I guess most of you has listened to what the tv wants us to belive is EMO...
and here comes something that has been in the alternative scene for years, and has an established name. Now the question:

Is Placebo EMO??

that was not at all the rambling question, I was trying to get some opinions on what is an alternative music with maniac depressive lyrics and what is really the EMO sound.
My view is a band like Placebo has everything to be an EMO band but they just say they aren't

Placebo has been around longer than that "genere" has, so I'm saying no.

yeah first answer on the subject!
still, you recon some logic on my statement don't you?
My opinio is that placebo is really great music, EMO unfortunatly isn't it's just comercial, and my point is labels are so desperate to create this trend that they've ignored the already existing music on the topic

To be honest, I've never even heard Placebo referenced to emo. I'm not a huge fan, but I do enjoy a few of their jams. Really, emo is a label thrown around too often, but really, thrown at the wrong bands.

Emo = short for emotion. If music isn't made with emotion, there's no point in making it.

EMO is deffined as the punk sound meeting the indie lyrics
Technicaly poor musicians that had depressive lyrics.
Indie has changed to Indie label and emo has to what we know are presented as it. but if we dig deeper we can find voids like this. do you understand what i'm saying?
