This is classic punk mixed with post punk lets not try and put labels on them that they hated

chogokin666

This is hardcore if it wasnt I would detest it. It is very powerful hardcore ala Bad Brains. Whatever this band is genius and still fresh.

rites of spring said themselves they thought the term "emotional or emotive" hardcore was retarded as shit. im thinking emo still sucks

@TheWanderingPrimate picciotto didnt understand what emo ment either. it is short for ''emotive hardcore punk rock'' nothing with emotional.

@TheWanderingPrimate emo is short for emotive hardcore punk rock.

I really don't remember there being any emo kids even in the late '90s. I'm sure there might have been a few around somewhere, but emo was fairly unknown until 2002-03. I think in it's early years (1985-2001) you really had to be deep into the scene. 2002 on, and it's trendy and mainstream. It was extremely underground then though.

MrMacGrungy

@maimingbetty amen. Even mcr say their not emo :D

Watts660

Really people, how gives a rats ass about 'emo'. Rites of Spring were a fucking amazing band, period. Let the music speak for itself.

Wandering Primate

Sorry to double-post, I didn't understand what "pending approval" meant

Wandering Primate

Pfft haha! I wasn't expecting to see a lame "emo" battle on a Rites of Spring video. At no point has that meaningless pseudo-label ever entered my mind whilst rockin old Dischord albums, and I think Guy would agree: 'I've never recognized "emo" as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever... honestly, I just thought all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional?' - Picciotto

Wandering Primate

Hah what the eff? I didn't expect to see a lame "emo" argument on this video. At no point while listening to Rites or any such DC indie/hc bands have I ever even thought of that empty and meaningless pseudo-label. And Guy would agree: "I've never recognized "emo" as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever... The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional? What - they were robots or something?" - Picciotto - 2003 interview

@charlessale I think they add color to the video and even some historical context, Charles. I like that people still have discussions about music and bands and stuff :)
