too much fucking emo ?

I know there's a music genre called "emo", although fuck knows what it is, but that's pronounced "ee-mow", no? I always heard "ammo" (ie. ammunition) in this song, and since I can't read, I never checked up on it, like... perhaps it was the name of his pet rabbit's favourite brand of food...

The genre you recall is applied to bands like ANATHEMA, KATATONIA, OPETH.. etc. Guess "emo" is as adequate as other names, e.g. "brutal death metal" (Chris Barnes's brutality and my belly trembles intensively). Each kind of music is emotionally evoked. However, the thing in "emo" music is to show despair, melancholy, suffering from loss, anxiety and other feelings of the weak. In other words: "to moan", "to mew" or "ee.. moo..". Confusingly, maybe that's the reason for spelling it "ee-mow".

I heard "emo" abbr from the beginning. The word "emotions" fits the whole lyric like a glove.

Sorry, you're wrong. I think "emo" is an "emotional" derivative of punk rock. I know the term definitely does not apply to Anathema, Katatonia, Opeth or indeed any metal, though.
 
Nothing to be sorry. I was misled by the fact "emo" is an abbreviated form of emotion/-al, and thus emotional metal came onto my mind. I'm not into punk rock, so.. oops. Mea culpa, e-moo..
 
Meh, I always thought it was ammo up until now.

But yeah, emo is basically punk rock. Truthfully, I really don't see much of a difference between any punk. :)
 
its called an accent, they're from Sweden (arent they?), you cant expect them to have perfect english accents...
