But doesn't raising morale actually REDUCE the emo population?
By the way, West, its spelled "Masturbate", not "Masterbate" as in your sig.

No. I guess you might think that if you go by the shallow overused lame version of what people THINK emo is. Now that she abandoned ship it really makes me want to get all into this but i wont because emo has its stereotype now and not many will know what it really was meant to be or what it really is. But i guess thats how all stereotypes work. People just come up with their own definitions of it.
All i know for sure is West, you are on a path to certain destruction. I will let you choose your fate, lest you make me decide for you. Either way i promise pain anguish and more pain.Jit's definition of Emo music....In my opinion you do take the Emo from emotion, and that shows the very root of the evil sprouting here. Too many people look at emotion, especially the expression of emotion, as weak or wierd or something negative that makes no sense. What i consider Emo music is a form of punk, which isnt always positive but its at least not as laced with negativity. Most emo unfortunately is bands like Dashboard Confessional, which actually is a band i like, but stay on the same topic way too much, to soak up that crowd of lonely conflicted 14 to 16 year old girls. But there are bands that sing about other emotions as well. One sees what one wants to see, and usually wont see anything else, so thats where the confusion is. I dont claim this to be what emo is but in my opinion its music with an emotion that has a punk accoustic kind of feel to it. Punk minus the anarchy aspect. I dunno, to each his own, thats why i wont argue much about this topic, but i wanted to take a shot at explaining the way i look at it. Theres another layer to it that i cant really put into words but its just like a kind of spirit the music has that you feel when you listen to it, i think any good music has this soul or spirit kind of feel to it and i think each person should let that be to them what it is to them, not what someone else labels it as.

Saying "Emo stands for Emotional because its emotional music" is dumb. All music has emotion, whether its anger or joy or regret or hope. Emo music is grouped together because the emotion in question is always whiny white-boy teenage angst. I don't begrudge you for liking it - hell, I like some of it! - but claiming that its "music with emotion" does a disservice to every song out there that isn't crying about the girl who broke up with the lead singer in the 10th grade.
Like I said earlier, I like quite a few "emo" songs. So please don't think this is a personal attack against people that like emo music. What i DISLIKE is the emo scene (and the fashioncore scene, and whatever the fuck scene My Chemical Romance is).

I'm not anti-emotions justin.
The main thing that bother me about emo is that alot of its very uncreative music, guys sings in ranges that makes them sound like their whining,and i just hate those pants.....
I mean its just so uncreative in my head, now i know there probably some creative emo bands, hell i like some emo core bands because I find them creative like atreyu, poison the well, and from autumn to ashes.
I understand thats easy to persucute and entire genre, but I've hardly heard any emo that really been to appealing.
But vice versa you could take the same stance on metal saying its a bunch of satan worshipping basterds screamming with tuned done guitars.
BUt since I know the genre of Metal I know what bands are creative non satanic worshipping awsome bands.
So show me the creative non whining non tight pants wearing emo band justin

So Emo is about passion. When you really need to say something, when its driving you insane, and instead of letting it out like someone who has it together you scream. When music is more about getting across the message than it is about having fun. Emo is easy to compare to literature beacause only the good books change how you feel inside. Emo fucks with your head.

As am I Arc, as am I... It probably has to do with the fact that this board is not based solely on one game...

Also the fact that I'm one of the guys in charge and Daemon is plain lazy.

Congrats West.
Blinky, well worded. A++.
I think it should be somewhat strict, but im talking in like places that have steady traffic. I think it should still be loose, it shouldnt be retarded. But in a board with a lot of specific categories and whatnot, its nice to stay somewhat on subject, and leave the other stuff for like the general discussion or whatever its named at that site.

Oh god, I had my share of that on one of the message boards a kid from school managed. They banned you if you went off topic. No warning, just automatic ban.
