emo means emotional......;x
//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif Uh no. No it doesn't. Emo is
emotive post-hardcore. TONS of music is "emotional"--that doesn't make it emo.
The funny thing is the use of the term emo these days, particularly by people that just class emo into one big pile and think it's all about people cutting themselves and "crying about their lives". Pure ignorance.
There's so much stuff that people class as emo that's not at all emo. Add that to the fact that the use of the term applied to the many bands it is today, is quite debated as well.
Anyway AFI is also NOT emo and not even modern-day emo fans would call them that I don't think. If you listen to their songs and you think it's about them crying about their lives and killing themseleves like some clueless people have, well, then you have no clue about how they write their songs. A lot of their albums/songs are fictional stories about fictional characters, having nothing to do with their lives.
Also wearing makeup does not make you gay--it can also make you a rockstar, lol. Look at the guys in Kiss, look at Ozzy, look at... nevermind there's way too many examples to mention.
Anyway
Decemberunderground is an
awesome album IMO. I wasn't a big fan of AFI in the past as I didn't listen to them much but I decided to try out this one and it's amazing, now I have to go and get their old albums, lol. After hearing the album through once I could only think "why didn't I listen to these guys a long time ago?"
There's a great cover of Trent Reznor's (Nine Inch Nails) "Head Like a Hole" on the version of the album that has bonus tracks on it. Also the
Miss Murder single has a cover of INXS' "Don't Change".
