Communism vs. Emo (serious question)

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Considering that Eastern Europe is FULL of emo bands now (Like tons), I thought this would be an interesting question for emo-hating conservatives. There weren't any emo bands there during the Cold War...

I wonder if GMantis has seen any emo bands live.

I wonder if the massive amount of emo in northern Italy makes Phil support the Northern League's seccession plan. Or if the fact that emo was started by an Italian-American makes him ashamed of his heritage.

BTW for another example of why Ireland sucks: How Epic Fail is it that I can name more emo bands from Bosnia and Herzegovina than Ireland?

No, I don't really like Emo. But I don't really like going to live musical concerts (at least modern music), so I'm not singling emo out. And of course I was too young to go to any concerts when communists were still in power.
BRTD, you're aware that emo really started in the 90's so that it would be a bit difficult for there to be emo bands during communism.

No, that's incorrect. Emo got started in 1984 and some bands that started out as just punk but went on to be emo started as early as 1981 (Like The Hated).

Of course I'm not sure if emo made it to Europe before the 90s, the earliest European emo band I can think of is Bob Tilton from Britain, who started in 1993. I know there was an early upsurge in France, but that was around 1995/96. But I don't know of any eastern European bands for the other hardcore/punk/indie subgenres that were popular in the rest of Europe during the 80s (Well except for the GDR apparentely. Lewis would know more about that.)

Emo

I refuse to answer on the grounds that this is not a serious question, rather it is an immensely stupid and pointless question.

[pogo stick]

Communism obviously. This isn't a serious question. It's  just BRTD being bored.

Bumping in honor of the hordes of Russian emo bands ending up on my last.fm radio now.

[k-onmmunist]

Emo by far. Communism is good.

[Bo]

Communism. I know this from 75 years of family experience.

     Communism is generally the worst thing that can happen to any place.

Guess still Mr. Hitler was worse.

     Ah, but you see; Hitler stopped being a threat in 1945, whereas communism (assuming that any of the authoritarian leftist regimes in a few different countries could be seriously construed as communist) exists to this day. Nevermind that leaders like Stalin & Mao were quite monstrous in their own rights.

Ah, but see, and I'm telling this from position of authentic Eastern European and supported by over 70 years of my familiy history. Communism, even the period until 1956, was a fairytale in comparision to Nazism.

     Well fair enough. Me & my forebears can hardly claim to have been seriously affected by either fascists or communists.

And how old were you when communism collapsed in your country?

Considering that we're still affected by conqesuences of communism or Nazi occupation. And as personal family story, sister of my grandfather was, for example, executed by SS during Warsaw uprising at age of 15, while my great-grandfather narrowly escaped gallows following first post-war Stalinist-style show trail, yes, I guess I have perspective.

And I have no idea who can seriously make comparision between annoying, yet harmless EMO and Bolesła Bierut.

1, but unlike the poster below, who obviously learn about history from stormfront forum, I actually know people who witnesses both nazi occupation and communism on their own eyes and experienced both harshly.

You are saying PiT learned history from the Stormfront forum? Seriously?

Emo by far. Communism is good.
