There is a style of ‘rock’ music called ’emo’, which is short for emotional. It is a label used to describe rock music that is emotional in contrast to rock musical that is not emotional. I suppose that you could make that contrast if you were comparing Britney Spears to Nine Inch Nails, but I generally equate music with emotion. Anyway, I bought an album by a band called “House of Heroes” due to hearing a few of their songs. Unfortunately the album drones on after a while. But what I’ve noticed is that all emo bands tend to wear me out. By the time things are over I’m ready to listen to something else because the sound never changes on the album. I used to think country music was like that, but I was wrong, Emo out monotonizes other music that I’ve exposed myself at present with the exception of some of the electronica that I’ve heard.
However, with iTunes shuffling my playlist I don’t get burned out on too much anymore. Other than some of the goofy clips I’ve got on there.
