A study about the genre/subculture of Emo

“Emo kids listen to this music genre”

~ Captain Obvious on Emocore

“Shit”

~ Metalheads on Emocore

“They stole our music genre!”

~ Punks on Emocore

Emocore is a distinct music genre which requires you to whine, scream, and let everyone know how your girlfriend broke up with you. Only emo kids and depressed people listen to it.

[edit] History

Emocore started in around the 80's when the band Rites of Spring decided to start to sell their sanity to the depressed population of the world. Then some bands called Sunny Day Real Estate and Jimmy Eat World stole their music and started and changed it to make some money with a "new" music genre until around the late 90's when emocore started to die down again. But still in the 2000's some emotionally unstable bands remained, like Jimmy Eat World, and emocore was revived again, when Jimmy Eat World made a depressing album called Bleeding Americans.

Soon after, a new youth subculture called "emo" (a group of highly depressive teens) began to emerge once this music genre was revived. With this, emo broke off of punk rock and made its own genre, due to the Punk Family disowning the Emo Family. Soon after being disowned from the Punk Family, the metalheads and goths, for some unknown reason, started to pay more attention to emocore and saw it as a threat, even though emo kids can't really harm anything. And so began the Great Emo War, in which the emos were greatly outnumbered in Mexico, however won due to peaceful rallies and backup from the government.

[edit] Sound and Rhythm

The emocore music genre generally consists of whiny lyrics and incredibly distorted guitars which, if you listen to emocore, will begin create a void in your soul and turn you into a emo kid.

Fact: Most Emocore band lead singers look like this. The one who is most likely to get laid by fangirls/guys

• Vocals: Vocals normally consist of a teenager or a feminine male who has mastered the art of whining and screaming. Emo lead singers are normally obsessed over by teenage girls so they are the most likely in the band to get laid. Common lyrics from the genre consist of subjects like:

1. Cutting (mainly for those influenced by Hawthorne Heights) for no apparent reason, just to try and fit into a trend
2. His/her sucky school life because Tret the Jock is beating up on him/her
3. Whining about his/her boyfriend/girlfriend breaking up with him/her
4. Death of little kittens and how sad it is to experience
5. Dying his/her hair black and sitting in corners crying

• Guitar: Guitar is normally distorted to where it has the power to scare metalheads away due to its tuning that is so unheavy metalheads can't stand it and emo kids use it as a defense against metalheads when they are surrounded by them.

• Bass Guitar: The genre's bass guitar is normally tuned so low to where:
  • A. You can't hear it
  • B. It is so low it might as well not be there (and has no effect on scaring away chavs)

• Drums: Drums... what is there to do? All you do is bang on them.

[edit] Popular Emocore Bands

• My Chemical Romance - Even though denying being an emo band, they know deep down inside their dark hearts they are emo
• Fall Out Boy - Very popular, especially in Mexico where the song "This ain't a Scene, it's a March in Mexico" was used in protest of being picked on by punks and metalheads
• Panic at the Disco - They are so emo, I mean come on, they wear makeup and eyeliner!
• Blood Red Romance - Mainly loved by the emo crowd that hates Adam and Andrew, very popular for their song "Gangster Kid" (a parody of "Emo Kid" by Adam and Andrew)
• The Unbearable Lightness - The first emo band to do something useful
• Aiden- A band fabricated by Jack Skellington IV from the Emo Dynasty
• Conor Oberst - He's a band?
• Stealthcore - ...

[edit] Subgenres

• Screamo: The art of molesting ones eardrums. The human ears can only stand so much screaming and only emo kids and metalheads have adapted to being able to listen to this. One of the only good things to come from emo kids as it has the ability to ward off chavs and other Dollar Store gangsters.

• Emo rap: Attracting both emos and wiggers, emo rap unbelievably whines about losing their girlfriend to some douche with a bigger dick than the emocore genre. It normally consists of catchy tunes and singers taking all the talent away from real music. It is under debate if emo rap is real music or not.

• Emotronic: A complete and utter joke that has spread via MySpace. It is supposed to be a mix between emo and electronic. It is a proven fact that this music subgenre is the most tuney and rhythmical of all of them. It is popular among females, because they can dance to it.

[edit] Pros and Cons of listening to/being in a band of the genre

• Pros

1. The lead singer is most likely to get laid
2. You will sell out and get rich. Oh wait, is that good?
3. You will have thousands of fanclubs named after one of your band members and how teenage girls will want to have sex with you (but you won't get laid unless you are the lead singer or drummer)
4. You will be accepted by other emos
5. You will be trendy
6. You can walk out like a transgendered person and not care what others think

• Cons

1. You will start to whine more often
2. To cry if you see a kitten being hurt in the deepest most darkest manner that will cause your soul to die
3. Sit in dark corners and cry, because thats what emos do, right?
4. Punks, metalheads, rockers, and chavs will hate you for no particular reason
