death cab is not emo, but they are an awesome band





www.fourfa.com has a decent definition(excluding the post-emo thing)



Indian Summer is freaking awesome.

I wouldnt really call them emo, but yeah... their lyrics are quite emo based.

It's kinda weird because like 2 years ago emo wasnt anywhere where it is today, now its considered music of the fags and what not and for people that wear makeup. Thanks to bands like Hawthorne Heights and MCR, it has changed to a whole new genre. A genre of slitting your wrists and wanting to die.

what pisses me off is when everyone calls an acoustic rock song emo; emo is not acoustic.

Well they assume emo means emotional music.

Emo=Emotive Hardcore, as in hardcore derived from personal emotions of one's self.


Though most hardcore nowadays is about personal endeavor, at this time it was not.




www.myspace.com/malady they are broken up, but are amazing, ex pg.99 and COC

i cant deal with emo

hip hop and anything from before the 80s thats it

if your feeling like death fust listen to some of the less known pink floyd, like cirrus minor, actually generally More is pretty good like that.

Once again, comments like that dictate you don't know real emo, from pop punk. Most people in emo bands have arms free of cuts, wear normal clothes, and look like normal dudes.



And the cutting thing is lame, self injury is a part of all cultures for many millenia
