what is ****y metal core? why the blanks? :P

Metalcore is a ***** sub genre of heavy metal.

You got bad guitar solos, pointless fills in druming.

And so on.

 

Oh and the vocals all sound the same

Thank you very much. Doesn't look like anything new really. I remember seeing stuff like that when my daughter was a teenager in the 80's. I'm guessing that calling someone EMO is a put-down especially from macho metal rockers. A marketing ploy and it looks like one of those with a rather short shelf life.

The video was good.

I was a Teenager in the 80's, and you're absolutely Right! Metal need to ease off on the Sub Genres.

I didn't watch the original video.

 

But you could say I've pretty much 'cut my teeth' on the current emo scene. I'll also be the first to admit that it's not my favorite genre by a LONG shot. But being a touring musician I kinda gravitate toward emo bands because they can never seem to get along with each other so they fire guitar players right before tour, which is where I come in.

 

But here are some more current emo bands.

 

When this video came this band called themselves emo.

I don't consider this bands newer work or anything after the first record to be emo. But thats what they called themselves.

 

Some other random emo bands that are on the bigger side.

For the record though, I think there are very few new emo bands. For some reason a lot of people are mixing emo with pop punk or hardcore.

Holy mackerel, Batman...

 

I tried to listen to one vid and honestly, couldn't understand a word of the lyric. The band wasn't bad, just not... comprehensible in the lyric.

 

I dunno. Even in variations of rock, I figure if a lyric is worth writing, it should be worth understanding.

 

Then there are these variations that have their own "in" names denoting variations of style.

 

WADR, that seems a bit silly to me. I think we had as many variations of rock styles in the 60s, but nobody took seriously a solid definition and name of various subgenres. Hmmmm. I guess to me that's more an interesting cultural artifact than the music itself that doesn't seem that odd, in ways, even to an old guy. <grin>

So EMO's are depressed little goth wannabe's that listen to ugly music and have strange self done girl hairdo's with ribbons and where skinny pants and are probably sexually confused? Got it - I'll pass

 

 

 

Although there is something disturbingly hot about little tatooed Goth chicks. [crying]
