If you listen to Green Day, and believe you are punk, then you are on the way to emo my friends.

CDSmith · 06-21-2005, 08:31 AM

EMO = emotion, or emotive I guess. They dress a certain way, cut their hair a certain way, wear horn-rimmed glasses, and are all sad and crying and sappy at times, and hot-tempered and screaming bitchy at other times.

EMO..... they all must of course, die. :D

That's like saying the Dixie Chicks are not country because they don't sound like Dolly Pardon did. The Sex Pistols are dead and there is now a "classic punk" genre for a reason.

The emo social group does not listen to Green Day anyway. They are into bands like Dashboard Confessional, Brand New, New Found Glory, Something Corporate, etc... Pretty much emotionally charged rock that can be very unique at times.

Today's emo is pretty much the modern day equivalent of the 90's skater grunge culture and the alternative music they listened to.

Emo style of dress is very reminisant of that also, only more attention is paid to not looking so homeless and their clothes actually fit them.

And for the record, if Kurt Cobain was alive today he personally would be considered an emo. So it's not just for dorks.

xxxice · 06-21-2005, 02:04 PM

Hell House Vic · 06-21-2005, 02:07 PM

And here's the best most accurate history I can recall:

In the late '70s there was punk rock.

Major labels decided to give punk a whirl. It failed. In the early '80s they decided to try repackaging punk and user-friendly-ing it up: they called it "New Wave." It succeeded.

But the punks who stayed "Punk" and didn't go "New Wave" called themselves "Hardcore Punks."

By 1983 the main Hardcore Punk scene was in Washington DC - and the biggest names were Bad Brains and Minor Threat (mention due to Black Flag from Cali, too).

In reaction to the "user-friendly-ization" of punk in New Wave, the music from Hardcore Punk bands went the opposite direction: faster, harder, heavier, crazier.

Around the end of '83 the main brain behind Minor Threat (Ian Mackaye) realized that there was an unintended side effect of getting faster, harder, and heavier: the "macho-ization" of punk. By '83 Hardcore Punk was very male-oriented, and also some real aggressive, macho and bone-headed factions started to develop.

Trying to make amends, Ian quit Minor Threat and soon formed a band called "Embrace"... which intentionally veered away from macho and agressive topics - while still keeping a lot of the feel of Hardcore Punk.

A small scene of bands gravitated towards Embrace - the most notable of which was Rites of Spring. Faith is also a band that deserves metion.

In an interview in '84 in Maximum Rock and Roll, this scene agreed to label themselves as "emo" or "emocore" - since they were anti-agressive, macho stuff and were pro the more feminine, emotional stuff.

By '86 the emo scene had died out, as mostly had the entire hardcore punk scene.

in '87-'88 the hardcore scene revived in NYC and then spread like wildfire - but the ethics of Ian's "Emo" scene were lost on the male-oriented revival.

Around '91 hardcore punk had progressed to it's pinnacle with bands like Quicksand, Burn, etc. after '91 it started to spin off into mainstream and loose it's cohesion.

Around '93 or so, some asshole got the idea that they could use the term "emo" to describe their mass-media friendly watered down bullshit version of Hardcore Punk. And from there you get this whole new crop of kinda shitty bands that probably don't know a Rites of Spring song from a Devo song.

High Plains Drifter · 06-21-2005, 02:31 PM

Good history, Vic. I'd like to add that Ian is still living in DC and to this day he's still making and releasing independent music with the same DIY values that he had in 1980 (although he's been known to have a beer or two these days). You can't say that about many people from that scene.

*edit* and I gotta throw in a plug for 7 Seconds, another of the influential OG hardcore bands from back in the day who drifted into Ian's flavor of emo in the late 80's and early 90's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo

Emo (an abbreviation of "emotionally-driven Hardcore punk") is a term now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punk's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage. It is also used to describe fans of this genre, most commonly teenagers. (e.g., emo kid). The actual term "emo" originated in the mid-1980s D.C. scene, with the band Rites of Spring, as well as bands such as Fugazi, Moss Icon, and Antioch Arrow. The term addressed both the way the band connected with its audience, as well as its tendency to deal more with topics of personal and relationship politics than with the standard themes of rock music.

Hell House Vic · 06-21-2005, 03:48 PM

Insane how they had a good definition but completely left Ian MacKaye and Embrace out of it!

Actually, Ian did a band or two between Minor Threat and Embrace... the one that actually recorded was Pailhead - which was an experiment in Industrial Music that Ian collaborated with someone from Ministry on.

And after Embrace... Half of Embrace and half of Rites of Spring merged and became Fugazi.

I saw Fugazi in 1991 and they were absolutely positively amazing.
