Stands for "As Fucking If".

A band formed in 1991 that at one time was one of the last true hardcore punk bands in existance. Sadly, for their album <i>Sing The Sorry</i>, they decided to take on a softer, more "mature" sound. Recently turned into another MTV flavor of the month with thier single "Miss Murder."

AFI- While it is hard to put AFI in a single genre they most certainly are not EMO. How could a band that was around before emo even became a word be emo.
PS. Jade started styling his hair way before the "emo" kids.

"A Fire Inside" is a great band that has changed their musical style over the years; their music fits into many different genres. Their first three CDs are "Answer That And Stay Fashionable," "Very Proud of Ya," and "Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes." These CDs are obviously punk rock; the best one of these three is "Answer That And Stay Fashionable." Their next CD is "Black Sails In The Sunset," which mixes melodic metal and punk rock. It is undeniably their best CD. Their next two CDs are "The Art of Drowning," and "Sing The Sorrow," and they combine many new elements to their music that makes it hard to put them into a particular genre. Some of AFI's worst songs are on these two CDs, but there are a few (about 7 or 8) really good songs that are worth listening to.

A Fire Inside. Band made of Davey Havok, Jade Puget, Adam Carson, and Hunter. Many people classify this band as emo, when it really does not fit into any one genre. How can they be emo if they formed before 'emo' was a word? People hate it because their style changed. Well, guess what? No band's style is going to stay the same forever. It's called development. So just go with it and learn to enjoy different types of music, or shut up and leave everyone else alone. No one cares if you don't like the band.

An incredibly versitile band. Some people think that they "sold out" with their last album, Decemberunderground, but they were merely progressing in their music.

Their sound cannot be defined to one "scene".

Unfortunately, many people write them off because they have changed their musical style and developed over the years, or because people think they don't act or look like some say they 'should'. These people are truly missing out on a wonderful musical experience.
