Green Day Biography
Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987. The awesome members include: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool.
In 1987, friends Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, 15 years old at the time, formed a band called Sweet Children. The first Sweet Children show took place on October 17, 1987, at Rod's Hickory Pit in Vallejo, California where Armstrong's mother was working. In 1988, Armstrong and Dirnt began working with former Isocracy drummer, John Kiffmeyer (also known as Al Sobrante). Kiffmeyer served as both the band's drummer and business manager, handling the booking of shows and helping the band establish a fan base. As said in the film Punk's Not Dead, Armstrong cites the band Operation Ivy (which features Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman of Rancid) as a major influence, and a band that drove Billie Joe to form a band.
764-HERO Biography
764-HERO was an American indie rock band from Seattle, Washington, signed to Up Records. The band's name, suggested by a friend, is taken from the Washington State Department of Transportation phone number for reporting HOV lane violators .
History
Formation and early work
Formed in 1995, the original members of the group were singer/guitarist and Seattle native John Atkins from the Up Records' artists Hush Harbor, and drummer Polly Johnson from Bell Jar. After releasing two vinyl 7" singles, 764-Hero released their debut album Salt Sinks Sugar Floats in 1996, followed by an EP called We're Solids the next year. Known locally for their powerful live performances, the duo quickly garnered a national audience. In early 1998, the band released a collaborative CD/12" single with Modest Mouse called Whenever You See Fit, consisting of a single track the two groups co-composed and performed while touring together. The B-side of the E.P. contained two remixes by DJ Dynomite D and Scientific American.
Blink 182 - 21 Days
My mind wonders as I'm trying not to fall in love with you 'Cause everytime I
awake I ponder on my mistakes of what I said, it is always my esteem that I
sure lose playing those stupid games that I always end up chasing you
I can't help myself anymore
rehearsing my thoughts as i'm too scared to come to your door
I pushed it all aside just to stand next to you
But now you won't talk to me for something that I didn't do
It's not gonna work..
And i'm trying not to think of you
I'm all confused as I think of the things that I would do
I'm all shook up as I get all nervous inside
My emotions are something that I will always hide my ways
awake I ponder on my mistakes of what I said, it is always my esteem that I

I can't help myself anymore

But now you won't talk to me for something that I didn't do

Blink 182 - 13 Miles
13 miles down the road lives a young boy
hes got jet black hair and blue green eyes
and hes mine.
And every now and then he and i will sit together on the porch
And i take off his pants and i fuck him from behind
And I love him for his mind and soul
And I love his wrinkled scrotum too.
So if you see us passing by on some dreary rainy day
Take a look at the young boy and his naked... ass-hole.

6 bottles went down the drain,
one hours waste of time,
I’d ask if you feel the same,
still pushing that chance to try,
your breath in this cool room chill,
long hair that blows side to side,
you speak and make time stand still,
and each time you walk right on by...

Blink182 - Romeo & Rebecca
Walking through the grass
Another blade next to you from the ground
As the wind does pass
I notice as you feel the breath of my shout
Your words are kind
The kind that repeatedly say no
But that's alright
I'm older than you so I've got time
Another blade next to you from the ground
As the wind does pass
I notice as you feel the breath of my shout
Your words are kind
The kind that repeatedly say no
But that's alright

I took her out
It was a Friday night
I wore cologne
To get the feeling right
We started making out
And she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV

Carousel
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel
Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitudes a reason to die

Fashion Tips
I put this up as a chance to laugh at some of the sillier stuff emokids do in order to not look like all the Green Day/Rancid and Strife/Hatebreed clones out there.
Some pointers about emo fashions (above simple, universal hardcore attire)
- the Emo Romulan look - short, thick, greasy, dyed-black hair with bangs cut straight across the forehead, and cut high over the ears. Someone from Time In Malta recently described to me the San Diego Crimson Curse scene as "Spock Rock."
- actually, any greasy dyed black hair. Bangs in front and spikes in back is very emo too.
- horn-rim glasses, or at least thick black frames.
- bald head, furry face (boys only). Goes especially well with horn-rims.
- heavy slacks, often too tight and short.
- thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children's size t-shirts with random slogans. Button the collar if you got one.
- clunky black shoes
- scarves
- gas station jackets. This has diffused a lot over the years though, it's no longer exclusive to emo kids. Nowadays, you may want to select a nice corduroy denim jacket.
- also classic outerwear but quickly diffusing to normality: the famous Blue Peacoat
- barrettes on boys
- make-up (male or female)
- too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters
- argyle
- anorexic thinness.

So this is my attempt to delineate the history of emo into a few discrete trends and geographical hubs. None of this will be all-inclusive, but should give you an basic idea of what happened when, where, and by whom. Under construction.
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.
Embrace self-titled LP/CD [Dischord Records #24, 1985]. This band just wasn't around long enough to polish all their songs. Some of the lyrics are kinda funny in their lack of subtlety, but some just cut right down to the core of the human condition.

Emo Style
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 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...
I'm going to split up the mass of "emo" bands into a few distinct genres. Like any categorization effort, there will be exceptions, crossovers, and tangential relations. That's fine. The intent is only to lay out some general trends, general notes on sounds, musical and lyrical themes, and how to listen for them.
Some notes on nomenclature. There isn't a real consensus on what "emo" and "emocore" are, or if they are even different. It's pretty clear these days what you're talking about with terms like "punk," "postpunk," "no-wave," "hardcore punk," "old-school/new-school," etc (although the difference between "hardcore punk" and "hardcore" is lost on a lot of people - "hardcore punk" is punk rock made heavier, faster, louder; "hardcore" is what happened after the hardcore punks realized they didn't have to sound like punk rock anymore - still heavy, fast, loud, but with a different foundation.) I hope to draw clear distinctions between my categories, assign them names, and use them consistently. That's all that language is.
