dream in japanese wrote:ummm...i'm not sure if you've noticed but a lot of bands change their sound to fit what's popular at the moment (example, sum 41, who now scream in their songs when they never did before). so i have a feeling the popular "emo" bands of today might disappear, or at least change their sounds for the next popular trend.


Screaming isnt an emo trait. There is screaming in emo but sum 41 did not change their to sound like an emo band. Sum 41 and its members are big fans of metal, which is probably where the influence came from. Lastly Sum 41 isnt "Emo."

i never said sum 41 were emo or trying to sound emo. i just used them as an example of a band who's changed their sound to what's popular.

Examples of bands changing their sound to something more like what's popular?

Gee, I can't for the life of me think of one...

Some religious band.

Lead singer has some hippy name about the weather or something.

Reno, I obviously hit a nerve calling you emo. I didn't ask you to post this. I don't care about a poll on the CM, you're emo.

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown
