Don't you love "emo rap"?

[Joel Fennie]

Spin Magazine (http://www.spinmagazine.com) has a pretty nice article in their newest issue about "Emo Rap". It talks about Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Sole, Busdriver, Dose One, Buck65 and others. It's available on newstands now. (It's the one with the singers from The Darkness, Thursday, Distillers and Interpol on the cover)

i fucking hate that name even more that 'emo' but, even as a hardcore and metal fan, atmosphere owns

buy that record!

[Sway]

That...is by FAR the STUPIDEST name for a genre I have ever heard.

I'm almost embarassed to just have read it. Those poor bastards don't even know what's going on there.

"emo". It doesn't mean ANYTHING anymore. So stupid. I'm sorry but 4 years ago emo was reserved for Mineral, Texas is the Reason, and maybe the Get Up Kids. Shit like that.

Now people are like...oh..wow. It's ALL emo. It's turned into the titled of a scene instead of a small type of music.

Lame.

[Sway]

yeah i realize half my rant had nothing to do with emo rap, but..whatever. LOL. I got distracted.

[Joel Fennie]

I agree most definitely, I think the name "emo rap" is pretty lameo. I've never really thought Spin was the brightest of all magazines...but then again, I hardly ever read it, that article just caught my eye.

I much prefer the term "indie hop"

[Coronary Parasite]

sway you are increasingly becoming my favorite person on here....

i fucking hate that name, and i feel so bad for the people who are now being called "emo rap".

all it is is honest songs not about money and drugs so it's emo?

FUCK "EMO"

i've been reading spin for a while and it's such a waste of my time. i don't know why i still read it. they used to have a foot in the underground and now they blatently rip off ap and have nothing insightful or intellegant to say.

emo rap fucking kill me...

[GAD_guy]

they mentioned some pretty good bands in here (poison the well, every time i die, thursday, against me!, funeral for a friend, the bled, straylight run, my chemical romance, head automatica)

[Coronary Parasite]

this months issue happens to be one i'm not ashamed to own...

Emo rap is the fucking stupidest name ive ever heard..i like how they call it indie-hop (hip hop on indie labels), like how atmospheres record was put out by epitaph

[InaGreendase]

That's the stupidest fucking thing i've ever heard.

hey dfsf i wanna start a name change campaign from (ugh..) "emo-rap" to indie-hop.


thank you. :smiley:


(then i'll get started on renaming "emo" heart-core)

[Joel Fennie]

indie hop has been a term i've been using for days. it suits the genre and differentiates it from "rap" or whatever you wanna call the mainstream. i think i got the term from a buck65 song, i don't remember. it's way tighter than emo rap, though.

[Coronary Parasite]

then the credit goes to you my man. sorry.


(but dfsf gets partial because that was the first time i've heard it)

[AndrewLikeFire]

regardless of genre names, Atmosphere is the hot shit.
