National Summer EMO WeekendPermalink: 6/07/2005 07:36:00 PM | << Back HomeThis weekend is the N-S-EMO...W. Just like 4/20 (but with or without the drugs), don't forget to throw on a CD by The Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, Armor for Sleep, Yellowcard, Blink 182, etc. (goto Amazon or iTunes and buy music by these bands now if you don't have any) The emo dress-code is absolutely necessary. If you support EMO, then digg this story! What is "Emotional Rock"? (EMO) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo Emo (an abbreviation of "emotionally-driven Hardcore punk") is a term now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punk's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage. It is also used to describe fans of this genre, most commonly teenagers. (e.g., emo kid). The actual term "emo" originated in the mid-1980s D.C. scene, with the band Rites of Spring, as well as bands such as Fugazi,Moss Icon, and Antioch Arrow. The term addressed both the way the band connected with its audience, as well as its tendency to deal more with topics of personal and relationship politics than with the standard themes of rock music. |
