What is an EMO?

[New2WDW]

Well I am a child of the 80's so my words of choice have always been "radical" and "narley".

:lol: I have a hard time seeing those words come out of that little green guys mouth.

ooooooo.....radical it is! That is narley young Skywalker! :lol:

How's it going down there Truss-man?

Well, I am at my office if that gives you any clue.:lol:

People that don't know me refer to me as Emo because of my glasses. It gets annoying fast, because for one I am possibly one of the happiest people you can meet, and two because even when I am sad, I never whine or mope about it. Plus, how the heck can glasses be Emo? the whole thing is confusing, really.

Sorry to say I still use "cool" and "neat".
Does anyone remember "sharp"?

Well, they're punk and they're music sucks (Well, they used to make some good songs like Time of Your Life)

I still consider that one of their "newer" songs.

I must be getting old

I remember using "Sike" a lot. I still do! :lol:

 

[tigsmom]

This thread is making me feel old... I remember when things were "cool" and "neat".

Sigh! :hammer:

And groovy :lookaroun

It's at least 6 or 7 years old, if not more. But it's completely different from their horrible excuse for music that are the songs on their American Idiot album. They just get on my nerves when I hear them.

Welcome to the "other" tangent in this thread! Thread drift converging... That you don't see as much :lookaroun

[I just brought in the third tangent with the shifty-eye smiley :sohappy:]

:lol:

Green Day was big when I was in high school... as was Nirvana. It was a very flannelly time.

To be honest I never thought Green Day would be around this long. I think we all assumed there was an OD somewhere just around the corner. I am happy to be proven wrong

And I thought I was the only one.

We used "Like, totally" and "awesome!" waaayyy too much in my day, but like, you know, that was like, totally part of like, being an awesome val and stuff...


:lookaroun


Btw, in my day, "punk" was Ramones and S*x Pistols...what constitutes "punk" these days?

BTW, that emosong is kinda NSFW.

Those are still punk influences, though I don't really like them. Some big punk bands are Pennywise, Rancid, Bad Religion and NOFX. Then you have other genres that came from 70's and 80's punk, like Ska and Hardcore.

Well, they're punk and they're music sucks (Well, they used to make some good songs like Time of Your Life), which isn't far off from emo. I was thinking of Simple Plan, but I get all of those popular crappy bands confused.

They are more like pop punk now. They used to be punk (Time of your life would be a reason why they are not punk). And simple plan would be just like Green Day. A concert at a 25,000 seat arena that my 12 year old neighbor goes to is not punk.

Doesn't ska predate 70s-80s punk? By a couple of decades, I think.
