Emo... boring..

[Ailo]

What do you thing will happen to emo?
I think they got their little movement that is gonna die out really soon, just like the hippies back in the day!:D

[unholy_steve]

i don't think you can really call emo a movement.

[Ailo]

i don't think you can really call emo a movement.

oh yeah, sorry :p
how about annoying shitheads.. better?

[x_punksrawks_X]

Nope. Just as stupid.

where does all of the hate for emo kids come from?

[Ailo]

where does all of the hate for emo kids come from?

I dont know.. i just dont like poser kids who think their lifes is so fucking horrible.. wake up and look around.. there are fucking kids starving to death.. and emos talk about being hurt.. they need to stop their whining.. they got nothing to cry about!

[punks-n-skaters182]

ye i fucking agree with you on that one dude

[Lady Marina]

I just think I'm gonna start an emo out-reach program. Just do exactly that and give them a hug. But I don't hate them. They amuse me to no end.

[Nips]

christ all fucking mighty, complaining about emos has to be even more cliche than the emo kids themselves. i mean come on, who gives a flying fuck!?

why not complain about the superficial, materialistic hip-hop scene and how it fuels lame ass commercialism. that iritates me way more than a bunch of gloomy kids with acne.

[ChrisJones]

Start a thread on that then...I'll be there.

[Nips]

i'm afraid it only irritates me enough for the one post.

however, it does make me think of a better topic, which i shall make.

[Joe Kersten]

Emo is just a fashion trend that got popularized by a bunch of shitty bands a few years ago. It's just like grunge, and hair metal before that. It probably had a small little scene somewhere and some media guy thought, "hey, I could make some money off of this!" Trust me, it's on life support, pretty soon you'll see less and less of it until somewhere around 2020 and then you'll see it on VH1 Classics.

They are rockstars.

They are rockstars.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm getting at, it's just the "cool" thing at the moment. They'll lose intrest when those rockstars start to stumble.

they will become rich and fat like the hippies and form "supergroups"

[Joe Kersten]

they will become rich and fat like the hippies and form "supergroups"

Oh god, I hadn't even considered that! I can't even begin to imagine that, fat emo supergroups. They'll even have dating shows on VH1, oh crap! You can't hardly get away from the shits!

[x_punksrawks_X]

I dont know.. i just dont like poser kids who think their lifes is so fucking horrible.. wake up and look around.. there are fucking kids starving to death.. and emos talk about being hurt.. they need to stop their whining.. they got nothing to cry about!Why not use your hair gel money on food instead?

[bunniegraves]

i hate people who complain about music genres being annoying. who fucking cares? dont like it? put something else on. isnt whining about music a little "emo" as well?

[ChrisJones]

being open minded doesnt mean you have to like everything you see

[PROGNOSIS NEGATIVE]

emo is just a marketing tool, just like metal, grunge, rock , country, and punk

[ChrisJones]

emo is just a marketing tool, just like metal, grunge, rock , country, and punk

as are racism, sexism, fear, ego, and greed

[bunniegraves]

no, it doesnt. but if you dont like something you can choose not to give time to it. i can understand not liking a certain type of music but that doesnt mean you have to talk shit on people who do like it.

[Joe Kersten]

You're right, and I don't. I think the problem here is that everyone gets frustraited because whenever you turn on the music channel, be it VH1 or MTV or whatever as far a rock is concerned that is all you get. I never watch those, I don't care for them, but I use to go out with a girl who did watch them. I remember one day with her I think I saw the same damn Panic At The Disco vid like five times in an hour! It just wears on people, you can't seem to avoid it, and nothing you like gets air time. I'm seventeen and I watch VH1 Classics, because at least there you can see a Clash, Stooges, or whatever video. Thank god for YouTube, otherwise I wouldn't get to see shit!

YEA, mtv AND vh1 are a waste of time as far as music is concerned. its all hip hop or poppy punk crap. thats why i just buy music video collections of the stuff i like. im actually really into those random compilation CD's you find at the ass-end of the music shop, or hidden in the links of itunes. it exposes me to a lot of stuff i wouldnt have known existed otherwise.

[Ailo]

if you dont care, then you shouldt answer on this Thread:)
I made this just cause i was bored... i dont really give a fuck what the others of you think.. i have my own mind and my own opinions.

good point! if youre a so called open minded person you cant be a ''punk'' cause you cant hate the government(or whatever punk is about).. haha what a stupid foul rule

infact i dont use hairgel.. i use gelatin.. fucker!

I do go look for things and buy it as well. But I don't live in and area that's not particularly good for music, the record shops are very thin in content. I spent the entire day a while back trying to find ANY Johnny Thunders material. Not a thing, I check record stores, thirft shops, nothing. And being seventeen, short on money, and without a credit card the ebay can be difficult. So yeah, I honestly see your point, but the emo thing does wear on me after a while, even if I do turn the channel.

do you have a bank account? you could do a debit card if so.

its sad to see the record stores dying out these days. we used to have a bunch, but online buying has become too popular i guess.

[bunniegraves]

Oh shoot, I hadn't thought of that. I don't have one at the moment, I'm kinda in the process of moving out of mums flat, I don't graduate high school till spring. But yeah thanks for that, I guess that gives me incentive to get down to that bank. And as far as record stores go, it's very sad. I use to go to this place that had everything, even vinyl, but they went under and know I think it's a flooring vendor. Isn't that ironic, vinyl records to vinyl floors!

[Ailo]

uhmmm.....what?

i was just answering to chris' quote.. ''being opend minded doesnt mean you have to like everything'' or whatever

theres only one or two places left around me like that, Bionic Records and Black Cat Vinyl. both have obscure and mainstream stuff, but every time i go its pretty dead as far as customers. i hope its just me tending to show up at a slow time :(

Yeah I was sort pissed when mine left, there was a guitar shop in the back, and they put a moving away notice on the door. So I went to the new location only to find out they hadn't brought the record store along with it. There did just happen to be a Best Buy across the street, that only added to my hate of big super stores! It really suck when you have to go to a discount store to find your music.

[jonhomeowner]

What do you thing will happen to emo?
I think they got their little movement that is gonna die out really soon, just like the hippies back in the day!:D
The hippie movement never died out, it just got smaller, just like the punk movement. Both have resurgances now and again both in the music and the sub-culture that follows it. Emo may or may not end up the same way.

And why would you be happy about it?

[jonhomeowner]

I dont know.. i just dont like poser kids who think their lifes is so fucking horrible..
How are they posers? They're not posing as punk... They're emo. If you say "poser kids" about emo, that implies there are real emo kids, too. And since you have not distinguished between the two groups, I must ask: Why do you hate real emo kids?

wake up and look around.. there are fucking kids starving to death.. and emos talk about being hurt.. they need to stop their whining.. they got nothing to cry about!
Some of them have serious mental and emotional issues, while others do it for attention. It's hard to distinguish between the two at first glance. Just because someone is a rich white kid doesn't mean everything in their life is good and they have nothing to complain about.

p.s. I'm kind-of disappointed that I caught this thread so late in the game.

Emo isn't a fashion trend - it's a sub-style of music.

From Wikipedia:
Starting in the mid-1990s, the term emo began to refer to the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi, which itself was an offshoot of the first wave of emo. Bands including Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas Is the Reason had a more indie rock style of emo, more melodic and less chaotic. The so-called "indie emo" scene survived until the late 1990s, as many of the bands either disbanded or shifted to mainstream styles. As the remaining indie emo bands entered the mainstream, newer bands began to emulate the mainstream style. As a result, the term "emo" became a vaguely defined identifier rather than a specific genre of music.

Thanks, done.

[jonhomeowner]

Why not use your hair gel money on food instead?
Yeah, with all of that money he spends on hair products, he could feed some homeless people, I bet.

[jonhomeowner]

blow me dickhead!
I see, you hold double-standards, eh? You complain that emo kids cry too much when there are people starving out there, but it's more important for your hair to look cool than to help the homeless? I see! It all makes so much sense now.

You are all about image, just like they are. HILARIOUS!

I think that ties in with my point, alot of the emo kids don't listen to Fugazi, or even have heard of them for that matter. They like the look, that's their thing, and I have no problem with that. But what I'm trying to say is that whenever people start to focus more on the apperance that the content thats when the fashion aspect really starts to set in and the music becomes secondary. I honestly believe that some day bands like MCR will just be a distant memory alot like alot of the cookie-cutter bands that have come from so many other genres. Like how glam rock got hijacked from it's roots a few short years after the New York Dolls split and Bowie started to go in a new direction

some emos may have a reasonable reason to call themselves emo, i got nothing against those..
Are you telling me that these ''everyday emo kids'' are doing somthing, or have done somthing thats makes them emo? besides just doing what everyone else do? dont think so.. and i dont like them, so there you go.

[Ailo]

I hope English is Ailo's second language.

yes i didnt pay much attention in school, sorry.

yeah you have no idea. 1 Dollar for gelatin in my hair (wich i dont fix every day, more like once a mounth or so).. yeah that costs much

[x_punksrawks_X]

1dollar*12=12Dollars. Enough to feed a poor african family for a whole year.

[jonhomeowner]

yeah you have no idea. 1 Dollar for gelatin in my hair (wich i dont fix every day, more like once a mounth or so).. yeah that costs much
Well, if you got all of your friends together that used that stuff in their hair, you could all spend the money on feeding a homeless person every month!

[Ailo]

oh yeah.. my mohawk makes me a poser, right.. Do i have a mohawk cause that makes me a ''punk''? no! I have it cause alllot of ladies think its sexy, more correct. And i like that haircut.. In your eyes i guess thats wrong aswell.

[DEVIN 75]

Division within any subculture creates weakness condemning any creation to falter.

The emo genre I could personally care as much as I do about the psychobilly genre.

Translation: I don't care.

People are people and if they are civil to me I will treat them with the same respect even if they are emo.

The term emo to me is a derivative distant shadow of the new wave kids. Do any of these labels even matter anymore.

Someone please go find the old 45 single track by the band The Wall-Uniform

...Buy a new one when the old ones worn, everybody in here needs a uniform... (If memory serves)

Fuck you!
So do only poser women like guys with mohawks? You sure know allot about women, right. Im done with the mohawk conv. I made my point, you cant handle people with mohawks and thats fine. i dont give a shit what you think anyway

I do. Hell, among my friends, I'm considered "one of the girls".

Im done with the mohawk conv.
Apparently, that's why you're still replying.

I made my point
Which wasn't a very good one.

you cant handle people with mohawks and thats fine.
No, I just think they're indicative of a "poser".

i dont give a shit what you think anyway

Quoted for truth.

[Jeff]

Emo's are easy targets. Picking on them is like the bully picking on the little kid. Go insult a Toby Keith fan instead and see how far you'd get.

[The Casualties rule]

I'm safely assuming most of them don't even know what real emo is anyways. Not to say real emo is all that much better, but still. I'm more than sure all you'd get is a room full of ape-like morons scratching their heads in confusion if you brought up the name Moss Icon.

[Spiralz]

Since this conversation has appeared to digress from the original point I will do as well. Personally what pisses me off is how certain idiots lump emo kids and people really suffering from mental illness together. I'm sure there are emo kids that are depressed and suffering from mental illness, but don't make emo and mental illness synonymous with one another.

[ChrisJones]

Punk rockers will always more emotional issues than EMO kids.
