[edit] Future albums

I don't know what you are talking about, but I added the name of the latest album.--Origami dragon 23:18, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• cprompt and Camembert Elwhy felt it was pointless to listed "to be announced" (TBA) albums.

[edit] My edit.

WTF?

There was nothing wrong with my edit of the Good To Go EP.

Why call it rubbish... thats just mean. -- 195.194.178.252

You copied the text off another article (via your browser) then just pasted it all as text. Seriously, you even copied and pasted the "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" from the top of the page, as well as the "Edit" Wiki editing links, and left it in there.

See for yourself, your edit: [1]

Now, compare to how it looks now: Good to Go EP

I understand if you're new to Wiki, but please learn the proper code techniques before starting an article. Pick a couple of long articles, click "edit this page", and do nothing but look at how the pages are written and how things are oriented. Your last edit of this page included several Wiki goofs.

Also: articles (a, an, the) and prepositions (of, on, to) are not capitalized in titles. (There are exceptions if the preposition is used adverbially, as in "Stay On" or "Hold On".) I know that people do it where they capitalize every word, but that's not the accepted standard. -- ChrisB 20:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Heh, consider me told. But seriously, theres NO CHANCE of me ever learning proper code techniques... can't I just carry on doing crappy edits and let you clever people make the changes???

[edit] There is no way that Jimmy Eat World is emo.

Where the hell did that classification come from?

They were the preeminent emo band of the 1990s. You all do realize that emo existed before 2003, yes? When people talked about emo in the late 90s, the first name that came out of their mouth was Jimmy Eat World. Clarity was considered one of the defining albums of 1990s emo. Seriously, just go to AllMusic and read their bio and reviews, for crying out loud.

Jimmy Eat World is one of the main reasons that modern emo is what it is. Before them, emo was something drastically different. Jimmy Eat World turned mainstream and brought the word "emo" to a more mainstream sound. BTW, this is all entirely documented in the article for Emo (music). -- ChrisB 04:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

--Look, these classifications are bullshit, TRIVIAL, to say the least. **

---TOTALLY EMO!!! xx little anna 19:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

They are Emo. Early Emo. However Early Emo is not a genre.--WhereAmI 03:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jimmy Eat World (1994)

Why is this album not mentioned on the first part of the article? I just double checked, and it is mentioned, but not linked. I'll try to rewrite the paragraph.

[edit] Emo Discussion

Tey another artice arguing over the tag emo. Why does the wiki community still continue to use it? "Jimmy Eat World were WIDELY considered the prominent Emo" The keyword there is "were" Nowadays Jimmy Eat World is no longer considered emo.DevelopmentArrested 22:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

"Genre" doesn't specify present day. -- ChrisB 03:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

If someone were looking to get info. on the band, implying that they play emo music would give the wrong impression. DevelopmentArrested

How exactly does it give the wrong impression? Three of their four albums were specifically labelled as "emo", and many media outlets labelled Futures as "emo" as well.

Wikipedia is not the court of public opinion. It represents facts and histories. The "Genre" element of the infobox encompasses a band's entire career, not just the specific present. -- ChrisB 05:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Emo is Emocore

Emo is Emocore! it's like: punk is the smallversion of punkrock! or hardcore for hardcore punk and alternative for alternative rock!
