Conor Oberst? from bright eyes?

I definitely don't agree...but to each his own

Ive heard good things about his music but haven't checked alot of it out yet. Recommend something please.

[Don Breezio]

I personally like his XO album....sweet adeline and waltz #1 are my favorite tracks

Conor Oberst IS Bright Eyes

IMO elliot Smith can get toooo emo at points, I feel Bright Eyes has a good blend in the albums besides Conor's a better musician, but yea to each his own.

Seriously, how can a person be 'Emo'?

Emo means 'Emotionaly charged Hardcore Punk' so unless Elliot Smith was a genre of punk music then he can't be emo.



And please don't say something about MCR being Emo because that just as bad as saying JKwon is Gangsta Rap.

bright eyes is dope as fuck, i was listening to him today, i only like his acoustic shit, some of the "band" stuff is too country sounding... but bright eyes in genral is depressing as fuck to listen to

emo is stuff like my chemical romance (this is sort of borderline...they make some decent music), good charlotte, yellowcard, hit the lights, new found glory, dashboard confessional, etc...all the shit where 90% of what they sing about is their girlfriends breaking up with them and their parents hating them...

With Dashboard Confessional and Jimmy Eat World's success, major labels began seeking out similar sounding bands. Just as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the other Seattle scene bands of the early 1990s were unwillingly lumped into the genre "grunge", some record labels wanted to be able to market a new sound under the word emo.

Correctly or not, emo has often been used to describe such bands as AFI, Alexisonfire, A Static Lullaby, Brand New, Coheed and Cambria, Fall Out Boy, Finch, From Autumn to Ashes, From First to Last, Funeral for a Friend, Hawthorne Heights, Matchbook Romance, My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the Disco, Silverstein, Something Corporate, The Starting Line, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Thrice, and Thursday. The classification of bands as "emo" is often controversial. Fans of several of the aforementioned bands have recoiled at the use of the "emo" tag, and have gone to great lengths to explain why they don't qualify as "emo". In many cases, the term has simply been attached to them because of musical similarites, a common fashion sense, or because of the band's popularity within the "emo" scene, not because the band adheres to emo as a music genre. (The revulsion of some bands from the term emo is not unlike the retreat from the genre by the bands in the indie emo scene near the end of the 90s.)

that kind of stuff is not emo...its indie...that would be like saying sufjan stevens is emo or damien rice is emo...this thing had emo pretty much wrong....some of this stuff they listed is emo...like dashboard, mcr, starting line, taking back sunday, matchbook romance, etc...

but at the same time this thing has no idea what its talking about with most of these...coheed & cambria (one of my favorite bands of all time) is so far from emo its not even funny...they are very hard core...they scream quite often...and they sing about things like killing babies (yes thats right). Also stuff like thursday...DEFINITELY not emo...thursday is very much so screamo/punk

if you want a little better idea of emo...think about where you would see this dude:



you definitely wouldn't see him hanging around a sunny day real estate show...you'd see him with 3 or 4 more emo buddies of his at a my chemical romance show or a taking back sunday show
