Wow, Mankie and I totally agree on something musically.

I would say, that's the life of a snake handler. But most people on this board probably don't know what that means and they'd take a cheap shot.

But many bands tagged as emo aren't whiny. To me, shoegazer is whiny (and more descriptive of a musical genre).
Kosmo, the link to the primer on emo was tres cool, thanks. When I have more time, I will read it ALL.
And as an FYI, Celeste, I hope you didn't think I was criticizing your initial post. Just an observation of a term that gets used a lot but leaves me confused.
Your extrapolation on the Dandy Warhol show has reinforced my inclination to miss that show. I know some folks love them, but I think they're not fully my cup of tea. I need more rock and/or pop in my shows. Yo La Tenga drives me crazy live, for instance.

When I think Emo I think the first generation of Emo bands from DC. They were just hardcore with songs more about personal issues than F**K the government.
As to the Dandy Warhols, I saw them years back and they were good and pop-y, they cancelled their 13 stories tour here but I will probably go to this show as it sounds like they were in a bad mood and decided that the room and PA were unusable so might as well be obnoxious. I assume that they will be in line at the 9:30 or eddie or thatguy will have to get them back in line…

I know it wouldn't have bothered you, just wanted to be sure you knew that wasn't my intent. I want to be one of the non-flaming board members!
FYI, based on the emo site Kosmo suggested, my genre is post-emo indie rock. I should've known!!

(now that I've said that, I'll probably end up in some long, drawn out board battle with someone!)
