message: It just seems that a modern rock band can't be just listed as one genre... They aren't emo dammit, Just because they have heavyish music, long hair (it's orange, not black for goodness sake), and tight (BLUE) jeans doesn't account for anything... 750hgn1md4 (talk) 10:17, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Proof

message: seriously, these arent a christian band some of the band are christians, but they are not a christian band. As dustin kensrue said once, would a tomatoe made by a christian be a christian tomatoe? no, it would be a tomatoe by a christian. Now they have a song called "amazing because it is" but such moments are few with this band, and a christian band wouldnt have a song like "yule be sorry" which has kenny on it, who is highly anti-christian i believe, as for the post hardcore bit, there is nothing hardcore about them in their influences, its like calling a band with no rock elements punk rock.
Christian punk? well they are not a christian band and even if their songs were somewhat punk, they are not religious songs apart from one or two as i mentioned before, but thats a slow song.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.65.47 (talk) 23:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  christian post hardcore 

message: Aaron Gillespie, the founder of The Almost, is a born again Christian who is the only original member of Underoath, which is a Christian metalcore band. The band 'the Almost' might not be a Christian band 'per se'. Many Christian's either don't want their faith to be considered a genre, some don't mind Christian being a Genre or an adjective to a genre like Punk or Rock. And, some Christians don't want to be labeled Christian, because they feel that non-Christians won't listen because of a Christian Music stigma and their positive Christian-influenced message won't be heard. SOME MIGHT EVEN BE AMBIGUOUS AS TO RATHER THEY ARE CHRISTIAN OR NOT, SO THESE CONVERSATIONS WILL COME UP AND THEIR CHRISTIANITY AND CHRIST WILL BE DISCUSSED. Who knows? So, why Gillespie, a Christian, does not label his band a Christian band is not sourced anyware on the internet, so until he addresses it and says one way or another: WHO CARES! Just enjoy the music.
I say we leave Christian rock in the genres until prooven otherwise. Fair enough=]
How about we leave genre with only source on them. Fair Enough.
and i know aaron's a christian but how do you know he's a born agian christian you have a source to back that up.User:Rockismorethanmusic
Yes I do have a sorce that prooves he is a Christian, well actually a few reason.
1. In a interview with Air1 radio he stated that he is a christian.
2. Underoath found him playing in his church. And I have a few more but I think that's enough.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.29.146.211 (talk) 18:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: This point doesn't really have any bearing on the genre of the band.  It is entirely possibly for  a group of Christian musicians to form a non-Christian rock band.  The more important issue is whether or not their musical content is Christian enough to render them a Christian rock band.  In the previous thread you mentioned that 5 of 11 of their songs have Christian content, but you failed to specify just exactly what this content is.  Please elaborate and then, perhaps, we can come to some general consensus on this issue.  ŁittleÄlien¹8² (talk\contribs) 00:28, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

message: do the almost scream at all
No The Almost dosen't scream. If anything from their past album Southren Weather, Aaron Did do a bit of yelling, but thats not like Underoath, or A Day To Remember type of screaming. Will they be screaming in their next album. I don't think so. I could be wrong. I personly think they will keep the same Pop Punk sound, with a heavy sound added in.User:skateremorocker  —Preceding undated comment added 01:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
