I guess everyone should suck it up and throw all form of expression out the window.

Emo is a great form of music because its one of the few genres where people talk about how they feel and can be honest (at least thats how it seems in my mind). I like a wide range of music though, but emo is favorite...

^i totally and completly agree with that.

Every genre does that. I cant think of a genre that doesnt convey emotions... Thats why music is loved by everyone. To say "emo is one of the few genres where people talk about how they feel and can be honest" just isnt true. Emo just tends to be forward about it...

Well, if you take a look at many genres (take radio pop for instance), their "emotion" tends to be quite fake, at least to me. Sometimes rap and country comes across the same way to me as well.

And the emotions I was refering to were more along the lines of deep emotions. More deep than, "Yay, I got a new car, let me write a song about it" or "Oh boy, look at her butt". I just find alot of genres these days seem fake.

Well, if you class horny as an emotion then Im still right... Ok, so sometimes its harder to see with some genres. But I dont think you can say emo is one of the few genres that shows emotion... Its just more brazen with it, if you get what I mean.. They basically write what theyre feeling and put it into a song.

Note Im not saying the entire genre is like this, but Im looking at emo as a whole.

Lol, well I think thats what I'm saying. Maybe I'm just terrible at writing my feelings out!
