The type of person who plays an instrument (mainly guitar) just because they would like to fit in. They usually congregate into a "band" and play incredibly repetitive music, have no knowledge of music theory, and put down musicians who have a passion for what they do.
Band Faggot: Hey, that marching band is gay. Let's point and laugh at them, then go and play some real music.
Band Geek: Real music? The one with the three chords and the F-Bomb repeated 73 times?

Marching Band is the best experience you can have in your life. You make the best friends you ever will. Nobody could replace this family.
Marching Band really does work harder then football. At my school, there is a football camp. It is from 8 AM till 11 AM. The band Practices From 7AM till 4PM. Last season, 5 kids had to go to the hospital in a ambulance because the band director worked them too hard in 101 degree weather. We get a water break every 2 hours, and it only lasts 5 minutes, then it is back to work. the football players have no respect for us. We have to practice in the parking lot. If The Band director doesn't like what we are doing he makes us do this thing where we get into a push up position, but don't push up. It is harder said than done. If anyone falls, he makes us do it longer. We have practice on the first day of school. Then, we have a practice every monday and wendsday for 3 hours, friday for 5, and then after the friday practice, we have a football game to preform at. Saturdays we have a competition, and sundays we have a 9 hour practice. Oh, and for the colorguarders, like me, and then some band kids who choose to, it is a full year thing. There is winterguard. Its Not quite as brutal. In winterguard, you have 12 hour practices. The winterguard season starts BEFORE the fall guard season ends, so there is no time for a break. The end of winterguard marks the tryouts for Fall guard.The band director doesnt work us so hard because HE wants to, but because we TELL him to.

Most people have a horribly limited idea of what emo is, simply because the most important records in the development of emo were largely released on on vinyl, in small numbers, and with limited distribution. These were however very influential, so nowadays you have the situation that a lot of kids listen to third- and fourth-generation emo styles without even knowing it. I hope to expose such people to a wealth of great preceding music that's getting easier to find all the time...
After Minor Threat broke up in late 1983, the vibrant DC hardcore-punk scene that exploded in 1981 seems to start to run out of steam and fresh ideas within the established DC hardcore sound. The wistful, posthumous Minor Threat 7" "Salad Days" comes out in 1984 and drives the final nail into the coffin of DC hardcore punk. Bands all over the country begin casting about for new things to do : DRI and Bad Brains start going cheeze-metal, New York bands start doing tough-guy mosh, 7Seconds goes jangly U2 alternative, etc. The prevailing change in D.C. is toward melodic rock with punk sensibilities.
1984 marks the release of Zen Arcade by Minneapolis band Hüsker Dü, documenting their new mature sound combining furious, intense vocal delivery and driving guitars with slowed-down rockish tempos and more-complex, melodic songwriting.
In spring 1984, a new band called Rites Of Spring forms from members of The Untouchables/Faith and Deadline. This band retains a punk speed and frenzy, but brings a totally new vocal approach to the mix. Singer Guy Picciotto keeps an out-of-breath punk style most of the time, at times delving into intensely personal lyrics dripping with emotion and sweat. His voice breaks down at climactic moments into a throaty, gravelly, passionate moan.
The summer of 1985 becomes known as "Revolution Summer" when a new wave of rock-tempo, melody based, sung-vocal bands forms out of the DC punk musician pool with diverse rock sounds - Three, Gray Matter, Soulside, Ignition, Marginal Man, Fire Party, Rain, Shudder to Think, etc. Few bands retain the fast hardcore punk-based sound with the new vocal approach, Dag Nasty being the notable exception.
Minor Threat's singer, Ian MacKaye's, sings for a band called Embrace (compare the band name to earlier DC bands Minor Threat, Void, and State Of Alert) whose lyrics are emotional and deeply self-questioning, but still clear and unambiguous. Musically, the group (formed mostly of ex-Faith members) writes midtempo, somewhat jangly music with a lot of pop guitar hooks. MacKaye's vocals retain his trademark bold enunciation, with only occasional sparks of emotive delivery.
These bands' sound eventually becomes known as the classic "D.C. sound." Some of it is derisively labeled "emo," as shorthand for "emotional." One account has this term first appearing in a Flipside interview with Ian MacKaye. Shortly thereafter DC bands aquire the tag "emo-core."
Slightly later (1986), some bands begin to focus on the "emo" element itself. The Hated in Annapolis (near D.C.) seem to be the first post-Rites of Spring to do this. Shortly thereafter, Moss Icon appears in in the same town. Moss Icon strips the "emo" element down to the core, and adds a great deal of intricate, arpeggiated guitar melody (by Tonie Joy, later of Born Against, Lava, Universal Order of Armageddon, etc.) with a strong focus on loud/soft dynamics. The vocals, too, break new ground by building up to actual top-of-the-lungs screaming at songs' climaxes.
Moss Icon, as a relatively well-known band that toured some, introduces the punk scene to music that has core emphasis on emotion instead of punk energy. As such, I consider them the starting point for the emo movement, not Rites of Spring as is more commonly asserted. Later emo bands draw heavily from the Moss Icon dynamics, guitar style, and vocal delivery.
emo bands: rites of spring, portraits of the past, mineral,
american football ect.
not emo bands: My chemical romance, bullet for my valentine, the used. ect.
