[edit] Genre
i would argue the point that funeral for a friend are easily categorized as emo. they may have emo influences, but to label them thus is an injustice to their music. --Bouyeeze 15:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
second that. as a test the more ppl who deny a band is emo, the more emo it is must be. you hear ppl say 'funeral for a friend are not emo' but never 'the red hot chili peppers are not emo'
- I denied that FFAF is emo simply because people are calling them emo. If people started calling RHCP emo, I would also deny it. By your reasoning, this would make them emo...--Bouyeeze 22:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

- AllMusic categorizes them as emo. That's not just "people" or some other nonsense - AllMusic is a legitimate, verifiable, encyclopedic source. -- ChrisB 21:45, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

- I second that. To be honest many emo bands (MCR, HH, TBS etc) annoy the hell out of me but FOFA are outstanding. A Hardcore band with highly emotional lyrics. Genuine emotion, not the whining from MCR. This makes them emo. There's nothing wrong with the label emo. There's nothing wrong with a swastika or a sunwheel either, except that the Nazis used it to symbolise calamitous world war, mass slaughter and genocide. If people are too stupid to realise that it's an ancient, ancient Indian/Asian/European symbol with a deeper meaning than exterminating minorities and general thuggery then that's their problem. If people are too stupid to realise that there's nothing wrong with the genre emo then that's their problem too. Emo may be a genre practised by faggoths but that doesn't mean you're faggoth because you play emo.--Q'neas 00:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, if they're Emo, shouldn't they be classed as Hardcore rather than Post-hardcore? Emo is a sub genre of Hardcore ... --Tene 22:42, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Post-Hardcore is a sub genre of Hardcore in case it wasn't obvious enough. post- Hardcore fits better than Emo. XdiabolicalX 11:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, never? Really? -.- My point being, emocore is not a sub-genre of post-hardcore, therefore post-hardcore shouldn't be mentioned if emocore is. That's like saying a compound z can be produced from compound y reacting, even though compounds y and z can only be produced by chemicals x reacting. PS, I'm not mentally retarded - please don't assume I am. --Tene 03:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- How about we screw the analogies and pointlessly trying to place music into neat hierarchical boxes and just say the are rock --Hawk90 16:27, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Progressive?
I honestly can't see how anyone could call FFAF progressive, that just seem ludicrous. It seems like pretty straightforward emo/posthardcore with some classic metal influences to me.
I agree, FFAF are not progressive. I would call them simply post-hardcore and leave it at that....if there's no objections in the next little while I'm gonna go ahead and do that.--Bouyeeze 21:58, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Genre
Whoever added the metalcore note, please explain yourself. Going purely on wikipedia's definition of metalcore, Funeral for a Friend is not a metalcore band; at least not today. Their EP 7 ways to scream your name I will concede has at least metalcore influences, but still is more hardcore/alt rock. If metalcore is not explained soon I'm gonna take it out. --Bouyeeze 04:37, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV
Does anyone else think that the new statement: Continuing their trend of playing various small venues such as Reading Hexagon alongside Fightstar (who replaced Motion City Soundtrack due to a last minute illness) Funeral for a Friend continue to wow audiences throughout the UK. is nothing but POV? --Tene 17:17, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, I just got back from Download, and the UK audience there were so wowed by Funeral for a Friend that they all swamped Prodigy on the second stage. (So, yeah, I'd wager it's pure POV) -Barnas 10:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
