guys, i grew up in the 70's, my height was the 80's, started being in the band in the 90's and again now..
we just have to accept the "sign of the times". what EMO is today is like our "NEW WAVE", "HARCORE" or "PUNK ROCK" way back in our time. only: IT HAS THE TWIST OF THE MODERN TIMES..
-parang noon uso bell bottoms/flare pants, pero high waisted noon, low wasted ngayon. so goes for skinny jeans, noon nga lang we call it strech jeans and high waisted din. uso din one sided noon like ngyaon, even eyleliners etc. retro shoes are back, except may halong pagka-modern na.. i hope you guys get it.. sayang miss ko na ang Bla-Bla na shoes, crayon, dayfull, bigman and Creepers ng Glenmore!! heheheh...
emo as based on the "emotional" content during the 80's:
"the hurting" album of Tears for Fears with songs of "mad world" & "pale shelter", take note of the outfit sa mga videos!! hhehehehe..
"somebody" of depeche mode.
"the smiths"
"lotus eaters"
"flock of segulls"
"china crisis"
"talk talk"
i can go on & on. kung nauso lang ang "emo" term noon, un na ang ginamit.
still, many people at that time de-hin gets ang new wave, pero some do. parang ganun lang ang emo ngayon. let's just take it as it is..
it is till music so why not accept it? we don't have to embrace it, it's just part of our musical history.
