| Music: jawbreaker "kiss the bottle" |
|
| I've been reading this book my sister bought called "Nothing Feels Good/ punk rock, teenagers, and emo." It's kind of like a documentary on the origins of emo music. This is one of the songs they talk about in the book. The guy's hypothesis is rather intriguiging; essentially, he is saying that emo is not a specific, set-in-stone genre, but that it is something we create in our minds, something in how the individual relates to the music. On a side note...I'm still looking. | |

Randomperson | 01-24-04 12:20am emo would encompass all music then... I mean, I'd have to say most musicians (at least the ones that don't write shit music) connect to their music in a special way in their minds...

jburt1 | Re:, 01-25-04 3:28am And that's essentially what this guy is saying. It's just not music either, but movies too. I guess a lot of punk music was political-based, so when musicians started to write about feelings and whatnot, it became emo!? |
Randomperson | Re:, 01-27-04 11:29am I'd say ever since Rock & Roll started it was emo... I mean, to a lesser extent. But I seriously doubt there is any rock songwriter who hasn't written a song about emotions... The Beatles are Emo, U2 is emo, Led Zepplin, yeah Emo.
