Lightbulb Stereotypes in music.

How come there's so many stereotypes in music? You have the hot supermodel, the gangsta, the punk-rocker and now the EMOS. Why can't they just be them? They're fine.....just the way they are.....

Because people follow trends.

Music is written as a form of art that expresses oneself. People who have "emo" tendencies will write "emo" songs because they enjoy and can relate to it more. They don't write music because they can't accept who they are.

Lots of young teenagers have low self esteem of themselves so they attach to a trend or style that is popular thinking that they'll be accepted being someone they're not.

Also, you can't sell music if you are yourself, unless your selling your music to the people who are themselves, which is generally not a good group to sell music to, if profits are what they are after.
Also, what tsugomaru said was perfectly correct as well. People naturally form groups with similar people. Those groups have certain values and morals, which relate to the type of lifestyle the people in those groups live. People write about their life and the way they perceive life around them. Such things can be put into groups, such as the complainers, the I don't care-ers, the whore-ers, etc. etc.

I guess what he means is that people stereotype others based off music they listen to... Or perhaps he means there are different styles of music making different trends of how people portray themselves. I listen to rap and I enjoy it, but I don't give off the "Gangster" persona that some rap artists do. Like others have said, people dress like someone who is popular or perhaps has style, mimicking the artist. If you saw someone wearing baggy pants, a long jersey ,and a tilted hat on their head; would you assume they listen to rap? It was also mentioned people who want to be popular might conform to those who are popular... when they really don't even like who they are or have become.

too bad everyone is like whatever they're stereotyped for anyway. there's stereotypes, yes. but they pretty much apply to everyone who's being stereotyped 99% of the time when it comes to music. with those genres, everyone ****ing bandwagons. so...

Emo music and music about emotions are two separate things.

"My girlfriend left me so I slit my wrists and tried to kill myself and failed so I cry myself to sleep"

is completely different from

"just a candle blowing in the wind..."

I'm sorry, but it's what tsugomaru said. It's aimed at a group of people. This also applies to marketing skills, etc. Pain pill ads are meant to apply to older people and are therefore calmer, less bright. Children's toys have an excited voice to them with bright colors, etc., etc., etc. If you want to sell something, you have to use the stereotypes out there. Odds are that you will sell something to someone using the stereotype because, more often than not, people do fall into a stereotype. Like where I live. Everyone here you can tell what they're like by looking at them. The cheerleaders are stupid, most of the jocks are kind of dumb, and the gothic kids are mostly emo. Kind of sad...

I like what squeek said, i write music like that and when people criticize it and generalize it into said categories it is a little uninspiring. I would post some of it under literature or another topic but i get afraid of such criticism and people stealing my works....

Right. So there's emo music for fags and then emotional music which is a lot more deeper and meaningful.
