The Official Emo Thread

[inuewiwedem]

Use this thread to discuss the wonderful genre. Post recs, favorite bands/albums, etc.

I think various emo mixtapes would be cool to post as well. I'm always looking for more emo music, as I'm sure other people are so this would be awesome.

[The Personist]

The fake emo thread was better.

[zachff]

Off to a great start indeed. It'd be cool if the product of this thread was a list of best of genre bands or albums, but that seems unlikely

The fake emo thread was better.

Yep.

I made a mix of emo bands for the mixtape thread, I'd download that. It's just some basic bands that I feel everybody needs to know, and if you like any of them you can check out the rest of their music. I'll grab a link...

[SwiftSilentDead]

I'm kind of new to emo music but here's some albums I've checked out that I really enjoyed.

One Last Wish - 1986
Cap'n Jazz - Analphabetapolothology
Algernon Cadwallader - Some Kind of Cadwallader
Rites of Spring - End On End
Embrace - self/titled
The Promise Ring - 30 Degrees of Everywhere

They're all pretty basic but I'd recommend them.

Been meaning to give Elliot and Mineral a listen, too.

You would probably like

Mineral
Texas Is the Reason
Knapsack
Broken Hearts Are Blue
Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate)
Christie Front Drive

All great bands and pretty similar to those 6.

Everyone should check out Pop Unknown. They're kind of a pop punky emo band.

I'll get on that

[Goldylox]

I can't say that I'm a big emo fan, but if you like real, old-skool emo I'd recomend these bands:
Rites of Spring, Embrace, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Beefeater, Jawbreaker, Gray Matter, Nation of Ulysses, Shudder to Think, Void, Iron Cross, Beauty Pill, Faraquet, Antelope...etc.

[shit stroll]

lol

[inuewiwedem]

what's so funny?

[Losing Streak]

Everyone should check out Pop Unknown. They're kind of a pop punky emo band.

A couple of members of Mineral formed that band after Mineral broke up. Mineral is one of those bands that was significantly influential, but far too many people don't know who they are.

Pop Unknown hasn't been that active lately, but they've at least started playing some shows around Austin again. Texas FTW!

[love_american_style]

not much a fan of emo...

i do like some...such as...

rites of spring
nation of ulysses
fugazi
texas is the reason
mineral
hum
far

the last too are maybe a little too mainsteam for emo but still IMO have a good emo vibe.

[shit stroll]

what's so funny?
how the hell are minor threat, NOU, iron cross, void, fugazi, etc. "emo"?

[Getup and Dance]

Looks like some people read the Emo wikipedia article.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Yeah, Fugazi and Minor Threat definitely aren't emo. Not sure about those other bands because I haven't listened to them but I'll take your word for it.

[inuewiwedem]

I think people are putting Fugazi because Guy Piccioto was in Fugazi and anything with Guy or other assorted Rites Of Spring members is automatically considered emo.

I am. Brand New is my favorite band. The subject matter on TDAG gets me in a depressed sate of mind. It's awesome. Like it or not, even though they matured from YFW to Deja to TDAG, they have been consistent with writing some pretty emo lyrics. Not the typical "cut my wrists and black my eyes" bullshit, but they write depressing stuff.

Funny thing about "emo" is everyone seems to have a different opinion on what's "emo" and what isn't...that's why I'm not a fan.
Also, some people who listen to the Rites of Spring also like Minor Threat, even if they arent "emo", so that's why I recomended them.

I have heard a lot about Hey, Mercedes, but have yet to check them out. I have to get on that.

EDIT: and Brand New is emo the way Led Zeppelin is emo. They are EMOTIONAL. Emo has a specific connotation.

The only issue here i think is that emo goes beyond 'depresseding lyrics' to a definition of the genre being more heavily weighed on characteristics of song structure, instrumentation, stage performance, etc. Brand New doesn't fit the description there. They capitalize on what Grunge did (Nirvana primiarly as an example) with soft-loud songcraft, guitar and vocal heavy, and Jesse Lacey writes music with hooks. Brand New is more pop than emo.

:hitself: You need credible resources. Not a wikipedia page and Kevin Devine.

[Losing Streak]

This debate on who is and isn't "Emo" is a flashback to 2003.

In the 90's, "Emo" was used to describe bands that people had a hard time putting in one of the existing genres. This label was later changed to "Indie".

In this shitty decade it's been a 1-10 scale where Coverge was a 1 and Chris Carraba's menstrations were a 10.

I'd say the Promise Ring is the prototypical "Emo" band in both the older and newer sense.

[EastCoastLights]

morrissey was the original emo kid

[npmshah]

You can't really define "emo."
It has meant different things in different eras. Emo was originally used to describe bands like Mineral, Texas Is The Reason, Fugazi. However, as emo grew more and more popular, the mainstream music media grew dumber and dumber. By the time the next generation rolled around, the media was labelling not only bands who drew an influence from the original "emo" acts as emo, but also the acts that had a similar fashion statement to these bands. Some of these acts were lyrically more depressing than previous emo acts (where the emotional aspect focused on both happiness AND sadness), and many played poppier music, hence depressing lyrics and pop punk was now under the mainstream's umbrella term "emo". When bands like Hawthorne Heights, Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance, and Panic! At The Disco rolled around, they fit in with the expanding definition of emo.

[element4433]

Yeah, I know, we covered that allready, lol.I know. I didn't see that the thread EXPLODED!!!

[Goldylox]

To me, their songs can make me feel very emotional and sad. When I hear the word 'emo' strewn about, that's what I think about.

But the problem is that "emotional" and "emo" don't mean the same thing. "Emo" connotes a specific stylistic derivative of the hardcore punk scene and really isn't related to the "emo" that you're thinking of and that MCR fans think they're listening to. Just because it's emotional doesn't make it "emo."

no emo acts on that roster.


well Frodus was on T&N and while not emo they're not exactly far removed from the genre. and Roadside Monument, again not strictly emo, remind me of several emo bands, specifically Maxamillion Colby. also Roadside Monuments son 'sperm ridden burden' is definitly an emo song I'd say.

[PenThrive]

Benton Falls (http://www.myspace.com/bentonfalls), I like the music, but the lead singer's voice gets on my nerves.

I know Anberlin used to be with T&N, but I don't think they would be described as emo, although one music critic did.

[Goldylox]

To me, their songs can make me feel very emotional and sad. When I hear the word 'emo' strewn about, that's what I think about.

"emo" isn't short for "emotional"....or "emotionally challenged" as some ignorant people suppose, it stands for "emotive hardcore". all music is "emotional" in some way or another.

[irockyournipple]

I know Anberlin used to be with T&N, but I don't think they would be described as emo, although one music critic did.
Yeah Anberlin is definitely not emo haha

Is My Chemical Romance a legit emo band?

No. MCR is just annoying. As far as I am concerned, there are no popular emo bands other than Dashboard Confessional maybe. I don't follow MCR, but the little that I have heard, they are not emo.

I remember the frontman of Kasabian making a big deal out of it.

[Thesleepingwell]

alright! we've got the conversation going again!

So we have...

Now... the big question is, what emo band the WORST emo band?
We've worked out that MCR probably aren't really an emo band (or a legit one anyway), so they don't count.

depends what you mean by "like"....I prefer to judge music on a song-by-song basis, my favorite artists are the ones who have yet to make a song that I don't like...there's only one song that I can think of by MCR that I like, "Black Parade" -for nostalgic reasons.

I see. I only asked since MCR was brought up. I don't even know "Black Parade." The last I heard of MCR was when I heard "I'm not Okay." I think that's the title of the song.

Ok, I read the first two pages and got rather bored and uninterested. All I want is some emo. Could a prestigious user recommend around 5 to 10 iconic/defining emo albums?

(If your name isn't bold, I probably won't listen to you, not because you're inherently a horrible user, but because it's probably safest to rely on someone with a little more experience.)

I just finished listening to "Drink Deep" by the Rites of Spring, good song, and I just dowloaded "Rabble Yell" by Better Off Dead, I don't know if they're emo , but it's another good song.

I don't know what I'm looking for. I wanted some hardcore recs a while back, so I asked in the hardcore thread, and those users gave me a very nice list of bands to check out.

Lol, I don't get a rise from "prestigious user." As you said earlier, 10k+ posts does not equal level of expertise. It only means that user spends more time in ap's forums.

I completely understand where you're coming from now. I, too, would not mind if someone who has deep knowledge of this genre to offer input. I just don't get the criticism. I don't pretend to know everything. It's a discussion, and once someone with expertise offers suggestions I feel comfortable with checking out, I will hopefully find new bands.

Well, I haven't spent enough time with them to have favorites yet, but none of them didn't appeal to me. It's just a lot, and I tend to randomly be in moods for heavier music, and then not so much, so it'll take awhile to really get into all of them. Life in Your Way stuck out immediately because I had already heard "Salty Grave" from my friend, and I bought a used copy of Stretch Arm Strong's Rituals of Life. (Apparently my old youth pastor loves them, lol.)

Ha, guess that's vague. Well, I enjoy a lot of music but am truly familiar with far too little, so what are some of your favorites? We could start there. (I guess I could mention some of my random favorite bands, but I don't know what would actually help this recommendation process out.) Maybe mention some more accessible emo bands first?

(I guess I could mention some of my random favorite bands, but I don't know what would actually help this recommendation process out.) Maybe mention some more accessible emo bands first?

The reason I ask you is there's like four or five bands in that scene that everyone rips off, and many times the difference between a "good emo band" and a "bad one" is based around whether you identify with the lyrics, which may or may not be extremely shitty anyway.

I could be lazy and just say download the staples:

Saetia-A Retrospective
City of Caterpiller-s/t
Orchid- Dance Tonight Revolution Tomorrow or Gatefold/Self Titled
Mineral-The Power of Failing/ SDRE

but a lot of those are mediocre at best. I mean, I hate the Saetia record. It was one of the first i downloaded and i liked it back then, but as i got more into the music lyrics like "there is no happy here" just seemed so terrible. That's what happens. I love the shit out of orchid because they sing about foucault and situationist philosophy and encourage more fluid gender roles/sexualities, but you might not like that band because you don't relate to that ideology, you know?

So, what kind of hardcore/heavier bands are you into? Answering that question would help me out a lot better, because i could at least throw some bands your way that sound kind of like your taste and you could decide on your own which bands have terrible lyrics.

But, there are a lot of people here that got into this song, so i'll recc it as well.

True about the ideology thing. If there are any Christians in the genre that make pretty good music that isn't laughable (though maybe you find all of it laughable?), I'd be interested in that.

As for heavier bands I enjoy... Thrice is my favorite band, and As Cities Burn is also up there. I've always loved the catchiness and dual vocals of Showbread's No Sir, Nihilism is Not Practical album. (On a similar note, I do have one Blood Brothers album, Crimes, and enjoy the general sound of that album a lot.) I'm only passingly familiar with Thursday, but I've enjoyed everything I've heard of theirs. Hm... Also a fan of The Chariot, Zao (The Fear is What Keeps Us Here), mewithoutYou, and some Converge.

Ha, I have no idea if that mass of random "heavy" bands will help you help me at all, but hopefully it does.

the only christian bands (or actually they're probably just christians playing in bands, i don't know if they labeled themselves) that i can think of are Halo Perfecto, Palatka, and Mineral. Halo Perfecto and Palatka share members.

Thursday ripped off You and I pretty hard at times.

Some other bands you might like are:
The Assistant
Heroin
Hot Cross (mainly just their album Cryonics)
Antioch Arrow
The Encyclopedia of American Traitors

I could see someone who likes thrice maybe getting into some of the whole post-rock/screamo shit like envy, killie, city of caterpillar, and this band called pianos become the teeth that a lot of people here are jocking hard.

i don't know, maybe that helps.
