lol. thing is, there arent really 'emo' bands. there are some like 'my chemical romance' that emos like, but nothing ties it together like punk music, or heavy metal. emos listening to emo music is like scientologists listening to scientologist music- it is that genre purely because they happen to listen to it. oh, for the good old days when anarachy came with a viscious 2/2 beat and they did tasteful things like spit on people and pierce their septums with safety pins...
ChadTower:
You know why those days ended so fast? They all died or became retards from the drugs and infections.
So the ones still alive, I guess, make country music now.

Not true at all. Like I mentioned, "emo" started in the 80's with the emocore music movement, and it is most definitely a specific and unique genre of music.
The lines have been blurred ridiculously at this point because emo has been commercialized and emo for MTV is now the goal of labels. There is definitely a different style to emo music though. Bands like My Chemical Romance are and never were "true emo" but they have been adopted by the scene, so in that sense you are right..... but the same thing happened with punk music when it went mainstream.
ChadTower:
The same thing happens to any form of entertainment. It becomes profitable, big business comes in, and it is diluted until it is no longer anything like what got it there. Then it dies and something else comes along.

I guess I AM getting old. I look at teens today and think to my self "What a bunch of puds..." I suppose I better "get with it" cuz one day I too will have to deal with a "teenager". Oh the joy... :-\
