This is a topic that a lot of people disagree on. What classifies a song or a band as "emo" to you? Not necessarily talking about the way a band dresses, or the way they do their hair, etc...just strictly basing it off the sound of the band/song. Is it lyrical content? Is it an almost whiny style of singing and screaming? When I hear the word emo one generalization comes to mind, suicidal people, so to me I would say an emo band or song is based off the lyrical content more so than the sound they produce.
What do you think? |

(pssst, then don't comment on this!)
I personally label emo bands 'emo' due to a mix of the things you listed. I look at their clothes/appearance, lyrics, and their way of singing. If a majority of their songs are about "oh, my life is so bad, blahblahblah" and they style their hair to cover half their face... yeah. xD I don't know how to explain it. =\ |
