"emo" is a moronic and terribly overused (and innacurate) term for a huge spectrum of music. people automatically assume when a band is tagged as "emo" they're a bunch of whiny kids who sing about losing girlfriends and slitting wrists. in actuality, a ton of bands get that title for no real reason and rash generalizations are made about the content of their music. take thursday for example, they have just about NO songs about "losing girlfriends" as it were and at the same time are one of the first bands mentioned when "emo" is bought up.
that being said there are a lot of "emo" bands that i love and a lot that i hate. you can't just say you hate the entire genre, because that makes no sense. i like a lot of the heavier "emo-core" bands (another moronic discription of a genre) like glassjaw, thursday, from autumn to ashes, desaparecidos, and others.
