Genre

[edit ]

Embrace and Rites of Spring were not "emo" bands even though some people say they have paved the way for that musical style. The music they played was more on the margins of "thoughtfull punk/hardcore" a blending of punk/hardcore music with positive and sometimes questioning lyrics about self control and personal struggle infused with just understanding the meaning of "treat others as you yourself would want them to treat you," straying away from the label punk rock gets as anarchy, drugs, destruction, etc. Embrace revelutionized punk and put out the message to care for oneself and others just as Minor Threat did in the past with being strait edge. And people used to think Minor Threat was a skinhead band! Some punk rock songs and bands today speak of unity, and have a pasionate goal to make the world they live in better and people don't call them "emo" and you can tell that D.C. hardcore helped found the basis for alot of the punk music today. So to call this "emo" would be like calling all birds ducks because emotions, such as anger, sadness, or fun, are in all types of music because music invokes emotions. So "emo" bands should find a new genre to go by insted of a word so undescriptive. So don't come together to sedate yourselfs and destroy, unite to live and make life and peace prosper.

Embrace wasn't an emo band, they could be catagorized has a hardcore or post-hardcore band, but not emo. They were influential to emo though, but you can't call them something that technically didn't exist yet.--Skeev 15:04, 23 February 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

« I don’t know what "emo" is. "Emo" was RITES OF SPRING and EMBRACE, and everything after that is... I don’t know what it is. But it’s not eyeliner and it isn’t faux-melodrama, and it’s not like, ‘I want to be buried in your back yard.’ » Dan YEMIN Frankff 23:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC) [reply ]


Embrace were a emocore band. Emocore was a genre of hardcore punk, so emocore fits them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.118.197 (talk) 23:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
