Kanavazk Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I know all or most of them suck, but still, what in your opinion is the best emo band? My current favourite is Panic At The Disco, but they don't seem so emo now so I guess I'll have to go with MCR. If Linkin Park can be considered emo then I'll go with that. EDIT: While we're on the subject how would you define an emo band? Quote [GRAMMER HAMMER!]
Stenners Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Panic At The Disco's latest album is deffinatly not 'emo' & it is suprisingly good, not great but good.... the best mainstream EMO bands have gone away from EMO ur looking at Panic and Fall Out Boy here who have gone on to bigger and better things with a more upbeat sound. For me it would have to be Gay For Johnny Depp or Paint It Black.... actually Meet Me In St.Louis are really good as well... but this proper Hardcore Emo not this radio friendly trash. Most mainstream emo is just pop punk with emotional lyrics, the same way skater punk was just pop punk with rebellious lyrics... it's essentially the same music but the vocal changed.

Friðbjörn Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 if Fugazi are emo by the original old sense of the word, I'll go with them, otherwise At the drive-in, fantastic band that Quote [broken External Image]:http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2784/lpfas08mostintelligentym8.jpg
Mikes_Shadow Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Panic! At the Disco are not real emo My Chemical Romance are not real emo. Fall Out Boy are not real emo.

Mikes_Shadow Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 What about A Faggot Inside aka AFI? Definitely not emo. All this 'emo' faggotry that everyone's obsessed with nowadays is just stupid. They shouldn't use the term 'emo'. It's insulting to the actual genre of music. All people who class themselves and their music as 'emo' should refer to themselves and their music as 'fucking stupid.'

Jeezy Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Garden Variety was pretty cool I still listen to them Quote
chaz-girl-fanatic1730760665 Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 armor for sleep (i dunno if they are but they are labled as "emo") and cute is what we aim for (who label themselfes as "emo")...i like them both though...i hate this whole label thing i mean if it's good music but is considered as "emo" i still listen to it O.o and when mcr were still kinda punk-rock they were really good i loved them but they got strange when the new album came out (but i don't think they are "emo") O___O + i don't think in flames is "emo" neither bfmv what the heck is "emo"...i mean many bands which were used to make hard, aggressive music have at least one song which is about broken love or love or about a sad topic right? ps.: emo has gotten fuckin' overrated...germany is full of little kids (11-12 year olds) who run through the city and scream "hey mate look i cut the name of the boy/girl i love in my arm i'm so emo! you heard the new song of fall out boy they're like so emo! SO COOL SO EMO!" it really gets on my nerves!

Yackiestinger Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 BFMV Isn´t emo... Yes they are..just take a look at them, poor little girl-looking guys screaming about broken love, tears, tears, tears, more tears? Oh, the world is sooo cruel.. Some people call them metalcore. Yeah, in some way they are metalcore but metalcore is mostly labeled as emo. @ chaz girl compare "The Jester Race" In flames to "A sense of bullshit" In flames. The difference is huge. I mean, the chorus is: "I feel like shit, but at least I feel something"???? Like wtf? The whole "The chosen Pessimist" is whiny emo song.. Sometimes I just can't believe that this song is developed by the same In Flames who put out great songs like "Artifacts of the black rain" or "Jotun" well if someone wants some good emo band, they can tryout Children of bodom and their new album "blooddrunk" it's so emooo Quote [broken External Image]:http://kropla.com/images/croatia_flag.gif Myspace account...yeah, les-be friends :-P

Friðbjörn Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 the chosen pessimist is decent enough, but the rest of A sense of purpose is basically emo, and crap at that it has good old metal moments but not much more than that Quote [broken External Image]:http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2784/lpfas08mostintelligentym8.jpg

Leaarrnnn things. www.fourfa.com that's the problem... people categorise the bands because they have a certain look... but they don't know about "Emo" as a music genre....or they mistake it for what it's not. not everyone...but a lot of people tend to do that Quote

Linkin_lp_park Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 emo people always deny that they are emo...their behavior says different..just for the rec. Then again, why is it ´Their behavior´? When you say that about artists, do you know how they behave in real life? Quote ιη тнє ѕιℓєη¢є σƒ тнє ∂αякηєѕѕ
Jeezy Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 emo people always deny that they are emo...their behavior says different..just for the rec. To even call a person EMO is the wrong thing to do because it's a genre of music. Am I a "Rap" or a "Hop" because I listen to Hip Hop? that's some BS Quote
Mikes_Shadow Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Lol. I agree with Jeezy. I can just imagine someone calling me avant-garde metal for some reason. Still, all of you listen to the bands I suggested!
