Bands that, much like emo kids themselves, all look and sound very similar. In fact, there may be pretty much no difference between Emo Band A and Emo Band B. That's how annoying it can get.
Emo bands may have a lot of potential, but sadly, it is all wasted because they try too hard to fit under one stereotype, just like the average emo kid.
Emo bands may have a lot of potential, but sadly, it is all wasted because they try too hard to fit under one stereotype, just like the average emo kid.
Characteristics of emo bands:
1. The singer sounds just like Adam Lazzara
2. Some of the lyrics may be screamed
3. Poppy sound
4. Very simple guitar riffs
5. Two or more of the band members have "emo hair," and the singer is usually one of them
6. Don't forget eyeliner
7. Lyrics include the weirdest, most nonsensical-sounding metaphors ever, something along the lines of "My little period at the end of your sentence..."
8. Songs are about relationships or life in general - they are NEVER optimistic, though they may be upbeat
9. The band members will always deny the "emo" label, much like emo kids (once again)
10. Usually disappear after two or three albums, or with some cases, even one, but not before at least one of their songs becomes a radio hit

Emo is a term used for rock acts centralized around Washington DC in the 80's who tended to get very 'emotional' with their performance on stage.
Now it has just been a lame catch all term for bands who are NOT emo.

People think groups like Fall Out Boy, AFI who are in fact East Bay Hardcore, not 'Emotional', I bet you if you told Davey Havok they were 'Emotional', he'd punch your goddamn lights out, Flyleaf, Panic! at the Disco, ect. ect. ect. But these people are just naive little children who like to label and stereotype.
PS. Get a life kids. Emo bands are extinct.

A bunch of gay sissy boys singing about how there mommy doesnt love them and how they cut their wrist because their girlfriend has a penis.
This kid i knew at school was in an emo band; he cut his wrist and bled to death after writing a song about his gay incest relationship with his dad.
