All the emo sh1t I've ever heard is a bunch of whiny kids trying to play gituar right. They have no skill with it. Why don't emo songs have gituar solos or anything approaching a complicated riff? All it is is power chords and strumming.

pointless post until you name the bands you think are "emo". thats definately describes none of the music i think is emo (except for the whiny part)

problem with emo is that scene kids are taking the music literally

and I'd be hard pressed to define a band 'emo' - it is more of a lifestyle than a music genre

would, say, old Jimmy Eat World be considered emo? I'd say no. Then again they call themselves rock musicians but have created songs about 'emo'tions, hmm?!

JEW - For Me This is Heaven

best song ever recorded
