Sure. Take dog shyte, mix in some spinach and a bloody tampon, blend for 2 minutes on Puree then serve. Thats the audio equivelant of Emo.

its music about people who had "horrible" childhoods. they just scream about their issues, normally horrible guitarists, and horrible singers, but "it hits home" with a lot of ppl supposedly thus its popular.

i just searched "emo" on shareaza to see some artist names, Anti-flag comes up for an anti-emo song, Spitalfield has an emo song it seems, now i dont listen to emo so i dont know if these represent what all emo music is like.

Can someone list off a bunch of bands ? I don't really get a good idea of what Emo is from this thread yet, and I was wondering myself the other day.

Thanks.

I love how people are bashing emo even though they dont' even know what it is or know what bands are EMO. ok..hip to bash emo i guess?

emo bands: the get up kids, jimmy eat world, weezer (pinkerton album), dashboard confessional, saves the day, those are some of the big ones.

emo is basically sad (some say whiny) pop/punk/rock music

ok, well i did not know those were emo bands, some of the "underground" emo bands suck. weezer is good, Jimmy eat world is good.

however, i have never classified them as emo, i have heard some more recent emo songs at work, ppl i work with listen to it, and i really just cannot like it.

The reason there are a lot of BAD emo bands is cuz most of them are a bunch of teenagers who originated in someone's garage. The good ones are really awesome in my opinion. But most emo bands are INDIE not mainstream...so whatever floats your boat.

The short and simple answer is that Emo is Hardcore Punk music with sensitive and emotional lyrics. The music is epitomized by post-Grunge, edgy rock with explosive energy mixed with sensitivity. Emotional lyrics about sadness, love and even anger are common lyrical themes. There is also a subculture of young people that are considered Emo. The casual Emo garb is faded blue jeans or slightly oversized work pants accompanied by a secondhand T-shirt with an out of place logo, bad Heavy Metal tees work well too. Good shoes would be Converse Chuck Taylor low-tops or old skool low-top Vans. The more extreme clothes of choice would include horn-rimmed glasses, cardigan sweaters, dorky polo shirts, pants that are a bit too short and hair that is spiky or messy in the back with straight cut bangs.
