Evanescence = incredibly sneer-worthy.

Hoobastank = WORST FUCKING BAND EVER!!!!!

The Reason = "THE REASON" WHY HOOBASTANK IS THE WORST FUCKING BAND EVER!!!

EVER!!!! EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!!

That lady does have a good voice, but I just dont care for evanasence very much. I'd much rather be listening to Tristania, Theater of Tragedy, Unholy, Shape of Despair, Bjork, or Portishead.

CHumbahwumbah is sneer worthy
not Evenscence

Evanesance is definately not an emo band, either. Modest Mouse, Pedro the Lion, Cursive, Bright Eyes... all emo bands.

The Emo fashion described by that site is pretty right on for gals, however the fashion style they give for guys is the same as worn by the trendy fashion/hardcore kids... which is about one step away from emo. I've seen emo-kids all about sweaters and moppy hair, and youth size small T-shirts. Then again, I've seen emo kids who dress exactly how they describe, now that I think of it.

I no longer wish to bite your head.  

"The Reason" was a sweet song.
I can think of plenty of bands that suck more than Hoobastank, although I have admitted that I only really like "the Reason" to begin with.

Oh, well, in that case, I'm not emo even in my music tastes.  I've never heard of them.  Although, I think "Cursive" is a cool name for a band.

Emo kids are similar to myself in the sense that they listen to shit that you've never heard of and dont care about, but I've heard of the shit they listen to and I dont like it.

umm...Modest Mouse is most definitely NOT an emo band...and if Isaac heard you say that, he'd probably stab you with a broken beer bottle...you're talkin' about my friends here, and not very nicely...

[Malaul]

oooooooo
how I love the modest mouse


FloatOn was my sig forra while

I hate saying this, because it's not very fair of me to throw judgements on other people' fashion sense, I grew up in the 80's, who am I to cast stones, but...

Goddamn, emo fashion is ugly.  Don't they even realize how icky they look?  I can't think of any body type or face shape that would actually look good in those clothes or hairstyles.  It totally plays up the worst things about anyone's body.  Why would a woman really want to wear clothes that will only magnify every ounce of pudge she carries in her tummy?  And, c'mon guys, if your hips are the same size as your shoulders, do you really want to wear slacks that reveal this about your body?
And tennis shoes, OMG!  I have a pair of tennis shoes to work out in, but my goodness, I don't let anyone actually see me in them except the people in the gym, who are also wearing tennis shoes.  Jeezus!

*is fascinated by the train wreck that is emo fashion*

[agent compassion]

Modest Mouse isn't quite emo, but they're not quite GOOD either.

You can all float on...my ass...!

The real shiznite is THOSE DARN ACCORDIONS!

::floats on AC ass::

Wow, I need a bigger float

[shabbetay]

I guess the problem here is not the bands (each individual has hir taste.. Tristania rocks! xD), but of course the cliques, the trend, all that stuff which comes with it...

I mean, for many of those sort of 'subcultures' a pair of decades ago you had some sort of counter-culture behind; the punk 'no-future', the gothic 'not even a present' and its idealization of a non-industrialized nature based past our ancestors are idealized to enjoy... the problem is, when this becomes a postmodernist trend, that is to say, a pattern which is imitated and refracted again and again until any trace of meaning is lost in the pure imitation process and its mercantilization...

In the case of Emo, it seems as if there was not even any sort of counter-cultural idea to begin with, just the impulse to find a new trend, a new 'cool thing'... though, maybe (just to be less harsh ), it is a sympthom on that the postmodern-subculture-trendyness consisting on imitation and mindless pattern following is getting to a point these new sorts of trends like Emo are unconsciously just weak attempts on trying to find something which is out of the trend labelling, something new which has still not been eaten by the pattern recognition of mercantilization (but then again, Emo seems to have embraced so fast having an empty and recognizable pattern...)
