KnightofDoom Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Ah the heated debate continues... on why people need to steryotype people who listen to emo, so post your comments on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopingman Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Simple, its horrible music, and scene kids need to DIAF. Here we perfectly have NORMAL kids, whining and complaining about their lives because of the music's influence. The message is ridiculous, and I fear for music's future if this keeps up.

KnightofDoom Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 But I can easily argue.. the same message being passed on by other forms of music.. why can you so easily diss one genre when most others do the same.. How can you insult one form. when mosts others easily do the same to people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you insult one form. when mosts others easily do the same to people   Because emo music, unlike other genres, sends suicidal messages to the kids. I can't stand for that.        BTW I'm talking REAL emo music, raw emo, not the subgenres of it that have branced off. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....

KnightofDoom Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Yes because all emo is, is a bunch of suicidal people :roll:    Two real problems with that    A) You use such a steryotypical view of emo, rather than knowing anything   B) There are easily other genres of music that bring suicide into the picture.. rather than just emo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I'm a professional arguer, I'm up for it.       Emo sends bad messages, have you ever interacted with an "emo" kid? For one to say this is something to "not worry about" it simply defies all logic. After all, there IS a reason everybody hates the genre and its followers......you know.

AThousandLies Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I just find the whole music and scene to be pretentious, unoriginal and super-ficual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How2PK Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 "What came first, the music or the misery? Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"- Rob Gordon (High Fidelity)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Since it seems that you know your stuff, atleast that is what you make us believe. Would you like to put up some "Emo" songs that are different then the songs we know? Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

assassin_696 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 "An excuse for wannabe goths to be depressive"...meh i don't like the music for a start, and the suicidal messages it sends out shouldn't be targeted at an audience, they should be discovered by those who want to be discovered.

Sunwarriord Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Emo just sucks. Its just a bunch of kids who want attention and say they'll kill themselves. Music sucks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPurpleCrayon Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 It is awful music. I'm not really sure how some people can make their living by crying into a microphone but it sure has worked.       Plus.... I hate the "scene" and everything about it. If I see one more girl walking around with split bangs and bracelets, I might start cutting myself. :lol: Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

knives669 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Emo music itself just sucks. Period. I don't much care for the musical style. I have alot of friends that listen to emo. Do I hate them? No. I just won't ride in their car with them because they're always listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruffy5389 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 but come on noone likes emos except emos   ...and no one likes rock except rockers.

But then again, we should hate all these other genres because they are also a bad influence...       A lot of Metallica songs sound suicidal, like Fade to Black, Nothing Else Matters   Champagne Supernova - Oasis, encourages alcohol abuse   Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - The Beatles, need I say more?   Myles Davis (jazz trumpet player) was a heroin addict...   Kurt Cobain actually committed suicide...       What kind of music do you listen to anyway, Poopingman?       And btw, how much does it pay being a proffessional arguer?

MyPurpleCrayon Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah, emo is a bad influence and we should hate it. But then again, we should hate all these other genres because they are also a bad influence...Yes we should actually. Maybe not the genre but the bands that send bad messages... It's just that most of the "Emotional Rock" bands sing a lot about suicide just like most "Rap" singers talk about cars, jewelrey, money, etc.       A lot of Metallica songs sound suicidal, like Fade to Black, Nothing Else Matters   Champagne Supernova - Oasis, encourages alcohol abuse   Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - The Beatles, need I say more? This has never ever been pointed out before. Like we didn't know?    Myles Davis (jazz trumpet player) was a heroin addict...   Kurt Cobain actually committed suicide... Kurt Cobain was an idiot and he was in one of the worst bands ever... IMHO        What kind of music do you listen to anyway, Poopingman? Anything beats Emotional Rock...        And btw, how much does it pay being a proffessional arguer? :roll: Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

AThousandLies Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It's stupid to say it encourages behaviour. If someone is vulnerable, stupid and impulsive enough to act on something presented in a song as an EXPRESSION, not conviction, then they need help.       I'm not defending emo here; I'm really not a fan of it. But it's stupid to claim that it encourages negative behaviour, and use that as an excuse for disliking it.       So, tell me, MyPurpleCrayon ... what bands do you listen to?

Howie101 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 its just all oppinions...of which some peoples are better       some emo is good..if it has a good bass and drums and not whining singing but i geuss that defeats the purpose...but some is good.definately close to the middle upper half of the genres i like...i like all those listed by mypurplecrayon...but metal is a big hated...more than rap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothique Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Fall Out Boy is the only emo band I can almost stand listening to...   Coheed and Cambria need to die because Claudio is the worst singer/songwriter/actor ever. Not to mention his hair makes me want to vomit.   Yellowcard...*makes vomit and gagging sounds*   No, everyone who listens to emo has soemthing wrong with their taste in music. I mean WHO can stand [cabbage]ty 3 chord backgrounds with whiny vocals and drummers that (I swear it's true) sounds like they're havining epileptic seizures on the drums.
