Brand New/TBS/Manchester's Genre

[kolby182]

I was telling a friend of mine he should listen to these bands and he asked the dreaded "What kind of genre do they fall under"? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Bobcat46308]

Rock

[jjjkman]

i wouldn't really throw taking back sunday into the same genre as the other two. brand new and manchester orchestra have a bit of an indie vibe, while tbs is more heavy pop punk, more comparable to brand new's earlier stuff.

[Indoor Living]

Yeah, I agree with rock, even though, at times in the past, Manchester reminds me more of indie. Brand New and TBS are definitely rock. Why are you suggesting TBS to a friend? That's just mean.

haha he was already a fan of taking back sunday so i brought up BN and MO so he can hear what better music sounds like. TBS was just a part of the conversation.

p.s. love the avatar. Saw Good Old War with Straylight Run a few weeks ago and i am really digging their album.

Ha. New Again is so, sooo bad.

[jgord88]

I don't consider emo as a genre.

[yellowhouse]

How about, who cares? This is a dumb poll. Tell your friend he shouldn't write off a band just because they fall into a certain genre.

calm down cool guy. he wasn't trying to write anyone off, he simply said "what genre would you throw them in?"

[Piss]

Taking Back Sunday - Alternative Rock
Brand New - Indie/Rock
Manchester Orchestra - Indie Rock

[I am Mick]

Brand New: Overrated, shitty rock filled with pretension
Manchester Orchestra: Awesome indie rock

In the words of my traditional Filipino mother: "It sounds like white people music. Turn it down!"

[ZzyzxScarecrow]

I don't consider emo as a genre.

it used to be.

[flks511]

The name of a genre is meaningless, it's just a label and doesn't really accurately describe a band's music.

[jbertclassic]

Why toss all 3 into the same genre?

[Undue Noise]

I'd just stick to the broad genre of rock - that seems to cover everything.

[Christrings]

melodic punk/hardcore? I don't really care about genres tbh.

Wut

[IWasaCamera]

Rock of the whiny variety.

[whalesandgravy]

tbs does not agree with the other two

[Brand-new-123]

TBS=radiorock
BN & MO=Alternativeemotionalpostpunkindi e

[polarbearsummer]

Alternative & Punk.

[VIVALAMATT]

They are NOT alternative rock.

TBS, well, ive always considered them screamo.

[petethemeat]

Brand New: Overrated, shitty rock filled with pretension
Manchester Orchestra: Awesome indie rock

i dont think this guy likes brand new.

[MattRM]

TBS, well, ive always considered them screamo.
Have you ever actually listened to TBS?

[Brand-new-123]

Have you ever actually listened to TBS?
haha this.

[jawstheme]

What a dumb poll.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Alternative rock would cover them all, I guess. Pop/rock for TBS. Indie rock for MO.

[Neo Cassady]

You should tell him they fall under the genre of stop being a dick and just listen to it.

[qwertyboy5000]

Post-punk

[kdefrisc]

yeah, the thing is i've always used genres as a way to organize music for myself, so that if i wanted to make a mix with a certain sound or feel i could go to certain genres, so it seems silly to me for him/you to ask other people what their opinion is on the genre. that being said i have MO as indie rock, BN as alternative and TBS as pop rock

[futilespider]

early brand new and taking back sunday are an emo pop punk type thing. lol.

manchester and new brand new are indie emo.

just my way of saying it, doesnt really matter...everyone has different names for the genres, just be really broad and tell the kid they are rock bands. haha.

[HopeInLove]

Ha. New Again is so, sooo bad.

It's not that bad. It grew on me to the point that almost half the songs are listenable.

[Machu505]

These bands aren't in the same genre...

[blinkme]

i use the term 'alternative' when describing pretty much every band i'm into.

[fearthesloths]

emo shouldn't be allowed to be used anymore. the meaning of it has totally been lost and it is just a useless word now.

[fueledbyvictory]

Alternative & Punk.

Lol, iTunes.

[Indoor Living]

I can listen to Sink Into Me. The rest, I'll pass.

To each their own though.

[SethGrandpa]

Well figuring I don't consider these three bands in the same genre, and none of Brand New's albums I'd consider in the same genre, I find it kind of pointless to try.

[Mens]

Are you kidding me?? Emo.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Crunxxx

[Hull]

I voted alternative, although I don't think TBS is in the same genre as Brand New or Manchester.

[tom_q]

Indiemo.
