do you not think it would be more efficant to just ignore emo if it bugs you that much?

top five emo cliches:
1. during and interlude or breakdown, the singer will start reciting really bad poetry. probably something they wrote in their "journal" their freshman year of high school when their girlfriend left them for the high school jock. too bad most of these losers are pushing 25. get over it, that was almost ten years ago!!!
2. the "guitar player" will start yelling back up vocals during inappropriate times of the "songs", not unlike a small retarded child at a dinner party
3. everyone in the band must have the same, dr spock emulating, haircut. members have been known to get fired for cutting their hair.
4. you must wear a wrist band on at least one arm. ironically, this trend was started to mock 80's hair/metal bands, however, emo will probably wind up being as hated and as laughed at as the hair bands in the very near future.
5. your band must break up before releasing your major label debut. this will get those stupid kids thinking that this will be your last album, and they'll buy it along with the 50 side projects each band member has going. what they don't realise is that the band will reunite in 2 years duping all their loyal fans into buying their other recordings that would never sell otherwise.

If those shirts simply said "Emo sucks Dick" i would have bought them, but no, they have to be big and retarded sentences with pictures of homosexual sex...
Wow. This thread is so cliche. This guy has such a distorted view of Emo. Just stop posting now man.

you can call me an idiot all you want, but until you kids stop listening to emo, you will always take the cake and be the dumbest people alive.
80's hair bands vs Emo bands
1. 80's hair bands used aquanet to tease up their hair. emo bands use bed head products to achieve a bed head look they could easily achieve by not combing their hair.
advantage: eighties band
2. 80's singers sing in a high, glass shattering pitch that is pretentious and unnecessary. Emo singers sing in a whiny, shouting voice that emulates a 5 year old at toys r us who didn't get the playstation game they wanted
advantage: push
3. 80's bands wore tight spandex. Emo bands wear tight slacks and jeans.
advantage: push
4. 80's bands had a predominantly attractive female fan base that went to every show and did naughty acts backstage. emo bands have a predominantly overweight female fanbase that goes to every show and eats all the catering backstage.
advantage: 80's hair band
5. 80's bands always have an annoyingly over dramatic guitar solo in the middle of each song. Emo bands always have an annoyingly over-dramatic poetry ranting in the middle of each song.
advantage: emo bands
6. 80's band drug of choice: cocaine
Emo band's drug of choice: Red Bull
advantage: push
in a close race, both genres of music prove how shockingly similar they are. But 80's hair bands come out on top with a final score of 2:1
give it up, the game is over, buy the shirt (http://www.cafepress.com/hatersclub)

Gee you know soo much about emo, don't you. :rolleyes:
First, you lose all credibility because you're trying to sell something.
Ok, now I go into a brief tirade. You're resorting to cliches to point out cliches. Give Nick Bakay his gimmick back, he needs the work. You do realize that you're not really a punk? You're selling fucking tees for $16. You are fucking Hot Topic. You are bastardizing an ethic to profit. I would rather sit through thousands of hours of the not really emo bands you rip than spend one minute with a greedy prick. You're the type of person who must be stopped.
Please, don't ban this prick or even change his links on him.

1. i never claimed to be a punk
2. the website you choose to post on, sells things and accepts money from bands in exchange for advertising and write-ups. i, sell t-shirts. at least i'm selling a product that doesn't pretend to be artistic or to have integrity, unlike SOME of the bands and labels that are promoted on this site. the punk ideals you blindly embrace are dead and buried. btw, i don't hate emo. i hate the cliche bands that represent emo in the mainstream. my shirts are a shot at them. not the bands that try to make real music and have a real impact on people...i know, who am i to judge, right? you got me there, but its human nature to judge things people don't understand. fuck me for trying to make a buck off it

and if ya wanted to sell the tees, fine, you dont also have to post such annoying useless "jokes" about emo that arent even funny. meow.

Tate runs the site at cost. Bands know that advertising with him helps them, and it keeps the site running. If the site stays up, they get more attention. If you knew me at all you wouldn't claim I'm blindly adhering to punk ideals. Look below my name, it says indie boy. I don't like most of the bands promoted here. I choose to post here because of the people. Hell, I don't even go through the main page anymore.
I have a friend that likes the sorts of bands you're satirizing, I make her use air quotes when she says emo. Face it, it's a buzz word, and journalists are eager to attach it to everything. Most bands deny the label, but it's hard to shake.
My main problem was that you came here specifically to sell something. I'm not down with that. Fine, you don't like that music. That's fine by me, and I'll defend you're right to say shit about it. However, I'm not going to back you up when you keep posting the damn link to your store.

Ignore the general response. This board is quick to jump on something without thinking about it much. The rational complaint has to do with you trying to sell us something. But seriously, the jokes were kind of lame and very last summer.

truly why does everyone classify music, i just listen to what i think is good music, i dont care if they are punk, rock, emo, showtunes, whatever, it doesnt really matter to me as long as it sounds good and i like the music. and i think breaking down takes away the beauty of the music, leave the music classified as music, and dont just label yourself or your music, no need for it.

hmm, and lets see... what about punk?
people who think they're punk but arent (posers), spike their hair, wear chains/studs/straps ect, have at least one dead kennedy's shirt, and listen to Crass because they think it's cool to belive in anarchy.
every music group has pouser cliches, open your eyes.
