emo
Evolving out of hardcore punk as a more artistic variation on the genre, emo became an important influence on underground rock by the late ’90s, receiving praise from both modern punks and indie-rockers.
Some emo artists express a more progressive musical style, utilizing complex guitar work, unconventional song structures, avant-garde noise, and extreme dynamic shifts; while some emo leans much more toward pop-punk, while being a bit more detailed.

Emo lyrics are profoundly personal, and are most of the time either free-associative poetry or intimate confessionals. Though it’s far less aggressively masculine, emo directly birthed from hardcore and therefore also concerns itself with authenticity and anti-commercialism; the genre grew out of the idea that commercial music was too artificial and calculated to express any true emotion. Because emo values authentic and deep emotion that defies rationality, the music can be a bit overexaggerated in its search for ever grander statements. But at its best, emo has a colossal power that manages to be emotional, inspiring, and intimate all at the same time.
The groundwork for emo was laid by Hüsker Dü’s classic Zen Arcade, which expanded the possibilities of hardcore bands to deal with more personal subject matter and write more melodic and technically challenging songs. Emo arose from Washington, D.C. a short while after, among the remains of the hardcore scene that had spawned Minor Threat and Bad Brains.
The word emo (or as it sometimes is called, emocore) was in the beginning used to describe hardcore bands that had frontmen who sang more eloquently instead of the usual shouts and rants; the first true emo band was Rites of Spring, which was then followed by ex-Minor Threat frontman Ian MacKaye’s short-lived Embrace.
The MacKaye-founded label Dischord Records became the center for D.C.’s evolving emo scene, as it released records by Rites of Spring, Dag Nasty, Nation of Ulysses, and eventually Ian MacKaye’s new band formed together with members from Rites of Spring, Fugazi.
Fugazi became the definitive early emo band, as they appealed to alternative rock listeners and received attention for their strictly anti-commercial ethics. Aside from Dischord, emo was in the beginning deeply underground, recorded by extremely short-lived bands and released in small amounts by small labels; some of these band’s vocalists actually wept onstage during song climaxes, earning ridicule from hardcore purists.
Not counting Fugazi, emo didn’t truly break out until the mid-’90s due to Sunny Day Real Estate, whose early records practically defined the style for many listeners. Taking the intricate guitar work of Fugazi and combining it with Seattle grunge, genuine prog-rock, and softly sentimental vocals, Sunny Day Real Estate created an immense legacy influencing many who related to their dramatic melodies and inward-looking mysticism.
Some of these listeners connected equally to the ironic, geeky introspection and catchy pop-punk of Weezer’s Pinkerton album.
Several artists and bands contined to build on the groundwork laid by Fugazi (like Quicksand and Drive Like Jehu), but most ’90s bands took inspiration from some combination of Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Weezer.
Bands like the Promise Ring, the Get Up Kids, Braid, Texas Is the Reason, Jimmy Eat World, Joan of Arc, and Jets to Brazil also greatly influenced the [indie rock scene, thereby making emo one of the more popular underground rock styles by the turn of the millennium.

Misery Business
Paramore Lyrics
Hit that, hit that snare
I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass, that's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could, then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good
Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way
Well, there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could, then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good
I watched his wildest dreams come true
And not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving
Whoa, well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could, then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good

Lyrics:
En medio del mar hay una mujer
Que intenta parir dos lindos bebés
Primero, Artemisa al mundo llegó
Después vino Apolo y ella le ayudó
Esta Artemisa va a poner el mundo al revés
Es muy valiente, fuerte y pasa de la gente
9 deseos, Zeus, su padre, le concedió
Y con su arco y perro se entrenó
Su destreza en la caza es tan superior
Tiene fans y sirvientes, son un montón
Una reina de su mamá se burló
Junto con Apolo a todos sus hijos se cargó
Y la palmó
Dos tipos enormes se quieren ligar
A Artemisa y eso no va a pasar
En forma de cierva les logra engañar
Se dieron un golpe al intentarle dar
No la provoques, que tu culo puede acabar
Atravesado o devorado por tu perro
Si no eres pura no podrás entrar en su clan
Como te encuentre un ligue vas a flipar
A su amiga de siempre Zeus engañó
Suplantando a Artemisa la embarazó
Por traidora en osa la transformó
Pero Zeus por pena a las estrellas la mandó y la salvó
Si no das tributo, maldición
Te ríes de ella, maldición
Decir que cazando eres mejor
Lo has adivinado: ¡toca maldición!
Ser la hijastra de Hera es lo peor
Contra ella en Troya se enfrentó
Artemisa te pisa sin compasión
Si entras en su bosque, no toques nada, por favor
¡O maldición!

Paramore will always be one of the best rock bands in the world and this song alone proves it.

Eh… queen is pretty good

@Django Yorke In my view it does. Because first of all, it's a matter of taste our vision of the band because of the music and how much we identify with. Second, this band has several great and famous songs, proving that they are a great band, they don't need an absurd number of followers and views to prove it, this is just my view from this specific song.
Django Yorke
A great song, but a song, doth not a greatest band maketh.
