Emo is the big "innovation" in rock right now, which all my friends listen to. There's only one problem.
It sucks balls.

Moving along from the wonders of ambient black metal (a genre of such quality no such band has actually sold any albums yet...)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there actually any new direction for music, especially rock, to take?
Rock has been fused with rap, with dance, with orchestral sections, its even been done without guitars
If u set up a band with the deliberate intention of doing something new in the rock genre - what the hell would it be? Hasn't everything been tried?
Does a 'new direction' of rock music in the mainstream really mean that much to you? A band that are trying to fit into a type of music that's becoming trendy doesn't mean they're any good.

Do you even realize Bathory is from Sweden? English is a notoriously difficult language to learn for non-native speakers. The lyrics are very good, even if they aren't Shakespeare. They are descriptive because they're telling a story, like in a concept album. Sometimes aesthetics have to compromised to uphold the story. That's just how it is.
If you've heard the song, you would know it's very emotional and sad. Bathory's music isn't dramatic, it's true emotion. It really reflects feelings and ideals. You should listen to the songs before you criticize them.

Emo is a misnomer. Dra would be more appropriate. It's not emotional, it's acting, like in a play. It's drama. If you don't like how rock is looking, go off to metal or punk or classical or anything else. And turn off the radio and television!

I agree, grunge was one of the last good styles of music-the only other one around that time possibly being industrial. There's not much to say for today's music: all hip-hop and EMO garbage.

Turn off the radio and television and listen to great new bands like Torture Squad and Xasthur.

there is always something brewing under the surface of the mainstream- grunge and rap were the last two things to be 'plucked' out and shared with the rest of the world.
a major innovation does not just happen, Grunge just happend- it came in with a bang and fizzled away- who would have thought a bunch of junkies screaming and banging on guitars would'nt last? it was a scene that the kids loved to be a part of- it was in the streets- and then it was marketed and sold to the masses- grunge was not about making money- it was about being depressed, being pissed on and being pissed off.
rap music started in the street too, then it was marketed and sold to the masses- the big difference is the people making rap music are all too happy to be sold, thats why it is still around today.

"not me man- i'm gonna keep rocking forever... forever"

Black metal has its share of mainstream adherants. Look at Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth. Death metal has 6 Feet Under and Cannibal Corpse. This happens to all scenes.
