Hardcore?!?!? Seriously, no. They're basically goth metal. NOT emo, NOT hard rock, CERTAINLY NOT hardcore. Black Flag are hardcore.
They are just as you said, Love Metal. They are just believed to be emo because Hot Topic carries all their stuff and puts it right between Twilight and Various emo bands, so then all the little emo kids go ZOMG ITS A NEW EMO BAND and listen to them and go ZOMG THIS AINT EMO! why do you think everyone disses on HIM? its because they ARENT emo! they are considered an emo poser band by many emos, even though HIM have been around since the early 90's.
No
Emo means emotional, so all those crap bands that whine like little girls in their songs about love etc, that's emo, the most pathetic genre in rock :). Learn something new everyday huh.
No, Godsmack is not emo, it's metal. Metal is not emo. Dark music about killing yourself is emo, and by dark, I dont mean Disturbed. but no, Godsmack is not emo music.
sure. emo music is usually metal, rock, or screamo a lot of emo people like songs with depressing lyrics
No... they said that they're a rock band. They don't like or use sub genres on themselves and their not a screamo band (since a lot of people say "emo" people like screamo). They also said though, that even though their a rock band, if one of their fans is really into screamo of metal or something like that and want to think or say that they are they don't care because if they're making that person happy with their music it doesn't matter to them what genre they say they are... Emo and Goth really aren't real things it's just a lable and lables kind of seperate people and judge them for what they like... BVB said they don't believe in emo but if you do then that's great but to answer your question no they're a rock band
Christian hardcore.
If they make music expressing emotion then yes. Because that's what emo is. Emotion.
