boys night out - NO!

hawthorne heights - YES
alexisonfire - NO
boys night out - NO
dashboard confessional - YES

Hawthrone heights and dashboard are like the definition of Emo. How are Alexis and BNO emo? Alexis and BNO arent emo at all. They dont have songs saying how bad they feel and how their life is terrible and how they are gonna kill them selves cuz their life sucks *even though thats only some emo songs*. Alexisonfire's songs all have meanings to them, like Boiled Frogs is about how George's dad lost his job and how his pention kinda crapped out on his and how its a pain in the ass. Its about how the country and gouvernment doesnt care about insodences like that and they happen all the time. Also BNO, if you have listened to any thing from Train Wreck or Make your self sick, theres no emo in that what so ever. Train wreck tells a story of a guy with mental health problems who commited him self into an instatution because he killed his wife in his dreams. Then the cd tells of his recovery in songs, hense why all the songs are called "Dreaming", "waking" "sentancing" "medicating". Etc. Ive met the guys in BNO and my friend actuall dated Connor when he was still in highschool. Ive been listening to them since they first released "Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses". They arent Emo in the slightest. Hawthrone and Dashboard are super emo.

And to add to the emo jokes, How many emo kids does it take to change a lightbulb?


None because they are all to busy crying in the dark.

hahah,, boys night out not emo..

"when your left with only a bullet, ill bring the trigger ill promise to pull it"

make yourself sick is a good album, but its incredibly emo.

old dashboard is emo, new dashboard is radio rock.

wow one song. How can you say "i got punched in the face" is emo??

[brianforster]

haha ok valo, i thought that would be enough examples, but here we go:

"Baby, the blood's already been spilled
and no amount of crying
will wash the red from your guilty hands"

"I suffered through my potential, and didn't come back with anything substantial
I'm sorry, but I need saving... this horror, the perfect ending..."

"Hey, honey, hold my hand and hope for heaven
Because I just can't help myself.
Even angels end up burned and buried in my backyard...
And you, you're just like everyone else. "

"An I.O.U. tattoo strung along the finer rips and tears of your heart,
and it is there to keep you together while we're all falling apart"

all from make yourself sick

ill admit that the new album is LESS emo, but make yourself sick is as emo as it gets.

k, i havent read the whole thread but here's my contribution.

mayday parade - three cheers for five years
damien rice - any song by him <3
gregory and the hawk - boats and birds
daphne loves derby - the longest story
the mascara story - conquer you
something corporate - konstantine (the most emo song ever, it's been one of my favorites songs since like 4 years ago)
the submarines - brighter discontent
tanya davis - this sadness (spoken word)
jenn grant
jill barber - ashes to ashes
ben jelen - come on

BNO is emo..

"The Fine Art Of Making It Out Alive"

"Kiss me on the forehead, angel, before I go to sleep. I can't remember if it's Thursday or December. I've been keeping track of days by counting hangovers and bottles on my floor. My mangled memory is making me bmistake misfortune for forgiveness. I don't think I'll make it out alive. So promise me that you'll survive to bury me. Just empty all the alcohol and chronicle the chemicals, but don't forget the cigarettes. Remember every ember. Alright, I admit that past few months were broken and abused. Now I'm used to the bleeding and unspoken words that kept me so confused."

pretty much that enitre passage from the song is emo..

"I can't remeber if its thursday or december.
I've been keepig track of days by counting hangovers and bottles on my floor"

that is emo, not rock, scremo, alt, its emo. although not everything they sing is emo, there are somewhat emo.

But none the less a very good band that i've been listing to since 2002.

However alexisonfire is not emo at all. They are strgith scremo. And an amazing band.. "Get Fighted" is a fu*king awesome song.
