-Live off your parents trustfund.
-Complain about how harcore and real you are (even though everything is handed to you)
-Be good at whining.
-Dye your hair jet black. Cut your hair so your bangs hang real low in the front, and go to really short in the back
-Use that trustfund money to buy so ultra hardcore full length arm tattos
-make up a band name that is atleast a sentance long.
-Buy some trucker hats
-Wear 50 cent thrift store t-shirts, with a $200 pair of jeans....

HAHA! Ok...can you give the name of the most mainstream Emo band? Are emo bands (keep in mind I'm old) bands like Jimmy Eat World, Sum 41, etc? Are there actually SCREAMO bands or is that another name for Emo bands or what...help an old lady understand. :D

I live a sheltered life but I don't quite get the straight edge thing, being all uppity about not being like most people and not doing drugs? It's like being proud of being middle class or having suburbia tattooed on your chest.

I might actaully have some respect for this music. I guess some of them can play live concerts.

But i saw a live video while fliping through mtv, vh1 and fuse and a live show of the used was playing. And jesus they really cant play at all. I mean come on, it was pathetic. So i changed the channel and went back to watching Speed. :thumb:

you DID see the Starsky and Hutch movie, didn't you?
Are you once again going to try to get me to watch a ben stiller movie? I saw dodge ball and GOD was it some of the worst movie watching I have ever done, Stiller was THE only funny thing in the movie I must admit however Zoolander was pretty funny.

I don't recall ever telling you to watch Dodge Ball, but if you don't like Zoolander you are one uptight mother f'er! :D

As for Starsky and Hutch...it was funny...enjoyable...and there is this scene where Ben Stillers character, Starsky, does some coke, unbeknownst to him, and he gets in a dance off with this dude with a fro...it all takes place in the 70's and that scene is absolutely hysterical...and this was all in reference to the kid that you quoted saying something about Deep Purple being a disco hair band. Nevermind...

Hrm.... 'Saves The Day' seems to be popular emo band.

Sum 41 is more punk(ish) style.... Jimmy eat world is alt rock

sceamo is the new hip-hop... they both suck.
no its not bc hip hop was started (origianally of course but went a bit downhill) as a sort of new way to sing the blues and talk about a struggle, screamo and emo kids have had no such surggle. unless ossing bein depressed because some girl dosnt love you or ur paents used to yell at you falls under "struggle". Basically whiney a$$ teenagers who are too busy feeling sorry for themselvves and looking for ympathy to do sumtin about it... Son

screamo = GAY
Wow, way to back up your points. Honestly, Who suprised the most outspoken republican on this board brough up something being gay without any evidence? N8 i can guarantee you that screamo, and all forms of music have no sexual affiliations or preferences what-so-ever.

Haha, Amen brother. We call the Emo's/hipsters around here "trustafarians" Seeing as their income is a trust fund in daddy's name

I think I can kinda speak for N8 here when I say that he was not using 'gay' as a reference to the alternative lifestyle...
