emo...all that tragically, whiny trite you hear on the radio nowadays. Most of them insist they have 'punk roots', but most would probably get their @$$es kicked by bands like GBH, New Model Army, The Sub-Humans, The Misfits, etc. Apparently the girls of the 15-21 variety love that sh!t.

Sadly, think of it how the TRUE head-bangers of the 80's thought of Glam Rock. Most true, metal-heads loathed the makeup and cheesy, guitar solos of the Glam bands.


Hope that helps.

 :lol:

So it's music ralated.

How come I've never heard of any of those music groupls you've mentioned? Am I that out of touch? ;-) :lol:

What's wrong with all the old metal bands of the 80's? Or even Vivaldi for that matter?

What... nobody likes baroque these days? :-(

Nope, because it's completely soulless (could as well been made on a computer) and it has no inspiration whatsoever.

Hey all I'd just like to mention I'm 17 and I don't dress like a Queen and although I had a mobile phone in High school I was one of the last to get one and had to get a job to pay for it, I agree it's silly how some parents pay money out willy nilly and spoil their kids when they should be teaching them that in order to get anywhere in life you need to work... (unless you're an asylum seeker in the u.k) lol (opened a can of worms)

Beats me...

Emo, pre-2001: More cerebral sub-genre of punk/indie-rock. The lyrics are non-political, instead being rather obsessive (names, dates, times and places are often noted) musings on love, hope, desperation, etc. The musical style varies from full-tilt hardcore to acoustic stuff, but is generally melancholic (although not always melodic) and rhythmically off-kilter.

Emo, post-2001: A haircut.

Most are old 80's punk bands.

There's NOTHING at all wrong with 80's metal. In fact, I wish it would make a come back. I'm REALLY tired of the crap they play on the radio, simply 'cos the Radio Execs say 'Hey that's what all the kids wanna listen to.' It's all commercialism. You don't have a best seller on your freshman album, you're cut by your parent company.

I LOVE Vivaldi and baroque will always have a place in the hearts of true musical fans.

I just don't like the fact how generalized the music industry has become. Every band sounds the same, uses the same chords, etc. it's almost like they're afraid to write something original.

BTW, I'm getting *MY* tickets to see Van Halen in September this weekend. I'm not really a BIG fan, or much of a fan at all, but I'd like to be able to say that I saw them once upon a time. Sammy Hagar's back in the band and that man has some MAD tequila. :-o

Oh the people on here crack me up. While the young "dudes" dress up like "queens" these days, i bet that the old folk on here wear ties and suits and use pocket watches to see the time. No messing around with you old dudes is there? :-)

[Darth_X]

What's with yellow spikey hair, stupid colored T-Shirts with silly logo's on them, womens blouses, womens pants, and 'man-bags' ?

So many 18 to 22 Y/O dudes I see around this area are dressing like that.

Somebody please tell me!

Could you please provide a picture to prove your point?

From the way you word it, its like an 80s rival. Don't you remember that band 'Flock of Seagulls' ? The 80s were rife with guys with spikey hair, womens blouses, and stupid coloured T shirts with logo's on them...

Holy thread necromancery, Batman!

8 years later and dress styles might have changed a tad

But did he ever manage to get those rotten kids off his lawn!?

[TheBilgeRat]

Did you guys live through the 60s to 80s?  And you are dissing fashion TODAY?

Mother of God.

60s: "Who needs to bathe?  OOH! Faux indian is awesomes!"
70s: Liberace, Ziggy Stardust, disco....need I continue?
80s: the Mullet

The Defense Rests.

i'm thinking of going completely the other way. it's Movember coming up, and what could go better with some full on victorian face fuzz, than a waistcoat, stovepipe top hat, and pocket watch.

actually, the modern pocket watch idea i've been trying to realise. round, gold bodied touchscreen phone, with lid, in pocket watch style. bluetooth headset in hat maybe?  

would love an excuse to wear a waistcoat and stuff, and generally look "the bollocks" (this is a good thing).

one worry that has been raised, is that these floppy haircuts that cover one eye are leading to an increase in childhood "lazy eye". doesn't effect older teens or adults so much as the muscles are more developed. But in younger people, it seems more prevelent.

i had a little chuckle to myself at that one.
