Is falling in reverse emo? Or just a wannabe?

Ironically enough? Both.

They are Emo in that they were part of the massive boom of bands back in the 2000s.

And they are poser because Ronnie Radke is a fucking piece of trash.

in my opinion FIR it's a wannabe band, althought it is emo music, radke ot's someone so.... (how to say it?) someone who leaves a lot to be desired, i just say, i don't if i'm right or not

I believe that the music is good and somewhat emo but ronnie is meh

i'd say that like yeah it's an emo band, it was big in the scene and such, but it also strikes me as kind of a poser band because a. ronnie radke is a piece of shit and b. generally most people who are REALLLYYYYYY into falling in reverse aren't into any other emo bands and tend to be sort of wannabes

So I like FIR but they're honestly not exactly an emo band, they used to have some great songs, but now it's like shit. His music was in decline and some albums like The Dr*g in me is you are good and the songs were recognized by emos when the album came out.

and about ronnie well it is debatable

I’d say the older stuff is. The new songs and albums I’ve listened to sound like 2020s alt trend type music yk? 

technically yes because FIR was part of the 2000s wave, but no because ronnie radke is a piece of shit

It depends on what definition of "emo" you're operating under. i'm assuming you mean 2000s pop punk, in which case yeah pretty sure they are, though i don't listen to them enough to be sure. also i'm very aware that ronnie radke sucks, but i'm not sure why everyone here is just assuming you have to be a good person to be emo??

in my opinion, no. there debut album was sorta emo,  but not anything afterward. plus they suck (imo)

i don't really know about now, but their old original music definitely was. especially when ronnie got out of prison and started making music again, it had the old emo vibes he had in etf. now.... idk

I say falling in reverse is a poser band cuz ronnie radkes beliefs go against almost everything alt stands for

this band sucks

id say yes...but the older shit, not whatever ronnie is doing now. he's a fucking asshole

supongo que depende de que albun o cancion estes escuchando, si estas escuchando albumes mas viejos creo que contaria o minimo rozaria con lo que es el sonido emo de los 2000

I fucking love Falling in Reverse and I love Ronnie Radke :c

I definetely say Emo for sure!!1RawrXD

I think it started as being emo, but now it's just "baby's first introduction to the scene" because of Ronnie being absolutely horrible

they're apart of what's considered "mall emo"

I'd honestly put them more in to post hardcore, but at one point the genres were so blurred even bands that were post hardcore were also considered emo (cue bands like Thrice)

their music is actually gud and it was in the og 2000s emo artists so like kids in th 2000s listened 2 fir like i dont think theyre like emo by genre bc no but they r considered emo, their not rly wannabe. and abt ronnie blehh 

Honestly I was gonna reply but it’d be hypocritical bein I listen to msi

I mean there music is definitely emo but Ronnie Radke isn't. The old music was really good but now it's trashy. Definitely fell apart. So I think they use to be emo but the modern music and there beliefs now make them (and most fans) posers. 

People tend to label a band as emo based on their own tastes, even though emo is music, encompassing musical characteristics and genres.

For Falling in Reverse to be an emo band, they would have to play emo music, not conform to some absurd characteristic invented by an internet user.

For a band to be emo, it's as simple as playing emo music; there's no further discussion.

Falling in Reverse is an easycore band on their first three albums, a genre that isn't emo because it derives from pop punk and melodic metalcore. Coming Home is a pop punk and alternative rock album, and Popular Monster is an alternative metal album with rap metal influences. It has songs that flirt with metalcore, but nothing outstanding enough to consider it a secondary genre.

Falling in Reverse is NOT an emo band because they don't play emo music.

For example, Armor for Sleep is emo because they play emo-pop, Tears of Avarel is emo because they play emoviolence, Saetia is emo because they play screamo/skramz. Do you understand?

 Escape the fate is more emo<3

I feelll like they had some emo songs and stuff like in the emo pop punk/rock genre but idk tbh kinda???

not emo in the music but ronnie used to dress emo and  they were big with emo and scene kids then. 

3V3RY1 G0T HIS A$$ Y0

Both

YES!1 the newer stuff isnt tho

ronnie is a piece of trash :(

this question also leaves me very confused, the songs they make are really good but ronnie is very... meh. 

Im new to all this but I listened to his first album, and it was alright but a tad forced but I'm also not that deep into that side of the genre. I dont go near any new music because it usually lets me down XD

I know u have a ton of replies already but fir is notttt emo plus their vocalist goes against all emo beliefs
