Yayy, an occassion for all the emo's out there to part their hair at 45 deg, squeeze into ultra-tight jeans & slash their wrists...sigh, what has become of youth
I'm interested in hearing your reasons as to why you would class them as emo...?
"The Despair Factor"
Along the path where the stream is talking,
I breathe the mist and continue walking.
The wood it whispers in a language of it's own.
As a sigh escaped my lips,
I feel the light caress of fingertips that,
steal away the breath and leave me on my own.
Waiting by the stairs. (Waiting, I despair)
Waiting, I despair. (Waiting by the stairs)
My whole life is a dark room.
One, big, dark room.
Do I hear the hollow sound,
Footsteps resounding on this frozen ground,
Or the familiar disappointment of the echoes of my own?
Waiting by the stairs. (Waiting i despair)
Waiting, I despair. (Waiting by the stairs)
[whispers:]
Somehow I ended up here in between,
Where there is always the comfort,
Of knowing I'll never be seen.
When I fall
When I fall
I wait for just one touch,
And I fall
Weightless,
Endless,
Faithless, I'll adore you.
A single touch, before I fade. Painless let me pass through.

"Strength Through Wounding"
Through our bleeding, we are one.
Through the darkness breaks the light.
Through the light unending pain.
Deify the wretched ones till the darkness comes again
Hahaa need I say more?
Through our bleeding, we are one.
Through the darkness breaks the light.
Through the light unending pain.
Deify the wretched ones till the darkness comes again
anyone can post lyrics, how does that make them an emo band?
read the lyrics perhaps?
Yeah I can read the lyrics, I'm just asking for some clarification as to why those lyrics make the band an emo band?
I presume he means because the lyrics sound very emo.
I'm sorry if you like them Leebo, but yeah AFI are just a band I think of when all that other heap of self-loathing music that has somehow replaced the 'fad' of nu-metal...i mean it's essentially the same depressed crap, just with a punk/hardcore twist.
so what about them do you find particularly redeeming?

I do like AFI you're right, hate the new stuff though (this seems to happen with a lot of bands I like). I also like 'certain' emo bands so I don't see it as a derogatory term as such, but I am genuinely interested in why bands get labelled as emo so freely nowadays, and why in a negative way?! It seems to me that whenever a band writes lyrics about a girl fucking them over or something it is automatically emo! I notice on your profile deep_schismic that you like Tool... I looked up a few lyrics and based on lyrics alone, some of their songs could be construed to be emo too but they certainly aren't.
My personal opinion is that AFI are more straight-edge heavy goth punk, but as with any band it is impossible to define them under one genre (unless it's elvis or someone similar).
It's all a joke anyway - AFI have been around for years just like the Offspring, Green Day were, etc... then all of a sudden they 'explode' onto the scene and everyone loves them. I reckon there is some bigwig up in top level record company management that 'decides' which genre to become the new 'pop'. Take Arctic Monkeys for example - they're not a superband, they can't perform live, the music is basic and they're spotty kids but they still made it big! It doesn't make sense. For the record I do actually really like them but it is a travesty to all the other bands from Sheffield who make much better music yet play to audiences of 15 or so once a week.
OK so I veered off topic a bit there. I apologise for being antagonistic yesterday, I just happen to think that AFI are too good to be dismissed as emo therefore not even worth listening to! Especially when I don't even think they are emo! Sing the Sorrow is an immaculate album in my eyes.

Thanks.
