Here Today... Gone To Hell!

The subject matter is self explanatory.

The music? Well, it's emotional hardcore, innit?

The people? Tossers.

... Nah.  ;D

Music for teenagers who specialise in self pity......

Doesn't Moby classify himself as "emo"? :hihi:

Liar!

Emo means inequitably the death alternative rock.

Gay

well said

Someone who has hair like this:

I used to do sound for a venue that was mainly for emo/punk/hardcore shit. I gotta admit they were good musicians but they had no idea about EQing their amps. It was like they would turn up every fucking knob to full. The singers would always ask me to turn the bass way down and put in alot of top end into the vocals. It sounded like shit but they loved it. And I had never seen the most unco-ordiated mosh pits till i saw these kind of bands. They would stand there and swing their arms around in circles and kick their legs out. They looked like a pack of retards in an all-in-brawl.


 :peace:

define emo?

SHIT

hope the music burns out and fades away.

Well it's Elmo, but if your a bad speller it's Emo  8)

Dont get me started on the hair. The thing thats really fucked up is that chicks go for these little girls. What the fuck is that? Wheat girl would want a malnurished, winge guts who takes better care of their hair then the Chick does?


 :peace:

You are so right about it

It's SHITTY music

I hear you brother, the birds should be wanting a REAL MAN, a man that really knows how to please that pussy. Fuck yeah. Tattoos and heavy metal, leather and beer and fights and, YEAH!

Real men.

DING DING! We have a winner.  ;D
 

I seriously can't wait until the whole emo phase is over. I am so tired of hearing "Oh my god... my boyfriend broke up with me, I can't take it anymore"

Or "Oh god, my girlfriend left me after only 3 days, it was true love, man, like for real"

 ;D

You are EMO if:

if u have hair like the guy in the picture above ^
you dress in nothing but black
the boys wear make-up and paint there nails
they scream every song
they idolise kurt cobain
hate rock n roll excess partying e.g motley, GNR

all i can think of for now.

so true

you put alot of thought into that didnt you  :hihi:

I dont know if modern emos really like kurt cobain though, none of the ones i've met do.

I know someone who looks exactly like that guy in the picture.? We call him Emo Paul. : ok:


Jim, you crack me up man!

i call it queer core :yes:

This one time I beat up some emo guy because he said GN'R sucks 8)

Nice  :smoking:

well he is the creator of the song " I hate myself and want to die "
that is the emo motto!

An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:

1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.

This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!

When she sees how sensitive and emo I have become, she'll definately go out with me!

what ever happend to rock out with ur cock out?

Sorry.  I couldnt help it.

I think you hit the nail on the head, but man, the kids of this generation are more messed up then I thought...:o

All this time I just thought it was just the bad haircuts that made them so upset, but obviously it's something much deeper... :hihi:

1st off that was one hell of a good explaination i now understand the freaks of today. 2nd you damn right on that one. This one dude i go to school with is everything emo has these gay ass gothic pants that are black and have little (pastic) chains on them, if you ask him he'll tell you they're real, but they're not. so now its almost been one semester and now he is called poser and pubes because his hair is really curly and looks like pubes. The little poser writes poems about killen himself in english, about how it "feels good to feel the warm blood run down his viens". Any way long story short this kid is the biggest poser you'd ever want to see. Total FAG.

so i call emo two things Queer core and poser metal :yes:

That's pretty funny and probably the worst pic of Axl ever.  Why did he take his shirt off at Rio??  I guess he got too excited.

Anyway, I'm surprised that ANYONE is EMO or like EMO because all I've ever heard are jokes when people talk about it.  I've never met anyone that admits to being EMO because for the most part everyone knows how fucking pathetic it is.  I think EMO music definitely has it's own sound to it.  Dashboard Confessional is an EMO band I think.  Shit like that is EMO.  I'm just doing a little surfing on the net to see what bands people would consider EMO because I don't know much about it at all and someone listed Fugazi.  I don't know about that one...

I use it to dismiss bands like my chemical romance and fall out boy.? stuff with those horrible whiny voices, i dont get how anyone could like it.

It's just bad musically, the lyrics are basic at best, vocal range is never pushed and the most the guitarists can do is wear make up and play power chords, badly.

and they all act as if they are desperate on the edge depressed suicide people whilst playing. the way they mosh is so lame.

i wouldn't call fall out boy emo, more like pop punk, and chemical romance have done everything they can to try and get rid of the emo lablel. funny thing someone called avenged sevenfold emo's!

They may not be emo, but that's what a lot of people who like classic rock label them as.  As for avenged sevenfold, they're not doing themselves any favors looking like they do if they dont want to be called emo. :no:

If Avenged Sevenfold is just being themselves and not trying to follow the trends, then who can blame them??  Everyone in the world should just be themselves. I like A7X's music a lot but they do look like poser's at times. 

maybe that's what's missing from rock, poseing with ur guitar or bass, it looked so cool back in the day and made u wanna pick up an instrument!

Emo people ruined tattoos.

there arnt great rock shows anymore.

There arnt great rock festivals either.

just look at the moscow show or something like that.

This whole emo phase is gonna be over once Chinese Democracy is out? :smoking:

theres gonna be alot of other brands of shitty music that will die when CHINESE DEMOCRACY is out :yes:

emo is............girls that slit their rists (i no its stereotypical but its true)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? boys and girls have the same hair style (ie. fringe in face)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?boys wear their 6 year old sisters trousers half way down their ass and they think it looks good on them
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? they hate the taste of alcahol (though i dont know why?)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? they pretend there in to modern metal music but thats just a cover up for liking crap bands like? ?'bring me the horizon' andparamore
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? they are constantly deppressed and think their gods gift to everyone......they should just die..i think its what they would want anyway!!!!? ? ? ? ? ? ?

just off topic, i'm growing my hair long, i want some tips how to have it so i don't look emo!

cool! if you want some tips so you dont look emo, just dont have your hair like anyone in the pictures above...ok : ok: so dont have a long fringe in your face and you should be fine ;)

EMO was cool in capital cities for about a year.  Now its over and no-one likes it.  Emo died.  A quick death, thank the lord.   ;D

Its basically a trend clouded in fakeness and posing.  No-one is who they say they are, or believes in what they are saying.  Its quite the most pathetic thing ever.

However, boys with long hair are quite fantastical.  :D

No!  Never!   :rant:

i agree : ok:



hellz no i agree with Easy E on this one. btw i got long hair  :smoking:

its far from dead over here.

its far from dead over here.
i agree, my mate used to be into all this modern metal stuff and now she slits her rists and acts all emo......its like everybody is following the crowd when it comes to being an emo,people who are emo are just doing it because everyone else (well not everyone but most people) are doing it too....maybe one day thy'll realise how stupid they look. :hihi:

all it takes is for some badass band to come out, change the face of the planet and they all get owned.

"emo" is just the modern branch of the species of music that sprouted the shoegazing/goth/electronica/indie-pop bands in the 80s and 90s. Like any other "movement" in music, it'll grow up, get a haircut, start wearing slippers and hand over the reigns to the next generation of bastardized mutant white music. If you want someone to blame may I suggest; college radio stations.

There hasn't been a "new" genre of music since rap, and that's only just reached it's "gotta pay the bills or they'll repo my escalade, time to sell-out and make gap commercials" phase.

Guns N' Roses would be that badass band that is going to wipe them out

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Ugh.  I said cool as in Popular.  People followed it because they thought it was the 'trendy' thing to do.

Well in Brisneylandddd (Brisbane) its pretty much dead.  The only people who follow the trend now are considered posers.  Everyone who was originally in the emo scene abandoned it and became like a little hardxcore kid or whatever.

The point being, the trendsetters in Brisbane have abandoned it because its pretty much lame.

Sweet.  :) I had a dream I was with slash last night.  So at the moment... Im not looking for anyone less than him.  ;)

Toneless, rhythmless, soulless, whiney musical crimes created by and for whiney middle-class white kids with spikey, choppy highlighted hair. You know, like, uh, pop music. Music derived from styles which were derived from styles which were derived from styles created generations ago by people who had balls. Styles which have been neutered, gene-spliced and hermetically sealed so as to be as bland, inoffensive and tasteless as possible. Generally leaning more towards the tasteless part.

100% true...this video is so funny :peace:

youll find there is alot of very shit black music around also. take 50 cent.

but yes i agree that there is alot of shit music, however i do not agree that only white people make crap music now.

yeh i agree, i hate 50 cent,round here loads of chavs have started listaning to all these dance remix tracks (which are absolute crap, especially when there being played through a mobile phone) but i think there is WAY too much rubish music round today loads of new music is just pointless :no:

i also hate how they have 5000 chaka kahn (however name is spelt) remixes where her voice is sped up and is all squeeky and lame. Then in thr background all it is is "UM TISH UM TISH UM TISH"

i no its crap,they obviously have to taste :hihi:

i agree fully : ok:

my theory is that all the rappers will get pissed off and eventually shoot each other and all the emo dip-shits will kill themselves because maybe they'll get the point that they are unwanted ;D

Heres to a CHINESE DEMOCRACY in March :beer:

:hihi: that sounds right,my bet is in 3 years :hihi:....why march though ???
 

'cuz the man himself said that 6th march was a tentative (?) release date : ok:

check this: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=41209.0

or this: http://web.gunsnroses.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061214&content_id=a1&vkey=news&fext=.jsp

the second one is tha same as the first only that it's on gn'rs official site :yes:

No-one said that only white people make crap music. But white people make up most of the population of the US and Europe, so naturally they make up the larger part of the music industry which, as a whole, produces a large amount of crap. We also make up the larger portion of the buying public so we're double damned, we're demanding and supplying ourselves with crap.

Morons like 50 Cent make me laugh. They're the modern version of Minstrels, Al Jolson without the catchy tunes. I'm sure that any black musician with any self-respect is thoroughly disgusted by guys like him, rappers playing stereotypes of black gangsta-rappers. A stereotype created by the (largely white) mass media. I think it was 50 Cent himself who said he isn't interested in music at all, he considers himself a businessman and his albums are just a product. And while it's almost gratifying that we know that he knows his music is a bunch of crap, it's unfortunate that he doesn't hit himself in the face with a concrete block a few hundred times each morning.

oh right i see..thanks, : ok: well i guess this means more waiting :-\
yeh, i no what you mean :hihi:

Ermmm... isnt he dead??

This.

Circle Takes The Square, Hot Cross, Rites Of Spring, Envy are emo bands, not My Chemical Romance :D  :hihi:

rites of Spring and Minor threat are really credited with beginning the emocore movement back in the late 80s.  And as I assume many of you know, the bands split up and came together to form Fugazi.  Another emocore pioneer.  As the emo kids say, that was first generation emo.  As the years progressed the emo sound grew lighter and mellower as you will see...

The next generation of emo came in the early 90s with Pavement, Sebadhoh and Weezer (some people will even include Nirvana)

The 3rd generation came in the late 90s with bands like Braid, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Cap N Jazz.

the 4th generation was the first to break out into the mainstream with Death Cab For Cutie, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, Get-Up Kids.

The 5th generation is the crap on the radio now like Panic at the Disco and Fall Out Boy.  Watered-down radio blandness.

there seems to be an effort by the music business to keep heavy metel n hard rock underground!

I, today came to the conclusion that maybe EMO is just a trend that will dissapear in music buisness kinda like the alternative/grunge music in early 90's

anopther thing i have thought about is that yeah, these so called emo bands wear make up, but didn't most big-popular bands in the 80's also do that ::)

but anyway hopefully, faggy boys that dresses like girls and slit their wrists will put CD on and have there hair in braids instead of dyed dark black and in front of their eyes so they can't see anything :rant:

 :hihi:

hey man, make up on dudes is cool....when its sleazy not faggy.

you have all watched this EMO parody right?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=W6_q5mRlF00

agreed, lack of media exposure for one.

what is the difference between goth and emo?

EMO is defined by guys who like to wear their jeans so far down their fucking arse your just doing something normal like shopping ....and it's right infront of u and your like man.... pull the fuckers up! lol

And also i'm sure some of you have witnessed this ...especially with the girls ...They'll be wearing a GNR or Maiden (etc)? t-shirt, but you start talking to them and they look at you with a blank expression ...they have no idea!

This topic is too hilaruios. Thank the lord that this stuff is this funny.

 EMO connects with kids who lack passion for music

Absolutely quality post!! Just read this.

Hilarious
