I guess this might get a little ranty, but please try a bit at educated discussion on this thread... I mean, this has a lot of potential to be a total screaming bashing thread, but I'm trying to avoid that.
Okay, now for the meat of the topic:
I sense that there's a new phase coming on, and emo is now "hotter"... the new prep sort of (This is open to debate, of course). "Okay, yeah, the world goes through cycles, but it seems like even more bands are clinging on to their images and are being unnecesarilly emo... of course, there will always be emo and scremo bands out there that some people will relate to, and that's okay, but there's just been a major influx, and because of that, a bunch of crap.
My favorite genres of music are post-grunge, hard rock, and metal (not to mention classical, but that doesn't really matter right now sweatdrop ), and emo lyrics are basically unavoidable because they're trying to target a specific audience and yadda yadda yadda... but it's like, either be hard core or not. I mean, I used to like alternative... but i think its taken a downward dive with all these bands trying to be emo by using their lyrics and dressing a certain way, but not actually doing anything with the music they produce. (Don't know what I'm talking about... well, don't shoot me, but think, Panic of the Disco, Good Charlotte, MCR... I mean, they don't stand up to bands like Disturbed or even much worse bands like Three Days Grace in terms of keeping the music truly hard core...)
I know I've judged people for listening to bands like the ones listed above, I think that they're more likely to be emo poseurs who are trying to look "cool," and I try to avoid that. Because of this, I tend to avoid telling people that I listen to bands like Three Days Grace and.. stuff... bands who still have a long way to go and are still have lots to learn, so they're kind of crappy, but I like the style of music they're developing. Still, if I tell people this, I wonder if they'll judge me too...
Debate for or against me is open, about certain bands, judgements, or whatever... just wanted to see if other people agree with me.
