<p>Bleh. No it's not. They're not emo, they're just scene bands that sing in whiny voices. Real emo is more underground stuff, it is emotional hardcore music. There are emo songs about NOT feeling bad for yourself and just moving on, or about not killing yourself.</p>
<p>I can't "define" emo but here is what I like:
Emo/Screamo:
city of caterpillar
sed non satiata
suis la lune
raein
steeples
saetia
i'm sure I have others</p>
<p>as for hardcore, I prefer post-hardcore music like Envy and Trophy Scars</p>
<p>flyinghigh89: are you male? because it seems like you lost your "cajones" somewhere before you decided to make this thread. seriously, you are worried about whethre someone sits next to you in class? are you 4 years old? perhaps you should locate some "GUTS" if you catch my drift</p>
There is no such thing as "being emo". Emo is a type of music and nothing else. And emo is not Fall out boy and Panic at the disco either. Emo stands for emotional hardcore underground bands. It is not about wearing tight shirts and girl pants at all and it definitely is not about feeling lonely. so stop being dumb ****s and get your facts straight before learning everything from what you see on MTV
</p>
<p>Because slang words can't change definitions over time...</p>
<p>oh come on, of course there are things such as "an emo". sure it started out as just a type of music but now there are some kids that are just undeniably emo. this is as useless as arguing over the definition of punk</p>
<p>so what if people are jerks in class? u know what u do, u shut up and sit there and u take it. or u act like it doesnt affect u (I would go with the latter).</p>
<p>don't show people that ur life sucks, be full of energy. be funny, be sarcastic (but dont be a jerk), and importantly just relax. everyone has moments, u'll get over them.</p>
<p>becoming "emo" will not help. u need to chill and get a look at ur life. life is too short to be depressed all the time, be happy. :)</p>
