hmm, i'll do two:
emo- a branch of the d.c. punk scene in the late 80s with more emotional lyrics than their other, more hardcore, genre mates. it has gone through many transformations, and the term is now given usually to pop punk bands with sensitive lyrics or whiney acoustic bands. i personally think these bands are not part of the genre and that the genre is dead, but that's just my take. examples: rites of spring, fugazi, and sunny day real estate. indie- personally, i just think that it's bands on an indie label or bands that have the indie label sound... this is rather a broad category. examples: pedro the lion, mates of state, and neutral milk hotel. edit: sorry, i didn't see that it says "i know emo & punk"... oh well. |

QUOTE(learninghowtofall @ Apr 12 2005, 4:26 PM) actually, indie has a sound too yeah, that's why i said "i personally think". but i always thought it was just an indie label sound. it's too much of a broad genre to give one sound too, especially since it's really diverse. i guess i could have defined "indie rock" instead... |
