Emo is basically a new buzzword applied to a style of music that has been around for a very long time. Theres nothing new or even different about it. Its been given a name now, along with a dresscode for the lost, and bewildered teens who feel the need to define themselves with a strap on identity. *Shrug*.. every "genre" of music that appeals to kids has this "problem" (punk, rock, hardcore etc). Theres some good music out there that many would label as emo, but I just consider it good music. Of course the other 99% of music out there labeled as Emo is pure crap but the kids listen to it anyways because its called Emo. Whatever.

And just my personal opinion... all you emo boys wearing skin tight girly jeans... you look rediculous!! We got rid of those after the 80's. Different strokes for different folks i guess.:/

And has anyone else noticed that somehow bands that very clearly arent Emo, are getting labeled as Emo just because Emo fans listen to them? Annoying.
