Emo, real emo, makes me happy. Even non-emo bands that have emo-style lyrics (like Jimmy Eat World post Clarity) make me happy.

What gets labelled as "emo" now adays is just dumb in the lyrical department.

Speaking of Jimmy Eat World, apparently they recently put out a new album, and I had no idea!

I like Jimmy Eats World, they're a good band.

They're quite Indie. Here's one of their songs. Not even over 1K views.

I never was exactly sure what emo music was. I'm fully aware of what it isn't, but that's about it.

Early Emo like Rights of Spring was basically more melodic 80's punk with emotional confessional lyrics. It's changed since then, but still sounds like punk with confessional lyrics. It's just that punk has changed too.

It really depends on how pure you want your genres to be. Post-clarity Jimmy Eat World for example could still be considered Emo if you think Emo is mostly about the lyrical content, since Jimmy Eat World's lyrical style hasn't changed since their emo days.

im totally music genre impaired. i know what emotions i feel when i hear a song and what the lyrics mean and whether or not i like it and thats all i really care about.

Somebody actually asked, we don't need someone to say "I don't care" every single time the topic of genres comes up

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Nov 20, 2010 12:40 am

just my opinion. :c

Duh, but it's rather irrelevant when someone actually broaches the topic of genre willingly and is interested in knowing about a genre definition.

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Sat Nov 20, 2010 1:05 am

Genre, to me, is not important. If I like the song, I like the song, period.
I did not know that about the emo genre, though. That was pretty interesting.

(also it really isn't relevant, trust me. at the very least it doesn't contribute anything to said discussion.)

You know, your posts where you just say that you're listening to some artist a lot.

Oh yeah, I remember now.

It is relevant to the topic >_>

I was debating on whether to put "Not that those posts are a bad thing" in the last post but I decided not to because I assumed you would understand. Welp

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Nov 20, 2010 9:03 pm

anybody got some, like, energetic punk rock?

Good enough?

omg i was lookin for that song the other day!
isnt the power of sleet just awesome?!

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Nov 20, 2010 11:16 pm

Sunburst found this the other day and showed it to me, and I thought it was pretty much the coolest thing ever. It's one thing to mix genres, but another thing entirely to mix super-broad genres and still sound awesome.

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Nov 20, 2010 11:17 pm

One of my favorite game themes of all time.

Proof that black music is this thread's Kryptonite: No posts for more than a day after someone asks for funk rec's

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Tue Nov 23, 2010 6:33 am

Not really proof, just coincidental.

The fact that you also provided no links may have something to do with it, internet people are lazy.
