Its been more than 10 years since the "emo fad" began to take hold in America, and its been a thing in the UK since the turn of the millenium. If you're active on the internet, or went to high school in the past decade, chances are you know a bit about this culture, or may even be a part of it. Music alone isn't enough of a reason for most people to distance themselves from it, or refuse to even sample the tunes associated with it. Lets examine 5 Reasons People Hate SCENE/EMO Music and Culture, xD rawr!

I hooked my phone to Bluetooth speaker and played some Metallica and some girls said "I didn't know you like screamo"...... END ME
it must have taken so much self control not to beat them viciously.
I know dude and of all songs it was One which is quite possibly the softest (at least for the first part) pre-black album song
+William Schaffer if she doesnt know the words to one..shes too young for you lol. Im not implying you want to date them, every chick i knew, knew the words to one.
William Schaffer to be fair I thought Metallica was "sreamo" before I listened to them.
William Schaffer dude that fuck up emo or scene i have emo and scene more which is bored
Most of the scene kids turned into hipsters.
In my book that isn't evolving just devolving.
Because they are bandwagon hopping posers...
Had my look for over 15 years I don’t change it for fashion in style atm,etc.
Cupid Stunt sounds like we got a gatekeeper, fellas (yes i know how old your comment is idgaf)
Feels like forever since I used to see scene emo/kids everywhere at schools and malls.
Oh Hell I still see em and I give em the look of death. It works
At a mall, well either there isn't a Hot Topic in it or you've found a miraculous way of avoiding it.
At school, I don't know, maybe you don't in an area where there are alot of those people there.
Nellson Stout I'm emo but in not like a full on emo. I'm mostly a meathead. Iced Earth, Megadeth, Cannibal Corpse, Slipknot, Napalm Death etc... and I do like some emo bands like, Aiden, My Chemical Romance, and a couple of others. But Metal music is better!!
I’m emo and i never see anyone like me :(
I like a lot of the music. I just hate the fan bases.
Very true
What I hate the most is when oblivious rap/pop listeners mix up emo music and metal music. THEY ARE NOTHING ALIKE! Metal is actually good.
There is good rap get out from under your rock.
teaaddictedlosr he doesnt have to like it bitch
Pinhead Larry The "Emo" look has becone synonimous with various forms of Rock, including Metal so I don't get why real Emotive Hardcore gets all the hate when it has nothing to do with the whole scene.
Pinhead Larry emo is good as well. But metal is more varied, so more people like it.
Friend does this all the time. One time he got pissed at me and said "Go slit your wrists and listen to your death metal you emo." I cringed so hard lmao
The problem nowadays is that people think 'if it's not pop then it's emo' which is totally untrue. These same ignorant people even think the likes of death and prog metal are emo when it's clearly not. Music is a personal thing and it is what you make of it, it all depends on how the listener interprets the music - but the listener actually has to give it a chance before making a judgment
It's kind of a bummer that Slipknot and Marilyn Manson are now considered emo bands since a big amount of their fan base are edgy scene/emo kids.
+Leona Candelario they are? This is news to me.
+coverkillernation Whenever I go to a Manson concert, or even just a typical day at school, I see the angry group of emo children wearing Marilyn Manson merch
+MetalMusicManiacCollectorFreak8426 I've always had a rule: if I don't enjoy a band and own at least one album by them, as well as know just enough to carry on a simple conversation about them, then I don't buy or wear a shirt.
Emo literally stands for emotional punk. It makes sense.
Saying slipknot is emo is like saying mayhem or darkthrone is emo
I'm not sure this needs pointing out but all the hot topic 2000s emo stuff ≠ emo as a genre of music and it's history. Remember emo music has roots way back as the late 80s post-hardcore with groups like Drives Like Jehu and Rites of Spring with frequent trips into Math Rock/Indie rock with 90s bands such as caP'n jazz and American Football. Even "Screamo" itself lends itself more into the 90s fuzzbox post-hardcore sounds with pg .99, I Hate Myself and Saetia. And recently there has been a revival of these styles with The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate), Foxxing and The Hotelier that have a more post-rock flavour.
I'm pointing this out because these bands are really good and should be what people think of when the genre gets brought up. And not simply a face value-evaluation based off people's teenage mistakes of the early internet days of the 2000s.
I agree with you. Those are the real pioneers. But with every genre theres always a new wave. Sadly those bands were pushed aside
An emo kid makes a chess club geek look like Hulk Hogan. Fact.
insane bob's crazy shack as a chess club geek I like real metal
Why did you mention Unicorns Killed my Girlfriend? I looked it up because you mentioned it and now I regret every second of it.
Same way I felt when I checked out blood on the dance floor. It was a horrifying experience.
Because they need haters to make them famous. Bring back crunkcore baby!
havoren Please no. We don't need that garbage.
***** Oh, but we do! Bring back crunkcore for the haters mang! rawr :3
Gonna admit, its an awesome band namr
Don't forget that rawr means I love you in dinosaur.
Coming from an ex emo kid, a lot of these reasons are pretty valid. The fanbases were very childish. But musically, I was all about "All We Know Is Falling" by Paramore. (kind of my guilty pleasure to see you review this album btw)
I hate how the name of punk is being spoiled by pop punk bands such as fall out boy. And how the word "scene" is being spoiled by emos. They think they are edgy, against the grain, and better/different then everybody else, when it's actually a huge fad that millions of people are apart of. They are just as bad as trendy popular kids.
I'm a fan of Fall Out Boy, but I've never understood why people call them punk. Their first 3 albums and the PAX AM Days EP have punk influence, but they were never really a punk band. I still love the Hot Topic-y "POSER SELLOUT MUSIC" and hate elitists, but it makes me cringe whenever someone calls Fall Out Boy a punk band. Especially nowadays, where any punk influence they had has been flushed down the toilet.
"I wish my grass was emo so it would cut itself" HAHAHAHA, I'm dying
As a Brit who started getting into rock/metal/alternative music in the early 2000's I can tell you that the word 'trendies' was only used to describe fans of mainstream music, fashion and culture.
From how I understand it, emo started out in the late 80's underground as emotional hardcore. This started as just a lyrical theme in hardcore but then developed it's own sound when they started experimenting with softer elements common in alt-rock and prog resulting in a sound that combined raw energy & aggression with a lighter heart (hence giving it an 'emotional' sound). Eventually it became more about the music than the lyrics. Then into the 2000's, the words emo and screamo (which basically just meant those bands who leaned closer to hardcore and therefore screamed more than they sung) were thrown around mercilessly to describe any music that contained emotional lyrics or screaming respectively, as well as the culture/fashion that emerged at that time that surrounded the initial genre. This resulted in the term 'post-hardcore' being coined to distinguish the actual emo/screamo genre from the fake stuff. Metalcore, at least in the early 2000's started incorporating post-hardcore elements which is why it has a large 'emo' following. As for the dreaded crunkcore genre, these are simply bands that started combining elements of post-hardcore, electronic and hip hop musically as well as in their fashion. This single handedly triggered the scene kid style. Sorry for that essay haha.
I was in 8th grade when Asking Alexandria got big. I didn't even know they were a band at first I thought it was just a clothing brand (LOL) until one day I asked someone what they listened to and they said "asking Alexandria" and I went home, checked them out, got through about 30 seconds of the song before shutting it off.
xD rawr!
Why 😂🔫
It means I love u in dinosaur RAWR xD
raawwrrr!!!! x3 OuO~
+Blackmetal fan666 makes me wanna put my Mosin nagant in my mouth and pull the trigger... But only after I take about 20 emo/scene kids with me. Love the avatar by the way but I prefer under the sign of the black mark
+Bridie Shaw no, it's "rawr xD" the other way around
emo = rites of spring, embrace, sunny day real estate
Screamo/skramz = orchid, pageninetynine, saetia
MattDodge Fitness yes!
I would love to see a 5 Reasons People Hate VANZ Warped Tour video THAT would be a lot of fun to watch IMO
I've never really embraced the culture, but I have become a BVB fan. Until about a year ago I hated anything heavy at all, but then I started listening to Skillet and then Black Veil Brides, which led to a year in the toilet of internet fandoms. A few months ago I started getting more into Metallica and then folk metal bands. Right now I'm beginning to explore a little deeper into folk and related metal subgenres, figure out what I'm doing and discover more music. I still like BVB but I barely listen to them, it's just not heavy enough anymore (coming from a kid who listened to country and hated Skillet)The internet emos/scenes are annoying and cringeworthy, but I've never had to deal with the actual culture in person, so I can't comment on that.
+Call Me Rose hey it's all good. The series will no doubt touch on BVB at some point, so just be aware. It's meant to be laid back and just fun, so those who take this stuff super seriously are wasting their breath.
Keep on checking stuff out! As a music fan, you're doing yourself favor after favor giving new things a try! Even if I review something badly, try it! My cup of tea may not be yours and vice versa. It's all for the good of music, so we all win.
Thanks for the comment!
i only like a few songs from bvb, their fans are KINDA douchy but i like em cuz they DO have talent
+coverkillernation Yes yes, certainly. I tend not to take offense, so I look forward to watching these videos whether I agree or disagree!
I will, I will! Discovering new music is great, I tend to give anything a fair chance, even Unicorns Made My Ears Bleed.
No problem man, and thank you for answering it, I didn't expect you to(I would have replied sooner but I saw it on my phone and then never got around to it).
Omg, skillet is my favorite band.
Most of us were like you in the beginning. I personally got into Metal when I picked up Blizzard of Ozz when I was 9. Since then, I've progressed into heavier music while keeping the bands that I started out with in high regards. You'll most likely do the same until you set some clear boundaries with your taste. However, it's important to keep an open mind when exploring this ever-expansive and welcoming genre.
"It's not a fashion statement, it's a deathwish"
-my chemical romance
Kek
Great fucking album, though.
Emo is just like any other genre, meaning there's some great stuff to come out of it (My Chemical Romance, Paramore,
early Fall Out Boy). But a lot of it is also unoriginal and formulaic. But this goes for any genre (grunge, disco, hair metal, ext.)
My friend Leo hates My Chemical Romance so much that he forces me to watch this critique on emo/scene music. Leo listens to Faith No more and nu metal and I never criticize his taste. Coverkillernation's critique was not as insulting as my friends are.
The reason I like My Chemical Romance is because the band was a rebellion against 9/11 and the deceptive media.
"It's not a fashion statement, it is a death wish" is the climax of the 2nd album 3 cheers for sweet revenge. It expressed the idea of revenge with the theme of coming back from the dead but a key change 2/3rds they way through the song reveals the revenge is driven by love. The song is unique because it has no chorus or refrain. This song/album relates to 9/11 by having the audience experience a desire for revenge but eventually realizing a war will not be fulfilling.
To help people with 9/11 and their thirst for blood My Chemical Romance knowingly and willingly paints themselves as a target and "thank you for the venom".
Skylines and turnstyles was My Chemical Romance's first song and it is about us losing our "heart" or ability to sympathize by watching terrorism. Their last song was "Sing" which was their only song licensed to the mainstream media. It was the opening song for American Idol and was performed on Glee. My Chemical Romance disbanded after Glen Beck pieced the song together which indicated that white people did 9/11.
My Chemcial Romance is labeled as emo/scene/scream-o but the whole theme was to not go to war after 9/11.
I feel passionate about MCR and 9/11 because I felt betrayed when the discovery channel and national geographic channel released their documentaries on 9/11 calling anyone who doesn't believe in the official story a conspiracy theorist. Before the documentary my family believed for 3 months that extra energy was needed to turn the buildings into dust. After 45 minutes they believed I was a conspiracy theorist. I even explained that the documentaries didn't use deductive reasoning but rather ad hominim attacks and ever since no one in my family trust ANYTHING that I say. Yet I say the same thing to "emo/scene/scream-o" girls and I am invited to after parties and massaged. One girl kissed me on my lips.
What.......did I just read???
mcr are not a emo band, they are punk influenced alt rock. emo is a different thing all together, that came outta Washington dc around 33 years ago, and it slowly branched off between the more hardcore style emo, such as screamo, and what some call indie or midwest emo, which made some mainstream success in the 90s, listen all the bands you think are emo, really arent emo bands like mcr,fallout boy, panic and all that crap, is mostly just pop punk or alt rock
My head hurts
mcr are fucking dogshit
WHY DO SCENE KIDS INVADE METALCORE AND DEATHCORE THEY DON'T REALLY LIKE THE MUSIC :'(
I cri
Yeah true
Metalcore/deathcore is actually a great way to bridge and emo/post-hardcore fan into more extreme music. That was the case with me: I was listening to Finch, Silverstein, etc. in high school, found bands like Whitechapel and Thy Art As Murder, and that was a gateway for bands I like now like Ingested, Devourment, and Cattle Decap.
Id say its cause early 2000s Metalcore. Alot of it was very emo
Scene kids are fucking posers and stuck up like hell. Used to know alot.
Alternative myself although got an ‘emo’ fringe...
Clarification: screamo was originally an offshoot of emo, grindcore and hardcore punk and was pioneered by bands like Orchid, In/Humanity, Hot Cross, Pageninetynine, City of Caterpillar and Circle Takes the Square in the late 90s. It was an extremely aggressive, extremely edgy and undeniably emotional genre. What's called screamo now is pretty much horrible without exception, but I recommend you go check out some of that older stuff as it's quite good.
*when your whole class is also emo and you basically have a flash mob of of mice and men or you me at six because you started listening to it*
Great video CKN, I won't pretend that I don't like some modern " emo" music, because, I do. I like the production quality and the sound that comes. With good production quality. Most of the people I went to high school with( class of 2013 graduate) were into garbage pop/"country" badness. I tried explaining why they should listen to Jawbreaker and the like, but apparently that's not what emo is anymore.
There's this popular emo band from Japan called ONE OK ROCK and I think they are the best "emo band" since 2010.
consider them alt rock but many Japanese rock bands have a "emo"fanbase in the U.S...great band though
DraygonVenus they are not emo
not emo
It takes a certain kind of person to identify with "scene"
I was listening to Overkill and a girl told me
Her: I didn't know you listen to death metal
Me: yeah 😐
Who cares what she said? And it's good that you were jamming some Overkill. That's music to run over emos to
Man us Metalheads are so misunderstood lol. And which song? I’m a huge fan of them
American football and weezer were the first kind of bands to have that emotional type of feel
scene and emo is almost dead anyways. From my perspective there are not many of them left, except for the handful of people I knew in school who just never grew out of it. most of the scene kids who are my age and are still kicking around have my full respect. And not just because I had a crush on all the damn scene chicks back when I was a kid, but also because they just never gave it up 5 years later as some "silly trend". I think lots of scene/emo people have proved themselves in this last decade without even noticing, they have shown a lot of us that it is not some adolescent trend and It is indeed a way of life for them. Sure, I spent my junior high days in 2008 hating on emo as a general movement and wishing it would acquire a slow painful death But those of us who are part of the generation that originated the culture are basically all in our 20's, and seeing that scene/emo is still alive makes me realize that we are still young, even those fun days fucking around in school seem like they are long gone there are still bits and pieces here and there reminding us that it really wasn't that long ago. I hope scene and emo stays alive forever. I hope when I am an old man there are still those cool chicks I used to know with the same attitude and outlook on life. This is certainly the case for rock and roll, so why not for scene and emo?
Sincerely - A young adult metalhead who had too much fun in the 2000's and wanted to bang all the scene chicks
As one of the, I assume, young teens that watches this channel, I have had a group of friends that were much like this. Obviously, I did sometimes feel like I'm the only one within the circle of friends who was kind of the odd ball, not only was I energetic and happy as shit, but I also am usually never caught listening to this kind of music, with the exceptions of some old pop punk and Twenty One Pilots. I also tried to actively avoid it unless I'm forced to. For example, twice in my Rock n Roll Academy class at school, I was forced to listen to a Pierce The Veil and Black Veil Brides song, on separate days of course. They didn't hurt my ears, unlike you, but it was meh and left as such. Then a similar thing happened in my technology class where a friend of mine subjected me to listen to a Falling In Reverse song, it had many parts to it, I thought that was interesting especially since, Post-Hardcore, but it again, wasn't nearly the best thing I've ever listened to.
now emo is actually a good genre of music, i'm referring to emotional hardcore rather than this crunkcore edm scene shit though, i would take touché amoré or la dispute over blood on the dance floor any day lol
ian bledsoe yes!
Nope. Still gay.
I love how people who don't listen to metal refer to it as screamo x/
I hate when I play death metal and people call it screamo
unknown normies calls death metal screamo music
I'm a big fan of early 2000s Post-Hardcore/Screamo/Whatever its Supposed to be Called. Those types of bands (Thrice, Alexisonfire, Glassjaw, Underoath, etc) were a big reason why I got into heavier music. While the music of the Post-Grunge/Alt Metal bands that dominated rock radio at the time was technically heavier, the Post-Hardcore bands used harsh vocals far more often and it was appealing. Unfortunately, the later "scene" bands took the music in a direction I didn't care for. Bands were just trying to put as many breakdowns as they could in each song. I'm much more into metal now and the only newer Post-Hardcore/Screamo bands I'm really interested in now are Marmozets and Issues (HUGE guilty pleasure of mine).
Problem is everyone sees emos as depressed idiots who cut themselves which is not the case at all
I write arms races not fashion statements I'm emo and a metalhead, thank you for that comment.
I was a kid so I didn't even know what emo was
I grew out of the "emo" phase but I haven't grown out of some bands I used to listen to.
The first emo band was Rites of Spring, not Fugazi. Screamo was an actual genre at one time, extremely intense hardcore bands like Orchid and Pg. 99 pioneered it.
Also, Emo was called Emotive Hardcore at one point.
This video is pretty funny and on - point so props and keep up the good work mate. I do like a lot of older emo but so much of it just makes me want to listen to Drive Like Jehu. I would definite recommend listening to Yank Crime by them if you want to get a grasp of some older but inventive 'post-hardcore'.
"you can't go out 'cause your roots are showing, dye 'em black.."

Well that's gothic metal and that's different (and ok)
Nellson Stout "Black n.1" is just a reference to kind of a goth girl who was...well her looks were the most important her...
+skypjuh that seems like quite a few goth girls. Do goths still enjoy type o negative like they used to?
Nellson Stout idk I think I can safely say that I don't know any goths(not anymore)
My progression into metal started when I was a kid. Seeing as I'm 19 I'm not old to have experienced classic rock when it was popular, but I grew up with my parents listening to it. So I listened to it too. And I liked it a lot. After I had spent so long listening to classic rock that I got sick of it, I found Ozzy and started listening to classic metal. Then I found grunge and nü metal. I loved grunge and I only liked a few nü metal bands (mostly Korn) but those drove me into heavier and heavier music until I found myself at the front door of heavy metal. Now I love listening to heavy metal and many of its subgenres.
Fucking SAME
I am a classically trained musician who listens to both bands like Taking back Sunday, Pierce the Veil and Bring me the Horizon and bands like Slayer and Cattle Decapitation, and I have to say bands like Unicorns Killed my Girlfriends and botdf completely ruin the music. I can listen to the most whiny songs Tbs makes 100 times before anything by the "edgy" "trust us we are cool" scene bands.
Back in the day an ex of mine got me into Bullet for My Valentine, which I'm pretty sure fits more into thrash than anything else. Either way Bullet helped get me into metal and I still go back to their Scream. Aim. Fire. Album from time to time. Some good jams on that one.
Don't look at emo music like it's Scenecore. American Football, Brand New, Owen, and others are amazing and they don't fall under the stereotypes of scenecore or "emo" because thats not what it is
The album "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me" by Brand New is emo and it's one of the most beautifully written music I've ever heard
pretty sure emotional music has more substance than pop music about dancing
That description nearly killed me because I couldn't breathe from laughing. Where did you find that?
As Phil Anselmo would say:
"THE TREND IS DEAD!!!!!!!"
Truth be told, I do like a fair share of emo/former emo bands.
i miss the old school emo shit. from Fugazi, to Hawthorne Heights, to Brand New, to Citizen which we have now.
I personally feel this emo/scene culture faded out of relevancy around the mid-2010s with the decline of groups like Asking Alexandria, BVB, and FIR who had very close ties with the emo/scene culture towards the turn of the decade. At this point, I feel all that's left of emo/scene culture is memes and selfies. Maybe it's because I'm 20 and get to choose what I see on a regular basis but that's just my opinion. Living in NYC, it seems the younger generation concerns more with radio pop, Drake, and mumble rap. Besides, Drake basically makes emo hip-hop for people who want to be popular but lowkey emo at the same time. Just my two cents.
Ooga Booga Matthew RamRoop I was gonna say the exact same thing.
There were scene and emo kids everywhere during my last year of middle school and throughout high school and by the time I finally graduated and started college four years ago, it's as if these kinds of people just disappeared. Absolutely no traces of them anywhere on campus and if there were, they probably ditched the way they looked in high school so they could appear more civil, at least that's the way I see it.
Josh Rudy try living here in Miami, I would be told that shit by a few people all the time back when I was in high school, except instead of saying emo, they call it screamo
Can you do top 5 reasons why people hate Rage Against the Machine, Deftones, System of a Down, Papa Roach, Mudvayne, Coal Chamber, Crazy Town, Alien Ant Farm, P.O.D., Dope, Staind and Static-X?
Sometimes I feel like some emo bands arent given the credit they deserve. Yeah there is ALOT of corny and whiny bands within the genre. But personally, I see emo as perfect gateway to get INTO metal and hardcore music. Honestly, if it wasnt for Bring Me The Horizon I dont think I ever would have gotten into bands such as Between The Buried And Me, Fallujah, In Flames, Death, and soo many others. Matter of fact, I first discovered Death because Oli Sykes of BMTH was wearing a DEATH t-shirt in the music video sleepwalking. So I though "That cool shirt, are they a band or something?" So I looked them up and I fell in love with Symbolic and Leprosy. Also Silverstein is actually a great band to get into kick ass hardcore bands such as Comeback Kid, Counterparts, LetLive, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, and soo many others. Also I know a diehard black metal chick who listens to Enslaved, Carach Angran, Mayhem, and ect. But her gateway band was Black Veil Brides. Also My Chemical Romance, helped me get into their kickass influences such as The Smashing Pumpkins and The Cure.
Whenever people say "EMO RUINED METAL AND PUNK" but honestly in my honest opinion emo is a perfect gateway genre to get into the real serious shit.
Silentwolfx84 same here dude. Emo got me more into metal
Another reason I think why people hate emo music and culture besides his reasons is because of the Jeff the killer shit and the emo spin off characters and some of the other bad creepypasta characters and stories and how some of the fan girls or fan boys act over negative comments about those characters or stories just saying
Elementary school memories.... :) Never been interested in such music but we had a lot of emo kids back then, in mid 2000s.
Metal is Art. Emo/Scene is not. Period!
+Raphael Herter nirvana is art. F.F is art
True, true. But that crappy Emo BS is not Art. Not at all.
Raphael Herter the music is ok at times but for me it's the fans
Alright. I may agree with you there. Yeah the fans.....think they're the hardest People on the Planet. But that's the same thing with Hard Rock and Metal. As for me, i just listen to the Music, i dont support the Ideology.
same i just listen to music
There’s Post Hardcore with Screaming like Used and Hawthorne are good because it uses the scream sparingly in comparison. But what pisses me off about the team it’s that it’s considered an umbrella term for music with screaming (like Metal, Hardcore, etc.)
I used to be emo... I became a mod luckily. Although my friends still mock me because of my emo phase haha
People used to think i was back when i was 13 because I wore black band shirts and my naturally straight hair grew into a fringe. These shirts included System of a Down, Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Foo Fighters, and The Used (bought at thrift store having only listened to the transformers song). I cut the fringe out of frustration with these accusations. Now I have an amazing Bill Steer mane.
Wait... Is it 2011?
+Adam it was a better year, so why not.
coverkillernation so true lol
I'm emo, and I don't want the subculture to die out. 😭
Janemba n buu arc could work as akira already said they were "friends".
Emo back then- actual sad music
Emo now- post-hardcore music
i don't mind the bands out there, i just hate the edgy kids
Scene isn't a genre and didn't emerge from music like emo did. Scene just got mixed up with emo because of the fashion.
However scene kids did like music and it was things like pop punk, metalcore, deathcore, crunkcore, epectronic. Their music wasn't focused on emotions or depression. Bands like Black Veil Brides had nothing to do with emo, they started as metalcore then changed to glam, hard rock and heavy metal sounds. People just looked at how they dreesed and assumed that makes them emo. Some electronic duo named Blood on the Dance Floor were scene but were being confused for emo as scene had a similar dress style.
The emo that people hated was emo pop from the 2000's and many don't know the emo from 80's, 90's. Screamo was already a thing but what people called screamo, wasn't screamo and what was screamo, wasn't known unless you were into it. Bands like Orchid, Pageninetynine, Saetia, City of Caterpillar are screamo. Emo unlike scene came from music and was from the hardcore scene that wanted to get away from the violence at the time. Their music was more emotional which earned the name emo. Though songs had been emotional before emo existed and emotional songs still exist in every genre.
Real emos are very very inclusive. Its the mall emos that aren't. Those are thr ones that are a phase. Real ones like me I'm 24 been emo for 11 years now and I'm not stopping XD
xXVexi_SkyeXx:
Same but more alternative than emo.
Im gunna shed my opinion on this subject ive always been called emo since high school im 22 now and i still get called it occasionally but most of my music is metal from sabby to while she sleeps to flesh god and the only screamo band ive ever enjoyed is senses fail and i dress the way i dress due to comfortablity and it fits me so i continue dressing like i walked out of an anime book im sorry if affend anyone for my style i just feel happy dressing this way ^^
I used to listen to lots of emo music and was really emo about a year back. Now I'm more of a gothic metalhead. I still enjoy emo music but I'm not really emo.
It irritates me people confuse emotive hardcore with post hardcore, pop punk, and metalcore
I don't mind them it's just they will bully you if you say whats with hair not in a rude way but just asking nicely or anything that questions there appearance just a little bit but some of them are nice.
Am I the only one who just doesn't understand the hate towards emo culture at all? I listen to Asking Alexandria, Pierce The Veil, and a couple Black Veil Brides songs, but I also love Megadeth, Aborted, Candlemass, Cattle Decapitation, etc. My style would probably be a cross between emo and normal everyday dress.
I'm being serious. Can someone explain exactly what it is they hate about the hot topic type emo people?
***** The way I see it, it's just another way of growing up. Think back to when you were a kid (or maybe you still are) and think about some of the things you did when you were confused or when you were trying to find yourself and your way in life. A lot of those things were probably perceived by others as annoying right? You may even look back on these moments and think you were stupid for having acted that way.
That's how I view emo culture. While it's not a phase for everyone, it's a phase for most. People can find themselves in any scene they find themselves in. Emo, metal, punk, hip-hop, country, etc. I don't think growing up in any one scene makes you better or worse than anyone else.
***** It must be that the only emo people you know are annoying? Not every emo person is like that, and an entire culture/subculture shouldn't be defined as a whole by the actions of a few, even though this happens all too often.
No, that wasn't an insult, I just wasn't sure if you were an adult or not. How old are you?
***** No problem
That's kinda cool tho you can go from PTV to Cattle Decap. Quite a variety there 😂
I fucking love your channel.
And I like a lot of old rock music and one day I was listening to it loud and someone a friend of mine said why do you like emo music and I thought how is Alice Cooper or kiss or quiet riot or motley crue emo exactly they aren't they are old hard rock n roll
when i was a part of that scene, one horrible fuckin part of it was some other kids were just completely IMMATURE and so damn childish.. like jesus christ. ya, middle school and ages around that age are immature, childish and annoying, but my GOD some took it to another level.
There's no scene music I enjoy but there's definitely some emo music I really like (although most their fans are rather unbearable). I don't care what groups a certain genre is associated with. As long as it sounds good, it's cool with me.
And they procclaim themselves as real metal. 😒
1:41 Holy shit dude, I just spat my pancakes all over my screen!
There also seems to be a lot of older lads going out with younger girls in my area within the emo culture, like 17 year old lads saying they love 13 year olds. It's fucking odd
Former emo kid here, now I am a Punk Rocker
You should do five reasons people hate creepypasta
Cupid Stunt and yeah true
I love the emo/scene music & culture I'm all about it but I'm also very diverse and about more extreme music and culture such as death metal and I need both to balance it out to make me a complete person
The emo subculture has gotten a pretty bad wrap. Really I feel emo shouldn't have started to exist, not because of the bands. But because Emo is technically short for emotional but shouldn't all music be technically emotional? Music is supposed to help you feel. If you really take a listen to things like Panic At The Disco (no, I'm not putting the !,fucking deal with it.) Most of their (his) music consists of sexual related topics or drug related topics and the same thing with Blood On The Dance Floor. How Panic ever became considered emo I will never fully know. Seeing it's damn near pop, I've nothing against pop, but it's hard to take something like Avenged Sevenfold (unwillingly thrown into this culture mind you) and say they're a part of the same sub-genre of Panic At The Disco. Panic along with My Chemical Romance tend to kinda suffer from that fan-base that dismisses anyone who prefers something other than that as an absolute suck ass and that the "emo" bands they listen to are the most talented in the world. I get it, Brendon has a high vocal range and is "attractive"(even though music should be about the MUSIC, not the artists). Doesn't mean people have to completely jump my case for it not being my one hundred percent favourite thing in the world. Really I feel alot of the more popular/softer emo bands are so teenage girls can feel "edgy". I've also noticed the fans decide if a band is emo? Wtf? Shouldn't the band decide who they are? I mean you appeal to who you appeal to there's no Changing that. If you form a band and for some reason all the emo kids love it. It's gonna be called emo. And I find that kinda sad.. that's sorta like walking up to a musician and saying "hey, you're (inset culture and sub-genre)" and then them not having any say in it.
And finally, music shouldn't have a fashion. It Should be music. That's it. If the music is good enough you shouldn't have to dress up for it.
I'm sorry Cover Killer for inserting this long ass paragraph of me rambling my opinions. I love your videos and how you're not so narrow minded like certain other metalheads.
Also no. Metal and Emo don't have much to do with each other anymore.
If unicorns killed your girlfriend you should be put in a nervous hospital
Well i still like some of it, personally i like falling in reverse :/
I used to love KoRn, Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, etc. That was my "emo" music, Jon Davis would freakin cry on some songs. Luckily I discovered traditional heavy metal and side-stepped emo altogether. I've never understood the attraction, the music just doesn't sound good to me.
Its not just a fashion statement, its a fashion statement for mostly 15-20 year olds.
*nuzzles chu* :3 xD *rawr*
Biggest reason for not listening to SCENE/EMO music....only kids like it and kids are idiots. Here's to hoping a small percentage of them will actually grow up to become reasonable adults :P
I actually checked out unicorns killed my girlfriend... Fuck my life I am glad I cut my hair short.
I'm emo and I fucking hate bands like blood on the dance floor, brokencyde and unicorns killed my girlfreind. I really wish they weren't considered emo.
Black metal,thrash metal,death metal,is what i listen too
I actually like some emo (or emo associated) bands. In fact, Black Veil Brides was the first band that got me into hard rock/heavy metal. But yeah, just like almost any fanbase, the emos themselves are cringy. Like, faking depression ain't cool man.
It's not a fashion statement it's a fucking death wish
I like them emos and scenes I think there cool
Emo began in the 80s, and there are plenty of emo bands left.
It is fading as fast as your hairline
1. Most scene music is shit lyrically. But its really fun poppy shit with generic lyrics or its fun party songs again with generic lyrics. Hell I'm writing scene songs cause there fun and also for a spoof scene band working title "alt. Star"
2. Emo music like all music that gets popular is band to have bad songs. The genre itself was flooded with bands that it fell apart do to lack of quality. It became quantity over quality. Though good emo bands are still found (shameless promo) like my band "loves last breath" (you can find us on youtube and Facebook).
3. With everything comes a stigma. You just have to learn to say fuck it and be yourself :3
(Btw your rawring is cute XD)
xXVexi_SkyeXx:
I hate stereotypes tbh, can’t stand mainstream garbage such as bvb or mcr.
I just watched the music video of Problem-Unicorns Killed my Girlfirend and God dammit I wanted to forget about it but nooooooo
I like a good amount of the music until the age of when it turned from pop punk/post hardcore to metal core/post hardcore
I've have friends who went through the emo face and I hated it like I've never been emo and probably will never be but the emo culture in general thinking that live is meaningless r u fucking kidding me life is a beautiful thing sure it has its ups and downs but u don't have to be a total douchbag about it and with the emo music it made it worse!!! I mean come on man just enjoy life!!
