Emo punks unite!

I just applied for an Emo Punks! group for those of us who get railed on the boards for liking bands such as Good Charlotte, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, Less than Jake, Saves the day, New Found Glory...

It would be a "safe haven" , to talk about your favorite Pop Punk/Emo bands and your favorite songs, lyrics, shows, videos and such.

Hopefully it will get approved, and people will join.

Neat.

I hope so, too.

yeah you guys need to unite, that shit's going the way of the butterchurn or ska

wait a sec... why the fuck is LTJ in there?

Because lots of people consider them pop-punk. Just like Goldfinger, Zebrahead, Reel Big Fish...

What does the word emo have to do with any of those bands?
What does the word punk have to do with a lot of those bands?

Don't throw together two half decent words to make a horrible label for even worse bands.....

sorry... it had to be said.... ....but only because you put Good Charlotte twice.

Yeah, I got a little excited about this group until I saw Good Charlotte on the list.

i always thought pop punk was replacements and husker du.....basically any band from MN...

you kids and your new genres...

This is EXACTLY why I wanted this group, which is why I said in my 1st post that people who like bands such as these, get railed on the boards for it.

Snotty, over opinionated, elitest music snobs make the music board NO FUN most of the time.

Music is totally played out and I'm over it.

I really dont think they were being "snobby elitist" I think they were just good naturely ribbing you about putting a name on the list twice...

I was joking.

And even if I wasn't... I don't care if you like those bands or not, have a time and a half liking them. Music is music, like what you like, hate what you hate... have fun while doing it all.
You can love your bands all you want, but saying those bands are "emo punk" ... that's silly.

And you put good charlotte twice... one right after the other no less, haha.

The funny thing is, I don't even like Good Charlotte.

re: boychucker

well I'm glad to see a group that will be there to discuss what I like. I like very old stuff to some new stuff and alot in-between. I would fuck any MF up that tried to call me a poser. I been round alot longer than alot of kids that like to shoot down pplz music choices..so I've earned my right to like everything I do..so there

but... but...

SKA!

Cherie, Im not a fan of the music, but I back you up completely. Fuck these goddam music nazis. They think theyre so fucking cool because they can draw accurate topographical maps of the Ramones' backyards or some other shit like that.

Fuck them. You go Cherie, you go!

snort...Joey Ramone didn't HAVE a backyard...snort...puhlease

Okay, I take back my previous post. Thanks for saying it.

Not to be an elitist asshole... I've just never in my life heard GC, LtJ, or NFG (you're missing Sum 41) ever referred to as emo. They're warmed over Blink 182, which is warmed over Green Day, which is warmed over Ramones. Notice how the whiney-voice quotient has increased with each new punk generation?

If you hear the word pop-punk and the the Ramones aren't the first band that pops into your head, you've got some serious problems. Close runners up that might be included are the Boys, the Undertones, and possibly the Buzzcocks.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I like the term screamo, its more definitive.
