SUB-CATEGORY GENRE THINGS ARE STUPID! listen to you all....

you dont NEED to put EVERYTHING in its own new style... its completely unnecessary and ruins the music world in my opinion... i did masses of posts on this in another thread.... if i could be arsed to find the link... i would give it to you all to read so you could feel ashamed of yourselves and realise how arsey it all is.

everyone knows its weezer's fault for the 'emo' styling.

and i know fugazi are probably hardcore, but since they infulenced so much i stuck them in.

and its a bit silly to say subcategories ruin the music world, its a fact of life that things will be categorised, just dont take them too seriously, tis nothing more than some guidelines. plus most emo bands are closer to pop now-adays anyway (not saying pop is a bad thing, i friggen love pop music... its chart based pop that annoys me a little)

sambo · « **Reply #47 on:** February 25, 2006, 07:24:50 PM »

pop is chart based it stands for 'popular' music.....

and these sub-categories ruin music because people nitpick bands trying to find some sort of feature which can put them in a category....

i mean.... what is the real definition of 'emo'... its just stupid... i bet half the people who use the word dont know what it means (emotional).... so going by its TRUE meaning... a LOT of stuff is 'emo'.... its a load of balls and really not needed at all.... why cant people just describe what they like about the music without needing a trendy word to do it for them....

That's exactly what I was thinking :roll: It's Led Zep released in 1975, the album with the little known tune Kashmir.

hahaha!

oh right ok thanks for enlightening me...

i know kashmir... not a bad song actually.

badgermark · « **Reply #54 on:** February 25, 2006, 11:04:28 PM »

the little 'Led Zeppelin' at the top of the building gave it away... the only led zep album ive only listened to once, need to dig it out again i suppose.

and i see your point sambo, but emo is short for emotional hardcore, a lot of hardcore punk bands in the 80s started writing songs that were more emotional that the (usually) political based offerings.

and pop means more than just popular you know, to me its more about upbeat songs and with harmonies.

i dont mean to always be arguing with you sambo, just seems that every point you make i have a discussion about it, sorry...

sambo · « **Reply #55 on:** February 25, 2006, 11:10:19 PM »

lol dude its ok... i know what you mean... we just have conflicting opinions on msot stuff..

haha yer the led zepplin at the top- didnt see that, damn. :oops:

i know what you mean dude- pop and emo are those things slightly more exaggerated for want of a better word. but still, i mean categories are all well and good, but not loooooads of categories which are in turn divided up into mroe smalelr ones and so on and so forth.

I totally agree sambo, but the thing is, a lot of people take all these categories (and in a lot of cases sub-sub-sub genre categories) very seriously. Doesn't stop you having a laugh though... ;)

At the end of the day, it's music, and from my point of view there's only 3 categories. "Music I Like", "Music I Don't Like" and "Music That's Neither"... IMO FWIW...

sambo · « **Reply #57 on:** February 26, 2006, 11:25:20 AM »

skybone lol...

completely agree with your three categories...

then if someone asks you- why dont you like so and so- instead of saying something like "cause they're screamo" or whatever you say "because they scream so much"...

poor example but you get what i mean lol ... (i hope)... you describe the musical qualities not the category they've been put in...

_tom_ · « **Reply #58 on:** February 26, 2006, 11:36:55 AM »

Yep I'm a fan of the three genres "music I like" "music I dislike" and "music thats neither" now you mention it :lol:

Mainstream emo/screamo are still cr@p though :twisted:
