Emo isn't the best music ever. Maybe to you it is, but for some people it sounds like whiny crap.



By the way, Bright Eyes aren't emo. They're indie.

i agree emo music is not the best music ever. in fact a lot of emo bands - in my opinion are very whiny (not cause of high pitch voices but because they sing about crap). though some can be really poetic like Brand New, for example, others are just not. whatever happened to the 80's bands that wrote songs to make the listener think, question things, find answers (Pink Floyd). eh but emo is much better than most of the crap out todays neways.



btw if u want to know what emo music is about

play

Yeah I know, that's why I stick to older music from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Modern music is just sucking more and more as the years pass.

Bright Eyes IS emo. Listen to the lyrics.
I'm under no illusion

As to what I meant to you

But you made an impression

I do listen to the lyrics actually. But lyrics don't really have much to do with it, I'm afraid. A lot of new wave music such as The Cure writes emotional lyrics like this as if recounting a depressing story, but nobody considers The Cure as emo music. Everyone thinks they're just new wave. Just because Conor Oberst can't sing doesn't mean he makes emo music since emo musicians can't sing either. But I'm not the only one who disagrees with the fact that Bright Eyes is sometimes classified as emo.



""Bright Eyes" is a indie rock band fronted by Conor Oberst, an American singer-songwriter from Nebraska. Bright Eyes is often classified as emo, although some people strongly disagree with that label." Source
