old to be classified as anything these days except overworked, tired or bored.

 

The last 'fad' (as that's the only word that I can come up with because I detest the word 'scene') that I was a part of would be the whole grunge/Nirvana/Pearl Jam thing back when I started high school.

You're looking at the imagery. That's like saying Evanescence is goth because Amy Lee dresses goth. Like I said listen to the bands I mentioned and you'll see the difference.

Evanescence IS goth honey lol

I have listened to the bands before, I have a few albums lying around (hopefully broken), there is no difference.

 

Emo used to be a good genre of music, up until this whole recent outburst of bands which have redefiened Emo. Emo used to brillant, bands like Eve 6. Didnt have the black hair, didnt need to scream, didnt wear the skinnys, didnt write songs that all sound the same, they wrote good, emotional songs, about real life situations, stuff that people could relate to and enjoy.

Evanescence isn't goth. -_- They employ gothic imagery. But they don't fit the gothic metal label or Gothic Rock. I listen to a lot of Gothic Metal/Rock and they sound nothing like Forever Slave or Beseech. That nu-metal edge keeps them from fitting into the gothic metal. Seriously though you need to listen to real emo and real gothic metal. I think you're a bit confused as to what's what. Do you think Marilyn Manson is goth too? *snickers*

[shadowfax1007]

lol, im not even gonna bother arguing anymore....

 

manson is a fucking freak anyway. he once threw a heap of puppies into the audience at one of his concerts, and refused to start until all the puppies were returned to him....dead.

[xXMelancholiaXx]

Honestly I get bored with threads like these really easily especially when they just degenerate into arguing. But I'm sick of correcting people. If you guys want to think My Chemical Romance is emo then fine. But keep in mind someone else may jump on you like I did. Hey I won't even get mad if somebody says Final Fantasy is a first person shooter. :thumbsup:
