When I think EMO I think

native nod  
cross my heart  
The Gloria Record  
The Promise Ring  
Christie Front Drive  
The Appleseed Cast  
Sunny Day Real Estate  
Texas is the Reason  
Knapsack  
braid _frame and canvas album_  
June of 44  
Rachel’s

etc. etc. etc.

but you guys wouldn’t know anything about that :slap:

problem is some bands had a sorta EMO sound and went mainstream so technically its POP, but I would call the bands mentioned previously pop-punk-emo stretching it, just like when PUNK went mainstream and you had pop-punk, (blink 182, new green day, etc.)

> I actually disagree. their older cd’s could be classified as metal but their newest cd wasn’t what it was hyped up to be. I don’t know what genre to categorize avenged sevenfold as but ur not emo

of their 4 cd’s only the 2nd one is heavy the rest is typical of what you hear on the radio

Yes. It may have been popular, but the genre is still hip hop/rap.

nws for cartoon penis imagery

as for the whole “emo” thing?

Emo was a style of punk music originating in the DC area a few decades back. Since I hate punk music AND whiny bitches, I especially hate this genre of music. For the last ten or so years, radio friendly pop-emo bands have popped up with varying degrees of success. The irony of it all is that some of these bands have strayed so far from their emo influences that they’ve actually become tolerable pop rock bands.
