Minor Threat definitely wasn't emo. And it's crazy to think that it came out of hardcore, but that sounds right. In my mind Fugazi will never be emo, but they definitely had a sound that didn't fit into the typical hardcore and punk scene of that time. Like I said, I think they were more progressive. They had elements of different styles of music, but they had their own edge. But I don't think I would consider them skater punk. To me that's more along the lines of bands like Bad Religion.

True, not your more 'traditional' skater punk bands like Bad Religion or 311 or Agent Orange, but that's what I listened to growing up skating haha

dashboard confessional is the ****.

Dashboard Confessional eats crusty baloon knots.


By the way...
RATM > All

Metallica, Ozzy and Black Sabbath > RATM :D i wish there were still the old school punks (SLC Punk) so they could beat the **** outta the emo kids lol

I dunno, when I was a skater I listened to Minor Threat and all that DC punk. I know it later swtched over to a lot of Pennywise and OC punk for the younger generation, 311 was never big with my crowd. Fugazi is Fugazi and they just kick ass.
IMO this whole EMO thing started when people liked the image of punk/goth but were to scared to listen to anything harder than the Smiths(I'm not calling the Smiths EMO). Then when the east coast image met the west coast pop-punk somewhere in the mid-west, they had sex and got pregnant. They tried to abort it but the operation got botched. The result was a bunch of guys with no wieners. Since they had no wieners, they got confused and put on make-up. When they went outside, everybody made fun of them so they cried all the time. Since they were physically unable to play sports, they wrote songs. One MTV executive had the unfortunate experience of birth one of these once fabled creatures and played his songs on TRL. That "shim" was the lead singer for dashboard confessional. The rest is history.

we are still around, but we're all older and would go to jail for beating up underage "eunichs". Plus, we have better things to do, like kick the crap out of each other.

Fallout Boy> all...sorry, some kids i used to work with got me into them...them and this other group call Rufio

believe or not I think I do reconize him is his name john and does he have a sister candice? I didn't really know him to well but I did know candice.

so as a 16 year old kid still in high school and having to live with these emo kids it makes me sick. I don't understand what goes through a guys head when he decides to wear girls pants.

First its thinking honda's are fast.

Now its the girls pants.

WHAT IS NEXT!?

I was born in the wrong era. :?

I think the saying goes that it used to be sex, drugs and rock n roll

now its aid's, x, and techo (or emo).

it's sad it really is...

also in other news a woman in Rockland County New York is sueing her towns police department for not having a Spanish speaking officer when she called for an emergency because she does not speak one lick of English.

Form your own opinion on that one.

whats this country coming too...

Id like to see things from your perspective, but unfortunately, I cant get my head up my ass that far ;-)

RATM > All > Audioslave

bah!!!! FOB DESTROYED a GB song on the new tony hawk game. Since GB>poop>FOB I have to disagree. Plus, in their video with the 1/2 deer kid, the lead singer looks like a retarded Bobby Budnik(Former Salute Your Shorts watchers, back me up on this).

Im not seing Bobby Budnick 100%, but Im going to agree with the retarted look going. It has to do with the weezer style thick brim glasses, and the really strange hair-dues.

This years fad I predict will continue w/ the Growing Up Gotti style & Emo, rap crap is out.

dare I say I ALMOST miss boy bands, wait, I do...the lines were clearly defined in those days.

i happen to like emo music. i apologize i havent quite gotten into that satanic hate music. dashboard confessional has amazing lyrics as does fall out boy. dashboard > fall out boy. lifehouse and coldplay > all. nuff said

but arm you a crying homo? no? then it's all good.

and i dont wear womens clothing... yet

yup, thats him. Candice turned into a real bitch soon as she turned 14 (I'm guessing you knew them when they lived in clifton and she was in 5th or 6th grade?)

All this emo ****, I'm glad I graduated when I did. It was only a few years ago, but when I was in hs the rap scene hadn't hit all that hard yet, people still spoke english in my high school and there was no such thing as emo. Not so much anymore.

I can deal with thug gangstaz... but I have a zero tolerance with emos. I just want to punch them in the face, plain and simple :-D

Cant ****ing speak english, get the **** outta of here. u came here, we dont have to comform to u in our home land, we ****ing comform to ur **** when were over there. :evil: i shall end ther ebe4 i get banned

i like fall out boy... but not the rest

rockland county pwns all

hmmm...did Silent Bob dress like this too at some point?

yeah, when he was all hopped up on heroin! :lol:

The closest thing to emo music that i can listen to is poison the well, but even that gets old after a lil bit cuz its song after song about lost loves and bitching about it. Before fall out boy got big, they had a huge HC following, and rufio is in that too....dashboard and lifehouse, o man, listen to some super joint or norma jean, let those testicles decend brotha!

j/k though, what someone thinks is good music and is willing to stand by it, i respect that.

Jeez.... I'm old.

I didn't know what an "EMO" was...... I put them in the huge category of FREAKS!
