And his lyrics aren't very good.
Let's all get over it.
If he doesn't write lyrics, how can they not be very good? 
Yeah, If he's PAYING people to write them for him then they shouldn't suck.
(which they don't anyways)

"Emo" is not short for "Emotional." "Emo" does not mean Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional, despite what MTV has lead you to believe in the last few years. "Emo" is not sidebangs, tight pants, and male vocalists who sing like little girls about their failed relationships. "Emo" is not the use of diluted, meaningless metaphors and similes such as "My arms are like pinecones," and most definitely is not the rampant use of words such as "autumn," "heart," "knife," "bleeding," "leaves," and "razorblade."
I just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands."
Now, onto the real definition.
In the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as "Emotive Hardcore," spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term "Emo" as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of "Emotive" Hardcore bands. That's right, "Emo" was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Black And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there's still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records' roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don't quite follow that philosophy.
Often, more recently, this gets intertwined with post-hardcore, and understandably so - that's nothing to make an issue of, since well shit, at least it's close.
Since the late 90s, though, bands have been emerging in the vein of Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the thousands of their clones. As far as I can tell, some lazy journalist somewhere, writing an article about them, decided "Well, fuck, no one knows what emo is anyways, so I'll call these bands "emo" - sounds more appealing than bubblegum pop rock..." and the spiral continued downwards into the current amalgomation of bands MTV has told everyone is "emo."
Somehow, people decided that "emo" meant "emotional," which is obviously bullshit, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make "emotional" a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap.
Hope that helps.
Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, and My Chemical Romance falls under the "horrible pop rock" genre, not the emo genre.
Rites of Spring is emo.
 I didn't know that. |

How can I just stop loving a band Ive held so close to my heart since I was 5 when I used to fall asleep to them for example.
Sure I understand why a lot of you do but daymn. Everyone changes, including Green Day. I like how A LOT of you cant see the changes between Dookie to Insomniac, Insomniac to Nimrod, Nimrod to Warning, ect. EVERY ALBUM HAS BEEN A CHANGE. Just because American Idiot is the newest album you all pay it off, and yeah its a bit more "pop-ier" and its a lot more 'edited' then their other albums but its still.... -sighs-
So once again, Im not "over" Green Day and never will be.
Aww .. that warms my Green Day filled heart  
 I know, how touching I can be. |

| April 18th, 2006 at 11:13am Well, I still have a huge interest in Green Day, I always have, but it's periods where I really feel like needing them, and that's when I'm really hysteric.
And then there are periods when I just... well when it's kind of redundant, I don't really feel that "Oh holy shit I LOVE Green Day" when I say I do or so. Even though I do, but it has turned redundant. Like, repeating (well I admit  ) sitting talking to posters, dreaming about them justcause I'm used to, it has turned to a routine. But I will never lose interest in them.
Cause I love Green Day, even if I right now don't get the "oh holy shit-feeling", you know. |

Posts: 3732 | April 18th, 2006 at 02:02pm I think that GSB made me lose interest in Green Day. People here love them too much and listen to them alone, and that is just sickening really.
And less we forget the fact that they are sellouts. They are everywhere nowadays, and it's just absolutely tiring.
But sure. I still listen to them once in a while. Most of their music is good and that is what matters. |

Yeah, GSB did contribute into this, I mean GSB is an awesome site and all but it's filled with 'teenies' that seem to lower intrest levels. Also, the Other Bands section introduces us into different types and genres of music. GSB got me out of Green Day, and into Slipknot, which is aweome. |
