7. I'm not sure
I always get a long winded answer when I ask of the parameters of emo. Are either The Dismemberment Plan or The Paper Chase considered emo bands?

I finally got that "What Do You Want Me to Say"
single with the B-side "Crush," which is awesome.

8. I can't figure out what "emo" means.
Near as I can tell, it's what they used to call "alternative" ten years ago.

32. According to this everything is emo
Fugazi, Lifetime, Samiam, Dag Nasty, and Hot Water Music...I didn't notice Pegboy

Although I guess they are somewhat responsible for the current raft of emo crap

35. Emo, at its most basic meaning is, like the site says, emotional punk rock
Though, to quote Cedric from The Mars Volta, it's, "the most ridiculous label ever. How can anything you put your heart and soul into not be emotional?"

21. My operatives have informed me "Emo" is more of a whole "scene"...
Similar to, but, entirely different from "Goth".

Whereas, "Alternative" is a group of music "genre" which could include "Emo" along
with any number of other non-music establishment genres.

16. LOL @ urban dictionary
I clicked that link & there were a lot of negative posts about the genre. All I can say is that emo is not really a "mainstream" genre of music, so of course some people are going to hate on it and say things like "Emo is garbage pop and all it's listeners are depressed anti-social outsiders." It's like making a generalization about country music such as this "Country music listeners are all trashy hoosiers who have no teeth and beat their dogs and wives."

22. Yep.
That's the danger of those "reader-built" databases. (Like Wiki)

I can understand liking music from within a genre without buying into
the whole scene. I've done that many times in the past.

20. That's not a great source of information
Note the bias against the genre most of the writers have.

9. I think there are some on here who will tell you
"I listen to post-punk and emotional hardcore" but that is just a code word for "I am a whiny EMO LOSER"

:D

I like some Jawbreaker songs and dig Lifetime as well, although I suppose thats not what you mean lol

18. Hey! I resemble that remark!
:P

People like to rag on emo, but it's not all bad. To each his/her own, I suppose.

23. I wanted to say somethng...
But I'd probably get in trouble as it would be an inderect call-out of a poster. I do enjoy the occasional emo tune though.

I like lots of people who suck.

Just that none of them are musicians. ;)
