Mr. Brightside Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 When I think of Emo, there is "My Chemical Romance" in my mind for ecample. Emo means "Emotional". I guess it is because they often scream. You know what I mean?
Darth Drabek Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 I had heard the (very clever) term "screamo" used to describe MCR and their ilk. I really do like their album though, which I can't say for many of their contemporaries. Avril is pop rock - she has the punk attitude going though, with her boots, fatigues and drinking habits. An interesting idea is that bands like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were considered hard rock in their heyday, their music would be considered pop rock in the same vein as Avril today. Blink 182 is pop punk. Sum 41 is pop punk with metal influences. At least the last time I listened to them they still did some ripping solos (approx. four years ago). They had this instrumental with dueling guitars that was definitely Maiden homage. They called it "Grab the Devil by the Horns and ..." .... well I'll just leave it at that. As far as pop punk goes, my favorite is Goldfinger - although their best stuff throws some ska into the mix. Their self titled album, and Hangups had plenty of catchy tunes with driving rhythms. And they're great live. Lately I've been listening to Wilco's Summerteeth album (which is definitely NOT alt-country, more like indie-pop). Okay, I'm done with the genres now, I swear. Wilco - A Shot in the Arm baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
Mr. Brightside Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 But is there Pop Punk and (!) Punk or do you only have one description? I ask because there, where I am from, there is only Punk.
Daaave Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) Pop punk is the more mainstream stuff like Blink 182, Green Day etc, punk is the anarchy stuff like Sex Pistols and other such bands from that era.

Darth Drabek Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) Is punk an ethos or a style of music? Sounds like a thesis paper to me. I can call Eddie Vedder's actions "punk rock" but I wouldn't call Pearl Jam's music punk rock. But musically, it depends how closely you want to dissect the genre. The Descendents are considered one of the progenitors of the "pop punk" genre, but many people would consider them to be "punk" because they never sold out, never compromised their sound. It was always poppy. In contrast, Bad Religion started out with none of the trappings of pop punk but as they progressed they cleaned up their sound, refined the vocals, and added harmonies. Still, no one would consider Bad Religion "pop punk." Why? Maybe it's the weighty subject material - they're not going to title an album "Take off your Pants and Jacket." edit: Oasis - Some Might Say Man I listened to so much Oasis this weekend.

Cantousent Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 I'm listening to "Ferry Cross the Mersey." I can't remember, offhand, who wrote it.

Can't comment on The Descendents of Bad Religion as I haven't heard much of their stuff. Oasis are just a s***ty indy band . Oh, Atreyu - The Crimson.

Musopticon? Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Borat's theme music. Seriously. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.
