It is said than most if not all heavy metal music (avenged sevenfold, evanescence, slipknot) is emo, especially screamo. But please check the definition of emo people!!!!
There is no such thing as "emo bands". there is only "emo-hardcore".
emo
Emo was A Genre before it was a Label And/Or A way of life, when A Band is called Emo, It would only be because of the style of their Music. Some Bands may Cut, but that's just up to them. Examples of "Emo" Bands; Hawthorne Heights, Fugazi, My Chemical Romance, Thursday, Automatic LoveLetter, Mest. Etc.. Not all of these bands neccessarily Cut, but their Music is Emo, As a Genre :P. =)
Older emo bands were more of an underground sort of sound. Bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, The Promise Ring and Texas Is The Reason were considered emo bands. Bands that are considered emo now are Alesansa and Silverstein.
No. I'm not, many of my friends and people I know are not. Emo is no longer just a style of music. It is also a style and culture.
Whatever they want
No, death metal is not for emo's such bands as "Hawthorne Heights" and "Madina Lake" are emo bands death metal is more advanced and for more hardcore people and FYI everyone Joe Gardner has an egg dick. It's pretty simple. Emo music wants to kill itself, death metal wants to kill other people (the more, and the more brutally, the better).
yes theyre emo. if you look at their wikipedia article one of the genres listed is emo. theyres nothing wrong with a band being emo for god's sake. yellowcard is a real emo band, like Texas is the reason, moneen, cursive etc. don't mistake metalcore or screamo bands for being just emo. yellowcard is older than all those bands anyways, so they are similar to the older emo bands. to hear some real emo music check out the emo itunes essential (which the song "ocean avenue" by yellowcard is included in).
Yes, screamo is a sub-genre of emo (which itself is a sub-genre of punk).
Escape the fate: smooth
The history of punk is longer than emo. Punk started in the 1970's The Ramones which influenced other bands like The Clash The Sex Pistols and The Casualites to name a few popular ones.Most emo bands like My Chemical Romance and From First to last were influenced by bands like The Misfits other goth,heavy metal bands and punk.
The most popular emo bands right now are: A day to remember, Black Veil Brides, The Misfits, and i suppose you could say Blood on the Dance Floor.
