Am I the only one who doesnt know what "Straight Edge" and SXE are?

[ec437]

yep

[ZedEx]

Straight-Edge is not partaking in drug usage, drinking alchoholic beverages, or practicing promiscuous sexual encounters.

S.X.E is a shortened version of Straight-Edge... Straight-X-Edge... Get it?

Something I've been into since I was very young... Never drank, never smoked, never taken advantage of a drunk girl... Im the kind of guy you can trust I guess

Whats Emo? Someone explain this to me, please. And when did this genre spring up? Damn I am out of touch.

The way I see it, emo is an offshoot of punk. Basically its less yelling, more whining. Very slow and usually depressing.

Dashboard Confessional would be the posterband for emo Id say.

Huh... So its the exact opposite of punk. Is all of it depressing? I can't see myself listening to music that gets me down. I listen to music to enhance/improve my mood, not to bring it down. To each their own, though.

apparently you missed my post directed to supratuner earlier in this very thread.

"if you're going to make stupid remarks like these, ESPECIALLY around someone who has their fucking symbol tattood into his arm (that would be me) as a sign of how much he likes the band, then please stay the fuck out of this forum or i will give you a free vacation from AF for a week or two.

the thread at the top of the forum indicates that, if you go into a thread and something is being discussed, and you don't like that something (whether it be a band or a genre), then stay the fuck out of the thread. the people who started and are participating in the thread don't care, i repeat DON'T CARE that you don't like them. they do, and they're looking to discuss their like of that band/genre with other people who feel the same way.

it also says that if you can't make a CONSTRUCTIVE argument (your post had the constructivity of a 4-year old), then don't make one at all.

do i make myself clear?"



read it, follow it, or be banned. consider this your first warning.

No it's not all depressing, the Emo i listen to has more upbeat songs thand depressing. They even did a remake of Maneater by Hall and Oates, sounds better than the original. I saw them live and i have to say that even though they're not maintstream yet, they're my favorite emo band.

Did you happen to miss the smiley face after that?

What? Whiny? I like the things they talk about. I don't think its whiny but I can't change your opinions. I do like "screamo" too but I find stuff like Dashboard Confessional good.
