emo means emotionally disturbed, they're people(mostly teens) that wear chains, leather straps,buncha peircings( not in ears), and a majority of them are into self mutilation, meaning they take knives and slit their wrists. and
and j.o.p. OASIS is absolutly amazing. i just got their cd yesterday

and i've gotta say the most over rated band is slipknot. it's an emo band that screams and blairs out guitar... they don't even play anything... they just make lotsa noise and scream as loud as they can... the new thing is "screamo", it blows
, its emotionally disturbed screaming.
i can't figure out how anybody could ever enjoy it...

U2. They have used the same guitar chord in every song that ever hit the radio. They're like the McDonalds of rock, they're not popular because they're good, it's because they have so little flavor it's hard to find anything you don't like about them.
UNO! DOS! TRES! AGUJEREADO!

that's not emo...that's metal
emo would be taking back sunday, thursday, saves the day, death cab for cutie. those are some of the best emo bands lol
screamo is also different than metal. a screamo band would be underoath

now you're thinking "goth", goth kids don't cut their wrists... goth kids wear black write poetry, and are really quiet... emo's wear chains, cut their wrists, listen to screamo... just look at 3 letters in screamo, the E, the M, and the O, and j.o.p. i don't care how good slip knot's drummer is... it's not worth listening to the screaming and random guitar "playing", but goth and emo isn't what this thread's about, lets get back to overated...acdc!

Just to show that your wrong. Here is a picture of a goth wearing chains and a picture of Underoath, a screamo band. (Top: Goth, Bottom: Underoath)

so... with a hair cut emo people could look respectable...
I'd have to say Guns N roses are highly overrated, along with nirvana. and maybe even Smashing pumpkins.

demartini, there are obviously exceptions to everything, and in my study hall i sit by a kid that wears all black, dies his hair black,he's silent unless spoken to and has 1 word replies, and reads and writes poetry constantly, i asked him if he's emo- his answer was "no", i asked are you goth his answer-"yes", in my 2nd study hall i sit next to a kid with slits all down his wrists, "bondage" pants as they call them,(pants with leather straps, and chains around them), and he wears a "choker", its a dog collar that you use to choke them when they bark. i've asked him if he was emo or goth, he replied emo, i would take pictures of them for you, but both of them are juniors, and would beat the **** out of me, and goth/emo is more opiniotive. thats like telling somebody what is "cool", and i'm tired of disputing this.
and i don't see how smashing pumkins are overrated?, not that many people even know them. and yes guns and roses are ridiculously overrated, they had sweet child of mine, that was their one and only

Actually, they had something like 10+ radio releases. Most of which were huge hits. And they would have had more, but they only made a few albums. A lot of their best stuff never hit the radio. It was pretty controversial music at the time. Since you appear to still be in high school I suspect that you might not have even given them a good try. It seems like most people 20 and younger automatically write off slightly older music. At least the ones I know do.

yes, you're completely right... im a freshman and i don't like MOST older music, but i have a 27yr old brother, so i've heard guns n roses, and alota older stuff to, and i think most of their stuff wasn't that great., and if you listen to velvet revolver which if you don't know is a band with like 2-3 members from guns and roses, they aren't that good.
