I can't figure out if this guy is being serious or not

10/24/2005 12:18:22 PM

while i agree that wearing girls pants and all that is pretty lame... only like 2 of these videos show "emo fruitcakes" doing any kind of real "hardcore" moshing.

oh, and http://media.putfile.com/Santa-Mosh

I didn't know that people dance like that

it looks pretty easy, you just flail around and don't worry about a beat or anything

seems like it would be dangerous in a crowd though, how do they do it at concerts?

10/24/2005 12:36:20 PM

you piss off everyone around you that doesn't want to get hit by you.

10/24/2005 12:41:41 PM

so do these people get their asses kicked by "non hxc moshers" that are around them so they will calm the fuck down? That's what I'd do

10/24/2005 12:49:27 PM

emo =/= hardcore

emo kids don't dance, they just stand with their arms folded.

10/24/2005 12:50:56 PM

hahahahahahahah ^ so true.

but they do dress the same

10/24/2005 1:17:48 PM

I wonder if WAR is autistic. Did you know that autistic people are basically incapable of telling is a person is joking?

10/24/2005 1:29:24 PM

all of these kids must be joking, cause all those kids would get a beatdown if they went to a real show.

10/24/2005 1:40:24 PM

I saw some people "dancing" like that once. At least it's a bit more work than the "lean back"

10/24/2005 1:57:40 PM

did that dude have a sword?

10/24/2005 1:59:36 PM

haha i assumed it was a bat or something, but i think it is a sword

10/24/2005 2:01:31 PM

been to a show where those fags did that apeshit arm-swinging dance crap...i almost beat the fuck outta one asshat that kept mule kicking out behind him and hitting me way too close to the balls

10/25/2005 2:26:39 AM

pretty much all those videos were jokes anyways. the two or so that werent were terrible and the kids were retarded

and im all about a good pit at a show. adds to the energy and overall fun of the show if people are moving instead of standing there with their arms folded.

but these guys make me sad. but so do the people who think these guys are serious or representative of what takes place at most shows.

10/25/2005 2:55:08 AM

I have been going to hardcore shows since '98 and I have never owned girl pants, a studded belt, a white belt, etc. It is pretty easy to avoid buying that bullshit, I have resisted for years.

Metal is better anyway, and always will be.

10/25/2005 10:58:36 AM

whats better is that kids like this always claim to NOT be "scene"

i think some of these hXc kids post on here. dont hurt their feelings!

10/25/2005 11:28:54 AM

what's funnier is the amount of people that for some reason give enough of a shit to keep bringing this topic up OVER AND OVER AGAIN like it is something new

10/25/2005 11:37:03 AM

oh god this is so new

oh and listen to wknc 88.1 FM 3-5pm every tuesday

why aren't emo kids good at karate?



because they can't get past the white belt

*drums and cymbal crash*

10/25/2005 5:34:08 PM

hardcore is just angry emo

10/25/2005 5:45:33 PM

hardcore came before emo

10/25/2005 5:47:00 PM

omg does someone have to say it for the millionth time? you arent gonna see any kids dancing at an emo show.

what is labeled "emo" today is the label for all the overly whiney pop-punk bands.
i never used to mind the term when people were referring to sunny day real estate or mineral back in the day. now i cant stand it because of hte bands who are labeled that and label themselves that

10/25/2005 8:40:14 PM

THIRD VIDEO IS G-D HILARIOUS

@ 55 seconds!!!!!!!! ROFL!!!!

10/25/2005 9:17:19 PM

hardcore dancing doesn't really bother me but all of these guys make it look horrible

After Minor Threat broke up in late 1983, the vibrant DC hardcore-punk scene that exploded in 1981 seems to start to run out of steam and fresh ideas within the established DC hardcore sound. The wistful, posthumous Minor Threat 7" "Salad Days" comes out in 1984 and drives the final nail into the coffin of DC hardcore punk. Bands all over the country begin casting about for new things to do : DRI and Bad Brains start going cheeze-metal, New York bands start doing tough-guy mosh, 7Seconds goes jangly U2 alternative, etc. The prevailing change in D.C. is toward melodic rock with punk sensibilities.

1984 marks the release of Zen Arcade by Minneapolis band Hüsker Dü, documenting their new mature sound combining furious, intense vocal delivery and driving guitars with slowed-down rockish tempos and more-complex, melodic songwriting.

In spring 1984, a new band called Rites Of Spring forms from members of The Untouchables/Faith and Deadline. This band retains a punk speed and frenzy, but brings a totally new vocal approach to the mix. Singer Guy Picciotto keeps an out-of-breath punk style most of the time, at times delving into intensely personal lyrics dripping with emotion and sweat. His voice breaks down at climactic moments into a throaty, gravelly, passionate moan.

The summer of 1985 becomes known as "Revolution Summer" when a new wave of rock-tempo, melody based, sung-vocal bands forms out of the DC punk musician pool with diverse rock sounds - Three, Gray Matter, Soulside, Ignition, Marginal Man, Fire Party, Rain, Shudder to Think, etc. Few bands retain the fast hardcore punk-based sound with the new vocal approach, Dag Nasty being the notable exception.

Minor Threat's singer, Ian MacKaye's, sings for a band called Embrace (compare the band name to earlier DC bands Minor Threat, Void, and State Of Alert) whose lyrics are emotional and deeply self-questioning, but still clear and unambiguous. Musically, the group (formed mostly of ex-Faith members) writes midtempo, somewhat jangly music with a lot of pop guitar hooks. MacKaye's vocals retain his trademark bold enunciation, with only occasional sparks of emotive delivery.

These bands' sound eventually becomes known as the classic "D.C. sound." Some of it is derisively labeled "emo," as shorthand for "emotional." One account has this term first appearing in a Flipside interview with Ian MacKaye. Shortly thereafter DC bands aquire the tag "emo-core."

Slightly later (1986), some bands begin to focus on the "emo" element itself. The Hated in Annapolis (near D.C.) seem to be the first post-Rites of Spring to do this. Shortly thereafter, Moss Icon appears in in the same town. Moss Icon strips the "emo" element down to the core, and adds a great deal of intricate, arpeggiated guitar melody (by Tonie Joy, later of Born Against, Lava, Universal Order of Armageddon, etc.) with a strong focus on loud/soft dynamics. The vocals, too, break new ground by building up to actual top-of-the-lungs screaming at songs' climaxes.

Moss Icon, as a relatively well-known band that toured some, introduces the punk scene to music that has core emphasis on emotion instead of punk energy. As such, I consider them the starting point for the emo movement, not Rites of Spring as is more commonly asserted. Later emo bands draw heavily from the Moss Icon dynamics, guitar style, and vocal delivery.

yea. the "emo" mentioned there is way better than the "emo" of the mtv2 world today
