o.k. here's a harder question, how do you make the distinction between emo and melodic hardcore? |

I'm just trying to figure out all these "mini-genres." |

I've got a simple form of classification: good and crap. Simple.  |

Speaking of hardcore, I saw a hardcore show the other day. With the exception of a couple bands, they were all really good. You gotta love that huge hardcore drum sound.

The stuff you're talking about? Sounds like some derranged individuals to me. Maybe they're playing a joke on you to make you look stupid.

The problem is while emo can be classified with this "more melodic label" some of the boys sets fire I've heard is real heavy with shouting. I think there trying to confuse us all. I think any emo band should just be lazily chucked in with nu-metal, that would make everyone happy. Categorising bands is so confusing. BTW NFG = pop punk, like Blink 182 and Fenix TX. |

however, i will merely direct all who wish to learn about emo to www.fourfa.com and close this thread so that no further damage will be done. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
