Emo, scene, mod. There must be a billion different ways to call it and they all are being used the wrong way.
Not that bad, but I was quite disappointed lol. In a lot of songs I just felt "Any 15 year old guy could have written this" lol. They had good songs, and the lyrics as a whole weren't awful, but some songs in particular just seemed kind of laughable. Some of their older songs were laughable, but stuff like Part of Me and Forgotten have really great lyrics I think.
yeah, i doubt you've heard enough of the used then. those other bands don't scream or have very hard guitars, the used have quite a few songs that are mostly screaming (box full of sharp objects, i'm a fake, sound effects and overdramatics, maybe memories)... plus the lyrical content is a lot different. the world is about stereotypes, it's humanity's job to escape them.
This is somewhat off topic, but just look at the adds at bottom of the page! "Emo Hairstyles" "3D Emo Chat"
Unfortunately many people are ignorant and not willing to educate themselves. Today "emo" is a popular word and everybody is using it without knowing the true meaning. And if that person doesn`t know what metaphor is, we have the statement "LP is emo." I really won`t explain why they are not emo cause i hope thats obvious. As for the lyrics, i think they`ve evolved and they are getting better. Of course every person has his/her interpretation of it, but making fun of the lyrics is just disrespectful.
i totally agree emotional songs are my favorite songs songs without emotions are bland to me no meaning means no listen by my rules and i listen to emo music and the is a drastic driffrence
M2M is not emo! emo is the style for "one day". i think, that m2m is really one of the best albums in music! 'cause it is more than music!
