Emo punk vs. poser vs. pirates? in-depth review

Who'se an "emo punk"? A punk into emo punk music. And yes emo is punk music. emo - short for "emotional." Emo is a broad title that covers a lot of different styles of emotionally-charged punk rock. Emo is a sub genre of hardcore punk music. The The first wave (1985–1994) of emo music came from bands like Rites of Spring, Moss Icon, Nation of Ulysses, Dag Nasty, Shudder To Think, Fire Party, Marginal Man, and Gray Matter, The second wave (1994–2000) had bands such as The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World and Texas Is the Reason.The third wave (2000–Present) has bands such as AFI, Alexisonfire, A Static Lullaby, Brand New, Coheed and Cambria, Fall Out Boy, Finch, From Autumn To Ashes, From First To Last, Funeral for a Friend, Hawthorne Heights, Matchbook Romance, My Chemical Romance, Silverstein, Something Corporate, The Starting Line, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Thrice, and Thursday. One of the biggest problems of emo today is punk has abandon the music and culture/movement it created. Although many of these emo bands emerged from legitimate punk rock scenes, they grew to be despised by veteran fans of punk who considered the genre to be fake. So it leads emo to be used by the mainstream music industry and society. Many punks are judgmental and critical of emo just the way people of the past have been of other punk music and punk movents. These veteran punk are in no way different.That is not what punk is suppose to be about. Its suppose to be oppen to diffrent thing and individualism. There is problems with emo music and the emo movent but unstead of veteran punks being help to these trouble teens, They become critical and judgmental.If this is what punk has become then maybe it should be dead. Punk instead of being help to emo music and the emo movent it has become apart of the problem in many ways.



Ok to start off emo posers are really annoying they claim they are emo but when situations change so does there persona.1. They have the "image" of an emo (the hair, tight pants, keys clipped onto their belt loop, "a must have emo band shirt to signify there emoness") 2. The are not really emotional its an act to get some dipshit girl to like them. i.e. they cant write poems or play guitar (when they try they turn the distortion up to 10 and cant even finish a fucking guitar riff) sometimes they will even try to sing! *person shoots themselves with gun*3. The biggest thing is there "adaptabiltiy" heres a perfect example... i was at this rap/emo band concert a couple weeks back. the first act was this horrendous rap group sure enough all the wannabe emos are trying to dance really fast like a black guy "you know all the usher shit" and trying to show off for their girls i was about to slap one of them because the fakeness was getting to me...., but heres the clincher when the emo band comes on there all back to crying NOT there moshing? yeah since when do emos mosh whatever happened to sit and cry in the corner because i ran out of tampons? hmm im not sure4 actually heres the best part once the shows over there all quiet and sad and regular emo whats that all about? ugh the mysterious mind of a person wanting to fit in...POSERS! stay away from these people

However, an emo pirate is rather a different one. A phrase popularized by the Corner Pocket webcomic community. An Emo Pirate is usually a teenager with the oh-so-unique "myspace" haircut - black and blue/red, slathered over one eye like an eyepatch. According to the experts, true Emo Pirates use Kraken ink to get the eyepatch just right.One can immediately identify an Emo Pirate captain by the presence of more makeup and tighter pants than the other males. Legendary captains like Sadbeard and Jack Scarrow have been known to possess the infamous "double eyepatch," where both eyes are completely covered.If one is confronted by an Emo Pirate, the best choice of action is to direct a can of bear spray into the bare eye. In the event of being out of bear spray, simply scream "YARR, matey!," and run. (excerpted from urbandictionary)
