The Emo Thread


Recommended Posts

i think we all can agree that the definition of emo has changed over the years... from "these guys actually talk about their feelings" to "these whiny guys talk about their feelings too much" to "how does one make screaming sound whiny" to bad pop-punk to tight pants and stupid haircuts...

 

that said, i think Crucial Youth's definition is still the best, "Mature" music made by cigarette-puffing ex-straightedgers. Heavy on the soul searching, hard to mosh to.

god, i can't stand Brave Bird. the singer is so high and mighty and seems to think his music is the second coming of American Football. some of the interviews/facebook posts from them are just whiny and insufferable.

His whole rant about race and racism last year was horrible. However the dude finger picks the shit out of an electric guitar while singing spot on. I respect him for that, and I just really enjoy their music.

I also rarely watch band interviews.

I don't think this has been posted yet, and I'm sorry if it has, but Patron Saint Of Bridge Burners is fantastic. Just rediscovered this last week after looking through a lot of music I haven't listened to in a couple years or so.

I also realized today that my copy of Home, Like Noplace Is There is warped. It arrived last week so I'd feel awkward asking for a replacement or something from Tiny Engines. So this will be the first time I've tried to flatten out a record.

He's wearing a Weakerthans shirt.  You have my attention.
