It should explain more about what emo is. Read it, and still don't have any clearer understanding of emo. The author defines it as "Hardcore Emotional," and cites many band of which I've never heard (save Husker Du). Sounds just like another label to me, and I pretty much detest labeling. It's just another way of pigeonoling music, despite how eclectic the artist.

If you wanna look up to them as gods, go right ahead witcha bad self. If you don't start like, stalking them, then you're okay. Don't anaylize every move they make. But if they were aiming to get famous, then why feel sorry for them?

It's just another way of pigeonoling music, despite how eclectic the artist. It's a music genre. It isn't a label. It's just like saying MCR is rock. It's not labeling, it's a genre of music. It's just like saying Jay-Z is hip-hop and Britney Spears is pop. It's all musical. Not a labeling of people. Hardcore Emotional is the genre. It's not "ZOMG LOOK HE LOOKZ EMO" or "HE CUTZ HIZ WRISTS". That's labeling.

It just goes to show that you can stereotype music just like you can stereotype people....although I think Emo may be more of a sub-genre than an actual genre. I don't see how it would span near as much musical territory as, say, pop or rock. Rock involves so many different factions...like punk rock, alternative rock, southern rock, etc., which are all sub-genres of one particular genre...rock. Emo just sounds like another sub-genre of rock. Anyhow, am I on the right track?!
