  • Today, emo comes in many forms, and what truly is part of the genre is constantly up for debate. One thing is for certain though, emo is emotional music for emotional people.

      SatEight SatEight i never said they had to change anything about the characters, i was simply pointing out that it would be perfectly normal for someone to not understand what they were saying, especially considering their voices are very quiet and muffled and there’s a constant breathing noise in the background which can be quite distracting at times

      Because midwest emo is nothing more than alt rock with questionable actual emo influence and I can't help not to cringe because midwest emo just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). And is mostly weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music.

      It's not about "telling kids to "learn history and respect traditions"" but about how stupid is society again giving credit to some for something they didnt do and ignoring the credit the underground deserved after 30 years. Many of the mainstream "emo" bands from 2002 on are just playing regular pop music while wearing a haircut (not all of them). To me is as stupid as the music world and music media forgetting two decades of rather very well known bands before those.

I would only disagree with the general dismissal of "emo revival" but that's pretty minor. Of course there are important bands missing but it's a 5 minute video. You can't talk about every influential emo band in 5 minutes. Great job!

      I suppose a lot of people still think they're emo bands, even though there's still emotive hardcore, Midwest emo, etc around. When emo hit the 00s, it became a whole new genre called emo pop punk. Those bands would fit into that category, especially their earlier albums. But they're not emo, they're emo pop punk and that's a different thing because it's a fusion of emo and pop punk.

      Shannon Dunn I believe that the Fulled By Ramen song's get put in to a different place to. The reason to me why the showed them was because a lot of kids who were emo in the 2000's they listen to Paramore and Panic! At The Disco.

      I mean to be honest I have listened to panic! At the Disco and I still do now. I love Brendon Urie as a person and I love his music. It's my taste and it doesn't matter if your taste is different. We all like these genres because if we didn't we would not be on this video

      also, incredibly annoying if you aren't watching the video, I'm gonna write a song about how much I hate it called, "not everyone who is emo has asthma and listening to heavy nasally breathing gives me a headache" I think it could get pitchfork's best new track when I release it in 3 years under my private label "under the bed in the dark hiding from scary make believe monster records"

    I disagree with the fact that *NO ONE* likes being called emo. For me it’s the easiest way to describe my music taste/style in a way that people will understand.

    • @FabulousKilljoy
      @FabulousKilljoy 4 роки тому

      Same. I listen to legitimately anything that displays talent and heart (jazz, blues, rap, pop, metal [any kind], rock, punk, country, classical, and different types of instrumental music), but my favorite genre is emo. Sometimes I’ll be like nah I’m not emo (because I don’t look it or act it at all), but I don’t know how else to describe it

    • @theman6044

    • @theman6044
      @theman6044 4 роки тому

      Fabulous Killjoy to conclude I have what some would consider a more “emo” fashion sense/style(meaning what a lot of the people who listen to emo music would wear) and music taste.

    Emo music. Of the two reasons for the online moniker I use on UA-cam (since June 19, 2007) , one references the suicide of two 16-year old emo girls in Melbourne Australia in April 2007.

    I was genuinely interested in learning about Emo and how it originated but the video is unwatchable. They thought it would be, funny I guess?, to give these characters weird voices to the point that I can only understand half of what they're saying.
    Good job

      Silver Game Dog, emo came from hardcore punk in the 80s and became so disgraceful to punks it was dissociated with punk, in short the only people who like emo kids are emo kids, this is how I sum up emo video is kinda the same
