AFI is the best punk/goth band ever!!!! They have the most original sound of all time. Because of their newer songs, they are classified as emo. This is only because those people are ignorant and have never heard any of their other albums. You are not a true fan of AFI if you think Decemberunderground is their first album. You're just a douche-bag poser.
Douche-bag Poser:OMG, did you hear that new band!
True Fan:Which one?
Douche-bag Poser:AFI. OMG, Love Like winter is like the best song ever!!!!
True Fan:You stupid piece of shit, AFI is not a new band! AFI started in 1991. Get out of my face you freakin wannabe. Go to by your sixty dollar shirts at abercrombie and fitch with your fall out boy cd and go fuck yourself!

Are NOT an emo band. They used to have good music, but now their music is kind of watered down :( And Jade had his cool hair before 'emo hair' even existed. Listen to their early albums!

Hey, Miss Murder can I Hey, Miss Murder can I Make beauty stay if I Take my life?

With just a look they shook, And heavens bowed before him. Simply a look can break your heart.

The stars that pierced the sky He left them all behind We're left to wonder why He left us all behind

Hey, Miss Murder can I Hey, Miss Murder can I Make beauty stay if I Take my life?

Dreams of his crash won't pass Or how they all adored him Beauty will last when spiraled down

The stars that mystify He left them all behind And now his children cry He left us all behind

Hey, Miss Murder can I Hey, Miss Murder can I Make beauty stay if I Take my life?

What's the rift that twists within this furthest mystery? I would gladly bet my life upon it At the cost of love your ray of light will fizzle out Without hope When the empty sand just flowing through our empty skin Ever searching for what we were promised Reaching for the cold and rain we never let go They won't ever let us lay our filthy hands upon it

Hey, Miss Murder can I Hey, Miss Murder can I Make beauty stay if I Take my life?

Hey, Miss Murder can I Hey, Miss Murder can I Make beauty stay if I Take my life?

AFI is a band formed in 1991 and has changed members a couple of times. As of now, 2008, the only two members of the band that were originally in it are Davey Havok and Adam Carson. But now the band consists of Davey Havok (vocals), Jade Puget (guitar and some vocals), Adam Carson (drums), and Hunter Burgan (bass).
Alot of people say that they are emo or goth, but they really aren't classified in a category. They've evolved a bit since first coming out. They started as hardcore punk and through the years, simmered down a little bit with more of a melodic sound but never losing their originality.
Most people that have heard of AFI no earlier than 2006 or 2007 tend to no almost nothing about the band, and if you ask them what their favorite song is, they will likely say Miss Murder or Love Like Winter, even those two were off of the real fans least favorite album (yet still amazing), DECEMBERUNDERGROUND and those people that say that have probably never even listened to any of AFI's other CDs like Black Sails In The Sunset, The Art of Drowning, or Sing The Sorrow.

AFI is amazing.
Smart person: Hey you're wearing an AFI shirt. I love them. What's your favorite song and album?
Dim Wit Poser-Ass Loser Prep: oh they're like one of my faaaavorite bands. I just LOVE the song Miss Murder.
Smart Person: Oh haha. That's one of my least favorite songs from them. They have so many other better ones.Miss Murder just sounds too... normal I guess.
Dim Wit Poser-Ass Loser Prep: oh... well I like the chorus... you know?? when Jade sings, "hey Miss Murder can i? Make you and stay if I take my life? Woah oh oh."
Smart Person: Those aren't evern the lyrics. WOW you suck. Anyways... What's your favorite album from AFI?
Dim Wit Poser-Ass Loser Prep: um... I like Decemberunderground.
Smart Person: next favorite???
Dim Wit Poser-Ass Loser Prep: oh my god it's just so hard to choose...
Smart Person: haha you can't even name another album, go die bitch.

If you work in a warehouse and don't know what to do, don't go berserk, just go into AFI mode. Just wait for your foreman to get you something to to do.
