i thought that emo was a subset of indie. i don't hate either of those categories. i hate people who think that everyone else is conforming except for them. i still don't know what "emo" is really, we don't have emos in nz. we have indie kids. they are mimsy.

i just remembered a review from maximumrnr back in the day that put me off the hated for a long time because he described them playing gilman st. without their shoes on like dirty hippies.

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 17 October 2002 14:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

They cover "I Am A Rock" = they are hippies.

I like the idea that the obvious response slowly worked its way through Colin's brain, taking its time, knowing it could afford to meander while everything else in his cranium hummed along at its quick speed.

Fourfa.com is biased towards California.

The name always used to confuse me, and I wondered if it was a knowing wink to the awkwardness of the bands. I thought this because I imagined it was somehow connected to Emo Phillips! No such luck, like the music, the explanation was VERY po-faced it just meant EMOtional hardcore. I still prefer my version however.

on i slightly different note,this summer is saw dude who made fourfa.com's band, funeral diner. very good. very "emo"

juiceboxxx (juiceboxxx), Tuesday, 11 February 2003 18:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

See, the only this-thread-relevant bands I like could comfortably pass as either indie or emo.... No Knife for example.

donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 11 February 2003 19:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Funeral Diner is pretty decent... thy really don't have many bands that sound like them. And they're Ex - Portraits of Past

PoP is fucking brilliant; I think the vocalist is in jail for running a meth lab that poisoned his kid.

Jonathan Williams (ex machina), Tuesday, 11 February 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

speaking of emo kids - i've been fascinated for ages by the whole willful infantilization thing that accompanies emo (and to a certain extent indie) culture - eg, hoards of mid-20-somethings who still call themselves "kids," talk about "making out" (cf makeoutclub.com) - when was the last time an emo kid just had sex, fer crying out loud?

anyway, a few years ago i read a HIGH-larious bit online about emo that broke down all the childhood tropes that define the (ahem) lifestyle. for the life of me i can't remember where i read this. anyone got a link?

(sorry for the lack of detail. i lost memory headbanging to universal order of armaggedon, all those years ago.)

EMO KIDS HAVING SEX DOES NOT COMPUTE AND IS HORRIFYING IN MY MIND!

Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 05:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

five months pass...
I am pretty much an emo kid...sweater vests and thrift-store and all...but I tend to lean torwards the new stuff like Jimmy Eat World and Further Seems Forever, not the ones forementioned...

...and I have sex.

Me.

Buddy Holly, Tuesday, 29 July 2003 00:25 (twenty years ago) link

i must not be emo because i'm not having any sex

electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 00:25 (twenty years ago) link

You have sex with sand mermaids, Buddy?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 00:37 (twenty years ago) link

Just think of the bondage fun you can have with those wallet chains.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 12:05 (twenty years ago) link

Indie kids hate emo kids because all indie kids are thirty years old and are jealous of the emo kids' youth or something like that

Ben Dot, Tuesday, 29 July 2003 13:13 (twenty years ago) link

but i SO want to sleep with some of those emo girls!

Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 13:29 (twenty years ago) link

since there is an obvious disparity between the original emo bands and what's considered emo nowadays, why is it that this new style was never dubbed 'post-emo'?

My roommate last year did this project for school where she had a big folding mirror thing. Like, three feet long, two feet high. And folded like one of those dressing shield things in old movies. She photocopied Alkaline Trio lyrics onto overhead sheets. Transparent pieces of plastic. And glued them to the mirror and there were some diagramy sort of clip art things, too.

She drew on our windows with the Crayola markers that you can draw on the windows with and erase easily. Themed for the holiday or the season. A heart one, a snowy one, a Christmas one.

She left Safeway bags in the shower. All the time. Everyday I'd go in and have to pick a Safeway bag of cold water off of the bottom of the shower. She had dreadlocks. She didn't want her hair to get wet, I guess. She put the bag over her head. And she put on the wax while we were watching TV.

She said she hated the Ramones and that she started liking rap after she saw Eight Mile and when her friend came over they listened to Eminem and drank bottles of beer and kept saying stuff like, 'Oh my God! I can't believe I used to like this! Ha ha ha!' because they were so smart and -- listen -- she had this stupid, stupid plan to start a band and they had all of these stupid plans -- it won't sound good with me describing it but when I remembered it just now, I felt angry and -- they had this plan where they would slowly remove instruments from the stage and, man, it was so, so stupid and they just went on and on.

I forget exactly what she wrote in her diary about me. It was because I wrote stuff on the mirror when it was fogged up. When I was standing there, right after I got out of the shower. You write things on the mirror. I don't know what. And when it fogged up again the writing was there again and she thought it was a ghost and I overheard her discussing it with the other girl who lived there and Amanda was saying how the house was haunted. And then she wrote in her diary that she thought it was me who had written something on the mirror and that I was creepy. Tat's the exact word she used, even: 'creepy.' She wrote something like, 'Is it normal to write stuff on mirrors?'

She had a poster of George Bush on her door with all the mis-saying that he'd said. When we watched TV together and we saw George Bush she'd always have to say something about how he looked stupid and evil.

She left the book right out on the couch, too. A stupid orange book with a sun that she wrote in with stupid kid pens.

The guy from Filmmaker got drunk at our house once while I was hiding in my bedroom playing Minesweeper and listening to Ashanti.

She ate a plastic carton of strawberries I had in the fridge.

She had a toque with ears on it.

I have some weird pictures of her underwear. I will upload them.

The obvious answer: EVERYBODY hates the Emo kids. `Cos they're so inherently hateable.
