??? Should I g ive half a thought to weither my faimly supports the music that I listen to or not.
What's wrong with listening to the works of art by Offspring, Coldplay, Nickelback, Greenday, and even The Diary Of A Dead Man.
Post Script: I was creeped out by this music video, "Quiet As A Mouse," on Crackle but it still pretty great! :shcoked: :) :P
-
Heh, my parents would probably smack me if they knew about some of the stuff I listen to. They don't support my music choices at all, but it's really not a big deal. It's just music, and I want to listen to whatever makes me feel happy. And you should do the same. I just don't play my music around them, or I wear headphones.
-
Yea. I have a few, but I listen to smooth jazz most of the time anyway... :P
-
Ahh... that's real mature arf ... then again instead of a bell my school plays jazz. Maybe it means something... or maybe not. :sniffle: ???

My mom doesnt like a lot of music I listen to, and I think a lot of it is pretty toned down and good, she absolutely hates things with lots of swears like Mindless Self Indulgence, but I just dont listen to it when shes around.
You should look at it this way, they grew up listening to COMPLETELY different music, and oftentimes people dont like things out of their own norm or what they have established as what they like. I dont like my moms 70s and 80s music, she doesnt like my 00s music. Its kinda like your friends, are you really all that concerned with whether you like their music and you like theirs? Everyone has different likes, oh well, respect it, move on, and dont disrespect them by playing things they absolutely hate.

You got something against smooth jazz? Sometimes I just don't wanna hear any person singing and relax. (Snort)
-
Oh no you got me all, I don't have nothing against jazz omg. You just seemed to dis my yen for alternative rock... sorry! :th_PyongLlora:
-
? I'm sorry! I didn't mean to dis anything, just saying that I listen to it when I need to draw or other calm stuff. I listen to a mash of a bunch of alternitive rock, metal, and some techno other times. (Hugs Zinc)
-
Thanks, I'm sorry I thought you could be that cruel. Friends? :)
-
I just hugged you, didn't I? :P
Yup!
-
In fact, my parents think it's a bit strange how I take such a fond outlook on the Classical genre, but in a good way.
Of course, most other kids think it's old people music.

I guest you did, didn't you. Stupid question huh? ???

my parents dislike my love for emo, hardrock, punk and metalcore (and more stuff like that), but its not up to them to judge over the music i listen to. it should never be.. you should just listen to the music you enjoy most : )
-
??? Yeah, your right I do have the right to listen to whatever I want but... but you might have to explain to me what emo is. =s

its just a genre of music.. like, rock music if you will.. the lyrics tend to be angsty and emotional. that's about all i can really explain about it. its commonly a sublable though.. like, a post-hardcore song can still be emo. example is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAvYXcJV3sA
honestly, its hard to find songs that have really been labeled emo by the artist.. my chemical romance for example, they are commonly called emo, but actually dislike the label themselves.. i call it emo because most people will know what sort of music someone's talking about.. most people wil know its the angsty kinda music.
2 examples of "emo" artists are; Fall Out Boy and Funeral for a Friend.. but it really comes in all possible ways, and i dislike to use the label myself to be honest, but its a easy way to let people know what kinda songs you're thinking about.

sorry for the vagueness of the description, its getting late, and im getting tired :P
-
??? Songs with emotional lyrics ehh... :) Yeah I listen to songs like those! Songs like Viva La Vida by Coldplay, and Got To Be Somebody by Nickleback. :th_Pyong-1: I love those songs!!!

neither of those songs really identify as emo though... i cant explain it, but coldplay is just alternative, and nickelback is alternative rock.. though the term has been dropped one or two times, nickelback is by no means "emo".
i recommend you to look up emo on wikipedia, that'll give a better explanation than i can do :P
-
grr ... okay that was confusing. The artical was under some extreme revamping but l'm sure of one thing, I never listen to any of that!!!

Quite, Wiki explains alot of things, it's a good shot if you really want to see a really good description of Emo (If it the article is written properly). I know it used to be just a music type, then it became a style followed by it's pejorative evolution. People often point out unusual artists with 'unique' clothing styles as Emos, Panic! at the Disco is a great example, but I don't think they are.
I listen to Electro/nica, Rave and House, all pretty similar. I mostly listen to Crystal Castles, Ratatat and Justice, tough Ratatat is just qualified differently by alot of people, I consider it in one of those styles. Electro varies alot between artists, but the sounds they use is what qualify them into those groups. When my siblings hear some of my music, they tell me to turn the volume down or use my headphones (Tough they lower the sound's quality). My brother and his girlfriend just hate it when I listen to it, may it be for five seconds. I don't know if it's the music that makes them unlovable, but they really don't appreciate it.

Aiden, AFI, My Chemical Romance, Alkaline Trio, Dashboard Confessional, Evans Blue, Hawthorne Heights, Death Cab for Cutie and Senses Fail can all be considered Emo in certain terms. Basically if most of the songs are either angry at life and/or depressing at the same time can be considered Emo, but only if they primarily sing along those lines. Nickleback have sad songs, but they are more like 'life sucks but we keep going.' Hawthorne Heights is a really good example of Emo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezA5__H8ksA most of their songs are very angsty.

that's pretty much a perfect description

Only if I had a computer instead of using this PSP, I might have understood half of what you'll just said. :'(

My parents absolutely loathe the music that I listen to. So, I bought a CD case with a lock on it. HAH! Of course, now they go through all the stuff I have on my computer and freak out about that. Seriously, what's wrong with Amon Amarth, Metallica, Disturbed, My Chemical Romance and such? Music Nazis... ???
