What does that have to do with anything? Words don't ever change meaning. Sick still means sick, gay still literally means happy. The applications of the word change for reasons explainable, as for sick, maybe it evolved, maybe it suffered the same language creationist fate as the word "Emo".The fact of the matter is, words either evolve naturally for reasons you can figure out, or they are just attached to things because someone else did. This is the case with "Emo".
Whether or not you can accept that is not up to me, use it however you want, but you're using the wrong term, at least accept that you're using the wrong term. The very fact that you don't even care is one of the reasons I don't believe you know enough about the term we're discussing, to even have a discussion about it.
It doesn't matter if gay naturally evolved and sick didn't, we're discussing the word "Emo", which didn't.
