Alright im in class now. Im constintly looking to make sure the teacher is coming near, so my mind is scattered when I write and it may not come out what I mean. Mr. Johnny Fever, we wear these clothes b/c theyre not fashionable. Theyre cheap and you can find them anywhere, unlike, say Abercrombie or Gap. We think its retarded to laugh at another person b/c their clothes aren't as expensive. So yes we do have a certain type of clothes we wear. But we dont ridicule you b/c what you wear isn't the fashion. Thats the idea around our clothes.

Ah, but they are fashionable. Have you ever seen a Gap commercial on television (oh wait, lemme guess...you're above watching tv)? Messy hair, nerd glasses, corduroys, etc. If you really wanted to wear something that was cheap and you could find in thrift stores everywhere, you'd all be wearing tapered cuff acid-washed jeans, Polo-style knit shirts, and canvas boat shoes. I've yet to see an emo kid sporting some 14-year-old "Hammer" pants, but I'll buy that gue a drink when I do.

Don't tell me you're not going for a certain, highly manicured style.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 26 March 2004 17:40 (twenty years ago) link

Mr. Johnny Fever you have the right idea. if there were more people like us there would be no gay emo crap.

Robert willcutt, Friday, 26 March 2004 17:55 (twenty years ago) link

Good job Mr. Fever. You got me. Here's my response. There is such a thing as posuers in this world. An Emo kid shopping at the Gap is like calling rap music. It's an oxymoron. It doesn't fit. Gap took up Emo as a marketing technique. A true emo wouldn't be caught dead there. However there ARE emo kids who do. You dont have to wear the clothes to be emo. And vice versa. Heres a fun thing to check out. www.emogame.com. In game two they actually make fun of Gap. What are the odds? Its pretty accurate on all aspects of the genre/clothes/ and complete style of Emo's. Play it. Just make sure mommy and daddy aren't in the room as you do.

shut up dillon
emo sucks and it always will!

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:04 (twenty years ago) link

Robert you're not giving me facts. At least Johny Fever did and thats why I congratulated him. Give me facts and reasoning to back up what you think and you wont come off as ignorant as you are.

Dillon, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:07 (twenty years ago) link

Alright dillon here are your facts of how crapy emo is.
1. Emo is emotional and slow most of the time. you hear the music on soap operas.
2. Emo is one of the least listened to music besides classic and the blues.
3.(there could be alot more) Emo is so stuid people dont go to concerts to listen to people who sing on how crapy there life is! i mean come on people

Robert Willcutt, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:09 (twenty years ago) link

A true emo wouldn't be caught dead there

It's as if you can actually feel your brain cell dying off.

(a fitting typo)

bnw (bnw), Friday, 26 March 2004 19:56 (twenty years ago) link

I don't know why I'm bothering, I just wanted to say in some places, like NYC, it's cheaper and easier to buy your clothes at the gap then it is to go to the freaking salvation army and try to find some cool t-shirt, because all the cool emo t-shirts have been bought by designer types to sell for 80 bucks at little boutiques in nolita.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 26 March 2004 20:21 (twenty years ago) link

damn. looking at this thread for the first time...
never thought i'd see a band palatka mentioned here.
rad.

unovis, Friday, 26 March 2004 23:16 (twenty years ago) link

What i dont understand is why even like emo.
the lyrics are so stupid and corny.
Dillon doesnt dress emo because he knows it looks stupid.
he wont admit it though.
he dresses like a want to be skater.
dont listen to him he doesnt know what he is talking about.
emo will always suck because of the way they act, dress, sing and realy who would listen to them.

Robert Willcutt, Monday, 29 March 2004 16:09 (twenty years ago) link

Robert, Robert, Robert. First of all, obviously some one likes emo, b/c here I am, wasting time to argue on this pointless thread about Emo. Most people who dont like Emo, dont really know what it is. Obviously (by your posts) you fall into that category. You cant even name three emo bands off the top of your head. You especially wont hear emo in soap operas. And it definatly is not slow. Try Dead Poetic ::Gasp!:: or Brand New (the songs on Your Favorite Weapon) If you call 70*7 or Jude Law slow your an idiot. And by the way, Classical is one of the most listened to genres because of the elder population and the fact that it is the oldest genre. Name your 5 favorite bands.

Dillon, Monday, 29 March 2004 16:19 (twenty years ago) link

Dillon people are because they dont like emo or just stumbled in. As an earlier man said emo corrupts kids. Emo bands are freaked out, seriously they play underground music so they can sing stupid lyrics and smoke pot and coke and weed and others. the only reason people like them is because they are high. Some people like it but are usualy depressed all the time punk rock people isnt that bad.

Alright dillon you want my favorite bands, they are the Unseen, The Virus, Metalica, Black Sabbath, and Three days Grace.

Robert Willcutt, Monday, 29 March 2004 16:32 (twenty years ago) link

And Dillon, I cant name 3 emo bands off the top of my head because i hate emo i dont listen to it much any way

Robert Willcutt, Monday, 29 March 2004 16:36 (twenty years ago) link

in fact all of you go out now and go to unseenpunks.com or viruspunks.com and buy a cd and you shall learn how good they are.

Robert Willcutt, Monday, 29 March 2004 16:37 (twenty years ago) link

"Angry Nerd Rock"
What kind of song is that.
Ill tell you, gay ataris or altaris i dont know but it is gay emo!

BRAND NEW LYRICS

"Seventy Times 7"

Back in school they never taught us
what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair
of someone breakin your heart
For twelve years I've held it all together
but a night like this is beggin to pull me apart
I played it quiet left you deep in conversation
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen
I remember I kept thinking
that I know you never would
And now I know I want to kill you
like only a best friend could

Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...

As if it happening wasn't enough
I got to go and write a song
just to remind myself how bad it sucked
Ignore the sun, covers over my head
Wrote a message on my pillow that says
"Jesse, stay asleep in bed"
Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!)
Search your shelf for something which to hang yourself
They say you need to pray
if you want to go to heaven
But they don't tell you what to say
when your whole life has gone to Hell!

Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...

So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation
And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever

Is that what you call a getaway?!!
Tell me what you got away with!!
Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish!!
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids!!
Have another drink and drive yourself home!!
I hope there's ice on all the roads!!
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
then when your head goes through the windshield!!

(I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...
(I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...

this is a song from a emo band (maybe a snatch of the song not sure)but review it and you decide i think it is stuupid.

Robert Willcutt, Monday, 29 March 2004 16:47 (twenty years ago) link

Take that Dillon emo nerd!

Robert Willcutt, Monday, 29 March 2004 16:48 (twenty years ago) link

Dude, that's just bad pop punk. PS - THE UNSEEN SUCK

Lil' Won Jilliams (ex machina), Monday, 29 March 2004 17:32 (twenty years ago) link

man dont go saying the unseen suck unless you even know who they are!

robert willcutt, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:15 (twenty years ago) link

Alright i did some research and according to dillon brand new is emo along with the ataris or altaris i dont know. But what is emo, just crapy punk rock kids who are emotional. And the person who said the unseen suck please prove it. if the unseen realy do suck that means you probably dont like punk rock and if you dont like punk rock you should listen more and you probably will like it.

Robert Willcutt, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:19 (twenty years ago) link

dillon before you type something you should look how many bands are emo and how many are punk rock. you will find that there maybe more emo bands but there nothing but two bit garage band who have never been booked for a concert

Robert Willcutt, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 16:07 (twenty years ago) link

Thank you Robert for your machine gun responses. To explain to everyone here, Robert and I are in the same computer class. Robert saw that I was about to "reveal" to him that not only emo bands have sappy lyrics, when he tok my tactic and used it against me. So here it goes. You used 70*7 against me so I will tell you why it is such a great song lyrically. The Title for one is just an amazing analogy. This song is about pure hatred for this girl. Ice on the roads, forgetting your seatbelt. no tact. Then the title is a reference to a Bible verse saying you should forgive your neighbor 70*7 times. There are a lot more things in the verse I could point out, but for time wise Im going to skip to the end. Firt of all, heres the verse I was talking about:
So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield

Those are great lyrics in themselves. Here are some other ones:
Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation

Your as subtle as a brick in the small of my back? Who makes that analogy? Most people dont know what that is then to compare it to someone.

Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever

Left the frays from the ties you severed. It just shows his songwriting intelligence. You have to admit that lyrically this song was well put together if you like emo or not. If you don't think this song is well put together then you just dont like it because of your prejudice to emo and you need to rethink how you veiw emos.

YOUR FAILURE IS MY REVENGE

(lyrics and music: Tripp)

.

Go

You say stand up for your rights

But you fall for all their lies

You Claim to know the truth

While wearing a cheap disguise

Who are you to judge us, don't tell

Us how to live our lives

The real world's outside your door,

It's gonna open your eyes

Go..

Real life is coming gonna wipe

The smile from your face

You'll be left chocking, gagging

On reality's bitter taste

Won't talk down to others when

You're living on your knees

Slowly the hate sets in it

Consumes you like a disease

.

Oh your failure (failure) is my revenge.

Life's gonna catch up with you in the end

.

this world you've built is fragile,

It's all gonna come crashing down

And when your world collapses,

I only pray that I'm around

To see the look on your face,

The hurt, hollow, and blank stare

Of a person who just realized

That no one ever cared

Hey dillon here are some lyrics and i didnt steal your "tactic" you just say that because i shot down your gay emo crap!

Robert Willcutt, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 16:31 (twenty years ago) link

dillon only listen to garge bands. go to purevolume.com and you all will see!

Robert Willcutt, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 16:33 (twenty years ago) link

aw look. you stole my website. anyways all you guys go to that site. a lot of those bands rock.

Dillon, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 16:42 (twenty years ago) link

these are not machine gun responces. i am just trying to enlighten every1 to punk rock, heavy metal, rock and roll.and dillon emo is not punk. and the warp tour, even good charlotte beet the altaris to the list!

Robert Willcutt, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 16:44 (twenty years ago) link

Alright lil won williams what is your favorite band you ho with no taste for music.


dillon and i are arguing about if emo is a part of American culture.
it is not it is shunned and it probably came from europe. please, not many great bands came from europe except the sex pistols.

From now on if you have anything to say about how crapy emo is email me because dillon will like attack you with emo gayness!

Robert Willcutt, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 16:51 (twenty years ago) link

Starts in DC in 1984/85 and goes strong, spreads to the SF Bay in 1989, then explodes all over the Midwest, Florida, and Northeast shortly thereafter.
--Taken from www.fourfa.com

it is not it is shunned and it probably came from europe.

nice. whatever happened to research?

And what about U2 man?

Dillon, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 16:53 (twenty years ago) link

and they smoke weed. So being emo will cause you to do suicide or drink too much and get hooked on drugs.

dillon says he knew the lostprophets before they went big. that is crap

Robert Willcutt, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 16:55 (twenty years ago) link

have you two ever heard of e-mail?

flightsatdusk (flightsatdusk), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 17:00 (twenty years ago) link

here's some lyrics for everyone:

my girls on the pill, so I can drill, and I don't have to kill, an unborn child, cuz that's buck wild.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 17:05 (twenty years ago) link

And what about U2 man?

Dude, U2 are totally emo. They are proto-emo. I'd say Live is the first real emo band. You try listening to "Lightening Crashes" without getting a lump in your throat (or somewhere [like, maybe your crotch!]).

MY FAVORITE BAND IS BOREDOMS. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I LISTENED TO ONLY PUNK ROCK AKA DEAD KENNEDYS, BLACK FLAG. ALL OF YOU ARE STUPID AND DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT PUNK HISTORY OBV. DO YOU KNOW WHO WIRE IS? NO, YOU'RE 15 AND STUPID.

Lil' Won Jilliams (ex machina), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 18:52 (twenty years ago) link

The only people who know who Wire is are rock critics.

Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Thursday, 1 April 2004 01:15 (twenty years ago) link

DUDE, I HAD NEVERMIND ON TAPE WHEN I WAS 8. BY THE TIME I WAS 14 I HAD PROGRESSED TO FREE-JAZZ AND KRAUTROCK. NOW I LISTEN EXCLUSIVELY TO THE ARCHIES AND OTHER PRE-FABRICATED CARTOON BANDS.

christhamrin (christhamrin), Thursday, 1 April 2004 01:35 (twenty years ago) link

the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 1 April 2004 02:26 (twenty years ago) link

DONT YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE ONLY REAL PUNK IS JANET JACKSON AND FUN POP WITH GROOVY FUNK. LONG LIV HILLAY DUFF AND BRITNEY SPERS. REAL PUNK IS FUNTIME GROOVE MUSC NOT MINOR THREAT BLACK FAG BASTARDS!

solomon, Thursday, 1 April 2004 02:36 (twenty years ago) link

Wire's "Kindey Bingo" song was on 120 Minutes, I remember seeing them play on there when I was 4, but I was a Chairs Missing guy then.

christhamrin (christhamrin), Thursday, 1 April 2004 03:57 (twenty years ago) link

"ear drum buzz" was a minor indie hit in aus, which is where i first heard em (i took notice 'cos my hero Bernard Sumner is in the vid)

the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 1 April 2004 04:02 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah maybe that was their single I was just making shit up, obv.

christhamrin (christhamrin), Thursday, 1 April 2004 04:19 (twenty years ago) link

kidney bingos was a single too tho

the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 1 April 2004 04:20 (twenty years ago) link

Alright here is a bunch of crap! how can you say that janet jackson is punk. she is some hipidy hop loser. punk is more along the line of the sex pistols and bands like that! And emo is like the ataris. and whoever said i was emo can go suck lama cock! I like punk rock and thats is it!
