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.
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
