"I must be emo"

ozzfest is no ordinary concert...

 

What I want to know is, how come the 'emo' subgenre HAS to be all, "Nobody understands me, my life sucks" whiny and depressed-like. If 'emo' is short for 'emotional', couldn't they be sickeningly happy or angry at The Man as well? Isn't all music 'emo'? :smt043

I love goofy-ass misnomers. :-D

 

Was this your gig, San Bernardino - if so take a look at this on the maiden site:

Ozzfest is coming to Charlotte, but the only reason I wanted to see them was for In Flames. I'm not really a metal person, other than In Flames and a few other bands (Opeth and Killswitch Engage come to mind). I don't like the general headbanging garbage that most people who attend these events take part in. I'd rather just sit there and listen.

The "emo" phase has been an interesting one. I have a friend right now who has the black plastic framed sunglasses, the general "the world doesn't understand me" crap, tight clothing, and more Mars Volta than you can shake a stick at (I like Mars Volta, but you know ). He still swears up and down he's not trying to follow the emo trend.

 

yup that was it, intresting they did not mention anything on sharons comment, oh well.
