Music thread

@TheHappySpaceman  
The ones that I can think of (and I’m counting both Top 40 comebacks and frequent blips on the Hot 100) from the top of my head are Mariah Carey, Usher, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Garth Brooks, Kid Rock, Pearl Jam, Backstreet Boys, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, No Doubt and Darius Rucker of Hootie & The Blowfish.

Just let it go, you’re getting worked up over this.

If I am going to use a modern example  
The Hoteliers are more or less the biggest band of the Modern “Emo Revival” that’s been going on for a while and they sound nothing like MCR

Looking for the re-recording of the Offspring’s cover of Hey Joe (from the “Gone Away” single)  
I can only find the original version from the Baghdad EP

MCR are Emo band by both definitions. Their debut is blatantly influenced by Ink & Dagger and sounds pretty similar to Rites of Spring, Gerard also did a show where he sang with Geoff Rickly of Thursday and theyre now touring together. Plus Gerard said his looks were hugely influenced by bands like Orchid and Jeromes Dream.
 
Yes The Black Parade and Danger Days are more mainstream but at theircore and especially in their beginnings they were an Emo band. Arguing what is and isnt Emo is a stupid thing that I gave up on long ago, Emo has always been a loosely defined term even back in its 80s Hardcore roots. You really wanna tell me that Moss Icon and Sunny Day Real Estate have that much similar in sound? Evolution is a thing. Granted yes there are some bands that I think shouldnt be called Emo (I dont think Panic! At the Disco should be called Emo) but im not gonna draw some thin vague line between “le real emo” and “le fake poser mall emo”.

@.44caliberloveletter  
Yeah, the lines on genres get blurred after a while. 21 Pilots still aren’t rock tho.
 
@Broken Adam  

 
@ILoveMyoozik  
And Billy Ray Cyrus.

@MoogSourceVermona  
MCR was influenced by the Post Hardcore scene which included first wave Emo bands and the lines were blurry back then , But by the time Midwest Emo came along Emo started being more about being “anti Artsy” and Personal Lyrics than the Hardcore scene it came from .
 
One could argue that by the first Wave Emo definition MCR and even Green Day were more Emo Than Midwest bands like Weezer or SDRE because those were Punk while Weezer was Alt Rock but Most Emos prefer Midwest Emo over The first wave anyway

“But by the time Midwest Emo came along Emo started being more about being “anti Artsy” and Personal Lyrics than the Hardcore scene it came from .”
 
That is fucking absolute bullshit. Have you even read any of the lyrics to any Rites of Spring, Embrace, or Moss Icon song? Theres tons of personal shit in their lyrics. Introspection has always been a part of Emo.
 
If you really wanted to make this point of personal and anti-artsy youd be mentioning Screamo ala Saetia, pg.99, Jeromes Dream, I Have Dream, instead of the Midwest scene where Math Rock, Indie, and Alt Rock became prominent for Emo.
 
“One could argue that by the first Wave Emo definition MCR and even Green Day were more Emo Than Midwest bands like Weezer or SDRE because those were Punk while Weezer was Alt Rock”
 
Green Day would never be close to Emo they take a lot of their sound from Screeching Weasel, Crimpshrine, and Fifteen. I wasnt trying to use “le first wave definition” I was pointing out that the lines have always been blurred since back then.
 
Embrace and Turning Point are both hugely influential to Emo during the 80s yet they sound nothing alike. Jawbreaker and Bright Eyes are both Midwest bands yet Jawbreaker were a heavier Pop Punk band that moved into some type of Soft Grunge and Bright Eyes is Indie/Folk with some Alt-Country. There has never been a tine where Emo has had a clearly defined sound.
 
“Most Emos prefer Midwest Emo over The first wave anyway”
 
…So what? Emocore is still a huge piece of the foundation for Emo music as a whole. Why be dismissive of it because of lack of popularity?

@TheHappySpaceman  
I’ll take questions no one asked for $400.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Fun fact: This is his second attempt at a comeback this decade and easily the most succesful. His first time was back in 2014 when he collaborated with a country rapper called Buck 22 for the song “Achy Breaky 2”, which did chart on the Hot 100 but didn’t make it to the Top 40. It’s a sight to behold.
 
@Broken Adam  
Adam, just stop please, you’re embarrassing yourself.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Interesting.
 
@pixel  
Well… I asked it. And I’m pretty sure there are r34 artists who also asked it. XD

On the topic of Emo not much hits me harder than this band does

People: Is “Born In The U.S.A.” about American soldiers celebrating their victory after Vietnam?  
Bruce Springsteen:  

@ILoveMyoozik  
Great use of that meme, LOL.

@TheHappySpaceman  
I was listening to that song earlier and boredom inspired me to use that meme.

Coldplay is not as bad as people make it out to be

@Broken Adam  
Agreed.

@Broken Adam  
Word, they’re one of my favorite bands

I like macintosh plus

@ILoveMyoozik  
They aren’t really anything unique so I kinda understand why some critics hated them ,they just copied older musicians(Oasis Radiohead Muse and U2) and put Chris Martin’s own touch on them.
 
But not every band has to be unique
 
And the whole “Chris Martin is too nice” shit seems weird

@Broken Adam  
Meh, I don’t really care, I just like them cause I remember being into their 2011-2014 stuff when I was in school and I still am.

@Broken Adam  
Excuse me, what? How is he too nice?

@ILoveMyoozik  
Lol what I said only applied to their earlier Stuff, since 2010 they have been doing feel good quirky pop which is honestly good even if their older fans hate it
 
 
@TheHappySpaceman  
British people are Cunts and get insecure when someone is not a cunt, at least that’s what I understood from an article

@Broken Adam  
Ah. Yeah, British people can be a little blunt, to put it lightly.
