Something Corporate is a great emo band. I love their song Punk Rock Princess.

Audioboxer that you linked to really sounds emo! I have North and find it to be more poppy punk, and was surprised that you had referred to anyone from Drive-Thru to be emo.

Know what I hate? Classifying yourself by what music you listen to. Your personality is who you are, not the music you listen to. Anyways most music that people love sucks.

Want some emo fun? go here

But for people who listen to a lot of music, their personality is defined by the music they listen to anyways You don't go to shows much, do you?

I listen to tons of music, and go to shows often, and am a musician. I'm just saying that most music today, and I do listen to lots of it, is trite. I sometimes do have to stop listening to modern music and listen to stuff like jazz and classical. Maybe its just the corrupt record industries encouraging bad musicians, and then the good indie musicians are so overpressured that they crack after making one album. I think I'll stop before this turns into a rant on the music industry.

Well then the variety of the music that you listen to is what keeps you at an objective position. I have found that the people who listen to the same genres of music usually have the same likes/dislikes in other aspects of life, and they also end up finding that they get along with each other and have similar personalities/attitudes/dress. Music does not define a culture or cult, it reflects in IMO. But I don't want to get into that

I just like picking on it, even if one of my favourite songwriters is on the label (Reese Roper, but you knew that).

well.. maybe you have the worst taste evar.

Start listening to the Smiths... please.
Also, Underoath does not play hardcore... I'd call them melodic at most, but they're far from being a hardcore band.

LET ME MAKE THIS VERY VERY CLEAR FOR YOU ALL:

UNDEROATH MADE SEVERAL RECORDS BEFORE 'THEY'RE ONLY CHASING ."
ONE OF THE RECORDS WAS CALLED 'ACT OF DEPRESSION.' DALLAS WAS THE SINGER. IT WAS A VERY HARDCORE ALBUM.

but seriously, either way they're good. I like all of their albums, and i love their concerts regardless if they're hardcore or not. But when they play with the Chariot on tour... oh man, you better come ready to throw down. It was awesome.

and emoboy or whatever your name is, it's not that we dislike you( or rather I dislike you) but the fact is that your music has a stereotype behind it, as does all music. For instance, if you were to like country music, I would expect you to wear cowboy boots and a 10 gallon hat wherever you went, but you most likely wouldn't. But don't be surprised when people expect you to live up to that stereotype, and more importantly don't be angry.

Oh and for the record, Tooth and Nail/Solidstate is all right, even from an atheist's point of view.

Edward, you should start a 'hardcore discussions' thread. I would rather discuss hardcore than discuss how much everyone hates emo

Hahaha man whatever, Underoath hasn't released a hardcore album.
Their old stuff at best is deemed as bad metal... and yeah, it's horrible.
Underoath does not play hardcore, simple as that.

Anyone here like The Strokes or Kings Of Leon? I love those guys especially The Strokes. I have their guitarist's signature guitar .

I'm a big KOL fan, it's hard to beat Aha Shake Heartbreak . Except for when you realized that most of their songs are about dirty sex and whores . Have you watched the video on iTunes?

It's too bad they have been touring with U2 so much, I don't want to pay $70 to go to a show, and I would be going more for KOL than U2 anyways.

And if you like The Strokes and Kings of Leon, do you like Hot Hot Heat, Interpol, and the smaller-but-still-great Weakerthans?

Yeah I've got some of interpol's stuff. I like it, it's pretty good. I haven't been listening to much music lately I've been recording a demo with the band I'm in. We are trying to be as cheap as possible so our sound room is hanging sleeping bags. The ladies think it's sexy.

How many emo kids does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
