why not?

Because theyre not. Its that simple. You cant just put it into a completely different genre just because you want to... You wouldnt put Eminem into the "screamo" genre, would you..

but that point was being mad earlier, about emo being emotional and ****. besides, eminem doesn't scream.

Exactly my point, you wouldnt put Eminem into the screamo genre because it just doesnt fit. Thats how simple it is. Bon Jovi arent emo. So thats why I wouldnt put them in the emo genre. Emo music doesnt mean all emotional music, Im sorry, but it doesnt. Basically everything would be classed as emo. It was just named emo because it was a style of music that expressed emotion more openly. I know exactly what I mean, but its really hard to put into words, is all.

i guess, but emo is usually associated with that emotional sense atributed to teenagers. something they identify with. is that not why the genre appeals to them. i do see the point you're making, but i guess i was being too general with my analogy. when i said moved, at least for me personally, i meant like moved as in self pity, not pity for others, and in a very teenage sense - the sort of depression that seems to typify the teenage stereotype, usually about girls.

Oh right, I see. But please, dont go saying all emotional music is emo... You'll get your head bitten off.

Ok now do any of you think that Brand New are Emo? Or maybe even Jimmy Eat World?

^i would say they are.

They are talented bands, but I would not categorize them in the emo genre.
