As vague as musical labels can be, I guess Eisley could be called emo. Eisley doesn't play the music that matches the definition of the masses, but they do sometimes fit in well with its musical originators. Insofar as that goes, this is kind of insipid. So would Eisley not be cool anymore if they definitely fell under the emo label? Does that mean Marvelous Things isn't so marvelous anymore? Just a thought. Thankfully, Eisley doesn't set out to be any genre when they write songs. So I don't think we should worry. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Snob: Who's your favorite band? John: Eisley Snob: The chick-band? John: uh yeah? Snob: Do you cut yourself? aahh. the things that piss me off and humor me at the same time. _________________

Emo doesn't exist!! It has become so vague and confusing that I've begun to simply deny its existence! _________________

I have no clue what the heck Emo meant/means or doesn't mean, and I'm cool with that. Genre termonaligy has confused and boggled my mind since forever, and that is why I just say "this band is rad" _________________ Kyle ~ like a boy.. only I'm a girl (g i r l) www.myspace.com/smiliekylie (p r o o f) |

I was trying to explain what "emo" was to some people at work because some kids were calling themselves that. My friends were just like "back when we were in school they were "skaters."" either way, I couldn't really come up with a good explaination. |

*fade out to 10 years in the future and a programme entitled "I Love The 00s"* *in a chair sits a wrinkled Ricky Gervais or another important social commentator of our time* "Emo was a violent cultural reaction to a youth made passive and nonchalant by 90s MTV culture. In Emo we see the archetypal themes of adolescence invested with a new kind of cultural significance. To break up with one's girlfriend is no longer a trivial event but rather a post-ironic tragedy with risk of destabilising the individual's thin veneer of anchorage to an ever-changing world of Ipods and ringtones. Emo was, to a whole generation, the defiant stand of adolescence to the conformity of repressive out-moded institutions etc. etc." Save this paragraph. In ten years, you'll be able to use it in your career as a pop music historian and sociologist.  How about an advance look at the Eisley retrospective ten years hence? _________________ Sing again, with your dear voice revealing A tone Of some world far from ours, Where music and moonlight and feeling Are one. --Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822) |

For as while I thought ska was emo, but then someone told me it wasn't, and I just decided to forget about it. _________________
