It all began with Punk music, punk music is defined by a fast paced tempo, or beat. Punk is also a subculture, and from the rebellious members of the punk subculture spawned hardcore music, a much faster and garage band like type of music. Hardcore music talked about society, and relationships more than punks and government. Both are considered punk however. Eventually hardcore spawned a bunch of people who couldn't stand the mosh pits and rough crowds, so basically they take the same lyrics as hardcore music, and toned them down... giving you EMOTIONAL hardcore. You really cant get more in touch with your feelings than hardcore already was, emo just succeeds in getting in touch with your feminine side :/
Unlike emo, hardcore is trying to make a positive difference, and their median is music. Emo is just bitching and wanting everyone to do shit for them. Lazy bastards.
FIRST FAILER BY GORILLA BISCUITS (HARDCORE)
I've worked so hard on things that never seemed to pay off.
But looking back I realize that I never really meant that much.
And I let you down.
It might not be the last time.
I'm sorry, and I know how it feels when my eyes see a loser in the mirror.
I think "what did I do?" sure I fucked up, but I got back up,
so that loser shits out the window
And if I let you down., it might not be the last time.
Cheer up, it will hurt much less tomorrow.
We're all tired of fucking up and that's not just being sorry.
It means brush the dirt off, get up and try again
When you1re sick of trying, how can you expect to succeed?
I can't recall my first failure, and I'll forget this one too over time
And if I let you down, it might not be the last time.
Cheer up, it will hurt much less tomorrow.
We're all tired of fucking up and that's not just being sorry.
It means brush the dirt off, get up and try again
I AM ON YOUR SIDE - HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS (EMO)
I never meant to hurt you
Sometimes these thoughts have a way of making sense
Secrets that we keep turn into accidents
If you burn away the bonds with the fire of selfishness
The positive and negative have a way of blending in
End this now, we've gone too far
Let's take back words that turn to scars
If I could find a way to turn back time
Had to let you know I'm on your side
Took the easy way out I shut myself down
The only way to ease the pain is to drink until I drown
I'll say it out loud my voice is the only sound
So listen up, I'll spell it out
I need your help, I need it now
End this now, we've gone too far
Let's take back words that turn to scars
If I could find a way to turn back time
Had to let you know I'm on your side
Am I now everything that you wanted me to be
tried my best took a shot in the dark and I lost
End this now, we've gone too far
Let's take back words that turn to scars
If I could find a way to turn back time
Had to let you know (had to let you know) I'm on your side
If I could find a way to turn back time
Had to let you know (had to let you know) I'm on your side [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
lilmegsoko answered Friday July 6 2007, 7:26 pm: Emo stands for "emotional" Its the name given to people, (especially teens) who wear dark clothes, keep their hair over their face, and are usually cutters. The big stereotype is that they are very "woe is me" They cry over nothing, and claim to be very depressed, and that their life is terrible. The guys usually wear girls jeans sagged halfway down their butts. Its a stereotype, but that is what "emo" means. [ lilmegsoko's advice column | Ask lilmegsoko A Question ]
