I can dig their crunchy grooves, i don't like the new black parade stuff though

yeah heard the black parade today...it sucked.

I love all of their stuff! But I think I like Bullets... the best.

all of the Emo/"Post Hardcore" band of today are coppying all of there licks and lyrics from mainly 3 bands:

Embrace (not the new English band)

Rites of Spring

Fugazi (which was formed by members of the previously mentioned bands.)

they were not Emo, the were punk bands in the more "ideal" sense. they played punk and hardcore, but they were more "heartfelt" rather than "aggressive" and they're lyrics were more about personal politics and feelings rather than "anarchy".

Taking Back Sunday and My Chem and all these newer bands are just poppier watered-down versions of what was being done in the 80's and early 90's.

if you like My Chem and all that then check out the bands i mentioned cuzz you'll probably like them.

MCR I like their first cd but to be honest I'm not a big fan of emo, maybe because it all the same stuff, but I dont like their black parade concept as well. Its funny to even consider them as punk though, i guess thats y they put emo into it. All in All music is music. no offense. ^.^;;;;;;

you tell 'em, casey.

these kids that listen to the new emo dont appreciate their roots.

cool g!. i take it you know your history.

how about Husker Du? they weren't really "emo". more like,"heartfelt", like Fugazi without being real anthemic. and the Huskers sounded a lot more angry in their early days. but then again, so did Minor Threat.

lol..you mean there were days when minor threar didnt sound angry? nah but you gotta love 'em.

its hard to think of any of those bands as emo, what with the media and other idiots being too busy worshipping the guy from weezer. im not too knowledgeable about husker du, though ive heard a few tunes. im more into jawbreaker and that style when it comes to "emo" or "emocore"

i just love thinking back on this one time i was talking to my friend around the time he thought he was emo and said "have you ever heard of ian mackaye...or rites of spring?" and he just stared at me. its sad how 97% of people are like that though.

yeah really. people who listen to todays music aren't familier with their musical roots at all.

Jawbreaker is damn good!

check out the albums Everything Falls Apart and Zen Arcade by Husker Du.

the Wipers are great too.

i think its very unfair of people to judge all the "new age emo" kids by the actions and opinions of a few...i personally love MCR, but if you look at my profile, i am very in touch with my musical roots.

One of the members of My Chemical Romance used to live in my hometown right next door to my friend's house....

Not a fan...

i dislike emos..... alot. far from a fan of MCR
