Subject: Emo - How many genres?

Written By: LyricBoy on 06/24/08 at 8:27 pm

I just see those two types. Emo is just like most types of music, it has a more serious type and the poppy more mainstream type. Regular emo tends to be bit harder sounding, and more depressing lyrically than some poppier emo songs with a lighter beat and lyrics.

Oh my god, why are Emo topics popping up again?  I haven't seen this much Emo topics since Donnie Darko and his strange love-hate relationship with Emo.  He hated it, but he sure loved to talk about it!

In all seriousness though, please stop.  Discuss this in one of the other topics instead.

I just never understood why ALL of these EMO topics couldn't just be discussed in ONE thread about EMO. This is what drove me crazy about the decadeology stuff. If they would have just kept it to ONE thread entitled, "decadeology".....then no one would have ever bitched about it...ya know?

Dunno how many genres but I really don't like the type of emo where the guy is always screaming and (almost) crying.  I think it's called screamo or something.

Many bands, esp those with a punkish style tend to be labeled "emo" these days.  Ex: (what a friend told me): "Wtf, you like Fall Out Boy?  How can you like such an emo band?"  Then again, the "emo" label is throw around simply because someone doesn't like the band to begin with.  I've even heard of The Flaming Lips being thought of as emo.
