Yeah, the more austere emos move on to orthodox punk culture, while the original social base of emo culture is now into vampires. But it lingers on in other countries.

A protest by Mexican emo kids against anti-emo street violence by chauvinistic homophobes, gets attacked by metalheads saying "They're copying our styles!" Then the cops arrive and beat up everybody, but a fourth force appears in the nick of time!

And then a bunch of Hare Krishnas come and steal the show? I think all of the subcultures have their "enemy subcultures" but to have civil disorder over "emo-ism" is just ridiculous. I love DF.

Punk is the way forward. I'm not even sure whether "emo" is even a thing anyway, beyond a group of kids listening to shit music. What I mean is, it doesn't represent any political or social sentiment or attitude in the way Punk does. And Punk boys are just far hotter.

My two cents is that it's just a bunch of retarded kids getting sucked in by Hot Topics dark colors and edgy "appearance".
Besides, it makes it so real loners can't get the peace they want when the emo kids try and be loners too, by trying to get real ones to teach them. :lol: You would think I'm kidding. I'm not. I've never been one to be social and I hate being called a loner because of the negative connotation [I mostly do it because I'm incredibly shy, yay internet facelessness :blushing:, and because going to a private Christian school means that the few people I do socialize with don't understand the first thing about Communism, which I'm slowly trying to change, as is everyone here I hope. But I've had a bunch of these emo kids follow me around and ask me how I keep myself entertained. It's creepy shit.

Nope, when I socialized the last thing I probably talk about is my politics. Not that I hide it, especially my criticism of the current system, but I just don't make my politics my focus of every conversation or my personality per se.

In Puerto Rico, rock subculture is till defined by emo-looking kids. They havent been keeping up with the U.S....
I Mexico, there's also emos.
Although, yep, they are mostly middle class but "middle class" is more fluid in PR than the U.S....I mean it includes explicitly sections of the working class that aren't on welfare.

It's the same in NZ as well. Most metalhead and hard rock fans I've met are right-wing fucks. I think it's hard rock/metal's macho, ultra-masculine attitude that makes that genre so attractive to reactionaries. We were doing the $15 minimum wage campaign at an AC-DC concert, for example, and while we expected a working-class audience we got a lot more abuse than anywhere else we've put forth that petition.

Emo subculture isn't reactionary.
I'm no emo but alot of my friends are and my best friend says that what she defines as "emos" are "people who express their emotion through what they wear". So then is it by coincidence that nearly all emos are miserable and wear depressing clothing?

Its hard to call emo one group or one trend. The 'emo' of the early 2000's doesn't have much connection with the emo of the 90's or 80's. When bands like Thursday started to integrate hardcore back into post-hardcore, a million identical self-proclaimed post-hardcore and emo bands came around and developed that stereotypical hot topic fan base that the mainstream media became conscious of.
Earlier emo bands don't have any of the self-hating goth-like shit that 2000's emo had. Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real Estate, and The Get Up Kids are all emo bands that don't have any of the modern emo stereotypes.

I think it would do most people to at least take a cursory glance at wikipedia, if not study the subculture itself, before rattling off about a subculture or genre of music they hardly understand. I know little about hip hop, and I know better than to assume all hip hop is just jay-z and lil wayne.
With that said, what is there to understand about the emo subculture? It's mostly non existent, and has morphed into mostly post-hardcore and screamo, and bleeding into indie-rock. Emo in it's purest form does not exist (unless in a vain attempt to bring it back), although what popular culture tends to think is "emo" seems quite big.
Politically, these kids can be anything from ron paultards to primitives to communists like myself. We are united by good music and having fun, and less so by politics, although naturally as young folk who listen to punk and heavy music we tend to be naturally left leaning.
It's accurate to say a lot of the radical parts of indie subculture are sprung from bourgeois seeds. An example is the trust fund guy who started a local farm and grocery store. It's radical to the extent that it gives us an opportunity to shop somewhere that isn't corporate, however it isn't as radical as say ordinary factory workers taking over their workplace (and if I were to provide that example to the average well-meaning, yet new-agey patron that visits this store they would look at me with confusion as to why anyone would "like work in a factory, man" :lol:)
Another example would be the trend for a lot of people to adopt the label anarchist and become homeless as a lifestyle choice, and to dumpster dive. To each their own, it just makes me chuckle to see people with such safety nets 'rebel' in such a way. It looks fun, honestly, too bad it in no way resembles real poverty, or anything radical. In a political argument I had with a friend of mine who subscribes to this lifestyle, he said that work should be abolished, and that no one would want to work even if they collectively owned the means of production, and that we should all just stop paying bills and ride bikes. This is just an example to provide an idea of what you may find in punk/hardcore/screamo/indie subcultures as far as radicalism goes. It all tends to revolve around zine culture, and while there are genuine radical ideas within it, it all seems to lead to lifestylism more than anything else.
Theres not really much more to it than that. I am fully entrenched in the "subculture" as it seems to be a culture open to all cultures. It is one of a couple subcultures that isn't jaded by the music industry and thus people make music/go on tour/live life just for fun. You'll also rarely find someone who is into, say, ear bleeding heavy hardcore that also does not listen to or at least appreciate other genres like hip hop, electronic music, or folk. I am the same way, my love for music and culture naturally leads me to be with other people who share this taste. A lot of these people listen to real emo (and not "emo") so I tend to feel the urge to defend them when I can. They get stereotyped as safe, collegiate, middle class white people and to many extents this is somewhat true (as the above two example of "radicalism" show), but it is also a stereotype and it cant be applied to everyone who enjoys living a certain way and liking certain kinds of music.

:crying: i am not alone.
i may be mistaken about sunny day real estate(i hate them with a passion). but rites of spring and so on are far too punkish in my taste to be really what the genre is about.
there are also many new bands who have nothing to do with underoath or similar whiny stuff.
as for the clothing give me a break, there was a similar punk style in the 1980s and nobody gave a fuck. the current emo trend is repackaging hijacking at it's worse.
there is very violent emocore aswell as very atmospheric and soft emocore, sometime they alternate between the two. there is little whiny stuff to be honest, though the lyrics tend to be whiny i find them to be no more whiny than poetry or bands like ac/dc. i actually compared lyrics and there are parts which can be interpreted as faggotish, but of course it's ac/dc. not emo so nobody cares.
louise cyphre,usurp synapse are the most violent. orchid, raein,envy often alternates. perhaps hot cross is one of the softest because they often use singing.
also i forgot to add, many of the emocore bands are just as radical leftist as the hardcore punk scene.

This might seem off topic, but bear with me. Within the last few days there were a bunch of kids that got poisoned at a rave here in the Bay Area because they bought knock-off ecstasy. I think one of them died, a bunch were sent to hospital, and two are still there in critical condition.
The old lady calls me an asshole for thinking this way, but my attitude was basically, 'Well, that's what they fucking get for buying drugs from a stranger. Back when I was still doing that kind of shit, I never bought from someone I didn't know personally. It's just fucking stupid.' The news keeps showing the pictures of the two guys in critical condition, so yesterday I say to her, 'See? What did I tell you? They're a bunch of fucking idiots! Just look at the guy on the right, with his stupid fucking Flock of Seagulls emo hairdo! You gotta question the decision making capacity of anyone who would intentionally have that haircut.'

Well this: "See? What did I tell you? They're a bunch of fucking idiots! Just look at the guy on the right, with his stupid fucking Flock of Seagulls emo hairdo! You gotta question the decision making capacity of anyone who would intentionally have that haircut." seems to be pretty callous at best, and misanthropic at worst. I mean sure they fucked up but they don't deserve to die, and I don't think it's cool to approach the incident with the attitude of "well those stupid emo kids got what was coming to them".
A couple of weeks ago a girl in detroit was riding a schoolbus when she stuck her head out of the window and was killed (by a tree branch or truck or something). Now she did something stupid and it was her fault, but that doesn't mean you should just shrug off her death. It's the same thing with the emo kids taking E.
I guess my question to you is, why do you care so much about what I think? How exactly is my opinion hurting anyone? I mean, it's not like I'm going out assaulting people simply for the way they look, just making fun of them.I was asking a question about a perceived trend on this forum.

Uhmm.. bands like Rites of Spring, Embrace, and Moss Icon were considered "emo" before bands like Sunny Day Real Estate.
i dont care if they are, its just impossible to compare rites of spring to screamo such as orchid or louise cyphre.
Cut that out.
Fugazi and Rites of spring are really good. That's all the emo I know, though.
Verbal warning for homophobic language.
ah sorry, i just meant to say ac/dc has whiny lyrics about woman too. why should whiny lyrics about woman be bad when the music is emo and not when it is a respected rock group like ac/dc. you are right i should have used another word but i didn't know how to say it.
It's not that I hate them, I just think the whole business is ridiculous. There are alot of fashion and music trends (which this essentially is) I think are idiotic. This particular trend just happens to be the topic of this thread. I mean, I've ranted and raved about the idiocy of black metal and its fans, but nobody really gave a shit.
I guess my question to you is, why do you care so much about what I think? How exactly is my opinion hurting anyone? I mean, it's not like I'm going out assaulting people simply for the way they look, just making fun of them.
Didn't your mother ever tell you, 'Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me?'
I get utterly mad when people are fucking racist.
and i get utterly mad when people are in a certain way fascist and claims emo to be an inferior subculture. mind you i do despise the mainstream corporate sold-out one but i respect their right to be part of it. even if in a way i am quite mad of being hijacked in a worse manner than rap could ever claim to be.
He should be banned, considering what he said and how fucking outrageous it is.
And the post should be trashed.
what the fuck did i say that was so outrageous, i used a wrong word that's it.
i just pointed out that ac/dc has lyrics about a man sad that a woman leaves him, i find it hypocritical that ac/dc fans bash emos for their lyrics. pardon me for being raised in a world where the f word is accepted for describing a lack of virility and i'm not talking about fuck. i do try to change and i apologize for this.

If you think it's OK to use the word "faggotish", you can fuck off.
You chose to say the word. You knew what you were doing when your dumb ass said it. that is a weak apology because you are defending the word to describe a so-called "lack of virility".

i never said it was okay, my weak ass apology was not a weak ass apology, and i didn't know how to say lack of virility in one word. you are over-reacting. and all the crap people here have said about the emo subculture is pretty fucking offensive to me and i don't complain about it at all. and yet again, i apologize for using that word.
as for motionless, know that many so called emocore band were pretty pissed of being called emo when the music they played in their opinion was nothing but punk rock.
