Ok, this is what gets me the most about emo, more than any other group of music lovers.
99.9% of all the people I know that like Emo/Indie Rock (I know a bunch!) will only listen to Emo/Indie Rock, and wont ever EVER even give a chance to another genre of music. They wont even listen to it to see what it sounds like. I know people that listen to rap that like trance, people who like rock that like rap, and people who like trance that love tons of other music (out side of EDM).
I will give other music a chance, but my emo friends, run scared.
Thats the thing that gets me the most. |
That's not too true. My school has a high population of emo kiddies, and I can safely say that while they listen mostly to Emo/Indie Rock, they do branch out quite often to EDM, albeit popular cheese. |

Here's the thing about emo threads: people only ever whine and complain and bitch and moan about how much they hate emo. Well why do these people hate emo, you might ask? Because emo is just somebody whining and complaining and bitching and moaning. See the correlation here? :wtf:

This makes it immune to being ridiculed...how? I think like any other type of music it will get its share of criticism...from me :toothless

I see neither as worse...especially considering the fact that 'Indie' music, within itself, by the very definition thereof, is completely immune to being part of an explosion. It's like saying 'mainstream-underground'. Well what the ? It contradicts itself! :wtf:
|
Well I'm sure it would in fact be resistant to exploding onto the mainstream if it weren't so blatantly obvious that the music is featured on MTV as often as pop music, and is played on the radio more so now than any other time before that I've seen. Well what the ?! I don't see it as much of a contradiction as much as a purist of the sound would see it as a bastardization of it, like alot of punk bands.

People are going to like what they are going to like - the reasons tend to be different though, and the only thing that should be looked down upon is liking a music merely because it makes you feel as though you 'fit-in' with some sort of crowd. You should appreciate the music for what it is, not just refer your opinions of the minded "fans" onto your judgements of the music, itself. As with any true art form, there is worthwhile beauty perceivable only by those who want to see with eyes unclouded by a limited prejudice against the dangers of something new and foreign.
Plese focus your frustrations on the appropriate aspect. As with most things, this happens to be the people. |
I agree with you for the most part, but my original statements and opinions still stand!! :thepirate Good post though. |

This is effectively your question:
Which is worse - having your testicles slammed with a sledgehammer or having your testicles chewed on by a large rottweiler? |

I didn't say it was immune to ridicule - in fact, it's obvious that emo is anything but immune to ridicule. I was just pointing out that people are so emo...when they bitch about emo. :toothless

Maybe my definition of Indy Rock is a little misinformed...as is my definition of modern MTV.
Indy Rock = avant-garde style of decidedly non-mainstream rock music which can only develop onto mainstream rock if it decides to do so as with each rising indy-rcok band/artist. BUT when that band/artist decides to cross-over into the mainstream of things, people can only claim that the person no longer does "indy-Rock" but rather, "mainstream rock". There is a dicrepency within the definition there. correct me if I'm wrong, as I really don't listen to either genre. :toothless
MTV, if I remember correctly (5 minutes ago when I was watching it), does not play music or music videos. Occasionally they will showcase a video which happens to associate itself with a style of expression known as "rap" but once again, there is discrepancy in the definition, especially considering whether or not this 'rap' can truly be called music. :toothless
I keed, I keed, rap-fans! :stongue:
