No, it was never respectable.

Go listen to Morrissey. That guy is even worse than Tokio Hotel.

There’s no destinction between real or non real emo

If we are being honest, emo is just very melodramatic math rock.

Who fucking cares enjoy music faggot

not when the lead singer is a rapist

otherwise yeah emos cool. first wave emocore is better tho

That's just american football and others who try to copy their sound. Emo in general is much closer to pop punk, post hardcore or maybe even goth imho

Hmmm let me see

No

Would you say TTNG is emo?

All alternative music is emo.

>Middle class dork having first world problems and being to deep for this world.

Every alternative subgenre ever.

For sure

Brand New, American Football and TTNG are not real emo. Cue the copy pasta

Eh, the first bands being coined emo were the post-hardcore bands of the late 80s. Vastly different from pop punk or goth. Third wave emo like MCR and Panic at the Disco I really don't fucking consider emo. It's pop-punk/alternative rock with whiny lyrics. Emo does not mean anything these days unfortunately. Growing up, people didn't call Brand New and Jimmy Eat World emo bands where I came from. This shit is a new phenomena for me.

Imagine being this fucking ignorant of emo music and posting on a board about music.

As well as using a name.

both

I agree for the most part, I love Brand New but I never thought of them as emo

Its patrician, for the most part. Well the classics at least. Revival is mostly trash

what are the classics?

Cap'n Jazz, Jimmy Eat World, The Get Up Kids, Pinkerton if you consider it emo

>TEN MINUTES TO DOWNTOWN
>TEN MINUTES TOO LOOONG
