  • @jeremiahpheasant466
    @jeremiahpheasant466 Před rokem +11

    If people want to look up "real emo" bands look up emotive harcore, and if you want to find "real screamo" bands look up skramz bands
    Also what people called emo in the late 90s and early 2000s were actually just pop rock and pop punk bands mislabeled as emo by misinformed fans, for example mcr has stated they are a pop punk and alternative rock band and have stated they aren't an emo band and the same can be said about panic at the disco, their singer stated they aren't emo and they don't want to be associated with the image and called the genre shit and stated they were a pop rock band, and Paramore also said their music is pop punk, blink 182 said they are pop punk, taking back Sunday said they aren't emo multiple times even publicly at concerts and the used said they are just a rock band but both the used and taking back Sunday are clearly pop punk bands and show the characteristics of the genre, falling in reverse is post hardcore, metalcore, and rap metal, asking Alexandria were metalcore but are now rock, 21 pilots are pop, etc.
    Also I kinda agree with the copypasta of what is and isn't real emo because whoever made it is kind of right about emo being aggressive because most punk music is aggressive and even pop punk bands even though they are toned down they still have an aggressive sound to them, for example like bowling for soup in pop punk 101
    Also alot of bands mislabeled as emo usually don't have any characteristics of punk in their sound and just sound like angsty pop rock bands with no punk characteristics and no aggression like real emo bands, rites of spring sounds like real emotive hardcore, sunny day real estate sounds like real second wave emotive hardcore with indie rock influences and Jimmy eat world sounds like Midwest emo mixed with pop elements but not to the extent of the bands mislabeled as emo
    And the singer of sunny day real estate said they are a fugazi post hardcore band and fugazi has the same singer as rites of spring and rites of spring is the first emo band and emo is a subgenre of post hardcore
    and just saying certain genres and subgenres have certain characteristics that make them those genres in the first place and if they didn't then they wouldn't be said genres and would be something completely different and separate things in general and I know some people say gatekeepers are bad and all but think about it, they keep things pure and keep outsiders from coming in and poisoning the well and in doing so they protect everything that the genre stood for, also alot of gatekeepers are kinda like the scholars of music and the history behind it in their respective subcultures but with that said some gatekeepers are toxic and are in fact bad but not all of them, just a small minority 😁
    The only real thing "real" and "fake" emo bands share in common (well atleast the pop punk bands mislabeled as emo and the actual real emo bands anyway) is that they are all punk bands

    • @KaiDecadence
      @KaiDecadence Před rokem

      This is probably the best and most informed answer about emo. I was a teenager when all these pop punk bands being labeled as "emo" were big and back in those days I had no idea what actual emo music was. MySpace, Mall Culture (Hot Topic), and MTV really bastardized the genre with all these genre mislabelings and it's to a point where a lot of the teenagers and kids who grew up at the height of this music who are not in their 30s and/or very late 20s believe that these pop punk and pop rock bands are emo and if you try to correct and show them what real emo music is, they call you an elitist and/or a gatekeep and want to continue ignorantly believing that the bands they grew up wit hare actual emo.
      It's very interesting though when you take My Chemical Romance and Paramore because My Chemical Romance started out as a post-hardcore band with their (2002) debut album "I Bought You Bullets" and had they stuck with that sound, I feel like it would've been okay to have them described as "emo-adjacent" (not emo but somewhat close) even if they weren't playing Emotive Hardcore. But as we all know, MCR jumped right into pop-punk with "Three Cheers" and the rest was history to where it's bewildering how anyone can think their music sounds remotely "emo".
      Paramore's first album was also just straight up pop-punk but the atmosphere/vibe of it was not as "bouncy" (for lack of better word) compared to what you normally heard in the genre and I think this is what made people who discovered them back in 2005 (myself included) think thatthey were "emo". It doesn't help that Hayley Williams described the sound at the time as "emo but not whiny" and well looking at her cited influences, aside from Jimmy Eat World most of her inspiration doesn't come from any emotive hardcore bands at all so you know, some ignorance for sure.
      In short, what you said is true and it's unfortunate that so many people will take informative comments like this as being a snobby elitist/gatekeeper when in actuality it's just helping educate and help steer people to the music that actual defines the genre.

    i think the problem with classifying music is the amount of nuance there is. a lot of songs mix genres, or the genres overlap, so trying to make a distinction between hardcore and emo would be like comparing vermillion red to tangerine orange. and its like that with a lot of closely related genres

    These original emo bands sound like what I would call “post hardcore” or “screamo” now. And Midwest emo is not my preferred genre of music. It kind of makes me ill. To me, the word emo can cover a lot of ground. If the sound has roots in punk or hardcore, I don’t mind if people call it emo.

  • @TheBrandonn
    @TheBrandonn Před rokem +20

    Hearing that emo copypasta made me lose brain cells lol. Appreciate this vid, I can't stand the gatekeeping. Its all the same, they're all influenced by each other, tour with each other, listen to each other. I'm glad that theres subset genres of different emos honestly, theres something for every mood. I wouldn't consider something by a local band that formed in 2022 any less emo than something 30 years ago. Also, the argument that bc they're on the radio they aren't true emo is just hilarious. So the genre became popular and is played on radio/tv, are you seriously surprised? haha like, what?! Its so bizarre, its like saying not true rock n roll unless it was written in the 1940s/50s LOL. Weezer was the first band I ever heard/liked as a baby, they led to a lifelong obsession with emo music

    No love for Jimmy Eat World? I mean, I know they went a bit far afield into alt-rock by "Bleed American" (and they consistently refused the term "emo" - but don't they all really?) but their early stuff seems pretty solidly in 2nd wave Midwest Emo & their success helped place the genre more solidily in the public eye. I was in the L.A. punk scene in the 80s & Minor Threat were my favorite band, so its kinda funny that I can't do Screamo really.

Their later stuff isn't but if you would listen to MCR's "Bullets" (it has a longer title but its referred to as "Bullets") and FOB's "Take This To Your Grave", you can hear influences from Saves The Day, The Promise Ring, The Get Up Kids, SDRE, and Jimmy Eat World!!!
      While we are on the subject on What is, What's not, and what actually is/isn't. I'd also throw in Hawthorne Heights, Senses Fail, and Mayday Parade into the "highly debatable/actually is" pile

    Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance had some serious Emo uprisings and inspirations and other bands like Hawthorne Heights, Mayday Parade, and Senses Fail happily wear the Emo crown and consider themselves as such while ACTUALLY keeping true to Emo music

    As someone who actually grew up in the 90’s I can honestly say genre and categorization was totally unimportant. It was all different shades of punk/hardcore/indie. To me Spazz and Promise Ring were still branches -despite being far apart on the same family tree. Whether it was Heroin, or Indian Summer, or Texas is the Reason or Drop Dead, or the Get up Kids- it was also under the umbrella of punk/hardcore.
