... I killed this thread. =) Rock You Like A Hurricane!

"Emo" isn't really a genre of music so much as a aesthetic that goes along with it. ... And it's evil.

I don't have time to read all of that as I'm out the door for work but I'll read it later.

All I'm saying is that people seem to call things "emo" because of it's "emotional" lyrics. Lyrics alone should not define a genre.

News flash: Johnny Cash is emo now.

2 years letter and why hasnt this shit died.. or killed its self.. wtf is up with this shit.. damn you hot topic..

I give it 1 or 2 more years. Its really peaking right now as far as pop culture goes.

This fucking shit is even here now. Every band in my area plays stuff like this shit and dresses like a bunch of faggy scensters. They all have a myspace which they have to check regurally.
