May 18, 2012 - I always thought that Emo was a emotion and Goth was the style, I'm not emo, but I'm goth.

May 18, 2012 - this is AFI's transitional period between punk and rock. their early stuff is hardcore punk, hence the hardcore dancing in this video, and now they have a more rock sound. but i the end its about the greatness of the song and this song is awesome lol

May 21, 2012 - this song takes me back to the days when people called other people "emo" or "gothic" as if it was a bad thing. haha oh middle school.. <3

May 21, 2012 - Emo and Goth are both distinct genres with different "styles" associated with them (although thanks to Hot Topic, they've been homogenized since the 90s). I'm not a fashion person so I won't go into that aspect, but emo is more "dramatic" hardcore punk. More dynamics, not just straight ahead bursts of anger. Compare Rites of Spring to Black Flag, thats emo to hardcore. Emo is not necessarily dark at all.Goth, on the other hand, is dark, taking cues from Victorian-era fashion. ...

mikeymacaque Says:

May 21, 2012 - (Continued)I'm not too much of a Goth "expert," but Goth was a darker form of Post-Punk, and I think most Goth punk takes its inspiration from both bands like the Misfits (lyrical themes, dress, shock value) and bands like the Cure (electronic tendencies, darker tones). So while emo can be dark, but doesn't have to be, goth has to be dark a majority of the time. So modern bands? I think AFI was goth. Alkaline Trio had tendencies. Senses Fail and The Used are emo.

DestroySteve Says:

May 22, 2012 - I used to be "Goth" and remember seeing a boy in girls pants and a tight shirt for the first time. Was a dark day for the goth world. "i think I may hate this person more than the football players...." This was for sure not a emo band. They may be iffy today, but when this album came out, all the emo kids were still goth and punk kids. Was a good time.

timc0821 Says:

May 27, 2012 - Is this video responsible for what is known as "hardcore dancing"? If so, I just lost some respect for Afi

blissfullydead89 Says:

May 27, 2012 - Hardcore dancing has been around since the 90's or earlier...it started with *gasp* real hardcore bands. Look up Step Down by Sick Of It All

blissfullydead89 Says:

May 27, 2012 - Watch out, we got a bad ass over here

blissfullydead89 Says:

May 27, 2012 - Obviously you're forgetting that AoD wasn't anywhere near punk. AFI hasn't been punk since '99

blissfullydead89 Says:

May 27, 2012 - *hardcore dancing. Slam dancing is the same thing as regular moshing.
