lol I didn't know anyone else had heard of Pain. They are more nerd rock IMHO, good stuff none the less.

Are The Shins emo?

 

[Zugzwang152]

is The Used emo?

 

[mpitts]

Uhm, when did Lagwagon start getting classified as "emo"?

They are a pretty staight-forward punk rock band. Definitely not emo.

 

[johneetrash]

you see where classifying bands becomes a problem?

i wouldnt call the used 'emo' but then again i wouldnt know what to classify them as.

i just say rock.

older stuff is always cooler than newer stuff.. take alot at that that poser count chocula.. he went from detroit-post-modern-retropunk , sold out, lost the cape, and turned into pre-core-70s-L.A.-hip-emospective-foundational-pop... total sell out.

They're local

So is Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, Sunny Day, and all the other good bands in this genre.

I don't care for emo but I would suggest listening to some at the drive in. A lot of energy to their music. Thrice has some really good guitar playing too.

 

[johneetrash]

in about 2-3 months, people will be calling them (thrice) sellouts, so dont like them for too long

Chocula was always cool in my book, I caught him on his final tour (1985?) with the synth pop trio boo-berry's opening. Ah, memories...

Emo pisses me off. If you want some real emotional music, listen to Stabbing Westward.

Soft, mygirlfriendjustbrokeupwithmeandIcantstopbitchingaboutit-lyrics do NOT compliment "hard" music. They are not meant to go hand in hand. Those bands are boy bands in disguise!

And what's up with their voice? The male lead singers sound as if they've been neutered.

I don't know any emo bands out right now, but back in the day.. I liked

Rites of Spring
Indian Summer


(and kinda emo)
Heroin
Antioch Arrow
Nation of Ulysses
Moss Icon
Unwound
J Church
Shudder to Think
Delta 72
The Make Up
