Emo - The latest musical craze - Nubblies.net Forums

ProfessorNumber · 05-23-2003, 08:45 PM

Is it just me, or is emo the most whiny and pathetically stupid form of music? For the most part emo bands are talented (TBS, Dashboard, some Saves The Day, Bright Eyes, etc...), however, I feel that they are so repetitive with their lyrics and messages, that It makes me want to punch someone in the face.

All of their music is about not getting girls, losing girls, and not getting enough attention from girls. What a stupid thing to sing about. No one wants to hear some dumbass singer whine about how he can't get girls.

In short, emo sucks.

nobody cares

Personally I could give fuck less about most emo because it is pretty whiney and it has the gayest name ever, some of it however, is good.
As far as your problem goes, I'll tell you what... this is tough though, but it has been known to work before.
Don't listen to it.

wow. what a concept. sadly, most of the people who complain about music here don't use it. the way the world works...oww, my head hurts just thinking about it...

my hat goes off to Titan, I couldn't have said it better.

I ask you to name any genre that doesn't have a stereotypical subject?

Country has beer and farming
Rap has it's emphasis on material possessions
Hair Metal was obsessed with sex and vainity
Punk = anti- government/society/life
Gospel is just about god

Basically, while i know that my last example was horrible, my point is that every genre has a subject bands seem to gravitate towards. So why care? Professor do you even listen to music yourself?

ProfessorNumber · 05-25-2003, 01:34 AM

I'll give credit where credit is due. Alpha, you raise an excellent point (even if you are a dipshit).

I see what you are saying. But still, most other genres vary more than just one topic. Alternative music for instance can be about anything.

Alpha · 05-25-2003, 01:42 AM

But alternative music ususally sucks. If you want to bitch about any music form that has a repetitive message, i would have to say that rap is the obvious choice. How many times can you brag about your sexlife/car/jewelry/house/rapping abilities/"game"? You get the point i assume? Hell though rap isn't all bad, it's nice to see some rappers avoid most stereotypes like Nas.
Don't really know what my point was, mainly don't bash emo. And drink lots of green tea and your penis will grow!

Combat Chuck · 05-25-2003, 01:48 AM

Eh, as long as the music is good, I'm into it. However, I can understand why you might not like 'emo' lyrics. They do seem repetitive in subject matter, but as alpha presented, you can't find any type of musical genre that doesn't get repetitive. Just comes with the biz, and the lyricists of our time.

ProfessorNumber · 05-25-2003, 02:04 AM

I'll admit that you guys are semi-right, but still, emo is the latest musical trend, and I just don't understand how people can love it so much when all it does it bitch.. bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch..

by the way, dont bother pointing out the irony that I bitch alot.

Saint DH · 05-31-2003, 05:05 PM

Ok, and I also won't point out the irony that you are a bitch, too.

Oh, by the way, you're right about emo, gay.

Gay, just as rap and hip-hop are sir.

Saint DH · 05-31-2003, 07:15 PM

I agree.
The only good music is Fat Albert and his junkyard band.

Niger Angelus · 06-01-2003, 01:23 AM

Uhm, yeah bitches. Eat shit and die !

Combat Chuck · 06-01-2003, 09:57 PM

Oh man, I own every Fat Albert album. It's the only way I get through the day. Listening to it is like eating, but not getting sick after having too much.

Niger Angelus · 06-01-2003, 10:05 PM

I have cut down on my portions lately. I am trying to lose some weight. I think I am going to start running and biking more also. Because, for those of you that were at the water slide, you know I have packed on some pounds.
