emo isn't a harcut, emo isn't a tight tshirt and tight jeans or a white belt or massive belt buckle.
just like metal isn't long hair, a black shirt, jeans and a leather trenchcoat.
emo isn't Hawthorne heights, Armor for sleep or Dashboard Confessional.
emo is an offshoot of DCHardcore, not even sunny day real estate are emo; theyre like alternative indie!
emo was a million different things even back then, with people defining them from Rites of Spring all the way to Saetia. So trying to define it now with all the watered down bastardized crap about is futile!

What if someones definition of all metal is devil worshipping psychopaths who kill people and sacrifice virgins?
You're so unbelievably closed minded. I'm not a fan of emo for the simple reason there's never been more than one that I've liked. If there was one I liked, I wouldn't dislike it coz it was emo.
What would you think if you said Slayer were great and someone said that all metal is just noise and talking about Satan?
I suspect you'd think they were an idiot. If you know that you have a misconception of emo, why do you continually say that you automatically dismiss it because of a label it has been given, possibly wrongly?
Yeah but it's stupid to know you are factually wrong and still hold that opinion. Your opinion is that hip hop is all about cars, hoes and money, but it's wrong. It being your opinion doesn't give you some impenetrable shield.
It's like Hitler saying "Well yeah, I'm wrong and out of line but...I believe these jews should die so dammit, they will."
Most MAINSTREAM hip hop is about money/hoes/shootings and guns.
The underground/independent hiphop is supposedly a bit deeper then that, but I don't listen to underground hip hop so I wouldn't know, and I don't care enough to bother to find out on my own.
Well if you just don't care enough to find any better emo that might be out there you shouldn't be generalising the whole genre on account of your laziness.
Grey: Hip Hop isn't neccessarily ABOUT any one thing. That doesn't stop you being wrong.
