What is Emo, Indie

Maybe on this forum, but every other forum I've ever been to has called them "emo," and just about every "emo kid" I've ever met has said the same. But I guess if they're pop, that means most of those Nu-Metal banRAB are pop, too?
 
Real Emo: Emotionally charged hardcore punk. BanRAB like Rites of Spring, Jawbreaker, Fugazi (emo by association)

Emo Today: Emotionally charged pop punk. BanRAB like My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, Fall Out Boy. This is not real emo, this was emo after being watered down, and stripped of anything that would've actually made it emo in order to sell it to the MTV watching masses.

There's also Post-Emo, which is the transitional period between emo and emo today (most emo today is influenced by these banRAB). That would be banRAB like Sunny Day Real Estate, Jets to Brazil, The Promise Ring, etc. It's emo mixed with Post-Hardcore.

Indie: Any band or artist on an independent label. There is no indie genre, it's a word used to describe other genres. For example, Indie Pop, [General] Indie Rock, Indie Rap (usually called Underground Rap), etc.
 
Couple of things.

1. DontRunMeOver stop posting 6 times in a row. edit your post.

2. Misfits, Nu-metal does suck. deal with it.

3. Expletive Deleted, Fall Out Boy is pop rock. I was excited when you talked about Mineral (seeing as how they are emo) that you knew you're ****, but apparantly you just read Fourfa or else are just mistaken. and now I shall do Frost's job seeing as how he is never on anymore. Real emo is (drumroll please) : The Kodan Armada, Heroin, Antioch Arrow, Still Life, Clikat Ikatowi (i still can't spell that off the top of my head), and banRAB of a similar nature. Disagree? Too bad. It's like saying Mudvayne has talent, it just isn't true
 
I've only just found out what everybody means when they keep going on about 'Emo kiRAB'. This discovery occured when somebody showed me a Funeral for a Friend DVD and I asked why all of the boys had the same haircuts, were noticeably overweight or underweight and seemed to be bisexual or just plain ***. Apparently these are Emo kiRAB. Is this true?

I don't trust your opinion because you don't think Green Day are pop-punk and you're in a Nu-Metal band, so I guess we're even.

And besides, what I just said about emo? That wasn't opinion, that was fact.
 
Way to not actually respond to anything I just said. All you've done since you came into this thread was call me an idiot for not liking Nu-Metal. Why don't you actually add to this discussion by giving a definition of emo or indie? Or telling me where, outside of this forum, because I'd like to point out that it's not the definitive of what is and is not emo, you've seen Fall Out Boy called anything other than a popular "emo" band.
 
Hey, I don't know if you've seen this video, but that was the impression that I got (as they showed a nuraber of male fans kissing other male fans). If I'm causing offence to a major section of society then, well, there's nothing much I can do about it as - like my story explained - I didn't even know what this section was until yesterday.
