wrong. or at least no see gar. goth was a natural sequence to fallow the nongratification of the romantacising of aggrassiveness that built hip hop. emo makes sense only in that light as a reaction to the relative dryness of goth. each thing that comes along being often in some sense a knee jerk over reaction to what came before it in momentary fassion of popular focus. one exception to that might be the birth of hippidom of the mid 60s fallowing the beatnicdom of the late 50s and early 60s. i think the feeling there was not one of knee jerk reaction by one of impatiance. the beats we're kind of emo in a sense. rightfully rejecting the baseless ambient assumptions of the then status quo. the hippy movement that fallowed being born of the need to get down to the bussiness of civil rights and the urgent need to end the shameful abomination of america's motivation for killing people in a small green land accross the pacific. i'll stick with my other worldly exotic spacyness that owes nothing to any pendulum of mass perception. (though environmental concerns were in a sense a natural sequence from the civil rights era too. then came disco (the let's just forget everything again and dance) fallowed by the rematerializim of the 80s, that we've been screwed by ever since. fallowed by the hip hop reaction to that. which brings us to goth which brings us to emo. not a predictable sequence entirely but not an unnatural one either). =^^= .../\...
How Punk became Punk(slang) So wouldn't it be more like some Rock(black flag) and some reggae (bad brains) then the first goth band (bauhuahas) then emocore(more post punk hardcore) (gray matter i think is one) to the sappy emo we have now (dash board confessionals and harwthorne heights?) That seems about right dosen't it?
