Kelly Osbourne gets "Used"

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

No, that's too glamorous. It's incredibly weak shit. Many emokids are vegans. Almost all I've encountered are straightedge. That's more with emocore, though, which just adds a few breakdowns and distortion to the pussiness.

From allmusic:

 

Originally an arty outgrowth of hardcore punk, emo became an important force in underground rock by the late '90s, appealing to modern-day punks and indie-rockers alike. Some emo leans toward the progressive side, full of complex guitar work, unorthodox song structures, arty noise, and extreme dynamic shifts; some emo is much closer to punk-pop, though it's a bit more intricate. Emo lyrics are deeply personal, usually either free-associative poetry or intimate confessionals. Though it's far less macho, emo is a direct descendant of hardcore's preoccupations with authenticity and anti-commercialism; it grew out of the conviction that commercially oriented music was too artificial and calculated to express any genuine emotion. Because the emo ideal is authentic, deeply felt emotion that defies rational analysis, the style can be prone to excess in its quest for ever-bigger peaks and releases. But at its best, emo has a sweeping power that manages to be visceral, challenging, and intimate all at once. The groundwork for emo was laid by Hüsker Dü's 1984 landmark Zen Arcade, which made it possible for hardcore bands to tackle more personal subject matter and write more tuneful and technically demanding songs. Emo emerged in Washington, D.C. not long after, amidst the remnants of the hardcore scene that had produced Minor Threat and Bad Brains. The term "emo" (sometimes lengthened to "emocore") was initially used to describe hardcore bands who favored expressive vocals over the typical barking rants; the first true emo band was Rites of Spring, followed by ex-Minor Threat singer Ian MacKaye's short-lived Embrace. MacKaye's Dischord label became the center for D.C.'s growing emo scene, releasing work by Rites of Spring, Dag Nasty, Nation of Ulysses, and MacKaye's collaboration with members of Rites of Spring, Fugazi. Fugazi became the definitive early emo band, crossing over to alternative rock listeners and getting press for their uncompromisingly anti-commercial attitudes. Aside from the Dischord stable, most early emo was deeply underground, recorded by extremely short-lived bands and released on vinyl in small quantities by small labels; some vocalists literally wept onstage during song climaxes, earning derision from hardcore purists. Fugazi notwithstanding, emo didn't really break out of obscurity until the mid-'90s emergence of Sunny Day Real Estate, whose early work defined the style in the minds of many. Tempering Fugazi's gnarled guitar webs with Seattle grunge, straight-up prog-rock, and crooned vocals, SDRE launched a thousand imitators who connected with their dramatic melodies and introspective mysticism. Some of this new generation connected equally with the wry, geeky introspection and catchy punk-pop of Weezer's Pinkerton album. While several artists continued to build on Fugazi's innovations (including Quicksand and Drive Like Jehu), most '90s emo bands borrowed from some combination of Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Weezer. Groups like the Promise Ring, the Get Up Kids, Braid, Texas Is the Reason, Jimmy Eat World, Joan of Arc, and Jets to Brazil earned substantial followings in the indie-rock world, making emo one of the more popular underground rock styles at the turn of the millennium.

 

"Emocore" is a more aggro version of the sound, and, basically, is what emo was before it--emo--became an all-encompassing term.

Damn, and these are the same guys who have the nerve to call 80's rock and other main stream rock/metal artist pussies?

 

Any how, thanks. You just confirmed for me that emo is basically "rock" music I hate.

 

With the exception of a little bit I have heard and liked from Hüsker Dü.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

They call other people pussies?

 

Guffaw.

[Guest Eyeball Kid]

Again, it's not in the emo nature to slag other people. They're too worried about physical retaliation to actually insult anyone.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

an emokid calling anyone a pussy would be like a hippie calling an 80's headbanger "longhair."

[Guest Sturgis]

I just thought of something why didn't he kust try to go out with that HOT asian chick Kelly hangs around with?

 

And yes emo does suck.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Poor Fugazi. Just cause they had the nerve to mix melodies with their hardcore, they get stuck as one of the "founding fathers" of emo.

[Guest swan]

Looks like she is so upset she is starting fights with Korn. Or maybe cause they suck, I don't know:

I fuckin' hate MTV. Thanks to them, Ozzy's family is dragging his name down.

 

I know someone will reply and say "Ozzy hasn't been good since blah blah"

 

It's still Ozzy Fuckin' Osbourne

 

btw, I don't feel like making a whole new Thread just for this.

 

I'm thinking about ordering Disturbed's "Believe." Is it worth it?

 

I've heard people say it's more Melodic and polished. But is the CD good?

Anyone thats complains about him not being any good anymore or whatever was never a fan in the first place.

Yes it is more polished, but it is a must buy.

I think Kelly is more spolied than Jack. Jack knows his palce in life and is just coasting thourgh his 15 min of fame, while Kelly will milk it til' it ends and even then she'll won't realize it, and keep going until she's sucking cock for crack.

[Guest Doomsault]

I didn't want to make a new topic just to say this but The Used sucks.
