I found this... "Happy Punk"? ??? Their music doesn't seem very happy to me. Who cares what genre it is, I really like this song but it would've been better if the singer didn't scream the chorus too much. Its funny how popular they are in Mexico, but no one here knows who they are... www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AMXeLi-Oms |

They have been around for a while, right? There actually playing tonight in Austin, TX as part of the SXSW Music Festival. Zoe, another great Mexican rock band, will also be there as well as Bloc Party and other cool english bands. I am so pissed I couldn't go!!  |

Yeah, they've been around for a couple of years now but it wasn't until 2005 when they got popular. Its funny how one of their albums was named "Arroz Con Leche" and now most of their songs have these emo-abstract titles.

What exactly does "emo" mean? I'm not quite sure. I know when people use that term they are referring to bands like Fall Out Boy, Panic!, and My Chemical Romance, but I just see them as alternative rock. What makes them emo?
Somebody told me Bloc Party (a band I love) was emo, and eventhough I didn't agree I couldn't really argue with this guy b/c I had no clue what he was talking about? Is Bloc Party really emo? ???

Good question. I could go on and on and write an entire essay on what it is or what its not. But simply put, everyone has a different opinion on what that stupid term means. But when they use it to describe those bands you mentioned its probably more to do with their image than their music. I had always associated that term with "kill yourself music" and My Chemical Romance are the only ones that make music close to that.
Bloc Party is not emo. Do they sound like MCR, FOB, and Panic? No. The person that told you that they were emo is an idiot.

To me all those bands look alike. I really can't tell them apart. You can also add Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and All American Rejects. I'm just not a fan of that style.
But "kill yourself music" is not an appropriate term either, is it? Rufus Wainwright and Fiona Apple record extremely depressing music (I'm guessing that's what you mean by "kill yourself") and they are definately NOT emo. My 8th grade niece believes emo menas cutting yourself. LOL!
