like or hate emo? Options

[sillakilla220]

no offense to anyone but personally that stuff is trash. whiny boys too in touch with their feminine side doesnt really appeal to me. just wondering cuz i hate seeing it on mtv, who else even listens to that garbage?

[dahding]

emo bands, bad or not, still make up a part of the music industry. as does rap. while there are some really bad generic washed up bands, there are also some good ones. same thing goes for rap. yes, tupac and biggie were amazing rappers, i definitely have to agree with that. and their deaths were remembered for quite some time. i'll give credit to that. some rappers are good, and some are well, really bad, like 50 cent. i'm not saying that emo bands are necessarily superior to rappers, but i simply choose to approve of all genres of music. if they can get their name out there, and make at least one person like their music, then they've got to be doing something right.

and yeah, i have to agree with james. perhaps ur misjudging the longevity of how long something would appear in the news? perhaps not weeks, more like days. yes, many people listen to rap, and it's also promoted more so by mtv and the media, compared to emo bands.

and u say that u approve of "good rock," jazz, reggae, and even sometimes classical. and u claim that ur dismissing it as ignorance. well i got news for u buddy, unless if u've listened to every emo band known to mankind, which is literally impossible, seeing as how new emo bands appear every day, u can not say for 100% sure that ALL emo bands suck. u have a predisposition to say that emo bands suck, because maybe u heard some bands that u don't like. well, in that case, what do u define as emo music? and what do u consider "bad rock"?

to each his own music. don't be blindsided by ur distaste for a certain style. just respect the fact that they can get their name out there in the real world and get fans. u don't have to like them, no one's saying that u have to. but at least have the courtesy not to talk crap about them like u know enough to make a mature judgement about them.

i didnt mean "good rock" i meant good rock, good jazz, good reggae, and good classical. but its not ignorance to say i dont like emo cuz i havent heard every single band. cuz i dont like the genre. i dont have to smell every pile of sh*t to kno that it stinks. but i respect every genre, even if i dont like it. in fact, some members of the bands listed earlier prolly have more musical talent than some of the rappers i listen to, but i still dont like it. if i ever want to commit suicide then i prolly will throw sum emo on to set the mood. until then i'll keep my emo intake to the brief periods when i see them on mtv

let's read this over...shall we?

"i didnt mean "good rock", i meant good rock"

right. like that makes perfect sense. oh, pardon me m'lord. i don't understand ur utmost brilliant methods of conveying ur skewed ideas. i'm just a lowly peon. boofreakinhoo. how does that make any sense? can anyone relay this to me? maybe i'm just misinterpreting this...or maybe i'm literate.

and it is ignorance to generalize emo as some sad little band who only sings about suicide, and how some whore dumped them, so that they feel all depressed about life.

that's just overused generalized mediocre piece of sh*t that many people, such as urself, believe. yeah, you don't have to listen to EVERY band possible. unless if u can't read, i said that it's impossible to, seeing as how there are so many bands rising up every day, every hour, etc etc. u say that ur not ignorant. well, look who believes in the generalized stereotype of the colloquial term "emo". if u refer to emo music as the very poorly portrayed vision of pathetic little depressed boys in tight pants who sing about razor blades and eyeliner and depression, then please, by all means, take their cd's if u hate them so much, snap them in half, and cut ur wrists with them. that way, we'll all be rid of yet another loud mouthed ignorant fool.<-- quote from foamy. and then some.

i never said u have to listen to it. so stop being such a little prick about how, "OMGZ, EMO MUSIC, IT'S SUCH sh*t, I'M WISE LISTEN TO ME I KNOW ALL ABOUT WHAT'S GOOD AND WHAT'S WRONG IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY." u sure as hell don't respect every genre of rap there is, especially if ur comparing it to smelling sh*t. which i'm sure u do every saturday night, god knows why. i'm saying that u over generalize emo music, therefore, it blindsides u to the possibility of emo music actually being likeable, which in turn makes u ignorant to the truth, and which in turn, makes u a big freakin liar, because u claim to be unbiased towards music genres, when it's blatantly obvious that u do.

now go hide in ur corner and cry, so u can get ur daily dose of emo.

You pretty much just emphasized the emo stereotype.
