This is my first look into /music/ and holy shit I thought the text board wouldn't be this awful.
I listen to real emo/screamo. 33 knows what he is talking about. God damn you people are ignorant about genres. Emo isn't that shit on MTV, the term was hijacked by marketing groups years ago from the original emotional hardcore. Emo isn't whiney songs about suicide. Emo isn't mascara and girls pants. Emo is hardcore punk with more intelligent lyrics (often about social and political issues) and more creative, intricate musicianship. Emo would be bands like Circle Takes The Square, Hot Cross, City of Caterpillar, Orchid, etc.
Check out the bands on this blog:
