I have yet to hear 1. A great riff not just a catchy song. 4. A guitar solo longer than 5 seconds. Good day to you.

You know, there's more to a song then guitars. Although I can't really disagree with 2 or 3, you still fail.

Um, nobody in Queen was gay. Freddie was bi. Brian, John, and Roger are all straight. Get it through your head.

ok. look. can we just stick with MCR is a shit band. stop your bitching about how tehyre misunderstood, because no one wants to hear that shit. and no one ever said we were just listing emo bands, so.. bugger off!

and papa roach does suck, unless you are pre-pubescent

"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.

Dragonforce is awesome!

Herman Li (Herman Ri) is a sick guitarist... He probably melted your face too much, and so you're all angry.

AFI, Greenday, and Papa Roach had some really good stuff way back when. Why the fuck is A Perfect Circle on that list? They're pretty good!

ok, shit, you're right. I wouldn't have agreed with you on that a year ago, but now i too think te same.

I would say The Village People were a gay band. These bands aren't really gay just because some don't like them. Still, I would say you are right about those bands being shitty.
Thats my opinion though, alot of NG'ers enjoy their music.
There are gayer ones though.
The majority of 'Bands" on BeBo. I realised how gay they really were a while ago when shitloads cropped up called things like Gay Rights Supporters Band. Now thats gay!
Hehe.
And thats my two cents.

I like a few of the songs by these bands lol xD especially fallout boy

First of all, DragonForce have some pretty sweet shit.
/*But don't see them live*/
Second of all, Nickelback isn't great, but he shouldn't be on the top 20 worst of all time.

What about Gay Boy Bill and the Buttfuckers? They were pretty gay...

At 7/18/07 03:51 PM, DevineMercy wrote: 1. AFI

I stopped reading right there. AFI is one of the pioneers of thirdwave punk. They just suck post 2004 because they got all emo and bitchy.

Keep in mind these bands are the "gayest" not necessarily bad:

1. Manowar
2. Iron Maiden
3. Judas Priest
4. DragonForce
5. Nightwish
6. Blind Guardian
7. Symphony X
8. Kamelot
9. Sonata Arctica
10. Demons & Wizards

11-20 I'm sure you can add your own power/symphonic metal bands to fill the rest up, to me this is the most homoerotic music ever made and should be burnt in large piles. This is the kind of music that gives "metal" a bad name and will get you laughed at for being a metal fan. Remember kids say no to dungeons and dragon metal.

Funny thing about that list. If you like one of those bands, you're certain to like the rest, because besides Iron Maiden, and Priest, they all sound exactly the same.

i agree with all of the list except for nickelback. put korn in there

Woah woah woah, hold up. Fuck you.

The rest are gay emo bands though, you're right there.

Don't forget Yngwie Malmsteen and John Petrucci.

You either live in someones ass or in a box because alot of people hate FallOutBoy.

Ive gotta say I dont mind some of those bands. If they were so gay, why would they have such large fan bases or such expensive record contracts?
FOB, my chemical romance, papa roach the used etc arent gay.

Gay is Take That, Westlife, Backstreet Boys, Village people etc.

Well, here is my list of the "gayest (as well as the ones that suck)" bands out there:

1. Dead or Alive (think Meatspin)
2. Slipknot
3. Danity Kane
4. Sum 41
5. Justin Timberlake
6. My Chemical Romance
7. Scissor Sisters
8. Panic! at the Disco
9. The Used
10. Fergie (ALL OF HER FUCKING SONGS ARE ABOUT HOW HOT SHE IS)
11. Dead or Alive

Maybe this list will keep me from being flamed by my fellow Newgrounders

Power Metal does not give Metal a bad name. They at least incorporate some talent into there music.
So what if they have High vocals? Metal isn't always about Vocals.

And I'm pretty sure most of that list don't sing about 'Dungeons' and 'Dragons'
