Rock music categories, there's so many! Please help me on the differences between industrial?, goth?, emo, classic rock, screamo, punk, rockabilly, etc etc. How does one keep up with it all??
industrial= nice inch nails, nirvana, grunge music
goth= marylin manson, cradel of filth. this has screaming in it and has to do with alot of death
emo- hawthorne heights, dassboard,cute os what we aim for, the used. this is very emotional and has to do with everything from love to friends and can have some screaming in it
classic rock= queen, cheap trick, aerosmith. these are bands that your parents would have listened to. bands from the 70s and 80s
screamo= underoath, drop dead gorgeous. this is mostly screaming, but can have some spoken in it. this is very emotional as well but more agressive
punk(my fav) the matches, from first to last, the casualties, anti flag. this is more uptempo. it talks bout everything from love and friends to politics and pets. this is great for people who like to jump up and down and be hyper
rockabilly=(also known as southern fried rock)lenard skinnard,kid rock. this is rockish with a southern twist
glam goth=aiden, my chemiacl romance, this has the best of goth, rock and emo all i n one and you can understand what they are saying
storageanddisposal answered Saturday April 15 2006, 10:17 pm: Classic rock is rock from awhile back. I usually place 70's rock in that category, but I suppose 80's would fit too since it's been 26 years since the start of the 80s.
Industrial is when certain sounds that mimic machinery or sounds you may find in industrial buildings are used frequently.
Emo is a subgenre of punk with extremely emotional music. Whiny, if you will. Hardcore (Aggressive punk) split off into two subgenres: those that remained hardcore and those that took to softer sounds, emo.
Screamo is a mixture of emo and hardcore.
Punk is generally a choppy, aggressive subgenre of rock with generally a political theme and commonly uses power chords.
Rockabilly is an extremely early form of rock. Normally sounds like it has strong blues and country influences.
Goth rock is hard to define. I think it originated by making glam rock far more aggressive.
